Thank you very much, once again I am very honored to have said yes to get your bike. I am the organizer of the food and drink part of the opening ceremony for the public, it has already traveled more than 200 km around the stage during the ceremony! (it is a little big for me) I admit I did not understand directly what you were getting at when you approached me in the street but it is a great experience Congratulations for your story, I will give you news of the bike soon!
This is awesome! I did a similar thing once in Edmonton giving away my facebook bike I used for a couple weeks. I often wonder if the young woman got good use from it!
This is one of those random YT recommendations that you get once a year that was really worth watching every single second of. A massive well done from me. Word of advice though: Never, ever - under any circumstances - use Google to guide you when riding a bike! Not only did I get fed up with it sending me down unridable tracks through forests, it once sent me onto a motorway despite being told I'm on a bike. Haven't used it since. Google hates cyclists.
Cycle.travel is my favourite: it plots really good quality routes, preferring cycle paths and low-traffic roads, and the app gives you turn-by-turn directions just like Google Maps.
it would be awesome to mail (yeah that paper thing) the old man you got the bike from, to show him your adventure, the route you took, the landmark you have seen, and that you've been able to find the bike a new owner !
this was such a joy to watch! so wholesome and exceptionally shot. I hope you and Jean Marc stayed in touch! also loved the use of Ride. I hope you have another ride planned soon - greetings from the US!
Episode 2: Paris to Rome? Looooooooool. You are crazy😂😂😂😂 Looked super fun and challenging. And what a nice bunch of people you met on the way, esp Jean-Mark.
I used to ride a bike when i was a kid until it got stolen. Sadly my parents couldn’t buy me another one at that time but they got me a motorbike few years later, and i ended up getting up into an accident with it and breaking my backbone from multiple places, glad to make it out alive since then i dont ride it too often as i’m still traumatised thus i got myself a bicycle again, a mtb. I’ve been riding it for last 3 days and i’m so happy that my youtube algorithm is also suggesting me such good content like yours, motivating me to ride even more. Great content lad and even greater accomplishment. Keep it up. Cheers!
I filmed my ride from Essex to London to Paris with some friends a couple of months ago and while our route had its hairy moments, yours looked like an absolute calamity. 🤣. Never trust Google maps. Komoot is your friend on journeys like this. That said, what an adventure you had, which you wouldn't have got if you'd stayed on the well beaten path, so chapeau. Great storytelling video. Really enjoyed it. 👌🏼
What a great video matte, incredible experience, reminded me some of my trips on germany, getting lost, nothing to eat, rushing to arrive on time, incredible.
I love how you drag a clip art of yourself by the map to create an iteration of your actual progress! Also, that Raleigh is a very happy that you give it a second chance to be on the road again.
You are so heart warming, the little giggle at the patisserie shop, the positive attitude when the bike broke to making friends with John Mark. Look forward to more adventures
16:00, as an English first, French second speaker, I have made this minor faux pas before! Saying ‘beaucoup’ for a minor task is seen as unnecessary/patronizing. You would say it for something that is meaningful and unexpected. For slightly more expected tasks, just the merci is fine, or maybe even ‘merci bien’. Enjoying the video!
Just stumbled across your channel, really enjoyed that video and viewed as a cycling grandad. Really great to see someone out on a bike doing an adventure rather than sat inside on video games. Keep safe and loving life fella.
Watching you grow bigger since the beginning has been an insane thing to see, and I couldn't have imagine this is what this channel would become. Great job man, genuinely.
Ahh thanks mate. I really appreciate you watching for so early on. Comments from people like you is what kept me going. I think you might be one of the only people who have stuck through all my phases on content haha. Cheers man 🧡
This is truly awesome! Felt like I was there with you! And meeting Jean Marc on your bike ride ad for such a brilliant ending. Just subbed and look forward to seeing more!
