- It's my second year in Mallorca, on a great cycling holiday arranged by Moloko Cycling. Maybe the ride to the lighthouse at Cap de Formentor is the most iconic ride on the island.
As usual I am wearing a kit courtesy of Siroko Cycling: if you would like to shop for Siroko kit you can use my direct link to access a version of their website where prices will be further reduced by an additional 10%, no need for other codes. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing
I really admire joy, energy and motivation. Thank you for the video.
You are so welcome!
Was there for 3 weeks last July. Hot as Hades. So great. Can’t wait to get back and ride those roads again.
so jealous of you Federico and other RUclipsrs who have been turning up on Mallorca. Looks like cycling heaven. Congrats!
What a super video. Thank you so much for sharing your trip Federico.
Excellent video editing/composition! Thank you!
Wow...What a superb video Federico loved that one buddy,thank you for sharing and all of your efforts bringing your excellent videos to us🤜🤛
Thank you!!
Nice. I was in Mallorca last week. Superb weather and I had 5 days riding. I did Formentor last year so this time was down south. In fact my icon photo is from the ride to Formentor.
Fantastic stuff Federico. I am in awe. Great people to ride with. I bet it hurts coming back to London after the brief exposure to paradise 😊
I hope those women walking past you at the end didn't think you were crazy, when you were talking to your rim brakes😂😂
They do think I'm crazy 😂😂
Have to say Fede great 1st Vlog you’re making pretty much every rider stuck in the uk 🇬🇧 very jealous!!!!! The kit & bikes look superb!! Have a brilliant week enjoy the sun & bring back a slice for the uk please 👍🏽
Should not have done it, it's raining now 😖😂
Love your videos Federico!!!
Thank you!!
Great video - really enjoyed it
Love how you talk to your bike. I also do this...
They listen!
Thankyou for sharing. Pleasant video in fine weather, good for cycling. Greetings from Melbourne, in the big brown bastard country., down under.
Really enjoy your videos, you have sparkling personality !
😄👍

You are most welcome. Enjoy watching & listening. The world needs more people like you in it. Such positive personality you have Sir.
I am 77 yo. ride my Merida Sculture rim 400 bicycle every day, not too far, only 8 - 10 kms per day.
Bicycles, the best gift mankind gave to us all !
Chow mate - take care out there.
@@kevinbourke4038 well done!!
the Soller loop climbing out on the Col de Soller and returning through Esporles, passing by Valldemosa, through Deia, and back into Soller is one of my favorites. Definitely a trek to do that from Pollenca though! (i stayed in Deia last time in Mallorca) the switchbacks on the Col de Soller are a blast.
Absolutely gorgeous!
Awesome video. Beautiful place to cycle, I’m promising myself I will get there one day. Keep up with the brilliant content 👍
Ok you have twisted my arm to go here Federico.... Looks Amazing 😍
Looks amazing. Aside I'm glad that my ears deceived me when I heard the name, I thought you said Malakas Cycling, which is probably a different sort of place
Awesome ride!! Enjoy the rest of the trip! Aloha 🤙
Love this location. But have only done the lighthouse run on ROUVY. Love it. Enjoying the videos, please bring the sunshine back to RP 😉
I brought the rain here!
@@fede1275 saw the pic. Hope it moves on!
I was there two years ago...the fact I am not there now makes me very sad. Great video Fede!
It's always so nice to ride here!
Enjoy my friend :)
Awesome, looking forward to it when im back on the island in a couple of weeks, especially as the road is now closed to cars. Will try and do Albercutx too, have you done it?
No, I haven't done that bit, next time!
Ancora una volta, un video fantastico. Quanto sei fortunato. Qui, 4 gradi. 🥶. tutti i miei saluti.
Oggi però piove, da protestare con il governo spagnolo!
I’m here too but down in Can Pastilla in the rain yesterday and today 😮😫, the sun will be here tomorrow though and we’re off to Sa Calobra 🚴🏼😊.
Yes, we are going to wait today and see, maybe tomorrow Sa Calobra or the West coast
Enjoy your stay there and enjoy the rides while it lasts!
Two weeks ago in NL we had 20+ degrees Celsius, so I ordered a new (Yes, Siroko!) bib short to be prepared for warmer weather and guess what:Tomorrow I'll be on my bike commute here in NL, in long / long + thermal under layer because: 1 degree Celsius at 7 AM 😢
😱😱
The riding looks awesome. Everyone really do look immaculate😎 You may as well be sporting the new Siroko spray on edition for that wrinkle free look, for dry days only I imagine🤟
👍👍
Looks amazing what an amazing lucky day. Can you try and fit me in a bike bag next time 👍
Really surprised you dont have more subs!
