[@bikeradar]

What do you think about our gravel adventure? Maybe you've been on your own bikepacking trip? Let us know in the comments! 🏕 🚲

[@K1989L]

No mudguards? You guys really like to punish yourselves.

[@bikeradar]

@@K1989L The Tour de Fer I was riding has full length mudguards, a rack and a full dynamo light set! I was very happy with that 🌞 Thanks for watching, Felix.

[@K1989L]

@@bikeradar I noticed that just after I wrote my comment 😅

[@erikkraai1533]

Great to see another video from BikeRadar Diaries. There seems to be some great trails in your area, hopefully more gravel adventure videos are in the future!

[@bikeradar]

Thanks for watching! Great to hear you enjoy the series, we have some great ideas for future episodes in the pipeline! - Felix

[@TheMurmuringGolem]

Yes! Love the adventure videos you guys do. Reminds me why I like cycling and it's always a laugh. Hope to see more in the future :)

[@bikeradar]

We love to hear this!! Thanks for watching, BikeRadar Diaries will return...

[@ysllsy6624]

The old school Mapei hat is definitely a fashion icon

[@buzzman4860]

Very Niiice! Jack makes party on a bike.for the lads.

[@matprlz]

I see why the industry is making big bets on the Gravel category. It just looks / is fun!

[@jonathanho4272]

"Jack's just loaded me up with his. Now I'm about to put mine in as well"

[@davehenderson5585]

Haha. Should have expected this from someone with the name Ho

[@mohameddzuk9981]

i love outdoor bike traveling.very good💪

[@dennisstempher9684]

Damn you BikeRadar! Now I need to have a purple/pink bike too!

[@pavlovzdog]

Loaded up with quiche! Words I never thought I'd hear anyone say... Ever!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@nigelstanley3674]

Great vid. Looks like a lot of fun!

[@ClaireSharpeCreates]

Great video. Love the route and always cool to see different luggage set ups. If you want to show how anyone can enjoy a bike packing adventure you could try inviting a female cyclist. There's plenty of us gravel loving lasses to hit up in Bristol. 👍

[@chazpilks]

Jack...F, f, f, f, f, fa, fa, fa, fa, fashion :) Digging those co-ordinations

[@sashamagee6227]

I was convinced “I’m gonna go say hi to the chickens” was a euphemism. The bikes are all pretty rad but the paint job on Jacks is amazing.

[@biketrybe7071]

Good fun, boys. Exactly what adventure cycling should be. Thanks for the video.

[@bikeradar]

And thanks for watching! From all at BikeRadar ⭐️

[@themountainnetwork]

Can't wait for our next adventre!

[@Wolfman1250s]

Awesome stuff lads 👍 I did my first overnight bike packing trip on my MTB a few weeks ago, loved it. Though I took the soft option and stayed in a hotel 😁

[@robertsmme]

These are so good.

[@Avioto]

Ordered a gravel bike months ago, still waiting for it to arrive. Thanks a lot for making the wait even more unbearable guys!

[@bikeradar]

We hope the wait is over soon, thanks for watching!

[@chrislilley5320]

Yes looked like loads of fun!!

[@bikeradar]

It was!! Thanks for watching, from all at BikeRadar ⭐️

[@jacqueschiron4035]

My last road bike was purple, my new one is pink. I think it's only right that my next gravel bike should be both. Sweet socks. Pink is where it's at!

[@nealewalker3938]

Ordered a CDF 40 from my local shop but not due until June 2021 😏 Scotland’s hills and mountains await!

[@wouter4739]

Thinking about doing this with a friend this summer on my XC bike! Would be sickk

[@bikeradar]

We definitely recommend it! Felix has some top tips for bikepacking → kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWW6qHioiruoorM

[@lukesnape4206]

I think joe needs to come back

[@thegumball5000]

And Reuben. And the american.

[@lukesnape4206]

@Andrew Dwyer yeah mate I agree just feels awkward now.

[@statictree30]

Yes was thinking the exact same thing

[@St1ff]

where is joe?

[@Montblanc1986]

In the states people are using XC and trail bikes to do some gnarly trails like Colorado trail bike packing style

[@bikeradar]

BikeRadar loves the idea of bikepacking the Colorado Trail! Maybe one day...

[@paulim8703]

Those Brockley Stores quiches are fab, I'm sure you enjoyed them. Hopefully you managed to quench your millennial thirst there too, as the coffee's just as good! Again, love seeing the fun you have on familiar roads.

