Күн бұрынThe growth in Cycling is bound to bring about a lot of excitement and innovation. However, as with anything that experiences growth, emphasis is often placed on certain things that really don't matter much toward your enjoyment and effectiveness in the sport.
Today, we uncover four such trends and also talk about the two things that really matter.

Spot on! So much wisdom in one video. I've gone from 180 lbs (overweight) to 143lbs riding weight a long time back (Perhaps underweight). Got super fast, did some centuries. One thing I learned - the faster you get, the fewer friends you have and there's still always someone faster. You may start to leave your old friends behind to ride with the newer, faster group. It gets lonely at the top and I realized these new "friends" weren't really friends at all. They were nice, but not the "have your back" kind of friends. It's so much about the fellowship... I personally like getting folks out riding and excited about the sport. I've put some of that weight back on and have been riding less the last few years. I need to get back into it, just not that extreme, ultra competitive crap. But also true that 2 riders on the same road = race - great quote!

Whew buddy, this comment hits home and has me in my feelings right now lol. Started riding with my best friend. I'm 205 lbs he's the ideal cyclist body at 135-140 lbs. He's surpassed me so much on the climbs because of my weight and is starting to ride with the top local dudes. We still ride but Jesus criminey I can barely keep up the dudes too fast for me anymore. Feel like I'm losing my riding buddy! Just keep on.

When riders aren't matched in fitness, the fast one can ride a slower bike such as a gravel bike with 45mm tires, or one with an internal geared hub like Alfine or Rohloff, a singlespeed, or a flat bar bike with gravel tires. The slower one can ride a fast road bike with deeper wheels if they have that or borrow from the fast one.

@@alonzobattise952 My mother is in her upper 70s and I bought her a low step over bike when she thought it was over. My advice to her was start gradually and build into it slowly. She started one mile twice a week, Tues. and Thurs. Then a month later three times a week, added Sat. with three miles. She rode to hard and had to start over about a month later. After two years she is riding twenty miles a week. Her joint pain has almost disappeared. Key is don't overdo it because it takes a long time to heal over fifty. Stick with it my friend, it will add good years to your life I believe.

You bring up some very good points, and they can save someone's life. There is no place for a sprint on a public highway with traffic in the next lane (3:28)!! EVER! If there's a crash, the pileup can easily spill over into the next lane and an oncoming car will just crush everyone to death. The most important thing you can do in a large group is think about the good safety practices. Learn to see an accident in the making, before it happens. When you see that people are doing dangerous stuff, just drop back and get out of there. If you want to sprint and race hard, sign up for a crit!!

And take your friends with you, sometimes people get so caught up in these things, they don't even realize how insane what's happening actually is. Do it properly, don't endanger other riders, first rule of the game. Be predictable in public traffic. Also the first rule of the game because there is no freaking substitute for common sense and adhering to best traffic practices. No glory in watching the Giro from a wheelchair.

Awesome video totally agree with everything. Cycling has become the new middle-age middle-class sport where you can show off your gear and the money you spent on it. The club I ride in has better gear than the Tour de France. They laugh about me and my Aluminum bike. Their obsession with weight and aero is absolutely hilarious though themselves they are 220 lbs. One guy last time showed up in "aero socks". Now they all have aero socks :D.
@thomasf.9869 11 ай бұрын
On the issue of clothes, the main things are being 1) comfortable and 2) safe (in terms of visibility and crash protection). You don't need the most expensive kit to achieve these. Personally I mix and match. I cheap out in the summer but go all in for good winter gear. Some of the more expensive gear only makes sense under certain circumstances. For example I would only buy photo chromatic lenses if I were riding frequently at dawn or dusk. One need not buy an expensive brand such as Oakley. As long as the glasses are made out of polycarbonate it will be just as safe in a crash.

Yes. we remember that "great' day on the bike or a 'bad' day on the bike, but many other things or accomplishments on the bike get forgotten over time. The memories of meeting new people or riding partners are something that can last for a lifetime.Thanks for sharing!!

The riding is beautiful though, and the exact opposite of Florida in that the climbs are many and very steep!

Love that you get emotional over seeing person to person connection. In these harder and darker times that we have all been going through (in the technologically saturated era we are in), tech has surely connected us in some ways, but in a lot of ways it has shattered our ability to have meaningful interactions. So I feel you on seeing things like that happen organically. It's almost like witnessing a miracle before your eyes that technology has blinded us to. Riiiide on, Cheers.

I get your points, but part of cosmetic bike upgrades and fancy clothing is mental. When you look good, you feel good, and when you feel good, you ride good! Also sometimes when you feel your motivation to ride trailing off sometimes a new snazzy piece of kit will get you back on the saddle and restore your motivation! Also about long rides, I think it's good for your mind, body, and soul to go out on an absolute crusher of a ride occasionally, something that you don't think you can accomplish and leaves you tired and sore for a week afterwards. It builds character and mental fortitude, and shows you that you are stronger than you think.

