I come from a motorcycle background here and im just amazed. We like nice fat tyres so that we can lean real deep down into corners and take them as fast as possible. You know more rubber, more surface area, more traction. But on the cycling side you guys like them narrow tyres, i get its probably faster and affects the ride in many factors but it just amuses me how you manage to keep that much traction while in a full lean. and wouldn't one tiny stone or hole in the ground = wreck ? Great vid man and ride on. Seems you guys are really pro!
Me to, I ride bicycles only now and although they seem to stick to the tarmac pretty good I felt a lot safer on my R1. Im not totally convinced I had more fun in the corners on motorcycles though, it is addictive.
I really wanted to buy a road bike but i have seen that the speed difference compared with mbt bike I have is so little, so I'll better buy a motorcycle that is almost the same price
i been biking my whole lifetime but my interests got more into uphill / downhill mountains because i love to drive through gravel and dirt and stuff. what really is wicked sick that you go uphill faster than im down. big respect for the average of 150 watts .. that aint bad
Awesome road, I wish we had some mountains where I live, but my country (Holland) is almost entirely flat. I only get two bridges when I do my regular 40km ride (about 25 miles). In fact, there is now a group of people planning on building a mountain here, can you believe that? Great gadgets on your bike too, by the way. In the old days (early 80s) we could only guess how fast we were going, imagine that!
Cool video! By the way, can you tell me what software you used to get those graphics 'speedometer' on the screen? I really want them to appear on my screen.
What are your impressions of the iBike power meters? I like the appeal of their relatively lower cost compared to most power meters, but I'm not familiar with how well they function next to something expensive like an SRAM Quarq, for example.
That invite may not have been for me, but daamn I'd love to come over and try that road. Wish it wasn't on the other side of an ocean. I don't know of any good descents in my area. Only one is straight and pretty short.
Cool video, cool descent. Love me some GMR. Friend of mine uses dashware on a lot of his rides and races. He uses just about every visual feature you'd want, including g-force on turns. Search "Descending Stunt" for an example. Oh, and that's me in the front.
Glendora, CA. Road is called Glendora Mountain Road. While you're down here you can climb and descend Mt Baldy Rd. That's a road I can easily hit over 50mph on. I used to bomb down this descent but I'm not much in a hurry anymore with how many time I've gone up and down it.
I think they work for the average amateur. It is consistent. Is 1 watt exactly 1 watt? I don't think so, but from day to day it'll show you if you're improving. Its also easy to swap among my two bikes.
It looks like a fun descent, but I was surprised to not see speeds over 40mph on grades from 4-6%. I know there are corners, but it seems like the rider could have opened it up more on the straight sections. I can understand if this was the first time doing the descent, it's always good to coast the first time down an unknown road for safety reasons.
Hey, I'm Greg. 13 Years old. Man, I love this decent. Did you make it to the top of the ski lifts? Its a moderate climb, but after 30 miles of getting to it with a slight uphill grade, it is completely tiring. Great video.
i think the closest i have ever seen would be in the peak district but you can go through several different weather climates on the way down, so good old england playing its fun games again..
Hi there, just for curious... why did u use iBike Pro and Garmin Edge 305 together?, u need one of them for something specific?. Great video by the way, like the song ;).
These corners look tight if you check out the angle of the bikes I'm guessing the camera is,as most do,flattening out the actual severity of the road. I can go 40+ easily on a nice straight descent as could 99.9% of cyclists but add to this the road surface the corners and missing potholes and this guy was pretty fast in my humble opinion ..so thanks for the great video i really enjoyed it
I'd ignore the less positive comments about in being too shallow , slow, straight, etc. It's just good fun! I do like the telemetry in the screen though ..and the music!
Why don't you tuck in? I go down Mt. Lemmon tucked in and I go even faster than this with a headwind. It curves just as much: I take the racing line, tuck in and I go like 35 when it hits 7% just tucking in. I go around tight turns at 35, and the average grade isn't much different. For me it's far faster than pedaling.
In fact, when you start getting to speeds that you're talking about, another 100 watts adds you 1 mph. And then the next mph takes 120 watts beyond that. Once you start getting to these speeds, aerodynamics is a far more dominant factor in your speed. A 1 mph difference in the windspeed results in a mile per hour on the bike at these velocities. So, if he went down with a 3 mph headwind, and you went down with a 8 mph tailwind (which isn't that much when you're still), you'd go 11 mph faster.
If you looked at his wattage, it didn't seem like he was pedaling all that hard. At -6%, I usually try to hit at least 45-50mph. If I'm going to climb up a road, I'm going to have fun coming down, no soft pedaling!
Lol I know what you mean. I used to be like "wooohooo lets go as fast as possible" on Mt. Lemmon. Now its like "meh, I'll save my back and legs for the ride home."
The ibike doesn't have a timecode to sync with the GoPro video. I need that to sync the data gauges in Dashware. The Garmin does have a timecode and I merged the Ibike and garmin data together
Maybe I just risk it more. lol. I take as close to the racing line as possible as fast as possible, with my hands under the center of the handlebars all tucked in. Sometimes I'm in the drops, but it does seem to do the trick. Where is the road? Maybe I'll try it just for the sake of making a fair comparison. lol.
@firefern1990 Its the stem/bar mount that came with my Garmin. just used a couple zip ties. Its mounted there because it gets in the way of my iBike Pro.

