      Can a cyclist like Safa go 30 mph on a flat road for a long time of period? It's insanse how fast these pro cyclists can go. I can barely reach 22 mph! And when I reach that speed I can't hold any longer than 30 seconds….

      13:00 such a stupid and dangerous move again — really love your descending videos but we all know it‘s just a question of time till one of you eventually will be under a car or down some mountain!

      yo SAFA the legend 🚴‍♂💪 Got any plans for another city tour? Gonna be cruising through red lights again and checking out the bike lane situation?

      Madeleine is such a lovely col. It isn't the highest (less than 2k at the top), but it's base is also lower than most so you still get almost 1.5k altitude gain…and it is lush and green all the way to the top.

      Mi más sincero reconocimiento y méritos para estos dos ciclistas, veo estos vídeos para aprender a descender sin miedo, tengo mucho miedo a bajar los puertos, lo paso muy mal y veo difícil que pueda superar este trauma. Pero estoy convencido que viendo estos vídeos me ayuden a afrontar mejor los descensos de los puertos de montaña.

      I get why they're on roadbikes, but it would be a lot more fun and probably safer from a traction standpoint with mountain bikes, and I doubt they'd lose THAT much speed.

      So etwas nennt man dann wohl "suizidal" unterwegs. Am Anfang in der Kurve bei dem Motorrad hat es gerade noch zum Ausweichen gereicht. Ich würde sagen das ist nur noch eine Frage der Zeit bis es soweit ist. Dann hoffentlich niemand unschuldiges verwickelt. Die Menschen werden immer dümmer…..🥵

      15:56 If I'm not mistaking he's in the wrong gear. It seems the rear derailleur is correct (smallest gear) 10/11T. Yet the front derailleur seems to be in it's 40T and not the larger outer chainring. Which means, waste of energy and mileage efficiency.

      17:10 Once again another wrong gear selection. Since he's descending. You would always want the max speed. Now the rear derailleur should be on 10/11T. The only time the smaller front derailleur would be used is for hill climbing. What you're witnessing here is an example as if the rear derailleur would be on 38-42T going downhill. Now the pedal is spending effortlessly and without a cause for momentum (no torque).
