What Happened To James' Bike? - Bikepacking Thailand Ep.14

[@TravellerSam]

I don’t want it be over. I selfishly want to see you daily, riding your bikes through the world and being as honest, funny and beautiful as you are.

[@tripledoubleish]

green coke is regular coke sweetened with stevia instead of sugar

[@MylesHSG]

Didn't they used to sell that in the UK? Coke Life? Haven't seen it in years though

[@derekhobbs1102]

It was a thing in Australia for a while, but now green label is coke no sugar with lime.

[@berrypotato1246]

Which also means it’s totally useless for cycling as it has zero carbs in it!

[@derekhobbs1102]

I tried raw Stevia straight of the plant once, thought I was high for a few hours. No, it wasn't weed.

[@drbest2]

These three guys remind me of Kirk, Spock, and Bones from Star Trek. In every episode, they arrive at a new, unknown place and have the most amazing adventures there. Lawrence is, of course, the cool Spock, Francis is Kirk, and James is the slightly quirky Bones. Boldly go where no man has gone before. 😀

[@gr6560]

My wife is Thai and it's nice to see your riding around her hometown, 11.35 she recognized the uniform of the students who's riding the motorbike, we can also see the latex three and other fruit three on the background. The panel said do not overtake by car (dangerous in the mountain) Great to see you have nice time here 🤙

[@StickmanAirsoftPH]

When you said "What could possibly go wrong?" I was waiting for the the cut where something went wrong. Glad I was wrong.

[@trwilliams22]

The irony of James telling Lawrence to stop talking

[@GenuinePluko]

This was the most delirious i've seen James so far! He's lost it! Love it 😂

[@indobleh]

Well done gents, why does Lawrence look like he could do the whole journey again? Whilst James's decent into madness is almost complete.

[@adamgriss2025]

I must admit that James’ mental uncoiling is rather entertaining!😂😂😂

[@yewnammak750]

lol James’s bombastic side eye

[@dennissantiago9525]

😒😂

[@KevMk3]

Lawrence is ace

[@cuttysark8017]

I'm not surprised by the broken spoke. Even without tents etc the bikes look a bit loaded and I believe James has 24 spoke wheels. I would never undertake such a trip on anything less than 32 spoke wheels and I carry a Fiberfix spoke repair kit, although I've never had to use it.

[@Disco-Wizard1]

As soon as James said ride in the jungle, we both thought CCR at the same time. Love it !

[@hakansen185]

Like seeing Lawrance in all the difference moods!

[@Thomas-fy9yc]

You need to finish this ride up so you can get James back before the next full moon .

[@tommonik]

This has been like a vlog series on James under ‘Cade Media’ I’m sure you will owe him some royalties 😂 great stuff guys!

[@robertoe.germanjr.2631]

We Filipino will love you guy's to try making project Philippines 🇵🇭🥰 Cycling is our 2nd love passion hubby... Many foreign try riding here they say? It's cycling paradise ❤❤❤

[@kevinlyon9501]

Aw well rides got to end sometime, lovely bit of road and views for the second from last day. Humidity getting to James😅

[@petergarner]

The only time I didn’t get wistful at the end of a tour was when we toured for 6 weeks. We were ready to come home after that one. But anything under 3 weeks, and I find the last few days of a tour are tinged with sadness. And the post-tour hangover generally lasts as long as the tour. This has been a very fun series. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride!

[@anthonyguglielmino971]

Loved following your trip….. making memories with friends is the best 👍

[@8draco8]

The sign says: "Limited vision range. Do not overtake"

[@obfuscurity]

Lawrence's last comment pretty much summed it up for me.

[@Joshua-dx7zn]

No Lawrence, James is not okay.

[@specialk824]

14 episodes in and this the first episode that showed up on my feed, KZbin slacking

[@mrpokeit]

I can't think why Lawrence would get on so well with other dogs.

