I have been riding a fixies for 40 years and also have just converted a24 year old MTB into a drop bar 1 x gravel bike :-) Thank you for your videos. I appreciate the work it takes. Be well and be safe.. Paul

Great video guys! I love cycling through the Netherlands although I have only really done it along the coast en route to Amsterdam a few times. Very keen to get out bike packing and videos like yours are fantastic for giving me the motivation to do so (depending on when our ridiculous lockdown in the UK lifts, that is). Subscribed for more! All the best :)

Awesome videos guys, I just don’t know how the heck you ride that many km in a day and then do the same day after day, great job fellas , I will keep riding to improve my distance as I haven’t been riding for that long. Thanks for the video and sharing it with us. 👍

(A beginner question) it seems that bikepackers don't take any locks with them. How do you make sure your bikes aren't stolen while you are sleeping?

@Fernwee 4 жыл бұрын

I usually bring a lock, but if you’re really remote maybe you dont need one?

@rainbowlable 4 жыл бұрын

just thread a guy line of your tent through the spokes of your bike. as soon as some one tries to remove it, you'll notice! :) however, a very small cable lock or a hiplok z-lock can be quite useful especially for quick supermarket stops if you're on your own.

Hi! Big thumps up luxembourg. I have a question concerning your focus mares. How does it compare to the paralane you have been riding before in terms of ride feel? I'm looking for a gravel bike with road-bike-like feel on the road, not something too lazy or sluggish handlingwise. Why didn't you go for a propper gravel bike? Thanks for your feedback. Keep the vids coming, ciao.

@Fernwee 4 жыл бұрын

I think the Mares is pretty good on the road as well, really feels like a fast and racey bike, more so than ‘standard’ gravel bikes I think, because CX has a more aggressive geometry than gravel usually.

@doswheelsbetter8292 2 жыл бұрын

It would be really cool if you went back to using the Mares and not the Atlas.
