I cycled to work for 7 years. The distance to my office was 9 miles. Fortunately, going to work meant going downhill mostly so I wasn’t too sweaty when I got to work. I had a cabinet in the warehouse where I had stashed my street clothes and shoes and did a quick change. But going home was the hard part, especially after a long day. But I just had to do it to go home, going mostly uphill with 1500 feet elevation gain. Total round trip time took 90 minutes. I averaged 4000 miles a year those years. I retired 10 years ago but still ride 3000 miles a year.

What is that cool tyre inflating device at 5:52?

Not bike related, but a game changer anyway. I see you had an induction stove which is even better, so preheat a frying pan, put the slices in and when the bottom starts getting crispy again, splash a little bit of water inside the pan and cover with a lid. The water will instantly turn into steam which will melt the cheese, while giving you a crispy crust and perfectly warm toppings to munch on. From preheating a pan to eating leftover pizza that tastes like it's fresh, it will take you around 2-3 minutes. It's slower than heating it in the microwave, but I'd rather lose that little bit of extra time than to eat soggy pizza, especially while in Italy. Clean up (if the pizza isn't too greasy, which can spill into the pan and burn) is just running the pan and the lid under hot water, dry them with a clean dishcloth or paper towels and you're good to go. You'll never eat leftover pizza the same way again.

If you ride in the rain, do not get rim brakes. You'll have much worse stopping

This is truly a great short and very useful

You should get a longer compression plug. With the spacers you have underneath your stem, that plug should sit 1/2 inch below the top bearing in your head tube just to be on the safe side. Also, I personally recommend a 5mm spacer on top of the stem. Just some food for thought. Ride safe!

I used to commute. My route was around 16Km (10 miles), and I could NEVER get to work without being sweaty, regardless of my pace. Winter cycling... Nope. I'm from the south in the US, and I don't do cold. Call me a wimp. I don't care.

I wish my area didnt have 300 days of rain a year, otherwise I woulda cycled daily to work

Cycling to work was the best part of my day.

Wow! Same deodorant! And I'm in Japan! A lot of what you say is the same for me (but I don' t race). I've been cycle-commuting for many years and as you say it is a way of life, so much better and energizing than a train ride. Not stress free but WAY better. Keep spinning brother! (PS I don't envy your winters!)

Buy a used bike, and call it your winter bike. That's what I do and several of my coolueges do here in Oslo, Norway. I Feels safer biking with metal studs than to walk without studs on my shoes. 18km is a bit far for winter riding though incase something happens.

I bought this bike last year. I was looking for a lightish bike, with a good gear set, easy to maintain at a friendly price. This bike hit all points. I do 3-4 rides per week between 40 and 100 km per ride. While not a high performance bike, this bike's performance far exceeds its price tag. I can keep up to those that have clearly over spent. Realistically the bike is an in between an endurance and racer. Most importantly it meets my needs. I love it and no intention of upgrading for one less kg and an extra $4000.

Never riden a Van Rydel but great choice of road road bike,rim brakes to.Its a real pity we don't have Decathlon store's in South Africa.😏

i’d like to do this too but i don’t want to reach work sweaty sticky smelly; unpresentable 😢

Have you ridden a Van Rysel bike before? And what are your favourite cycling routes in 🇮🇹?

wow hot

When it's salty, I just use the local bike sharing.

On year 4 of bike commute most of the year (don’t like the snow and cold). I am lucky to have changing room and shower available at the office and a place to store my gear and change of clothes. As many others have said, I really need the commute home to relax and process the day. So on top of the health benefits, I am a lot more present with the family and lot less grumpy.

I want to cycle everywhere, I can't even last a few miles Lol

I biked to work for years and paid the unspent money into my pension, it helped me to retire early.

Hi, do we need the Speed Cadence Sensor for C606? Is it accurate without sensor? Please advice. Thank you.

Hows the bottom bracket now is the bearing still good?

I've been commuting by bike in all seasons for three years now. I live in Finland and we get our fair share of snow, slush, ice and road salt. In the winter I commute on my hardtail mountain bike set up with spiked tires. I wipe the chain dry when I get to work and I try to keep on top of maintenance but honestly it's not too bad. What I really like about cycling to work is how sharp it keeps my bike handling skills. Also the fitness/training thing comes almost like an added bonus and I don't have to force it into my weekly schedule as much.