[@McHayes76]

The scenery at 7:05 😍😍😍

[@kamolhengkiatisak1527]

The road to Phuket crosses the South's width from sea coast along Gulf of Thailand to Andaman sea, thus it is only 2 lanes but beautiful views. I did cross twice during my 2 times biking from Bangkok with about 70 riders to commemorate tsunami tragedy, once after 3 months and another after one year's anniversary.

[@aaronhamlen8215]

Enjoying the 7-11 tour.

[@bakh95]

That zoom in of James’s facial expression 😂

[@joewilliams3809]

“Jesus turned water into wine” 😂😂😂😂

[@PatParvum]

Two things are certain about your trip. Youre all having a great time together (thanks for sharing) and your luggage is so high it can fly home by itself 🤢😷

[@benhaywood2510]

Matey boy at 6:08 reminds me of me in my GCSE French Oral exam.

[@BikepackingAdventures]

Ooo looking forward to see this after work. Yes I noticed James' back wheel was wobbling like crazy in the last video.

[@BrandonNevermind]

I think that's the first time I've heard Francis say "Snake!" in a video and there actually be a snake 🤣

[@Eowyn77]

This would've been a nice opportunity for a test and review of the fiberfix spoke 😀

[@NELSON3947]

Broken spoke is pronounced 'spoken' :)

[@danielosman3134]

It’s been great to watch this trip makes me want to get my next trip, unfortunately it won’t be 3 weeks in a tropical environment, 3-4 days somewhere in the UK probably get just as wet though!

[@S2Sturges]

Well done, lads...! Enjoy going to back to a frosty UK, whilst us guys who live here, turn the air con on....

[@rrluthi1]

My only issue with CDC jerseys (what James wears) is that the rear pockets terminate so high up the back you need to have amazing arm flexibility to use them comfortably.

[@cb6866]

Thanks Francis Be safe

[@Hyfly13]

And on today's episode of Bikepacking 7-Eleven: Chuckit in the Phuket Bucket!

[@scottbates1424]

I’m pretty sure that road sign you couldn’t read said, “Snakes! Everywhere snakes! So many, many horrid snakes!”

[@irfuel]

Next time pack a FiberFix Spoke. Takes no luggage space and you can temporarily replace the spoke with something that's tensioned.

[@lancecrawley9542]

James does have a whole Kurtz Heart of Darkness thing going on.

[@fredsirvalo1904]

What DOES a Phuket Party entail?

[@peternoble4172]

Great series, thanks 😊

[@paulawright6868]

No please don’t be over😢

[@scottriley7215]

Seriously, 7-11 should sponsor you. They've already gotten a bunch of free advertising!

[@raybrig_5551]

James isn't fat.

[@Mr_Zzzeee]

a little

[@iacobp]

He's underweight

[@tomasz8935]

James is what Mark Cavendish is going to carry like in 10 years

[@Mr_Zzzeee]

@@tomasz8935 lol exactly

[@CourtneyHump]

First! Love the trip fellas!

[@TriStruggleBus]

Second... just sat down, end of the day and whoopy, my favourite KZbinr just released! :)

[@Harley_Gauge]

James doesn't need to stop talking! Too damp funny.

[@belverticale]

Oh I'm glad the sun has come out to play again. Almost there. Final run in through Kao Lak tomorrow is it?

[@TexDeck]

I usually stayed away from the random Coke flavors bc they were usually Zero Sugar (like the red with black writing one you drank at 9:20...)

[@andreemurray7039]

Nice flat smooth roads can you bring them back thanks

[@smAshomAsh]

'Let me stuff it away somewhere where it cannot be smelled.' -😐...😆

[@GreenViper-d4w]

I’m no expert…..but I think that’s probably a white lipped Green Viper……highly venomous

[@jamesenloe2791]

6:52 that snake saw the Anaconda Lawrence has coiled up in his cycling shorts and hauled ass.

[@cityslacker6221]

Peacocks!

[@skrub3761]

Project Taiwan next !

