So great when Bootsy Collins leads the group ride @6:53 especially on Ananda's birthday!!, Happy birthday Ananda!

[@prostandardinc]

Happy Birthday Ananda! Francis, you always amaze me how many ways you use your Grill Mount to shoot such great footage.

[@ElonMuckX]

I predict it, and it happens! Electric Light Parade!!! Always wanted Francis to attend a Bike Party when he was in the Bat Area.

[@maxlloyd3740]

Happy Birthday Ananda! Great video as usual Francis!

[@NeverTooTiredToRideTwoTyres]

the party where people ride around instead of standing with a beer looks soo fun! happy birthday ananda

[@110markb]

Its amazing the lengths some people will go to to avoid the in-laws at Xmas, wish I had thought it LOL. Congrates to you and Justin. Cant wait for the follow up once back in the UK and any plans that Justin may have for his next preferred adventure hand bike.

[@lyndababy]

Happy, happy birthday Ananda 🎉🎇🍦🎂

Mad how much Lucy's accent has changed since moving

[@daniels.2720]

...'murica has a way with doing that sort of thing...

[@iMadrid11]

That happens to anyone who moves. You naturally adopt the accents so locals could understand you.

[@TheBassallyear100]

@@iMadrid11 Americans in the UK - understand every word, no problem. Brits in the US - a ten minute conversation is completely lost because you pronounced garage the English way!

Fun video. I love Lucy’s BlackHeart titanium bike.

Thanks!

[@aaronedgeart]

I lived in LA for two years and had some great local rides, look into the Red Box climb + Mt. Wilson if you are there long enough... bonkers awesome!

[@Whatsthepointingoats]

Lovely little outro with the light parade Francis 🤩

[@malcontent_1]

You need to start a Newcastle version of that _Electric Light Parade_ - you should make Jimmi the Grand Marshall

[@sbreezy0120]

thanks for posting this! I've always wondered how the ride around mulholland drive were like and now I know, cheers! also happy birthday ananda!!

[@leissp1]

Happy Ananda!

[@MrLuigi-oi7gm]

I feel so alone. Like I'm at a party where everyone else knows everyone else. 🤷‍♂️ Where is Justin? Where is Daisy? Where is Francis' mum? Who is Lucy? Who is Ananda? P.S. Lucy and Ananda are so cool and adorable. We've never met and I have no idea who you are, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANANDA!!! 🙌🎉🙌🎉🙌🎉🙌🎉

HAPPPY BIRTHDAY

[@rodney8078]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.!! 'Nanda'!! Hope u enjoyed it!

[@Through_Sams_cam]

Happy birthday Ananda. "ANANDA" is a Nepali word (probably derived from Sanskrit, which means bliss of course) and is pronounced as "aa-nun-dah" rather than like "Amanda" with "n". I think Indian version is Anand.

[@kidkarbon4775]

To answer your question regarding where the 'banks' live assuming this was a Fresh Prince of Bell Air reference. The exterior shots of the family mansion used in the series was of a property located in Brentwood and not a property in Bell Air.

[@CycoWarriorx]

She’s right… there is no essential city center like you’d find in Europe, but there’s K-Town, P-Town, The Westside, etc… in the pseudo “winter” you can spend time at the beach surfing and drive to the snow to snowboard all in the same day… then there’s the valley… I dunno why anyone would want to go there tho… 😂😂😂

[@DC-lu5qs]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANANDA!!!! Nice bike throw Lucy :) Can't wait to see the new tattoo, Francis. Your LA mates are great! Absolute rock stars on camera and clearly enjoying life to the max. I need to find the old videos with them so I can see more of the backstory that your veteran viewers know and get to know them more.

[@redauwg911]

thank you for the video I was having withdrawals

[@MrRundervinkje]

what brand is that striped bike fork of hers? that design is awesome!

[@GordonChaffin]

I was waiting to see if you guys would do Potrero. Better that you don't, frankly. Happy Birthday Ananda!

[@grahambell9831]

A belated all the best to you Francis & Daisy for 2023. A bit of a peruse around LA's countryside & surburbia, post your epic USA charity bike ride 👏. Apologies for not many comments over the closing days of 2 bikes, one wheelchair......my dad passed away just before xmas, so was busy with other committments......it was my dad who got me into biking all those years ago with a 5 speed raleigh olympys road bike. Very happy "start out" days. Keep up your extrodinary work Francis, looking forward to a few Toon vlogs when your back in the North East 👌

[@DC-lu5qs]

Mr. Bell - I saw your comments nearly every day during the epic journey and many more again as I went back through watching older videos in this channel. Wanted to say, I am sorry to read about the passing of your father. Sounds like he was a proper dad.

[@grahambell9831]

@@DC-lu5qs Hello DC Rainmaker. Thank you for your note and kind words. It is appreciated. Yes, my dad loved sport full stop. He got me into sports as a young boy. I choose cycling, running, swimming and golf way back in the 1980's. Its a debt I can never repay, the time selflessly given over to many years of early morning and evening training sessions and competition weekends. As well as being my dad, he was also my best friend and my mentor. A life well lived. Rest in peace dad.

@@grahambell9831 sadly, I'm not DC rainmaker, just some random guy on the internet with the initials DC. I'm so glad you had such a great dad.