This was in my recommendations. I dont even cycle or like bikes but watched the whole thing; you're hilarious and what a great adventure. Subscribed now!
INCREDIBLE VIDEO !! i randomly had it on my fyp while i was studying and it was so intresting and wholesome i had to pause my study session to watch it, greetings from morocco , KEEP IT UP MATE !!
The ending is just amazing I though with the cinematography and the quality of this video u must have atleast a couple million subs IDK HOW U only have 18.5k jsut an amazing video KEEP GOING
I love everything about this video , Chris you are such a humble and amazing guy , I didn’t skip a second , can’t wait for your next vid , take care of yourself buddy 💪🫂
I was literally bored watching the regular videos youtube serves me today I clicked on the " new to you" tab and found your video. Watching this video made me feel veru refreshed. Great content btw
Awesome video. In my experience, cycling buddies you meet along the way will sometimes be your brothers for life. Nothing compares to the bond that is shared between two people just cycling together for hours...
at first i thought you're someone who's big that i just dont know who would've thought I'd find an underrated channel that produces this high quality videos! goodluck to you and your channel mate!
I love this video. Thank you for sharing it with us and taking that trek. And thank you so much for using twenty one pilots music in it. Hearing them made me fall in love even more. Awesome stuff mate 🫶
me and my little sister really enjoyed this thanks for posting such quality content and also for bleeping out the f-word. i wouldn't want my 7 yr old sister hearing that and like no one bleeps it out so i rly appreciate that. no shade to those that don't of course its their choice i just appreciate when creators do. the video was super entertaining and i am now subscribed.
I love this video. Thank you for sharing it with us. And thank you so much for using twenty one pilots music in it. Hearing them made me fall in love even more. Awesome stuff mate 🫶
Jean marc is a legend, I also Cycle alot and i live in holland. i cycled from Groningen to the german border and from Groningen to sneek. (I am 15 years old)
☀️ 🇫🇷 Great vlog Good that the "horse" has been "reborn" & is still putting in the kms / miles around Paris ! Wouldn't fancy that next major service bill though :) You could've thrown in the helmet at the au revoir !
You definitely HAVE TO go to the guy you got the bike from and show him this video. It will make him so happy seeing his 25yr of use bike having this journey 🤩
Everything from the Quality of the Video and the commentary was amazing. You've gained me as a sub i hope to see more amazing and quality content chris keep up the amazing work
Wow!! Incredible video, shot amazingly and such an inspiration for me to try my own adventure. So stoked you gave it to someone as well. Keep up the amazing content dude I hope you achieve great things!!!!
I have absolutely zero clue why RUclips recommended your channel but I’ve had a fun morning watching your trip so I’m glad it did! 🚲 🇫🇷 😎 👌🏽 Also, Jean Marc is a total ledge 🎣
I was expecting a crappy youtube video that was all fake and stuff...Dude, you killed it with this video! Makes me want to travel longer distances on my bike. The freedom seems so fun and natural. Keep it up man!
You are a lucky man. I watched the video randomly. It was great that you met the man who was going to Paris by bike. I had fun, vwatching video funny to be honest. Good luck.
What a great vid! The idea that you reached Paris on basically a scrap bike and that you didn't get any serious mechanical failures surprises me. Greetings from the Netherlands!
I've travelled most of the world and met many people, memories is what it's all about. I'm 56 now married and live in Thailand and still make memories. Keep travelling 🙏🏴
I randomly found your video and my dad came in and recognised you from where u lived in swanwick with ur parents and i am binge watching your channel as a runner myself
We’ve used the Newhaven to Dieppe ferry a couple of times. Seeing your video brought back great memories. Both occasions we took the overnight trip and both had lots of cyclists as passengers. I remember when disembarking at Dieppe seeing the cyclists continuing on their cycling adventure at 3 or 4 (very early) o clock, in total darkness.
Thank you very much, once again I am very honored to have said yes to get your bike. I am the organizer of the food and drink part of the opening ceremony for the public, it has already traveled more than 200 km around the stage during the ceremony! (it is a little big for me)

