What is Ridefest? - Not your Typical Cycling Club

[@justinbrown471]

F Cade you are probably the only person trying to raise awareness of cycling across varied demographics and races by making videos and sharing them on your KZbin platform, respect to you!

[@louxloux59]

Absolute breath of fresh air. These ladies are so happy to be riding their bikes and being part of such a fabulous club. Excellent video 👍🏻

[@alansheard553]

What a 'Breath of fresh air' such enthusiasm , just shows cycling is for everyone.

[@d415ym1rabel]

Proud of you sair! Awesome to see these guys on the videos, inspirational!

[@quintonvance3807]

You did something special with this one! I love cycling so much and this vision of an inclusive and welcoming community is so special. Keep shining the light.

[@jvlian_r]

This is so cool. One initiative that hopefully can be replicated in every country. Here in Colombia black cyclists are practically inexistent.

[@etherealdreams7936]

It's my dream to cycle in Colombia.

[@old0range]

Can I just say, love the video! I love what you're showing and to see the diversity in this sport (from what media would normally show) - is just awesome. Also - awesome shots - your cinematography is really great!

[@elmerrichardson6413]

As a black rider, this was again really refreshing to see, given the racial unrest we've been dealing with lately here in the US. Keep showing us that all people can enjoy each other in different ways. You take cycling to another level with vids like this. Keep riding, can't wait to see your next adventure.

[@Cade_Media]

👊👊

[@leebert7624]

Good to see Lisa , fellow member of Haverhill cycling club and she has a very nice bike

[@adamsultan4723]

Great stuff highlighting diversity within cycling! Keep up the inspirational work!

[@CanyonWanderer]

What a lovely group of people! Being open-minded and open-hearted does so much good.

[@samuelkmaina]

Your promotion of these black and women cycling clubs is very highly appreciated.

[@sthompy8451]

Genuinely best thing I’ve seen in a long, long time. Thank you. 😃🙏🏽

[@Jim-ub9qy]

Epic video Francis! What I loved about each of them was their comment of inclusion. Sometimes cyclist can be a bit intimidating but it appears that this group is all about making you feel part of the group and helping you belong to something great. What a fantastic group. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@Big2Planker]

Awesome. We need more clubs like this. Thanks for the great perspectives from the ladies.

[@rodcosta3603]

Excellent....things are heading in the right direction 👌🏻💥 Once again, lovely people. 😊

[@monrezee]

Right on Francis. Thanks for introducing us to some cool riders.

[@marksmith566]

Awesome video with a very positive message, very nicely done Francis 👍

[@ryaneverett8891]

Awsome video, once again Francis! Great to hear the stories of how cyclists get into the sport. It’s great that clubs such as ride fest exist to encourage women and black ethnic minority groups to cycle. As a white male, it’s not an issue that you ever really consider when getting into the sport about being accepted. But great to hear about ride fest and I really hope they are able to expand and open more groups across the country (now more than ever) I’m going to post on my Instagram story and feed about ride fest today in the hope it encourages more people to get out cycling 👍🏼

[@Cade_Media]

thanks Ryan!

[@SteveBrill]

Another great video Francis. It’s brilliant the way you highlight different aspects of what can be considered an elite sport. Keep them coming.

[@Zenakuu14]

These videos of minority cycling is the deeper part of the background in cycling which is amazing to hear and see from me being in the US. The only reason why I love this sport which I've been doing solo for 5 years now, not for just exercise to lose weight etc but the fact when you ride, you forget about the rest of the world and your outside smiling and enjoying the moment in time. As an American and where I live, cycling is not popular nor do we have dedicated roads for cyclist, I really enjoy watching and listening to your videos Francis, been a follower for a couple of years now. I wouldn't say I sit a round watching videos like this to help reinforce my motivation for the sport and community, but the fact that cycling is changing a culture thousands of miles from where I live, which is amazing and I love it. I was in London last year in November, I plan to go back and hope I can meet you and the rest of the other minority cyclist one day, I'll plan on bringing my bike this time. Cheers mate and thanks for covering these amazing contents because for new riders, this for sure broadens the horizons that anyone can come into this sport for what ever reason you choose to do so. P.S. Keep Daisy in check with baking more cookies, she slacking!

[@Cade_Media]

thanks for the kind words, really appreciate you watching!

[@MatthewSelkirkKey]

super positive video, great to see these ladies love what they they do, a great advertisement for diversity and cycling in general 💖

[@brianlathan2465]

Quality as always Francis , what a brilliant cycling bunch they were , as my daughter lives in London I did a loop around London last Sunday morning & absolutely loved it , only problem is I live 300 miles away up North so these capital rides are a real treat 🚴👍

[@alifecycles]

Hey Francis, super good as always. The difference with you mate is that you are honest and sincere. Bringing cycling to real people for the right reasons. Thanks a million m

[@mattybar]

Awesome way of showing what they’re all about. Important to share what a cool group

[@Chiro75]

Love this club and these riders. What a great group!

