Pushing Limits Climbing Mountains with a Fixed Gear | Cielos Infernales Bogota

I had the honor of riding with hundreds of incredibly strong cyclists in Bogota this winter. We tackled Guadalupe, Cuchilla, Yerbabuena, and Patios on our track bikes. It was one of the hardest things I've ever quit ;) it definitely didn't help that I got very sick. The views were amazing though! Huge thanks to Camilo for capturing it. Thanks to Aventon and Red Bull for making this video possible. And congrats to everyone who finished!!

Tuve el honor de montar con cientos de ciclistas increíblemente fuertes en Bogotá este invierno. Abordamos Guadalupe, Cuchilla, Yerbabuena, y Patios en nuestras bicicletas de pista. Fue una de las cosas más difíciles que he dejado;) definitivamente no ayudó que me enfermé mucho. Las vistas eran increíbles! Muchas gracias a Camilo por capturarlo. Y felicidades a todos los que terminaron !!

I felt a great disturbance in the force, as if millions of knee-joints suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced =)

Poor Obi Wan😔

[@smaish]

THANK YOU for making videos that talk about pushing the limits and overcoming struggle thru action no matter how slow or fast. Count me in for next year's race for #TeamNonstop!

[@afsmpur1]

One of the hardest races I have ever done. I stopped shy of the last climb, Patios, 12 hours and 90 miles into it, exhausted, with altitude sickness and shivering from the cold. Great experience, and definitely one of my best failures. PS: If you live at sea level, on an island, you´re going to have a hard time climbing 12,000ft on a fixed gear bike.

OMG, I am so glad I ran into your channel. I am from Bogota and currently live in the Netherlands. I want to become fitter and finding your channel is the first step!! thanks!!!

[@yeyitomenoscero]

Been waiting for this for a long time! you are a great example of humbleness and strenghth I love how you give it all! our altitude is ridiculous in Bogotá so you re right in your blog, should've taken more time to adjust!! and how could you reject a delicious piece of bocadillo??? hahahha just kidding! awesome video! just awesome!

[@jeffpunz5337]

This makes me want to learn about getting into fixed gear races/challenges now

[@MrFindX]

This video is so cinematic

[@marianm1456]

you are an inspirational level of bad ass

[@MrEVERFIRE]

Unos duros ! En un futuro no lejano van a ser exciclistas , las rodillas quedaron al 10% de su vida útil .

[@AlonzoLuceroSalazar]

Love these foreign-made videos. Keep up the good work!

[@DavidRodriguez-uq9wy]

[@CRoWyaofPh7]

Buena por el video KymNonStop. Tábogo D.C.

[@Ryan_Rides]

I saw someone had the same bike as mine. Aventon Matarow Low. This is motivation for me to ride more and more. This is the level of riding I want to be in/compete in. I might be 25 years old and only been riding track bikes for 3 years but I know what I have what it takes to push myself and get there and ride my heart out... and have fun doing it! You're awesome Kym!

[@gabishorizons4018]

Thank you so much for taking us on these incredible journeys with you. They are truly awe inspiring and things that I'd never get to see otherwise. I really appreciate being able to feel like I'm a part of it through you.

[@FappiWoT]

[@PALAAAA]

[@forhesolovedtheworld]

[@guypolson]

Really good vlog

[@jybarr04]

Awesome video Kym!

[@alexscott5441]

AWESOME!

[@MashupAT]

my knees hurt just watching this

[@daviseabragrossi9161]

Me watching this guy 2:00: WOOOOOOOOOHHHHAAAA

[@daviseabragrossi9161]

The buseta was pretty damn close

[@josemorenoporras7506]

Ridding my DH bike in the Alps touching 3000 meters for a few minutes and it was very noticeable while ridding. Very uncomfortable feeling,very exhausting ridding. That is crazy on an SS bike!

[@liamjohnny335]

Awesome u xx

[@cristiancastiblanco7683]

yeeeees finally, great video

[@eraminta9285]

I do really like you message!

[@sanchepito03]

great edit!!

[@Kofi.86]

that's awesome

[@mrbarbarossa8203]

Wow

[@Laura02luque]

espero que te gustará mi país 👍😆😆

[@westcoastkirsty]

KymNonStop you rock girl. How the heck to you descend on a fixie with no brakes? Totally nuts!

[@christianmendoza8107]

If there are no sharp turns and if the descent is not too deep you can do it without big problems. Not the greatest feeling tho

[@BruceDouglass]

You know, that's why god made gears, right?

