Pump action Francis after just 40 seconds. What a treat
Pump Action Francis Bobble Heads as Merch 😃
@@richarddavies8574 I’d buy it!!
It was just missing the music... :)
😂😂😂 more pump action Francis! Yay, hope Justin has seen it,
We really do need an action figure
Kav should send their helmets to Virginia Tech to get independently tested. I can't speak for others here, but I'm at the point where I won't buy a helmet unless I see how they rate it on safety.
exactly what I was thinking, I have heard it a million times 'our helmet is safe!'. A good example is MIPS vs wavecell, the MIPS is safer but is the cheaper version. Also, 3D printing... it isnt for manufacturing, I personally wouldnt wear a helmet thats 3d printed.
@@masonerkelens7176 Yep 3d printing just makes the material weaker, which can theoretically make the crumble zone as she said, but its really bold claim. And also comparing PC and ABS as new and better material vs old and worse one is just pure nonsense.
When you make or sell a helmet in the USA, you have it evaluated to see if it meets CPSC standards. Kav says their helmets are CSPC compliant. You can look up what impact and other standards are by searching Bicylce Helmets CPSCdotgov
I even send my food off for testing before I buy it, you can't be too safe. They may say it's potatoes they're selling you but it has been known for it to be flour in disguise or even a cabbage 😏
@@bengt_axle i'm not doubting that their helmets are safe. It's a question of *how* safe especially when compared to other helmets. VA tech's lab is so valuable because its a standard, independent testing procedure for ALL helmets. That way you can directly compare the products from various brands to see which is the safest
It's always a joy when Lucy is on!
I love Lucy as in the TV series 😃 Its so important to see the dynamics - sociability and integration women bring to cycling. Lucy's a gem 🙏
Fantastic old style vlog! Enjoyed the landscape, stories, and chatting!
Much prefer these types of vlogs Francis keep them coming.
Like the "old style" vlog. Nice to mix it up.👍🤗🚴♀️
Mini Cade adventure woohoo!!! Great to see Lucy joining the fun this time around 🎉
You should do Florida to LA, would be fun to watch.
Are you being sarcastic? He has!
@@DiogoAlpendre1 a season 2!
S2 with Lucy
@@jorenz101 S Two with Lu!
That's a big ride!
We love a good bikepacking vlog, Francis! You should come back to the US in late July and ride the 50th anniversary Ragbrai ride. It's a 7 day ride across the state of Iowa. Thousands of people do it every year. Cheers!
If I had known I might have delayed my trip to Iowa-my daughter lives in Des Moines and I am going over to visit her and my grandchildren, then on to visit a friend in Bozeman Montana, then Yellowstone and home.
Lucy has gained a smidge of us accent - most noticeable when describing Francis's helmet (oo-er)
Love the variety on the channel!! Have a safe trip!
Far prefer this style of content to your new comparison videos.
Fantastic vlog, Francis!!! Always enjoy when Lucy is around. She seems super cool 👊🏼 Look forward to the next episodes. ✌🏼, Rob
Definitely classic Cade vibes. I ❤️ it!
As someone between medium and large…. Promised I would buy the first available custom helmet. Fit meeting with Madilyn Wednesday. 🎉🎉
I'm doing mine Wednesday too! Cannot wait!
Lucy is beloved in the FCU
Very comfortable, easy to adjust, looks cool and costs relatively cheap
Love all your videos! I do miss these old school vlog style ones like when you used to number each video "Vlog #...."
I was about to ask about Lucy's bike before I watched the last 10 seconds 😄 Nice video, looking forward to the next 🙂
Nice to see another road trip video! One day you'll have to do the east coast Greenway trail.
I have been missing this type of vlog
Another touring series through California! Looking forward to seeing what you do!
we neeeed atleast one of these oldschool kind of videos a week :)
Maybe im old school but having had a look at the KAV helmet I still think EPS foam is better than crumple zones... Upon any sort of impact it will provide more cushion. A 3D printed helmet without any foam would probably leave me in tears if I was to accidently drop it.