[@ryanr.a.f2052]

I found this video very heart warming! Love the video!

[@bb96kjl]

Personally, I really appreciate your raising of awareness and inclusiveness of a more diverse group of cyclists. Great video, much respect from my bike packing tour in New Zealand.

[@RaceJan]

Such positive vibes.. cool!

[@dvs70]

You're content keeps getting better and better. I'm glad to have found your channel.

[@Cade_Media]

Thanks Jeffrey, appreciate the support!

[@letsluc787]

It would be nice to see something similar in South Africa, great video and insight👍🏽, love it

[@lookrider3845]

Wow being a cyclists of color this great to see go Girl Power and really great Video!😎🚴🚴🚴

[@VelhaGuardaTricolor]

I remember when I lived in Tottenham and went cycling to Richmond Park and back on a Sunday with my wife through central London. I miss cycling in London!

[@RLPphotography98]

Great video Francis. Top notch as usual. And thanks for the exposure. Richard.

[@julienbouillot6960]

Thank you Francis for everything that you do. You use cycling unify people to promote awareness on so many different topics and it is ver refreshing. You have created a sense of community that I have not seen with other channels. Thank you!

[@Cade_Media]

thanks Julien!

[@felixjackson2670]

Brilliant. Just ride the bike. Life’s too short to care what anyone thinks,ignorant comments,don’t be a sheep ,be human and enjoy the brilliant social interaction,not to mention good health and a unique way to appreciate being outdoors and alive. Great to see these ladies enjoying such a wonderful sport/pastime.

[@hedleywilliams392]

This is great to see, over the years I've rock climbed, hill walked, shot archery and now cycle and I've seen the popularity grow and more diverse groups become the norm. Ride fest look like they are having the best time. Thanks for sharing

[@bonskieur5558]

Cyclists and skiers, what more could you want? Looks a like a great group of people, and loving Lisa's Colnago! Ride on Ridefest!

[@cameronloggenberg937]

Love the idea of the group of people. Love the fact that no one is made to feel unwelcome no matter how slow they May be.

[@polthomaskeeley7860]

Fantastic. Love the vibe. Greets from Jersey City, NJ.

[@JeffOehlsen]

Absolutely fantastic. I love to hear people's stories about how they started riding. We are all the same, but different. Those smiles though. How awesome is that ? You are so lucky to meet them all !

[@donjagoe]

Just brilliant. One of the many things I love about cycling is that it becomes a primary form of self-identification. Beyond race, gender, religion or age, one very quickly starts to say, “I’m a Cyclist!” Ridefest seems to be a fantastically inclusive entry into the cycling world. Hope it goes International and keeps growing. Now more than ever.

[@ColdDarkNorth.]

Loved this introduction to Ride Fest - thanks Francis. Will check out the Instagram too

[@PAULPICKLES]

It's great to see people coming together. The group I'm with WKG, are the most diverse and down to earth people. We're from all around the world and only yesterday had a group meet up. The bike in any form is the best communication tool.👍

[@hollyvanbam7955]

Awesome that you're providing more visibility to such a great group. What a brilliant group of women!

[@CycoWarriorx]

Super cool... Great to see this Francis… 🙌🏽

[@thomasflunker2458]

Cade...as is typical, another excellent video. Sometimes just fun, sometimes challenging pervasive mindsets, and sometimes (as in this case) quite informative. Much respect. Keep it up my friend! 🤙🏾

[@CritWhitTV]

Francis, one of my favorites. Thx for sharing!!! So amazing!!! 🤝

[@malcontent_1]

Organic. Joyful. Awesome.

[@rohanmandhre44]

Great work by Ridefest. Thank you for covering all such interesting insights

[@wrenpyle7098]

seeing other female cyclists brings me so much joy!!!!!!! thanks for this spotlight francis

[@craighenry7915]

Ridefest looks like a great ride ,with great people.

[@jabbads65]

Bloody awesome, another great video. I've never heard of Ridefest, but I hope they continue to grow. 👍🏾👍🏾

[@markfeldman6509]

Bravo to those ladies! Great group of folks. Hope they expand their group and make new friends.

[@321bytor]

Great stuff. Really good to see more people cycling, diversity is strength

[@domestique3954]

321bytor „diversity is strength“ 👌. 🤙

[@Monarchy0115]

Great to see so much diversity in a club.

