THE MAN WHO CYCLED THE WORLD EP2

[@noahperacciny647]

Perfect quarantine binge

[@zedio369]

Doesn't really seem like he's complaining, so much as he is describing the challenges that he's facing. Anyone who is the first time in a new place will react in some sort of negative way. Nothing new there. But it is an amazing thing that he did, and hats off to him for that, it's pretty inspirational

[@Lee-ib7qe]

But then at the same time, he is was in a very privileged position to be able to do what he did. He should be more appreciative of simple food, despite the quality of it. There are people in some parts of the world who are starving to death, let alone unable to travel the whole planet!

[@matthiasschulze393]

yeah pretty amazing...not only is he doing all the riding and support but also doing all the filming it appears....quite an accomplishment

[@DavidKlausa]

Matthias Schulze Apparently not doing all the filming - what about the shots from far away of him riding?

[@matthiasschulze393]

yes these are great shots...I believe he sets up the camera at a distant point and then rides off into the field of view...then stops circles back and retrieves the camera..which is a lot of work when you start thinking about doing that, but he had plenty of time

[@DavidKlausa]

Matthias Schulze Ah, that could be. But it would be very risky to leave a camera for a few minutes if there are any people nearby, especially since most people are watching this weird foreigner's every move.

[@matthiasschulze393]

Mr Klausa, I agree completely, he may find helpful people along the way to do it for him, but he was alone for the trip

[@JamieRyanAinslie]

There is a credit at the end for another camera man - don't ask me how it's all done though!

[@ala0284]

I love how every selfie video in India just has loads of people staring intently down the camera in the background😂

[@ian-c.01]

It seems impossible, what an athlete !

[@Johnnyhumbkr]

If yazall think these videos are interesting, you should read the book Mark Beamont wrote called"The Man Who Cycled the World". Not only is he an amazing athlete, but a pretty good writer. My cycling helmut is off to this dude!

[@Ally5325]

I read his book too, then left it in Taiwan with my gf, now I am back here, I so want this book again to keep me going through quarantine!!

[@daviesapm]

Eat - Sleep - Cycle - Repeat

[@gentrelane]

Thanks for the upload

[@adityakrishnamalhotra]

FUCKING RESPECT THIS MAN

[@MrTwistyface]

Thanks for posting this! Incredible scenery... imagine riding that distance carrying that lump of a camera?? I wonder how many watts would have been saved if he could have had a GoPro instead... HD would have been incredible.

[@flipballaz93]

in australia he just ate snickers, what a badass

[@RP-pb8lf]

when you take videos and photos of their animals, they want a tip

[@jeffdeathstar4283]

This man is a cycle God!

[@mcleanization1540]

Amazing experience minus the rat droppings 😄

[@MrBusunglueck]

He was just 24 when he startes this. Im 26 now and wouldnt have anywhere near the balls to set off for such a journey.

[@maisetas]

younger people have more energy and is more couragious before they know all the bs going in the life and world. i used to hike 1k in europe when i was 23. wouldnt do anything like that at 29.

[@TheClassicWorld]

@@maisetas Has little to do with age (though 21-24 is the peak for human beings), Mark has done this kind of thing also around age 32, and he has done insanely long rides at ages 12 and 15, as well... lifetime of training, good genetics, and inhuman mentality and mental strength.

[@RealSpaceHobo]

EPIC!

[@Roachan.]

I think what indian guy was saying "baghsis" means "tip" in english. Yeah probably he was asking for money :)

[@METALHEAD4K]

bakshish.... means blessings in money :)

[@Roachan.]

Aryan there is also word in turkish "bahşiş" which spells the same. it means tip. probably the same word ^^

[@METALHEAD4K]

Yeah....almost the same. But here usually bakshish are asked mostly from elders during festive seasons...but few manipulates it and keep asking whenever they wish for :)

[@GreyFawkes0]

I didn't know zoolander rode a bike

[@Vincenthusky]

How does this affect his joints

[@harapila]

Superb

[@thomasucc]

I had a great time in Iran

[@subuchatt]

where is the next part ?

[@CourtingPanic]

Even he avoided Afghanistan.

[@seimela]

your beard grows as you approach Muslim country >>>>>>>nice

[@coachtemba6002]

shand seimela 😂😂😂

[@karunakarpradhan9555]

Did i salute you? well deserve!

[@andrewgills1306]

The focus on hardship rather than on the journey is quite off-putting. Yes, we get that he's a vegetarian - I am at 4:20 and am already tired of hearing it. I know it's part of the experience but there comes a point where you need to be pragmatic. You need to (a) be pragmatic and eat what's available because there are people in some of these countries he's visiting who are starving and (b) he is choosing to cycle around the world - no one is forcing him.

