It doesn't matter that there isn't cycling in any of your videos, we simply already know you on a bicycle, but right now you are opening up and letting us know a very important and exciting part of your life. There are a lot of changes from what I see, so it is normal that there is no cycling at some point. I wish you the best in your new life story. A big hug.

Great to see real life content! Best of luck with your new business Thomas!

Don’t stress my man, the video was very enjoyable, it doesn’t matter if you’re riding or not , we are invested in you 😊

Trained hard for 5 years for competitions. Many hours on Zwift. I had lost all the fun in cycling. Now I enjoy cycling outdoors without having to perform. Enjoy cycling more now. I often even forget my heart rate belt

I enjoy the off the bike stuff! A mix is great too. My wife and I have been talking about moving to Portugal and I find these extremely interesting. Keep up the great content!!!

...dogs, family, life & Cycling... perfect ingredients for happiness....just keep enjoying it.

Im 63 years old 85 kilos 179cm i get strava trophy's a few KOM,s and go to the gym,its not all about being stick thin!

Good luck in the new home and business. Great looking tattoo 😊

A video that starts of with daisy is always gonna be good. Cycling chat and also tattooing I. Your video who would have guessed your you tube name 😂. Great stuff man

A few days off the bike will be good for the soul. It can become over demanding and a short time off will re adjust the mind , body and wellbeing, always a good watch pal. Best wishes for the new business

Loved the video. Quick delivery as always. Always a good watch 👍

So wonderful you assist at the shelter dogs are the best! So sad the two have been in the shelter for five years far out!

I don't think people watch to see you ride, I think it's because people are invested in you. Riding is just a part of you like your username suggests. I hope someone adopts those dogs soon. 🤞Great vid as always

Realised this about myself a couple of months ago. I have lost a vast majority of upper body strength and at the age of 58 I have rejoined the gym for a couple of sessions a week. Fab content as always.

Great vid dude as always don’t worry doesn’t have to all be cycling..good luck with the new business man your tattoo skills are amazing man, awesome.. I know where to come if I want a holiday, cycling and a new tattoo 😊 Pete 🚴🏻👍

Thomas, thanks for the update on your journey to Portugal. Great video even without any cycling content. I’d love to see more of you on your BMX, possibly other forms of cycling and other activities that you now have access to. I find that my favourite channels are those that vary their activities.

Glad your settling in Portugal, i was there last week on hols, been there 3 times in the last year and i love it. would love to live there.....Good luck with your future plans and congrats with the opening of your new shop and home :)

Nice change getting to see the other side of life in Portugal .... enjoyed it.

This was a good video Thomas. Glad you guys are doing well in Portugal!

Lol, I like the cut back and fourth between shots, enjoyable to watch mate

Great ‘day/week in the life vid. Following your journey of the exciting move to a different life! Most people never do it so well done mate 👍

❤wishing you two the very best best in your new chapter

Loved this. Awesome work on that tattoo too. Beautiful.

True words and great editing. I never enjoyed racing, preferring to ride centuries and Fondo's when I had time. MAAP please make group kits!

Incredible adventure to start a new business and a new life but you got what it takes and seriously, lately I have been wearing a non lycra top to hide them handles, not the bike ones....

Good luck with the new day job, great to see the work your doing with the dogs too. Must be super rewarding, but sad too those two look wonderful if I was in Portugal I'd want them

Always good to see your vids. You're right, just ride because you enjoy it. At the age of almost 65, I have no pressure to set records. I ride because its just the best high. On a par with riding my motorbike, watching my dog run on a beach etc. Hope the business goes well. Great tatts!

I like the day in the life sort of video. Good work 👏

Great video, hope you two will settle down really soon.

Nice one man. Great message. And great to hear about your Portugal life. Mad respect all around.

Wholesome video :) don't worry about the lack of cycling

Love your videos… the intro by Press1 is fabulous. Try getting to Monseraz, Redondo, Estramoz region of the East Alentejo. Fabulous quiet roads amongst the vines and olive groves. Great cycling.

Good luck Tom 👍

You are one of the best cyclist and youtuber i have seen, keep up the good work :)

It’s healthy to take a break and to not feel guilty about trying to change the natural body dysmorphia that is common in just road cycling. You have the ideal platform to advise and inspire that you don’t have to follow the crowd and to just be true to yourself. Good on you.

Sure, here is the translation: Please make more videos like this! A video where you film yourself every day, showing what you do and eat, would be awesome!!❤️

Interesting in sight into the life of Thomas 😂 nice one mate keep the videos coming. Hopefully Rach is settling in to life too.🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️👍👍

Kudos to you and your partner. I am animal lover and love cycling. Love your vids and passion 👍

So happy that your finally getting sorted mate , love the videos , keep them coming

even if you don't have cycling content featured in a video, the vlogs are always very enjoyable to watch! we just like hearing about your interesting life

Great content mate.