[@CaptainChromaKey]

100 kg James + 100 kg Bike = poor Mavic wheels. Its a miracle only one spoke said gooood bye 😂

[@Kesevar]

cheap Cube bike >>> overpriced titanium whatever James has 😄

[@janvlacil963]

I love to watch your trip! 😊 Francis, what is the model of your Oakley?

[@AllanLeahy]

Are your routes available anywhere?

[@BrawndoDrinker]

Dogs? Peru they chase, Nepal they are chill, and in Iceland, New Zealand, Switzerland, Italy no on trail dog interactions. In the US, it's very dependent on location and if owner is there on trail, but there are actual trail dogs that are awesome. But wildlife here in the western US is more of a concern out on mtb trails: bears, mt lions, rattlers, etc.

[@MattHBkk]

Great roadtrip guys! Really enjoyed following your adventures. But my advice would be don’t go to Phuket. It’s overrated and overcrowded. Go to Koh Lanta or Khao Lak instead. You won’t be disappointed. Ride safe! 👍🏻

[@archy_bold]

Those bikes are sounding a bit less quiet at this stage of the trip.

[@apagunaberlari2929]

i missed sick James 🤣

[@platypushatstand]

11:20 Definitely not Bromptons. I note you have a B75 in your media studio, do you ever ride it?

[@CyclingWithDan]

Will you upload all the stages to Komoot or any other platform? I’ll be leaving for Thailand tomorrow and looking for some nice routes ✌🏼

[@irfuel]

Lawrence can be found on Strava

[@staff0flag]

How are you = Sabai dee mai krub

[@grahames9228]

"Is he OK?" Not really sure.

[@BrianRPaterson]

Zip ties save the day again.

[@KrzysztofArciszewski]

James has this posture quirk, like the wrong part of his back arches when he's hunched. I seem to have the same predicament. What's that? Is that a bad thing? Are there ways to alleviate that problem?

[@landeRUCK]

Bring longer videos. I get on the road that might difficult though.

[@MegaSixpac]

The sign said, This sign is upside down.

[@tristamrossin7289]

They weren't Bromptons. ;-)

[@balosahan6990]

No upload today + no pod hmm

[@buzzman4860]

Has a broken spoke and peddles standing up.

[@ncc1107]

Lawrence... It's LeviOOOsa, not LeviosAAAH

[@a.l.e.x.b.i.k.e]

Come to Vietnam and join me when you have finished your bikepacking trip through Thailand 😅 It's so close and you haven't ridden too much 😂😂

[@jameshmd]

It’s wingardium leviosaaa not leviosarr.

[@MontrealNathaniel]

We are sentencing you to Remedial Brompton identifying class.

[@DByrne50]

So why does James sound like Justin and cycles like Ben... has anyone else noticed... Who's the parents 👀 James, tip of the day in 38 degrees, don't wear a casquette under your helmet!!!

[@Thezuule1]

If you pronounce Phuket phonetically your inner 14 year old boy will enjoy it.

[@brucifurrose9956]

How do you make a great day better? Listen to CCR.

[@janveraart307]

Is it me, or are groups of British men just weird 😂

[@joshuarebennack68]

Thailand looks amazing. Shame its hotter than Satan's taint though. My people where made for the forests of northern Europe and, hence, wouldn't do well there.

[@mrtzgntr4881]

🫶

[@rungsarnsuthithanin8415]

The green can designate no sugar coca cola. No good....

[@ondrejkubo]

It used to be stevia-sweetened Coke in out country called “Coca-Cola Life”.

[@deepzeliade-dk8uo]

James is such a bell end.

[@leestephenson4083]

Speaks very highly of you

[@davidv6803]

The last episode should be called “Lawrence and the Ladyboy”.

[@thecatsonholiday5932]

Wow, i didn't know that bike fit james was gay?

[@philmay6258]

My thoughts exactly

[@therealsvensson]

Who cares? He’s James either way 😎

[@RobPollen]

and you work in the bike industry that Brompton was a Tern

[@paulthompson2991]

Really liked the last tour in India... tbh though this one a lot (a lot) less... too much like a British lads stag night vibe on bikes... but hey, hope you're having a nice time