motorbike from 150 to 250 kg weight compare to bike from 10 to 20 kg
stathis kolopedi
bike from around 7/10kg..road bikes atleast..mine is 7.7kg's and my downhill mtb is 16.7kg
I really wanted to buy a road bike but i have seen that the speed difference compared with mbt bike I have is so little, so I'll better buy a motorcycle that is almost the same price
I'll second that! I would LOVE a piece of road like that over here!
Интересный ролик. Есть куда стремиться. Мы в августе поднялись на Эльбрус. А знакомых наших с вертолетом эвакуировали. Это был полная *****))
Thanks for the views and comments. To those who need more speed, post your own video and lets see what you can do
best reply ever hehe

That also looks like it would be a lovely climb. Nice riding, man!
Climbing or descending, I love GMR
I watched this video two days ago and have had this damn song stuck in my head ever since lol nice video man.

Very interesting to see power input. I'm impressed.
But what does the blue line represent?
The blue line is power averaged over one minute
looks fun!
great vid

really great vid, looks like a fantastic descent, would make a nice climb too :)

Awesome video! Might be a stupid question, but how did you mount your Garmin to your top tube? Did the Garmin come with a mount for that?

How do you watermark the metrics gauges on the video in a synced manner? Is the iBike connected to the GoPro?
Awesome! This is the best video I have seen in youtube!
That's a fabulous road chaps!.. although from this perspective I almost imagined that I was pedaling myself.. hehe
watching this reminds me i always wanted a road bike....
sweet video, what program do you use to add to the gopro of your garmin and ibike info into the video?
The software that makes the "dash" is called Dashware. It combines the gpx file with the video
It looks like a fun descent, but I was surprised to not see speeds over 40mph on grades from 4-6%. I know there are corners, but it seems like the rider could have opened it up more on the straight sections.

Beautiful descent :)
really enjoyed your video
This is fantastic video. Could you please tell me how did you import data from iBike and Garmin to the video?
nice work... i like the choice of music. it suits the video images
Nice vid, what you using to get your data into that cool widget thing??
Do u even press the break!!!! Them leans make me never want to ride a bike again like its gonna slip
i think the closest i have ever seen would be in the peak district but you can go through several different weather climates on the way down, so good old england playing its fun games again..
do you know if I can use the system on ski to check and put the data on the video like you? Please answer.
Hi there, just for curious... why did u use iBike Pro and Garmin Edge 305 together?, u need one of them for something specific?.
Great video by the way, like the song ;).
Does the garmin pickup the power data from the iBike?- just curious I have an iBike gen 3 also
These corners look tight if you check out the angle of the bikes I'm guessing the camera is,as most do,flattening out the actual severity of the road. I can go 40+ easily on a nice straight descent as could 99.9% of cyclists but add to this the road surface the corners and missing potholes and this guy was pretty fast in my humble opinion ..so thanks for the great video i really enjoyed it
That's nice. How fast were you going up?
hey ... that's an awesome soundtrack !!! what's the name of the song ??? ... really good track man
@MrMadonplanes It's a tail wind. It's wind speed relative to rider.
Tell me about it. I crashed descending Crystal lake a month ago. Went down at 38mph. Still had to ride home 20 miles from there.
Video Editing ? you created the video overlay display speed etc, how do you?
I'd ignore the less positive comments about in being too shallow , slow, straight, etc. It's just good fun! I do like the telemetry in the screen though ..and the music!
160bpm when descent? What HR do you have when climb than? My max is 177- according to age, of course
I wish I had a bike like this
so friggin awesome
How you did to put your speed in this video? I want to do the same with my garmin 800/PowerTap
adoro!!! adrenalina pura.....
Please when i desent with my bycycle the bike start to vibrate ? Please Bikers help !
I wish I had routes like this! Where do you find these?!
Looks like you have a Garmin on the top tube as well?
What do you use to measure all of your stats? (wind, altitude, speed, gps, watts, heart rate etc...)
YES. Climbing is the main course. Descending is the dessert.
come to england, we have lots of.. rain and flat bits of road that are very windy. it is sooo much fun, not. jealous of your big hills and sunshine!
how did you put the grade on there? i downloaded the dashware trial but i dont see a grade gauge. thanx
that speedometer thing on the video, is that some sort of app?
Is the ibike actaully accurate, have you had any problems with it?
wow all that pedaling to hit 30? with 6-7% downhill? U must be feather light, I coast at 35 those downgrades and take a break
It wasn't the gearing. I didn't want to be rude and pass the lady ahead of me. I also weigh 127 lbs. Or 152 if you include bike gear and water
U can buy a "watts-power-meter"?where?thx.. ;)
thanks for this is nice video 😊
Am I correct, you were only in the 30's? kinda slow even for 2011..
I am not understanding the 28-32 MPH "speeds".
well why don't you post a video then, Mr. Perfect. By the way are able to leap tall buildings in a single bound?
I'm just thinking how hard to climb that mountain with bicycle...
Why don't you tuck in?
I go down Mt. Lemmon tucked in and I go even faster than this with a headwind. It curves just as much: I take the racing line, tuck in and I go like 35 when it hits 7% just tucking in. I go around tight turns at 35, and the average grade isn't much different.
For me it's far faster than pedaling.
The wide angle of the GoPro can be deceiving. The corners are sharper than they look
the speedometer looking thing on the upper right hand corner makes the video looks more intense )
is turning hard? i feel that at this speed for me i wouldnt be able to control the bike properly to go around the coreners.
+andrey dagayev I only go as fast as I'm comfortable going
In fact, when you start getting to speeds that you're talking about, another 100 watts adds you 1 mph. And then the next mph takes 120 watts beyond that.