I know! 😂 😂
Cio Frederico. how is the situation to "park" the bike over there for a coffee break? thanks
Hi, in April it was really high season, so many bikes around. Usually you can leave the bike where you can see it, it gave me a sense of security. Maybe because I am riding one of the cheapest bikes around!
@@fede1275 hehe. Imnalso bringing an Ultimate :)
Epic ride 😍 and nice weather! How is your Ultimate after the crash doing?
This is my second Ultimate, feels amazing here!!
What Brand is your Bike Case?
I rented a classic Bike Box Alan
Video stupendo siete bellissimi!Tanta invidia, ieri sono uscito in mtb e dalle mie parti c'erano 4 gradi alla partenza e 9 al rientro 🤬🙄
Where is this place ? An island ?
Yes, Balearic islands
@@fede1275
Ahh - Espania - thankyou for your response. Looked it up on google too. Nice part of the world.
You live in London ? - be too hectic for me. So many people, concrete, cars, trucks, buses etal. I am safer here in Melbourne.
Great video! Did you rent bikes?
Not me, I got my Ultimate
Great Ride probably my favourite in Mallorca even better from the beginning of June until the end of September as all cars are banned 😊 so much safer and enjoyable. Rim Brakes till I die 😊.
Yes, maybe the West coast is also marvellous
anyone knows where custom jersies can be made?
Some brands have custom programs, including Siroko
Is this the best time of the year to visit?
I believe so, unless you don't mind the heat of summer
@@fede1275 i do mind lol. How hot is it?
@@JFomo now in the 20s with the sun, in summer over 30 C
Not jealous 😒😒
Can tell we’re from London..what a tosspot thing to say, do only Londoners wear decent gear?
It's more of a fashion statement
looks like a nice place to ride a bycicle
Cycling Heaven!
Just back yesterday from Mallorca. Great time. Appreciate your content, but this focus on cycling fashion is so exclusionary. We need more people in cycling, but seeing big groups in really expensive kit is quite off putting. Appreciate you being a Siroko ambassador, but let’s not promote Maap and PNS as any way good for cycling. Saw loads of cycling wankers in Mallorca tbh. All fashion and no riding.
I can understand what you are trying to say, but I'm not sure I can agree. As in fashion, people choose brands that sometimes ask for an enormous price, but then it's up to the buyer to decide if it's a good value or not. I have friends in PNS or Maap kit that are great riders and I saw some rude cyclists in old school 80s kit. Embracing the fully inclusive mindset I am happy to accept all well behaved cyclists in whatever brand they choose.
I wear all sorts of brands some at the higher end including MAAP, and believe me I can ride. Sometimes I go out in a baggy t-shirt with baked bean juice dripping down it onto my baggy shorts.
The thing is, don't have a go at people because they want to look good, and don't be too quick to judge ability based on your subconscious fashion prejudices.
Would you rather they drive cars instead?
TBF to you both above my last sentence was a bit generalist and absolutist. And you are both right. There are plenty of riders who can really ride and wear expensive kit. And conversely plenty of wankers in shitty kit. I think we all make good points. My perspective is living in a really rich, but predominantly white, Central European cycling country and being a monitory it is difficult to fit in to groups. No matter how well I can ride and I’m decent. Ive been inspired by organisations that are trying to get more and more people in to cycling. Sadly a massive barrier is cost. The sport we love is just too expensive. I’ve met too many groups that judge newcomers by bike and clothing. Not performers of these key items, but branding. People are free to rep whatever brands they like, I do too. I also understand people also have to make a quick judgement of you whether to trust your wheel or not, as they wanna get home safely. And they’re gonna use certain cues consciously or subconsciously.
I just want more people to ride bikes and preferably road bikes (cause that what I love) and feel absolutely welcome.
I’m not writing to justify my words, I’m replying like this in case other viewers of your channel are interested in this chat.
I agree with you people can wear what they want.
To everyone else, just get on a bike and ride.
@@nateksw well explained and thank you for clarifying what you wanted to say. I understand that cycling is an easy territory for people who want to feel above others and they think they can achieve that just by buying expensive kit. Hopefully you can ride with people who can include anyone with a similar mindset and have enjoyable rides.
Good to meet you! @reds1mb
Great 👍👍