Hi , I walked to work more then 15 years. I tried out a bus, but it was stuffed up and not reliable in time. So after a few days bus riding trouble, I decided to try out walking. In Germany we have decent footpathes and cycling lanes separated from streets and roads . That makes things a lot easier. I think there is a big difference between the morning way to work, and the evening way home. In the morning I took the shortest and always the same way to my work. 4 km that was about 45 min of walking. And this time schedule was very precise and stable. Also very weather resistent. Going home was the creative part. I took detours and pathes I never walked before. I always looked ahead with joy to this walking part. Sweating is usually a big problem for me. But it was not a big problem on my way to work, because I came to work always 15 minutes early. That gave me enough time to take a complete cold water washing and to change my sweaty clothes. I took my meals for the day with me, and I did not noticed a big difference in hunger between work days and not work days. But not work days are sport days fore me. So maybe that explains the difference to your case. I like bike riding a lot and I ride about 5000 km per year for fun. But those 5 km were to short for me to move my bike in order to get warm and to get a nice workout. Fast walking felt a lot better. Greetings from upper franconia in Germany. By the way , I really like your channel. Interesting and reliable content.

I've been cycling to work for a year and a half and it's the best thing I've done (despite the 2 crashes and 1 knockdown by a car so far). I've saved at least £80 a month on petrol, my temperament and irritability has improved, lost a lot of weight and I'm significantly fitter than I have ever been. Being in Scotland, the weather and roads are terrible, but if you wrap up and keep your eyes peeled it's easy. Recommend!

And you haven't changed jobs to somewhere that has shower facilities?

Whats the long cycling clothes you are rocking? I’m searching for something that isn’t Lycra but still not baggy

I started cycling all year long in 1997 in Montreal where the winters (snow fall) are crazy. It's not fun cycling in winter but it was my only preference to commute because I HATE public transportation. Once I moved to Toronto and discovered the comparatively milder winters it's been a bit easier commuting in winter. So, I empathize with your observations. On the other hand, now that the pandemic turned my job into remote work, I've had to improvise my fitness routine. I miss it... during the summer. But, I still commute by bike to run errands or go to events. Nice video. Thanks for sharing. Hope you continue riding year long and have pleasant experiences.

I think you need to go outdoors for some real cycling rather than looking at screens with cartoon characters on it

You know what's even better than riding to work I found? Retiring and riding anytime I want anywhere I want.😂

I tried the discount code on Magenes site and was unsuccessful unfortunately

Is it true that if sand gets inside the tire, tpu tubes get punctured? That’s what i heard. Anyway the ultrasport 3 tires, i like them, durable indeed, i use them on long rides.

I’m moving from a sometimes bike commute to an always bike commute with the addition of my e-bike for the days my legs are shot I have extra stuff to carry. The smells and views are way better than the bus and as for safety…. I saw a dude drop his gun on the bus while playing around with a knife. I’m more than done with the bus.

Put a twist in the O-ring when you install it on the seat post. This may give you some added stability.

does the strap can be stretched up to 95cm?

damn i debating whether to get these as they are light weight or photochromic hawk had.. but these are sold out :'(

❤

recommend it over the kapvoe aliexpress?

hi, where did you stay in italy?

I cycle to work for 11 years, start my cycling season in early april and end it in the late october, 17-21 km (about 13 miles) from my home to work, and the same distance back. I've lost 13 kg (almost 30 lbs) of weight in first 3 months of daily cycling.

How does the braking compare on an alloy wheel and a carbon fiber wheel?

Seems a lot better than the Bryton model. One of the best things you can add to your setup imo

Plan to buy some bib shorts on Black Friday. Is its pad better than ykyw or santic?

5:29 dude you gotta cut that steerer, its not safe

Great video. I’ve got a short commute so have deliberately lengthened it to make it a workout too… and less time on the turbo trainer 😂. Glad it was a positive experience for you!

is some of the footage from italy by chance?

I can't download what I sent from their email

Reminds me of Grinding Paste