Congratulations for your story, I will give you news of the bike soon!
I'm so happy to hear the bike is being used! Thanks so much for your help Pierre, lets hope the bike can keep going! Speak to you soon :)
This is awesome! I did a similar thing once in Edmonton giving away my facebook bike I used for a couple weeks. I often wonder if the young woman got good use from it!
such a wholesome moment made my whole night!
have you made the seat lower yet?
How your babe

Thank you!! 🤩 oh jeez, yeah I’ve learnt the hard way to not use Google maps lol
what should i use instead?
@@WVWM komoot & strava is what I use. Cycle specific routes and you can choose what type of cycling you want to do and your fitness level.
Cycle.travel is my favourite: it plots really good quality routes, preferring cycle paths and low-traffic roads, and the app gives you turn-by-turn directions just like Google Maps.
@@Elucidated_ImpYes i used to use google maps, but komoot is better, it gives you better routes based on your bike type.
Jean Marc. What a guy.
Honestly one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Jean Marc’s the man!
fr what a guy. u wont just meet people like that every day
Get him to open a youtube channel bro
@kekisenpai831 the cycling community is nice mostly
when i heard "jean marc" i immediately remembered when I killed him in rdr2
Dont you just love the RUclips algorithm when it brings up videos like this! I grinned the whole way through😂
You gave life to that bike's final moments. And I kinda feel your sadness knowing that you'll never see Jean Marc again.
it would be awesome to mail (yeah that paper thing) the old man you got the bike from, to show him your adventure, the route you took, the landmark you have seen, and that you've been able to find the bike a new owner !
Awesome call, I hope Terry likes French people...
nice pfp. For khaz modan!
THIS GUY IS SO UNDERRATED. BANGER VIDEO!!!!
My guy! Thank you!! 🤩
very agreeable
idk why, but for me, this video feels like a kind of relief from the content that we've become complacent with.
keep it up mate!
this was such a joy to watch! so wholesome and exceptionally shot. I hope you and Jean Marc stayed in touch! also loved the use of Ride. I hope you have another ride planned soon - greetings from the US!
Yes, me and Jean Marc are still in touch. Thank you for watching! Yes absolutely, people seem to like the cycling videos and they’re super fun to make
I love the running and biking videos! This is your best one yet!
Thank you!! Really appreciate it 🙏
God damn 17K sub is insanely criminal with this quality of a video.
Thank you 🤩
This is one of the coolest stories I have ever witnessed. Huge props to you Chris!
This is one of the most captivating and real videos I've found from such a small channel you remind me of when I found ryan trahan years ago
Episode 2: Paris to Rome?
Looooooooool. You are crazy😂😂😂😂 Looked super fun and challenging. And what a nice bunch of people you met on the way, esp Jean-Mark.

Is ur back ok
I didn’t order for a yappichino 😂
Nice, Pls continue being a Mountain Biker
Now this was a BANGER of a video. I feel like in 2028 I should ride from Toronto (Canada) to LA for the Olympics.
that would be quite a ride ! I'd love to see that
5:31 loved the cows with invisible bells
Hahahah yeah as mentioned there was no audio for a few of those clips so used SFX
I filmed my ride from Essex to London to Paris with some friends a couple of months ago and while our route had its hairy moments, yours looked like an absolute calamity. 🤣. Never trust Google maps.

Komoot all the way!
@@luntiangrace And Routeyou aswel
100%! was hoping other people would recommend komoot, because it really is just so much better for all kinds of sports!
What a great video matte, incredible experience, reminded me some of my trips on germany, getting lost, nothing to eat, rushing to arrive on time, incredible.
What a story, what a trip, what a guy! 🤩
Wasn’t he just. Cheers mate!! 😀
What a liar, ferry is NOT a bike.
What Ana amazing journey. Your energy and positivity is infectious.
I love how you drag a clip art of yourself by the map to create an iteration of your actual progress!
Also, that Raleigh is a very happy that you give it a second chance to be on the road again.
Hahaha i had to bootstrap it lol.
Yeah I hope many more years of life come out of it!
You are so heart warming, the little giggle at the patisserie shop, the positive attitude when the bike broke to making friends with John Mark. Look forward to more adventures
Fantastic video!! Real old school (wholesome) YT stuff with real experiences, hardship and joy. Love it.

@@hannahscorneroftheinternet most welcome! Bonnes études!
10:55 looks so cinematic. Amazing image

Great video, Chris! Someday I’ll be proud to say that I’ve been watching your channel since the very beginning.
Thank you! I really appreciate the kind message!

☀️ 🇫🇷
Great vlog
Good that the "horse" has been "reborn" & is still putting in the kms / miles around Paris !
Wouldn't fancy that next major service bill though :)
You could've thrown in the helmet at the au revoir !

You definitely HAVE TO go to the guy you got the bike from and show him this video. It will make him so happy seeing his 25yr of use bike having this journey 🤩

Google underestimates most cycling journeys. Great video and a way to go viral weeks after the closing ceremony.
Brideleway sections are like playing puncture roulette. Glad you enjoyed the South Downs.
This guy deserves a million subs bro this vid was amazing!