It boils down to the KAV being just another layer that your head needs to slam though if you ever hit something. Dont get me wrong. Crumple zones will probably help, but at the end of the day thats still a fairly hard plastic that can cause other issues when/if it cracks and leaves jagged edges.
So jealous of those roads... everywhere just looks nice!
These are my fav style videos!
Cannot wait to get my Kav! My fitting is Wednesday morning.
1:02 it was already open you crafty so and so! 😂
I would definitely want the white version of that helmet for summer riding
More of these please!!
Been researching bike helmets for my next one and there is tons of options out there ranging from SPIN to Wavecell to MIPs to loads of other options beyond the mips or no mips debate that is heavily popularized.
There are still loads of other factors of consideration such as which safety features do you prefer for testing to price to looks to ventilation to fit to other options which makes it hard to ultimately decide on a certain helmet.
Don't fuss about, get an HJC, they come from competition motorsports, what more could you want from a helmet company ? They know their stuff.
They're also the only helmets company in the world that actually own a proper wind tunnel facility AAAAND cause that's the rarest thing in the bike industry, their engineers are worthy to be called as such. They don't need to give you a shittown of unnecessary crap technonames "à la Zipp", when they tell you it' aero, it just is.
What a great day 🤍
Yes!
Lucy is adorable! 🙂
The helmet is cool, but it still looks very 3D printed. I hope that they are looking towards finishing techniques because if I saw one in the wild I'd assume it was a prototype. Also do you own the print file? It would be cool to print out your own helmet.
I was immediatly thinking about adjustability. Like what do you do, if it's winter, and you want to wear a hat underneath. Guess it's not a biggie for California.
@MrDuLukes I have thick hair. As soon as I go to the hairdresser, I have to adjust the size of my helmet 😂. Definitely a cool concept though, and I don't doubt they'll find a solution for this.
@@Tobias611
The pads and springs inside the helmet have 4-5mm of movement in them so it's not a problem when you change your hairstyle, get a haircut, or wear a cycling beanie or cap in the winter/ summer and the helmet will still fit you. The pads are basically auto-adjusting without the need for a retention system. Happy to answer any other questions!
@Lucy Mannall that's awesome! I can't wait for it to be available in Germany then, Francis got lucky with his U.S. visit! Do you already use alcohol fumes to make the 3d print smoother?
love it when Lucy tiny head is in the videos
I love these old style videos!
I do like the old style video's... like the Across USA u did with Justin :)🚲
familiar sites along the 101 Freeway; in the past, I've traveled frequently between Monterey, CA and Ventura County.
Your route (in the opposite direction) is where outflow from the largest lake in California once made its way to the Pacific Ocean. That lake is back this year --- Tulare Lake. Spreading far and wide across the cotton fields that the lake was drained to create. You've heard of this wonderful-yet-problematic deluge, right?
You are a brave, brave man. Eating Taco Bell on a long bike trip…
King City - famous for the speed trap outside of town on the 101.
All I could think of was flies, bees and wasps going straight into the front honeycombed holes on the helmet 🤣😂
Yep, me too...helmet manufacturers really p*ss me off, they should all include anti-insect mesh and if the weight weenies want to save 2g they can cut it out surely? This time of year I put away my decent Giro helmet and dig out my (reduced) £2.99 LIDL helmet that's 14 years old and has insect mesh.... I can't find any decent helmet that's fitted with mesh these days..... (I got one of those "grip grab" mesh nets to go over the Giro and they just look shit and don't stay in place, and the mesh is too fine to allow air through unlike bee/wasp/fly sized mesh!!)
Pump action Francis makes his triumphant return haha
This is the best style of video. Keep it up.
"Justin gets me vanilla" 😂
great content, super interesting, thank you
Yay Lucy!
I'm a black kit man, like Francis. But Lucy's white kit bits look awesome... particularly the shoes and socks.
Loved the video! Your time line is throwing me off. Too used to your daily videos.
