Beautifully stated. Sure, there are some jerks out there, but I've been lucky to find a majority of us are great humans who strive to lift one another up rather than tear one another down. It's almost romantic how people help people in the cycling community; it's a very special thing to witness and experience.

My Italian/French father is turning 90 and has been an avid cyclist as long I can remember. Your grandfather reminded me of him and so I forwarded your doc to him. He loved it so much he asked me if there would be a way for him to reach out and send a personal message to your grandfather. Although he immigrated to Canada when he was 25, he has family in Italy and France and has visited often; it is where his heart is. If there might be a private way for my Dad to reach out, it would be appreciated. I think he found a kindred spirit in your grandfather.

I started cycling when I was 30 years old. And today, at 50 years old, I think it was one of the most beautiful choices I have ever made in my life. The freedom I feel when the wind hits my face, the asphalt runs under my feet and the immense sensation of freedom are things that are difficult to describe. For me, it is one of the greatest pleasures in life that makes life worth living. When I am on my Trek bike, time seems to not exist; it is as if I have gone to another dimension.

Watching your video I appreciated the delicacy in talking about your grandfather and your family and it describes your grandfather's same approach to life: delicacy. I appreciate that the story of the bicycle is only a means of telling your grandfather's story, but at the same time it magnifies his story. A good, positive, smiling person, you can perceive his love for life by looking at his eyes and his smile. Getting on a bicycle, whatever age you are, brings you back to being a child, free and happy. And I got on, metaphorically on a bicycle with him...free and happy. Thanks for telling us about it.

Thanks a lot for the kind words, really appreciate it ☺️🙏

This is an incredible piece of work! Thank you so much to the author, for introducing us to his grandfather - such a wonderful man. Beautifully shot, wonderful people in a beautiful frame. It was very emotional. For some reason while watching, I had the impulse to ride my bike over to this grandfather, give him a hug and thank him for such a beautifully positive experience. It would be a great honour to ride with these guys.

Beautiful movie and a touching tribute to your grandfather. I caught the cycling bug from my father, and it never goes away. I was lucky to make some good memories with him while on the bike. All the best to your nonno, and looking forward to the 100th!

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks for sharing your story and for the kind words!! Hopefully chat to you in 10 years :)

[@RhysCropper]

What a moving film Flo. Alex, Clement, Ams and yourself have captured something truly beautiful, the sheer strength of your grandfather is just wonderful and his passion for riding, exercise and life is admirable. I couldn't help but feel emotional from his words and his outlook on family. "That's the Piovesan family" ... perfect.

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks so much for the kind feedback my man, really means a lot coming from you!! So happy I was able to share his story :)

[@CalgaryToothDoc]

Beautiful story, thank you. I've enjoyed cycling since I was a child - every ride was an adventure. You're Grandfather feels the same way.

[@OfTwoLands]

Thank you for watching!! I felt the same as a kid too :).

[@PaulFoye]

A beautiful story, a persons perspective to what one feels to be a cyclist! To be free, to see the world at your own pace… As a cyclist myself since a child, now in my 50s, I appreciate the benefits cycling provides both physically and mentally… ❤❤

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks for taking the time to watch it and for sharing your story :) !!

[@Bellissimovolere]

Forget all the pros, I’d feel like a lottery winner sharing a ride, conversation and some good food with someone like your Grandfather. To me this is the epitome of what cycling is all about.. lovely film which has inspired me to get back riding…Thank you

[@OfTwoLands]

He would love that too!! Thanks a lot for watching and for the kind words :)

[@JimMakosCom]

I came for the shots, stayed for the story. If you ever decide to discuss the how-to's behind filming this, I'd be more interested in finding out what went on in preproduction and the timing of filming each scene (ie. shooting after/before the interviews, spontaneous shooting of the family gathering, b-roll to add to the story, etc.). Even without a BTS video, this doc has been very helpful and inspiring. Thank you, Florent and the whole Piovesan family! I'm sure you made everyone proud! ✌

[@OfTwoLands]

Thank you for the kind words!! I am currently working on BTS and cinematography breakdown videos where I will share as much as possible about the process of making this doco :)

I love this inspirataional biography of your Papa 💖 An amazing role model. Looking forward to the 100th birthday edition!

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks so much ☺️🙏

[@TimelyAdventure]

Saw your film listed on the BlackMagic site, thought I'd just send to my dad, an older but no near 90 cyclist but I was engrossed from the start. Beautiful, moving, film and loved the VFX. Congratulations on the film and having such a fantastic grandpa!

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks so much for the kind words and for taking the time to watch it!!

[@Meatyowlleg]

J’habite aux États-Unis et j’aime beaucoup l’histoire de votre grand-parent, Benjamin! Je fait du vélo aussi et j’espère continuer comme Monsieur Ben! Félicitations pour votre film, bien fait!

[@OfTwoLands]

Merci beaucoup pour ce retour, ca fait plaisir a lire :) !!

[@davidpancerz5820]

What a beautiful and touching documentary that was wonderfully presented. I'm 64 and would love to ride with Benjamin and his family. He's a delightful soul with kind eyes. And am I allowed to covet his old school bike? No batteries to charge or disc brakes to maintain. Simply hop on and ride, just like when we were kids. Thank you for sharing this lovely content.

[@OfTwoLands]

Thank you for watching, and for the kind words, it means a lot!! And yes, I love his bike too :)

[@maxm1966]

Beautiful portrait and so inspirational! Great tribute to your grandfather… I also discovered road cycling late, but I hope to be cycling until the end ❤

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks so much!! I hope you will too ☺️

[@giansartor]

Benjamin is living my dream. What an amazing human! Thank you for making this and sharing his story.

[@OfTwoLands]

Thank you for watching 🙏

[@panaroamic]

Bro I really liked it from the very first second till the end. You and your crew really put an amazing work here and one can feel it in each frame. The lightning of your portrait shots are incredible. The landscape compositions shows a meticulous attention too. Bravo 👏

[@OfTwoLands]

Thanks a lot for the kind words brO!! Really means a lot coming from you :)
