Pretty sure he said something about silk road on a Brompton at the end.😂

[@aedamhaeng]

On an Eerder Metaal Explorer no problem ;-)

[@losthwy]

You are full of wisdom, your last section speaking of what holds so many of us back and how to move past that was so helpful to me ty.

[@unclefuzzyss]

Oh! Such an amazing story! Thanks for sharing Allan! I’ve wanted an Omnium for a long time, and this has done nothing - NOTHING to dissuade me.

[@hanshund7616]

I think I've seen all the movies about silkroad, AMR etc. This is the best! Mostly because Allan is the best. Big love!

[@poli.b]

Allan is such an inspiring human ❤

[@movingpointcc]

Love it! We are adding it to our "long distance cycling stories" collection.

[@outtatrex]

He'll do the next Silkroad on a Brompton, with the 20 inch wheel conversion kit. Go for it!

[@Jadeddave]

What a wonderful video, and such positive energy. Brilliant.

[@TheMrBobD]

[@adrianmelo5404]

[@Ok_rouleur]

Amazing achievement and very nice film

[@mohammed_sardar]

This is something truly special. Well done for capturing the human challenge and spirit in such vivid color. Beautiful work, and obviously huge respect for the achievement!

[@davidjfife]

Awesome man, congrats. Next year do it on a Tandem! Not sure if it’s been done, but that would be sweet.

[@tobimoon7849]

Powerful experience, powerful story from second number 1

[@MarioXcore1]

Finally! So cool! What is the effective head tube angle? Must be less than the grim donut!

[@karafolkerts]

ammmaaazing video and story!

[@Kermitonwheels]

What a lovely little film. Sad about the missing gopro footage but oh well, still a story well told.

[@XY-nc7nc]

Incredible ride, thanks for sharing.

[@VeloObscura]

I can't believe that some little git stole his GoPro! What the hell!? Great effort, great attitude, great film (regardless)!

[@firsthippy]

I KNEW there was a better way to carry my snacks around these ultras!

[@_markus_bike_]

Richtig tolle Film🍿 um motiviert zu bleiben. Grüße aus Griechenland 🇬🇷. 🚴

[@Cobwobbler]

What an excellent effort. At least you could load up the cargo bike with goodies. Looking at the terrain I'd go for a fat bike.... with full sus... And a motor 😂 Bravo Sir, grand effort 👏👏👏

[@thesiegeld]

Silk road on a tandem! Do it!

[@AndyGeorges]

Awesome story. How about using a Brompton? :p

[@joyeechen287]

Next time try doing it on a fixie!

[@p504504]

Proud to ride an Omnium every day.

[@Wpaolo1231]

qui a demandé

[@sk8board44]

What do you mean by "it was taken from his bike at a resupply stop"?

[@willangstenclark981]

Great little film, enjoyed following the race and Allan. Question, did you lose your cleats at some point? There's a shot of you sitting next to another rider with no cleat in your shoe...

[@Timberbeartrail]

This is a very good video

[@bensidsaph4349]

Great effort, made it look too easy. Take a penny farthing next time.

[@AndrewFrink]

Pennyfarthing next time?

[@user-kz9lg5vr2k]

it shouldnt be normalised to pudh through knee pain. that shit can fuck you up

[@p504504]

if anything, it was "extremised" rather than normalized. I get your point but everyone has to decide their own limits.

[@sempi8159]

Agreed

[@user-ku4yk4ut4z]

Love the Story Amazing !! But for gods sake can we please stop putting Stickers all over everything ...its a form of pollution both environmental and visual. ....And i mean everyone please JUST STOP!!!! I would love to look at this beautiful gate as you called it without a Stickesr stuck to it....its a real bummer!!!

[@Veit81]

Too much tattoos

[@chargod9654]

Very annoying film but okey... Nice bike...