[@christianmendoza8107]

Who cares, more challange=more fun

[@zaddamploi]

Tough and rough

[@jonesy3497]

Good effort lady

[@Ken419_]

Finally 🔥

[@theakh4238]

I single speed MTB. I am about 200lbs. People tell me all the time how much faster I would be with gears. My only response is, "you're missing the point".

[@pedrozimon]

you´re

[@numbaoneg101]

Less can go wrong and it’s about overcoming the challenge as well.

[@faprei2732]

I see some with front breaks wc is good for mountains. Some are really good riding without it

[@numbaoneg101]

Highly recommended. The descents are probably insane.

[@h-dfire7379]

😘😘😘😘🏁🏁😘😘🍻✌️

[@jawarablake]

My knees hurt thinking about that climb. Who do you use for tires?

[@oldblue1346]

yo si quiero montar bici toda la vida y necesito mis meniscos para eso !! bien por los fijos y sus dolores de rodilla

[@Spiraculumvitae]

Cierto? A mi me duelen las rodillitas solo de ver esa masacre de articulaciones

[@delberthaman9603]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@assortedexorcist2645]

Feels like hell

[@KymNonStop]

pretty accurate

[@ChenChen-bl9po]

Rip knees

[@bgbg418]

So if you "brake" on a fixed gear bike is it literally just either on or off? Or is there a way to apply varying degrees of "braking" with your feet?

[@glennoc8585]

The altitude is a killer if you aren't acclimatized or your body just doesn't adapt to low oxygen altitudes. I'd only do an event like that if i could use a flip flop hub so i could single freewheel and run at least a front brake.

[@peenoiserealmvloggandchann1425]

Kym non stop try kaybiang tunnel in naic cavite in philippines.

[@F1n1337]

Hows the new cordoba vs your diamond? Think im still getting a mataro low but just curious.

[@sandylucker7717]

is it a breakless strict race or are breaks allowed

[@natsax6351]

😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

[@braeiti]

Which ratio did u use? :)

[@LiMoNiZeR]

How are fixies bad for your knees? Can someone explain this?

[@M3diaConsumer]

Mikolaj Biernacki They can be bad for your knees because slower speed on a fixie results in greater torque on the knee joint. You can see in this video how low the average rpm is (except on the downhill)

[@juantorquemada9713]

did ever watch a German gal in Bogota climbing easily Mangomama her channel

[@OliverPickard]

what gearing did you use?

[@TomCoppell]

KymNonStop what ratio do you use for races on the flat, like hook crit?

[@OliverPickard]

Kym your are a beast

[@TomCoppell]

Oliver Pickard Kymnonstop is insane but in an awesome way!

[@donrelativo360]

you need training for next "cielos internales"

[@cowboychris88]

how can I give you MORE LIKES?

[@BenLubin]

I don't really get it, but whatever floats your boat. If you wanna destroy your legs, this is a good way to do it.

[@christianmendoza8107]

I thinks it's pretty easy to get it. Imagine the satisfaction after all this pain. No cheating, your legs are your fucking gears

[@ahldrin3007]

what is the top speed of a fixie bike?

[@M3diaConsumer]

Ahldrin Alarcon You mean on flat ground? Because that would depend on the gear ratio of the bike. Downhill I think you can pretty much go as fast as you want if you put your feet up on the frame. Higher speed would just result in higher rpm from the pedal

[@diegodroghetti2594]

Why is there a guy wearing a full face helmet?????

[@glennoc8585]

The safety conscious one

[@IndianPolishMix]

Music?

[@KymNonStop]

all songs are listed in the end credits.

[@TheJuancozelda]

Did you know that in this race a runner died from an accident?

[@mehrankhan-xv2sf]

cycling vids for beginners

[@ArielZab]

You said the first female but not the first male lol

[@timeistimed3822]

I lost respect for all the riders when i saw a guy rocking flat bars. O yeah and if you watch this video again no soul is rocking bull horns.its clearly looks over functionally for this race.

[@KymNonStop]

flat bars are the best. have you climbed fixed??

[@hamburguesaSINcorazon]

Nope, bullhorns are the way to go when climbing.

[@timeistimed3822]

Yes you are right but Lets not ignore the fact that flats only have one ride position. lets not ignore the fact that you didn't choose flat bars lets not ignore the fact that bull horns were a gift from the hill gods. lets not ignore the fact that comfort has to be consider in a race that is longer than a episode of the walking dead.

[@bb3866]

TimeisTimed Wide flats and risers are great for climbing.

[@17MrRammstein]

1:15 brake on a fixed? WTF

[@yosephog5509]

IVAN ANTONIO OVALLE BARAJAS youre a hater so do I have one

[@jared1932]

Dumbass it is for emergency