Way to corner like a boss! +1
I live 3 miles from this route. They're all over the place where I'm at.
Really cool device/ meters there bro! not sure what they're called but it's awesome >:D
cool music :) What is it?
was it during a race? or just on an open road?
This was not a race. Just an open road
Brave man! you're lucky, there are no cars at all on that street, when I go riding my bike there are too much cars!
Aha, powertap+garmin, maybe you can mount a laptop somewhere too?
Nice descent 😜
Espetacular!!!!!!!
If you looked at his wattage, it didn't seem like he was pedaling all that hard. At -6%, I usually try to hit at least 45-50mph. If I'm going to climb up a road, I'm going to have fun coming down, no soft pedaling!
can you explain what shop do you mean ?
Lol I know what you mean.
I used to be like "wooohooo lets go as fast as possible" on Mt. Lemmon.
Now its like "meh, I'll save my back and legs for the ride home."
Do you counter-steer on a bicycle ?
you do actually, if you're going fast enough, just like a motorcycle.
What Kind Of Frame Were you riding On ?
The ibike doesn't have a timecode to sync with the GoPro video. I need that to sync the data gauges in Dashware. The Garmin does have a timecode and I merged the Ibike and garmin data together
riding the brakes much? i think u hit over 35 once. i was bombing this the other day, i dont know if I even went under 35
Make a video and lets see?
the song is 102 by Kiko
what are those indicators ?
Please tell me how you make speedometer on clip and that process..? pleaseeee :)
Maybe I just risk it more. lol.
I take as close to the racing line as possible as fast as possible, with my hands under the center of the handlebars all tucked in. Sometimes I'm in the drops, but it does seem to do the trick.
Where is the road? Maybe I'll try it just for the sake of making a fair comparison. lol.
@toretto94Extrem go to dashware.com you're going to need a powermeter or GPS of some sort.
@firefern1990 Its the stem/bar mount that came with my Garmin. just used a couple zip ties. Its mounted there because it gets in the way of my iBike Pro.
Song please! Id love to ride on that road.
you need to tell the rider in front of the camera that his seat is too high up! His hips are rocking
you know S.I. "International System of Units"?
whats the beat,gos well with the cycling
Woah what a beat,it does go well with cycling, this is cool, what a nice view as well =-D
The track is by Kiko. Title: 102
Ernest Villalon
cheers for that,looked it up,its a killer
wheres all the cars ?
help me please i want to start bikeing like him how do i start??!!!!
I agree. A local cyclist and racer died during his descent last year. RIP Kevin Unck.
I have a set of Continental gatorskin hardshells that are 1.5 years old with 6000 miles. I am unable to wear them out. I am 140lbs.
top speed for me is 48 mph. Only hold that for 10-30 seconds though. Thin jersey wouldn't do well against the cement