Love me some Lucy, I miss these videos
I wonder if the locals listen to Lucy and think "My god she has a strong English accent" 😄
@@paulangeloff400 For sure. Some people would have trouble understanding her at all.
Francis is in Cali!!! Welcome back man. If you ever go from San Francisco to Monterey let me know lol
Dude, the Doritos shell taco is such an advancement in taco technology. Yum! Always nice to have Lu along.
Luuuucy! And Pump-Action Francis...on the road again (cue Willie Nelson)! #HiJustin
Lucy!!!!🎉
Love the "old style videos"
Pump Action Francis is back to save the day! Where's the action figure at! lol
Is the Lucy with the tiny head that used to work at Sigma?!
I really like the Star Wars POC helmet!
How is Justin doing? Hope he recovered well from the bike packing trip.
Ditto. Would love an update.
Nice helmet for catching flying insects 😁
Home boys rolling by costco and behind target in sand city in the beginning
I prefer this type of video!
Bam bam, love it!
Lucy Is Warm Like A Lightsaber is the name of my Larkin Poe coverband.
Should’ve made a stop in Visalia!
I have been to King City, more than once.
When you stop at the super interesting petrol stations and mainly when you go in for food.....what lock do you carry/use?
Lunchtime Modelos sounds awesome.
Thanks Francis and Lucy...I've never seen you with a cap before ? Cali likes you ...
Light sabre joke - best ever!
Happy Star Wars day!
Giro Edition Jawbreakers ?
Re released ? Thought they were super rare ?
They are super rare 😏
I used to drive to Thousand Oaks from San Jose and king city was always my gas stop, for gasoline and Taco Bell
Cornelius Would Be Proud.🙌🏻
Even though Taco Bell is bottom-of-the-bucket Mexican food, the Doritos Locos Taco is weirdly so good. There used to be a 'Firey' option that came with a neon red shell. Yum!
Cade and parktool videos>>>
Yeh Lucy.
Helmets look good. Remind me of the HEXAR ones which o also really liked but I think they’ve gone out of business now? Sad as maybe they were just too soon to bring the product to market when maybe now it’ll be more commercialised and sell more. Nice video.
Love a Frankie bikepacking trip
PLEASE go to El Tarasco in Manhattan Beach (Rosecrans Ave) when you're in LA. Best mexican food you'll ever eat ;)
Oh nice world famous King City aka the place I stop for gas when i’m riding to Paso Robles 😂
I’m nearby, a little known town called Monterey 😅 you may have heard of the small race known as Sea… Seal Otter Classic or something
He says in the first sentence that they are riding from Sea Otter Classic.
i really missed those kind of videos!
Miss Justin!
I literally had just asked (myself) what Lucy's bike setup was and what she is riding...and you obviously heard me! Inconceivable.
By the way, the Taco Bell filled cinnabon bites also taste different. So, there's two things. 😁
Hey! Francis, when are you coming to South Africa?...
And do some of your videos this side?....
PICKLE IS BACK!!
This looks pretty neat. However without independent crash testing, I'm not sure I would trust these helmets with the safety of my brain.
Yes they exceed the standards, but if you dig into the standards, you'll find that they are not really ideal based on what we know today.
The only way we as consumers can truly judge the safety of a helmet is by crash test data. Release the data please!
I have really large head😥😥Custom fit helmet will be very nice.👍👍
BAJA BLAST FOR THE WIN!
SO. GOOD. SO GREEN!
@@lucymannall gotta love the green!
I love how she said "Modelos"
No testing, hard to trust... Remember what happened to the carbon made submarine that exploded exploring Titanic? They refused to submit themselves for safety testing... Foam is not "old" technology, it's tried and true... My helmet saved my head, and it's made of foam during the last crash...
Lucy has picked up the accent quickly!
Fuuuukin love CADE!!! ❤
Only a Brit wears a black helment in the sun :-)
I like the vlogs!
What is the bike Lucy is riding
Send the helmet to the Virginia Tech helmet lab
