Regents park in Nov is a bit of a different vibe to the middle of the summer. Still tonnes of committed cyclists out there and even though its close to starting in the dark its definitely still a vibe- might be my last one for the year though.
Also have a quick look at a Magene C606 bike comp. #magene

Socks over or under your bib tights?
Thank you for this- great work
I’m torn between the two sock under if they’re not whiter than white, socks over if they’re in immaculate condition Max , when you get to my age 58 you don’t really care that much 🤣. Keep up the good work 👍🏽💪🏾
Can you interview your friend about his Enve bike?
Proof bakery in oxford does some amazing pastries worth checking out 👌
Always been over after riding with Belgians 15 years ago. You’ve never see European with mudguards either.
Great video Max. How's the Siroko kit for size? What I mean is, normal sizing, or must size up (Eastern sizing). Thanks
Soooo, what’s the views on the bike then? Looks rather decent.
Which Radar do you use?
That shop is always busy I walk pass it every day the amount of people outside is unbelievable
Another good video, Max. Completely agree with you on the big brands and high end computers. Gone with a Garmin 530 and its more than adequate. Same with bikes, purchased a ribble ultra sl last year,supposedly the most aerobike and it possibly is. Faster than my friends Sl8 and half the price
Riding around on flat ground in the cold seems absolutely miserable! I guess good zone 2
Fortitude is the best.
Where do you find the invites for these meets?
White socks over, other colours under
Here’s what I don’t understand: as a Londoner who moved overseas 20+ years ago, I was back home recently and saw so many people on bikes, both commuting and ‘serious’ roadies, way more than when I was living and riding there, Britain has loads of World Tour riders, yet the domestic professional racing scene is dying. Where is the investment? Surely some of these Regents Park crew are connected to big investment banks that can spend a few quid on supporting domestic racing? How is it that the is seemingly more interest than ever, yet the British racing scene is on its knees?
Did you watch China Cycling's video on Magene? A very impressive place… Most likely worth millions in investment.
Socks over, pants too !
Couple of points: Firstly I would recommend not showing any residential areas in your vids around where you live, another youtuber had his bikes stolen recently although I know you keep yours indoors but still dont want to risk it.
Secondly how does the Ibex 3 compare to the Ibex 2? I have the 1 and 2 and the 2 is more mushroomy than the 1. I am waiting to get the 3 when its in stock somewhere.
Another great video, Max. I’ll be interested in the review of the VanRysel and the Magene head unit. I’ve ordered their power meter which seems to be unbelievable value.
You put some great 🚴 vlogs out max
I wear castelli clothing i see you have sportful what's your opinion on this clothing they have some great colours 👍
If it wasn't for live Strava segments, I would have gotten a Chinese bike computer, unfortunately that's something none of them can do yet. Also if I buy a used Garmin or Wahoo today, when I come to sell it later, I won't have lost too much value. If you try to sell a Chinese brand computer or components or bike or frame, there's no resale value at all.
I have a Giant TCR in medium and another in small. They feel equally comfortable to ride. The small has a 2cm longer stem to make up for the slightly shorter top tube.
