What size V-mount bags do you run on your fork? Thinking of getting some for a ride through Germany! Greetings from Belgium!
Good place to start. Flat and dedicated cycle lanes. I miss my cycling in NL. If you need to carb load you should try a kap salon 🙂
Awesome trip! watching every day from Florida where today it was a lovely 36 and 100% humidity!
Welcome in NL!, by the looks of it you already crossed the "Moerdijkbrug". Excited to see the adventure !
Im soo damn happy you guys are out on a trip again. Always super fun to watch. ✌️
Fair play to Ben for continuing the ride with Robbie the Robot, I'd of got exceptionally tall Chris to post it home for me. Have a good day tomorrow. 🙂
"we only bought him to look at"….bbwwaahhahaha. Gold.
Now that this has turned into a sailing channel, is day 3 going to feature Ben in a bikini?
Francis you have a great talent for filming and editing your vlog into a story, an interview, and random silliness. These are making me think of A Hard Day's Night. Cheers.
How are those quoc grand tourers?
… Careful to not over do it on the hay fever meds with steroids. I took 6 puffs in a day, an apparently it can make you vomit for 24 hours. Didn’t know an OD was possible.
Some things:
1) Ben's jersey is my favorite jersey I own… wait, no. The jersey Ben is wearing is the… no… I own the same jersey as Ben in this video and it's my favorite jersey I own… … I think that both makes it not weird and also weird. Sorry.
2) I would LOVE to have the cycling infrastructure The Netherlands has in the USA! It seems so lovely.
3) I might have chuckled a bit too much when you said, "Look at all them Garmin 1040's!"
Great road movie. In the end they will ride out over a cliff. #freerobbierobot
Nice trip. Hay fever a torture..only someone who suffers can know..as a child sometimes had to sit in a dark room😬however just stopped when I was in my early 30’s. Enjoy.
Very entertaining series!
Ben should just post the robot home
Try vaseline up each nostril – traps pollen, reduces hay fever symptoms.
Good to see Chris take me up on my 'wear gloves if you love your palms' tip.
Holland is legit so well organised bike paths. Cross the street to Gernmany etc and it dies off in a few hundred meters compared to Dutch signage.
“Seven sniffs of a nose thing and smashing some tablets” sounds very 1980’s pro peloton.
I laughed so hard at the "Look at all dem garmin 1040s!". So now we know how 1040s are grown LOL
There is something sad about seeing a load of British folks enjoying Europe; sowish Brexit wasn't a thing. Anyway, love the chemistry between youlads. I wonder if the BBC would pick this up and use the TopGear format. Keep it up, ye are great fun to watch.
Brilliant vlog! Would love to follow this route myself one day!
You passed my hometown of Dordrecht! I was out bikepacking myself otherwise I would have loved to join. By the way, you could have totally skipped that second ferry. there is a bridge literally 500 meters down the road, it's even in the right side background at 7:57! Sounds to me like Dutch Chris is a poor route planner 😉
Have fun and enjoy!
Poor effort no windmills……
holland got it right with those bike lanes but it took a lot of road deaths to change the mindset. They did it, we can/should to. Cyclists would be happy and maybe motorists. As long as the bike lanes done become some racetrack for Ineos wannabe's
You didn't go through Haverhill by any chance? I am sure we saw u at tescos. Could be wrong.
That Zero Lemon jersey is absolutely awesome 👏
…it’a like the 3 Ronnie’s 😂
What the hell was that crankshaft out of?
What antihistamines are you using?
I forgot how much I missed the Dutch sense of humour…. 😆 and Francis, you’re killing the video thang lately 👌can’t wait to watch the next one
What’s the name of the bike shop ?
Sniffed ”nose thing” and smahed ”some” tablets..
This has given me the idea to bring my bike too to Newcastle, but did you guys left you bikes in the cargo area? Don't think i would trust that with a 3K bike.
Dutch Chris is average height lol, for tall people
far more entertaining than 'Jerome K. Jerome 3 men in a boat' any day
I had the mechanical version of this on my Grifter in the 80’s!
