India Traffic Is BONKERS... - Bikepacking India Ep.1 

So Cade Media is now Top Gear Specials for bikes, awesome !

Lawrence being scared of coconuts was not on my bingo card for this trip 😂

I have never thought there could be a crossover from classic top gear adventures and cycling and here we are. love it boys! keep at it!

Eyyyy!!! Was nice to finally meet you Francis!! What a surprise to see Lawrence too?! Have a lovely trip ahead. ❤

Lawrence looks genuinely miserable, hope he finds his fun on this trip.

I knew it was Ben Joseph. One of the best we got from India. Looking forward to the vlogs on his channel.

I always forget how brilliant the filming and editing of these adventures are. Ben Joseph seems SO cool. Unfairly cool.

Level 1 mayhem has commenced. The new hat for Chappers is too perfect. Has Lawrence truly never seen a coconut??

Can't believe you guys are in my country! Cheers, boys! Have fun, and stay safe! Go Benny!

These bikepacking vlogs are always legendary. Love them!

You guys are seriously underrated, this is gold

6:57 Laurance looks like a 2 year old who doesnt want to taste chocolate lol

Love the Top Gear style random envelope with a challenge.

The mind boggles that Lawrence doesn’t know what a coconut is!

I spent lot of time in India on business (and some vacations) and was always surprised at the traffic chaos, that somehow works. Now seeing cycling through India, brings another dimension to the traffic chaos. Wouldn't dare to do something like your trip without locals

What a vibe. Such a great bunch of people, shenanigans and filming/editing. Fantastic.

I went to Goa 10 years ago, it was bloody awesome.

I found Indian traffic bonkers too but once you get used to it, a sort of mystical calm envelops you, and you navigate it serenely. Mainly because it's usually much slower and more personal than you're used to.

Fun first episode! Very rock n roll! Love the gifts you got each other. Look forward to hearing Francis rattling along the Indian highways!

Great video. I think am commenting here after almost 6 years maybe. Rode with Ben last year through Kerela and Ooty and the Nilgiris. Right now battling the oncoming winters/rain here in the Midlands though. Can't wait for the next video. Oh yes, the roads in Kerela are suprisingly well tarmac'ed. Enjoy the trip.

good top gear vibes

cycling in India especially in the south is absolutely hellish its like 35°c but it feels like 42 because of the absurd 89% average humidity one could easily face dehydration issues

I've never really had much of a hankering to go to India--but you lads are changing that quick...

Great beginning. Looking forward to watching the rest of the trip. I hope Lawrence smiles at some point soon.

Honestly, Lawrence's new shirt is pretty awesome.

At 9:43 I love that Francis is wearing his Attacus jersey and Ben Joseph is wearing an Attaque jersey. Who’s actually wearing the knockoff?!! 🤔

Cycling , fitness, fun , entertainment, adventure -all packed taking a cycling tour to a whole different level. Now with the edits, cuts, timing , visuals, reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson's many shows , eh?( don't kill me if you hate that guy :)

"reminds me of my dad" Even as just a long time follower hits.

“Producer Emily” Great Top Gear reference! 😅

whats better than having a local showing you around his country? A local showing you around his country by bike! Safe travles guys, love the content!

"Do the thunder" really my man you gonna do thumbs up like this. It slogan is "Taste the thunder" and it's the best coke ever.

Love these adventures. Have a great time!

Love that "rectangular" tambo Sounds like the one Nowaysis used on the intro to "Nature of Reality" ! Caveat, it might just replicate the mating call of certain snakes ! 🇮🇳 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️ 🐍

Can not wait for the next episode. Thank you for your work.

Lawrence looks like a right bundle of laughs.

I love to see you guys again on a trip. You look so happy, I wish my next bike trip would be like yours

Top notch content and film editing! Keep up the good work mates! 🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️❤

Task from producers? I'm getting strong Top Gear/Grand Tour vibes ;)

This is a really fascinating and entertaining journey, I am also following the individual vlogs of the team. Very well made, full of humour and informative as well. I'm in Goa, and perhaps can connect you to our local cycling community

The golden task from producer Emily at the start. What a brilliant touch!! 😂

By the end of this trip Ben will have pedaled 1/3'rd as far as everyone else, due to hanging on the back of vehicles and back of other's seats.

