    Hey Jasper, just recently found your channel and surely instantly subscribed! Kudos for the KOM Challenge! I’ve lived in Taipei for 5 years and loved cycling there. This video brings back great memories as you showed some of my training routes back in the day! Keep those videos coming, if you’re ever coming to the south of Germany ring me up, epic routes and beers waiting for you mate! Cheers from Germany!

    Hi Jasper, good to see you feeling strong and I have enjoyed the last two videos, from Taiwan. I haven't been around in UA-cam land for a while and so have a bit to catch up on. I hope you won't stop making those videos from your home races as they were the ones that drew me to your channel. That kind of racing around towns and villages with the narrow roads is very thrilling to watch, especially from the "inside" with your on bike footage and explanations of the racing. Good luck for 2020! All the best, Tim

      ivycycles I think we are obligated to have our own choice. up till 1990 homosexuality was considered a mental illness. This was in all medical books. when I was growing up in a straight couple was kissing in the street people would turn to them and tell them go get a room. Now if you say that to a gay couple the look at you like you are a racist. I don't understand why homosexuals are the only people that need to advertise their sexual preference through their body language and the way they speak. It's not fair for every single straight person trying to raise their family in the right way to deal with such Madness daily. Straight people feel uncomfortable around gay people this is a fact. The fact that you are a homosexual makes others uncomfortable. And when you advertise this it makes it even worse.