Very interesting.... For me, cycling is and always has been a solo activity. Since childhood. When our kids were still kids, I used to ride somewhere with one, two or all three of them... When they were teens, I rode sometimes with one or another of them to a more distant destination. But they are family and family is family. Usually, I like to ride alone. Somehow, that is what it is about.

Riding in a country where cyclists garner huge respect on the road is such a pleasure. Rode back to Cullera solo - into a headwind lol. 🚴🏾

So don't foget about the other guys out on their trials bikes.

Hi excellent points & who cant appreciate wisdom and an honest heart . I am a former roadie but after 2 kids, cancer, bone marrow transplant a few years ago, I am back on doing daily rides on a fat tire bike down a series of small bike paths that led to the US1 Busway to Homestead and back alone. (Lights in front and back for safety) I completed a charity for Leukemia back in June and rode 185 miles and raised $180 that was a turning point for me, and I have steadily been adding more rides with varied intensity almost daily. I am still far from my all time best shape, but at my age at almost 50 every time i complete a small 10 Mile ride by myself I feel happy about myself and for a long while that was impossible. I never thought that going just 17MPH could feel fast, but every push forward is a victory So cheers to you and your channel, as a South Floridian I look forward to seeing more. SUBBED

This year was the first year I rode outside of south florida, first to Lake Tahoe which allowed me to experience climbing at elevation and bombing decents. Then I went to Las Vegas to do some mountain riding in the desert. Each palce not only did I have a diffent riding experience but also exposure to different riding cultures. I met awesome people that ride different bikes more suited to their environments.

As I got older I gave up a lot of stuff I used to believe in cycling. I'm 53 now, I don't get out as often anymore and I'm not as fast as I used to be nor was I ever really that fast to begin with. I gave up group riding because it was filled with a bunch of over-biked old guys on $10K+ bikes who wished they were racers and made things dangerous. Heck, I was one of those guys but I no longer wanted to be. I stopped killing myself and worrying about the numbers: watts, speed, distance, power, weight and just started enjoying the ride itself, taking in the sights and appreciating where I am. I ditched my race bikes and replaced them with all-road setups, some carbon and some steel. I'm finding I'm enjoying cycling again like when I first started as a teen. It's more of an escape than a hammer fest. Shorter, slower rides, sometimes with people, sometimes solo, but all a lot more pleasurable once I let go of the competitive aspect of it. Let's face it, we're not all racers and we're not all training for something, so why kill yourself pretending. It's still tough to be passed up and not want to grab a wheel and/or pass them but I'm getting better at it.

Another banger Luis, it’s perfectly ok to get emotional about something good. Bringing love, fellowship and people together is a beautiful thing. Hope to get to ride with you one day soon! Greg, Atlanta GA.

I appreciate you man. That last piece on the human connection hits me as well. I’ve met some genuinely great human beings through cycling and that to me has been the most valuable reward I could ever get. I’m a young father and I’ve met older cats who have been where I am in life and passed words of wisdom down. I’ve met young and old professionals of various industries who have expanded my network, all while sharing a level of positivity that folks just don’t understand or appreciate until they experience it themselves. Take care and next time I’m in FL I hope to ride with you and your crew!!

With almost 50 years of cycling in my legs, I whole heartedly agree. By the way, you don't need to worry about occasional red meat. It's not going to kill you😊. Processed foods, meat and otherwise, are amazing endurance reducers. All the best.

Great video Luis and I can relate to all the comments and observations you provide. As an aging rider, I have found myself guilty of being single-minded about hanging with the A group and not connecting with my riding friends in fellowship. It's a work in progress but something I need to address to help me become a better cyclist. Be safe out there.

Don’t be sorry. That meant a lot to me, seeing the humanity of a cyclist is special. I say that because I’ve been riding, and enjoying the QOMs and sprints. Then when I got diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, I felt I was left behind. I can barely walk properly let alone ride. I got caught up in all the things you mentioned in the beginning of the video, and I promised myself when I do get back I would take the time to enjoy the ride, pace myself and not focus on unimportant things. It’s a privilege to ride and enjoy the outdoors it’s more than the sprints. this was a really good video ❤

Thanks for the video, which is insightful as always. As you look to address your health, please also consider your emotional health. It is a completely human thing to have an emotional response to connecting people, being a node for connection (In the grand scheme of things, we're all babies!). Lean into that feeling. Nurture it. We need more attention the role of emotional intelligence in the practice of being human, as it key to our progress towards understanding everyone belongs and taking up the work to make it so.