This is such cool concept! Really enjoying it🙌🏻

So far, so good.....keep having fun!!

Loving this mate. Best content in a long while.

I was in India in 2019. Thums Up gets the Thumbs Up! This trip looks utterly incredible. You are very lucky!

Thanks Francis and friends ,Be safe !!

" why would I drink out of a coconut" puts head in hands

At least having someone who knows the country must be a real bonus, lots of friendly people too.

Looks like a good time is being had by all.

Top Gear style gift-lugging! So good!

Ben’s homage to Barbie is something else! Disturbing doesn’t come close!

Lawrence clearly underestimated what he got into. Can’t see any enjoyment at all. Amazing videos !!!!

It does indeed look like amazing fun - bonk or not - Thumbs up!

I use a dhb headband on all my rides. My head sweats so much that it's just become a staple piece of kit. I'm amazed more people don't use them!

Gettin. Back to vids of actual cycling 💪

Hat color matches jersey so much 😮

Great crew. This should be fun.

Top Gear moment at the start from Emily!

Damn! I just wanna go for a summer ride now. Except it's the season of grey in Vancouver and we got over 250mm, in some areas, of rain in 2 days :(

Aw shucks. I missed seeing y'all either in Kochi or in Ooty. All the best for the ride boys!

I hope you have some charcoal tablets 😳or a proper prepared iron gut ☝ Have fun out there!

Ah, the Top Gear itch has been scratched here.

Oh, this trip is going to be soooooo goooooooood

3:28 love the comedic timing of the cut lol

Well done boys! And the hilarity continues.

Thank you guys and girls needed cheering

🤣 i was snorting at the jokes. best one so far :D

loving this series.

Terrific Ep, 👍🙏👏.

What the heck is Ben's helmet?! It looks like he 3D printed a child's drawing

Lawrence looks tired..sleepy and jet lagged I suppose. come on brother wake up

This is going to be a great ride, India is quite a remarkable country.

Ben Joseph is just such a great guy.

Laurence missing out big time on coconuts out of the ice box. Bigly.

As usual simply brilliant!

This is going to be amazing.

Love Lawrence's shirt, Ben's hat...what did Francis and BJ get?? Have fun , guys 💝💝💝💝

Oh boy, I hope you go up Ooty hill - 15 hairpin turns. Easy peasy for you guys. Almost killed me.

Have you guys ever thought about having a SUBSCRIBER join the podcast or on one of your epic adventures/rides 🙋‍♂️ anyway, love the channel and everyone involved with content. Always look forward to new content!

Do the thunder is what I yell every time I use the bathroom

"Where are we going?" 😁

oh man, it looks amazing

This is the content we're here for

This is the first time I’m so excited and can’t wait to watch the next video..buy a dhoti wear it.. Mundu

Kerala and Goa are on my list list.

Love these videos! I thought James were coming with though since he's been hyping a "trip with the boys" for weeks on Instagram.

Ben J seems like a really nice chap

Looks like good crack, in fariness. Having a local guide makes a massive difference I'd say.

This is the kind of stuff I've stayed subscribed for. Everything else you can keep.

Top Gear meets my favorite cycling influencers.

india gets bad rep for its rampant fascism and classism. series looks like its gonna be a banger regardless

wow did not know ben has such good negotiating skills xd

Never seen drinking out of a coconut? Get rid of that guy

It’s Not do the thunder man.. it goes like this ‘ thumbs up,,,taake the thunnnndeerrrrrrr’’ .. oh I miss kochi

WAITING FOR NEXT EPISODE

welcome to Srilanka brother

Enjoy goa !

6:58 it’s just sad that bro doesn’t even know what coconut water is. Missing out big time.

Reminds me of my dad ❤️❤️

Lawerance looks out of his depth in India. Wait till he visits the cludgies!