[@ollieglen3024]

"I hardly slept"

[@rfayz733]

There are tons of food about in Ramadan all you needed to do was knock on a door and say your not a Muslim and you need food.

[@ala0284]

In english? They wouldnt understand him...

[@TRKroxas]

Kinda look like paul walker when he reaches India

[@filbertfifa0536]

He looks like mathd gamer with the beard

[@AlmeydaTV]

lol looked better with a beard, what a transformation from man to a kid once he shaved it

[@josephtownshend1972]

***** and did he say he's 24? serious beard for that age!

[@Orgakoyd]

The worst part is through Iran, the country has no cyclists and just doesn't support this sort of thing, the same goes for all the middle east.

[@JojoCrazyCat]

Im a vegetarian. All i eat is pork and beans and beef jerky. Seeing him break his spokes makes me want to switch all my bikes to mag wheels.

[@mishka783]

I really can't believe that he didn't plan his food for the trip. He seems totally unaware of sports nutrition and diet. He could have easily filled up a bag with dried fruits like dates, bananas that would give him lots of carbs to ride on. Just can't believe watching him starving ang riding on biscuits and cholocate. Unbelievable.

[@CourtingPanic]

And what? Carry it across the world. Get a clue.

[@josephtownshend1972]

CourtingPanic obviously not fuck wit, he could stock up as and when he needs.

[@matt99is]

Joseph Townshend He couldn't always "stock up as and when he needs" hence the problem.

[@ollieglen3024]

mishka783 fill your bag with gells

[@robthesamplist]

Yeah as others said you have no clue, 7000 calories a day of dried fruits for just a few days would weigh more than he could ever carry. Many endurance athletes eat junk food on trips like this its the only way to get enough calories so he needs all he can get when he can get it.

[@shaneroberg309]

FULL CARBON FAT BIKES FOOD 4 THOUGHT MARK BEAUMONT FOOD 4 THOUGHT.

[@aurboda]

wut

[@ig2d]

How do you recognise the vegetarian in the room? Don't worry - they'll tell you!

[@Lee-ib7qe]

Ungrateful and up his own ass - Mark complains far too much. He was in a very privileged position to be able to do what he did. He should have been more appreciative of the simple food he had, despite the quality of it. There are people in some parts of the world who are starving to death, let alone unable to travel the whole planet!

[@jadecleveland865]

Form the look of it, his saddle seems a bit too high, that's what might be causing the saddle sores.

[@bwelther9336]

Muslim countries is the main reason im inwilling to cycle around the world. Even though have been thinking about going at least to asia.trouble is there's isnt really any way around the middle east. Russia might be too cold but the only option.

[@assadk7901]

I cycled from Istanbul to Malaysia and it was totally safe. I was with white Americans and French. You'll be surprised how hospitable the middle east is. You just need to have respect and understanding for different culture. It is actually an obligation in Islam to help a traveller and give him help/food.

[@BozoTheBear]

mmmmm... seeping banana....

[@Neemsta359]

R

[@jacketgreatorex]

complaining complaining complaining... why did he do it?

[@Mr71paul71]

Bread, butter, jam, milk and chocolate will give him the 6000+ calories he needs in a fast easy to eat form

[@ppgedez]

Couldn’t agree more. The forgotten original sports power foods. ✌️🙂🐢

[@bwelther9336]

That's not proper food for days on end.

[@ala0284]

Doesnt have the right nutrients, and also is hard to carry. Also good luck finding milk in India.

[@ebiafrahim603]

Fasting it is not necessary for traveler, So Y could find food by the roads .

[@Neil2022]

Decent watching but, no helmet, earphones, poor dietary prep. Lucky to be alive TBH.

[@maxvanleeuwen1273]

"no helmet" Bike helmets are a farce. maybe relevant for racing and time trials, but when you're going long distance through hot weather, why would you ever want to wear a helemt?

[@maximus5687]

maybe so if you get knocked off you dont get brain damage you tit.

[@Tokoroegao]

All sounds incredible badly planned... no support, no planning ahead.

[@UnderscoreZeroLP]

i think that is an unfair judgement based on how little you actually know about the whole journey. two 30 minute episodes are not enough to capture everything that actually had to happen to allow this to happen

[@rondee]

These are horrible places, absolutely disgusting.

[@ig2d]

How do you recognise the vegetarian in the room? Don't worry - they'll tell you!

[@UnderscoreZeroLP]

well it wouldn't happen if it was easy to be vegetarian, and that's really only the case in India and a few other places.