Great tattoo work , keep up the cool vids

Editing skills on point my man! 👊😉

I was waiting for this. 🔥😂

Happy Sunday Thomas 🙌🙌

Cycling or not, your videos are great 👍

Health and enjoyment first! I used to feel the same as you regarding my weight and the bikes weight. It took me a while to stop caring and not take it so seriously. I am 51 and 100kg now and cycle every weekend. When I was into cycling I was 85kg and my strength was rubbish. Now I am more balanced. My strength training is three times per week and I feel a lot more happy with my overall health and fitness. Also because of the blend of activities I have been able to complete a Hyrox in Glasgow and I am off to Wales next month to complete the SAS fan dance. Love your content and you make me want to get another tattoo. Cheers mate!

Boa noite Thomas. Abraço desde Sintra /Ericeira... Adoro os teus vídeos, mas este em particular,ver o estúdio da Bang-Bang, e com conteúdos mais familiares, com diferentes actividades...muito bom mesmo 🙌🏼 Continuação de mais e excelentes vídeos 💪🏼 Cumprimentos Artur Freire

Nice vid, I improved my road cycling no end by doing upper body work with weights.

Was such a good video Thomas, loved the editing!

Dude that tat was sick. You're very talented

Quite right Thomas, do what makes you happy if that's Bmx and or gym. Your life, sure we will always watch your videos.

Great Ride Bro

Good onya, cross training is healthier than cross dressing, hitting the gym, or the pool , or lacing up the runners helps to balance out the hours spent pedalling, it’s all about that we are made from the ground up for Moving!

thanks Thomas!

a short time off just makes you stronger when you get back on :)

Totally agree, I like to live outside people's ''boxes''.

Well I never! Superstar KZfaqrs have real lives too? 😅 Looks like you made an excellent choice on the move - fantastic environment. Though it is very sunny here in Essex right now…

I had this issue, I used to lift weights 4-5x a week and ride MTB at bike parks on a weekend so I was pretty strong! Then I discovered road riding and ended up losing 13kgs over two years and ended up looking like a ghoul 😂 Started back in the gym January and stacked loads of upper body strength back on and a bit of weight feel so much better for it, just slower on climbs but the mental/physical benefit is much better than 4 seconds off a climb!

Here for the Sunday content 👀👀👀🥹♥️♥️

100% agree. 😊👍

Another great epidode.

Before you answered that question.. I already knew.. Vifes idea. 😂

I went from being into bodybuilding for over 10 years and being in the gym 6 times a week to cycling. I really have to prioritise going to the gym at least 3 times a week now to stay strong and balanced. I enjoy cycling a lot more then being at the gym these days. But its something thats taken me a good couple of years to find a balance between the 2 past times and how they both effect my body. I love how much endurance i've gotten from cycling and i don't get tired very often these days but I did notice a serious fall in my strength to the point i felt extremely weak.

Well edited. Yeah man I’m not into pencil arms and a flat chest. Can’t beat a bit of belly lol

... I spotted my old friend, the white Ventral, so everything is good

FUUN Crew! 🤩

I like seeing the day to day challenges your facing moving to a new country and not speaking the language. Good luck man your living the dream!

Every time I watch a vid, I want to ride my bike or get another tattoo

Don’t mind the lack of cycling content. I think this kind of lifestyle video is more interesting or at least adds more variety to your channel.

Sounds like you need to try swimming? ….or Triathlon!!

Yeah, prefer to see you on two wheels 🤙🏻

Can relate to your comments on cycling, i was a 70kg cat 2 racing cyclist and i looked like a 15 year old in the mirror! Some years away from the sport and now a casual cyclist im 89kg, hope to lose a bit tbut overall body fitness is the goal! 👍🏻🚴🏼‍♂️💪🏻

❤

I love the bit about cycling and big legs and small body 🤣🙏🏿

I came accros some Brits living in Spain, young people who are willing to settle in. Brexit is always mentioned as the most stupid, and the self-inflicted harm. Cycling doesn't not delelop felxibility, nor any other upper body muscles. SoI try to stop halfway, and exercise, push ups, and stretch etc

Should've played Padel tbh

Another McNee in the making 😂

for the algo!

Do you like mountain biking or gravel riding, those are so fun too!

You can be the strongest in the group (cycling) but at the street you can look like the weakest person…thin like stroke.. Hybrid athlete is the future for us . Gym/cycling

Not to be too rude but the look of some cyclists upper bodies makes me feel a little ill sometimes😂 with the rolled forward shoulders and stick thin arms You can still be faster than 90% of recreational cyclist's with some upper body muscle and function i think its silly to make yourself a worse human to be a better cyclist..unless you are a pro obviously then you make the sacrifice

I think intro is to long.