[@TheStoryBoxes]

Mannnnn I love cycling! It would solve half of the worlds problems if we just cycled. I too have just started cycling and I love the simple things like a wave going by. The motto going forward is “just bike it”. Apply this to a stressful day etc. Keep going all

[@legslloyd6701]

Excellent work as per usual always coming up with excellent relevant content. it was great to meet you on Saturday

[@Cade_Media]

👊👊👊

[@kevinfc3976]

I like how your videos start

[@shanew634]

Francis, really enjoyed this video! Great to see such inclusion plus they’ve got some serious kit and bikes.👍

[@jermainepostlethwaite7895]

Love this! ❤

[@stephendailey3108]

Great content as always Francis

[@framedman]

And that's three recent ones for me as a diabetic mixed cyclist, who used to be an old school pushbike courier in London back in the mid 2000s but have still never felt fully accepted on the roads. So this is good to highlight.

[@dominicward3523]

Great video. People who just like riding bikes 👏👏👏

[@garethwilliams4995]

Mate awesome stuff we need something like that down under 👍👌

[@nickbuchanan5927]

Wicked Vid thanks for putting theses women out there to show the world that cycling is for all

[@shirlapoole2174]

Thats so nice of you to say so😆

[@TheMaximumCool]

wow what lovely people; wonderful group. I hope they can grow even bigger. Love it!

[@UPS1000]

Great video. Nice surprise to see a weekend video.

[@nkelsall]

You .... YOU ... are a true gem 💎 Thank you for promoting diversity and inclusion 🙌🙌

[@framedman]

Another great video highlighting some important and positive cycling stories. Keep it up.

[@elmccor6298]

What incredible people!!!

[@anar7318]

As a black cyclist I must say I LOVE THIS !! We need more black cyclist groups, especially women!!!! I’ll definitely get involved 🙌🏽

[@ParkerJimmyx]

Love seeing this

[@SanSanmarcos1977]

hoahhhh this is sooooooooo cool Francis. love it so mutch mate, great eddit

[@ivanb___2217]

Cade Kills. There also is a group called BLACK GIRLS DO BIKE here in the States. There may be a UK chapter as well. Ride Fest RIDE ON!

[@joangregg4378]

Love the video. I may be silly but I do get excited when I see people of color riding high end bikes. Sports shouldn't have a color attached to it but it does. So let's break the color barrier!

[@qwerty123456789048]

Thank you Francis for sharing. The more inclusive cycling can be the better 👍♥️

[@justinbrown471]

One race, human race!

[@markjthomson]

Superb! More people in cycling! Yes... regardless of colour or gender! Great form.

[@theademerckxfiles9967]

Brilliant ❤️ Brilliant ❤️Brilliant ❤️

[@bbanga5542]

Great video Francis. What a cool group Ridefest is. I got into road cycling whilst I was on a long work assignment in Houston, and I was surprised that the group I rode with there, from the Lifetime Fitness Health club, was so multi racial. But having returned to the UK, I am surprised at how few ethnic minority riders, like myself, are out on bikes. I must check out Ridefest.#BLM

[@nevillellewellyn8101]

TOTALLY INSPIRATIONAL :-)

[@Wild1920]

Brilliant show.

[@bigboss-Miami]

Absolutely love this!!!

[@hughgrainger3766]

Fantastic vibes.

[@colinlowrance5434]

This video is so awesome!!

[@robton007]

Thanks really enjoyed that

[@stuartpotter4923]

This is awesome... Lack of diversity in cycling is a well known issue, so it's brilliant to see this kind of thing happening. Love it.

[@lucy7594]

This is wonderful ❤️, if you like cycling just DO IT. Well done ladies 💪❤️

[@ianboylan91]

Brilliant 👌

[@markl2815]

Excellent. What great people too. Radiant with positivity and happiness ... made me a less grumpy git by just watching. I hardly ever now miss a Cadecast... maybe that’s a sign I should move out more :-) I do identify with the “don’t look like ...” part, not because of colour or race but because I’m not built like the archetypal “cyclist” so I got a few comments which weren’t so positive when I visited the U.K. not here in France though. Sod em. Good one mr Cade

[@bigbenji6]

Powerful stuff

[@eldominici3732]

Nice to see women cycling together, wish they would do the same in my area .... maybe one day ... Great Video ... 👍🏽✌🏽

[@Alex-bh4um]

Might build a Ridefest in Auckland NZ !!

[@tommek1979]

Great people, great video :)

[@markl2815]

Quick heads up ... tell daisy to expect a delivery at Giro on Tuesday in your name Long promised stalker beers ... I got some customers so you should feel the benefit ... Didn’t have to come to the UK to deliver and also didn’t have to camp outside your place chanting your name either ... which is probably good Enjoy mate and thanks for getting me in part through lockdown

[@Cade_Media]

😯 no worries at all! Thank you for watching, it means a huge amount!

[@SamHulse]

What is ridefest that is a good question I guess I am about to find out

[@martindaly8683]

You go girls

[@ciclomass]

yo thats awesome!!!!

[@sandraray8298]

I was thinking of getting bike and what kind of bike should I get. This looks so interesting