[@bikeradar]

Hi Pauli, thanks for your comment! They sure are the perfect mid ride snack. Glad to you enjoyed the video, from all at BikeRadar!

[@Ey_up]

Genesis Vagabond territory, that! You under-bikers, you!

[@letsgocamping88]

I love my genesis CDF

[@cmarrioh]

As a Bristol native, I recognise a lot of it but it would be great if you could share the route!

[@ashleyjohnson5688]

Ah the Crown! The pubbiest pub in the whole world I reckon.

[@h00per1982]

Is there a route file available? I've pieced bits together with some local knowledge but it would good to have the whole thing.

[@freddyem]

Great video guys. I’ve always been put off bikepacking due to my fitness etc, but a little local adventure could be the answer!! I recognise so much of your trip but a Komoot route would be ace?! Please.

[@bikeradar]

Hey Simon, we couldn't recommend small adventures enough! I have been meaning to get this on Komoot for a while, I'll make sure to pin a comment and reply once I finally get round to it! Cheers for watching, Felix

[@freddyem]

@@bikeradar Thanks Felix.

[@andydt82]

Can you share the route on komoot or similar?

[@benbriggs9310]

was there any difference between the bikes and models etc. want to get a touring / gravel bike and love the genesis so would like your views

[@bikeradar]

Hi Ben, thanks for watching! Yes there were quite a few differences. The Tour de Fer really is built perfectly for slower paced touring mostly on tarmac, whereas both the other models are suited to off road, muddier trails. They're fine to ride on the road too and are slightly lighter. I would recommend the gravel bikes if you want to do more lightweight bikepacking, rather than full touring mode. Cheers, Felix

[@benbriggs9310]

@@bikeradar Hi Thanks a lot of this. I love the look of the Genesis bikes. Is there somewhere where I can look at the big differences between the 2 bikes? I keep looking videos but at the moment think i prefer the fugio but as an entry bike looking at the 10. what are your thoughts? or is there not much difference between them both? also i see people say that they are sized larger than usual. i am usually a 56cm road bike or large mountain bike. would you still recommend a large in the genesis or would a medium work?

[@jonserdne943]

What a wholesome adventure, nice one boys. What’s the blue long sleeve jersey Felix has on?

[@bikeradar]

Thanks for watching! It was a whole lot of fun! Felix's long sleeve number is the PEARL iZUMi Attack Thermal Jersey in teal → www.freewheel.co.uk/pearl-izumi-men-s-attack-thermal-jersey-varm119

[@Usulovski]

At 15:04 I see some nice Pear Izumi blue jacket? Does anyone know which model is it?

[@mac16a]

Tour De Fer has that awesome vintage look but it's so expensive :(

[@PiquePictures]

I’m definitely looking forward to having some overnight bike packing adventures next summer in Canada! Thanks for the inspiration! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Fun!!!!!

[@scotchgod8478]

I didn't know Genesis were also making bikes. Do they come with an autograph of Phil Collins?

[@AbiShafi]

I’m a golden oldie who’s going to buy a Cube Road bike next year when it comes out however I have a question about gravel bikes, after an epic ride like the one you’ve just done what state are the wheels in (do they need rebuilding) or indeed the rest of the bikes?

[@bikeradar]

The wheels handled some fairly hefty rocks with no problems, despite Felix pinch flatting his rear tyre! All 3 of these bikes are built to withstand a much harder life than your normal road bike gets. Thanks for watching! From all at BikeRadar.

[@AbiShafi]

@@bikeradar Thanks all 😎😎😎

[@Ditypo]

are mudguards not cool on gravel bikes? you, your bike and bags get all muddy without them!

[@74ripstar]

Seasoned gravel veteran!? Ive got underpants older than him, how can he be seasoned or a veteran?

[@bikeradar]

I'm sure Felix will be flattered with that comment! We intended this comment to be fairly tongue-in-cheek. Thanks for watching!

[@trevornichol6913]

I have actually hit two squirrels on a local trail

[@nikolour]

so many ads in a video that already is a commercial. oh cmon

[@LegSpinna]

'Real men don't eat quiche'.

[@Smegma_pirate]

Lol gravel bikes … mountain bikes for spandex ding dongs

[@JogBird]

all of these bikepacking videos show ppl cycling so wrecklessly... like its a race or something rather

[@KOL630]

Looked like they were all taking it steady to me? 🧐

[@Moosegravy420]

H*mos?
