@@fede1275 You are most welcome. Enjoy watching & listening. The world needs more people like you in it. Such positive personality you have Sir. I am 77 yo. ride my Merida Sculture rim 400 bicycle every day, not too far, only 8 - 10 kms per day. Bicycles, the best gift mankind gave to us all ! Chow mate - take care out there.

Some brands have custom programs, including Siroko

I rented a classic Bike Box Alan

I believe so, unless you don't mind the heat of summer

@@fede1275 i do mind lol. How hot is it?

@@JFomo now in the 20s with the sun, in summer over 30 C

Yes, Balearic islands

@@fede1275 Ahh - Espania - thankyou for your response. Looked it up on google too. Nice part of the world. You live in London ? - be too hectic for me. So many people, concrete, cars, trucks, buses etal. I am safer here in Melbourne.

It's more of a fashion statement

I can understand what you are trying to say, but I'm not sure I can agree. As in fashion, people choose brands that sometimes ask for an enormous price, but then it's up to the buyer to decide if it's a good value or not. I have friends in PNS or Maap kit that are great riders and I saw some rude cyclists in old school 80s kit. Embracing the fully inclusive mindset I am happy to accept all well behaved cyclists in whatever brand they choose.

I wear all sorts of brands some at the higher end including MAAP, and believe me I can ride. Sometimes I go out in a baggy t-shirt with baked bean juice dripping down it onto my baggy shorts. The thing is, don't have a go at people because they want to look good, and don't be too quick to judge ability based on your subconscious fashion prejudices. Would you rather they drive cars instead?

TBF to you both above my last sentence was a bit generalist and absolutist. And you are both right. There are plenty of riders who can really ride and wear expensive kit. And conversely plenty of wankers in shitty kit. I think we all make good points. My perspective is living in a really rich, but predominantly white, Central European cycling country and being a monitory it is difficult to fit in to groups. No matter how well I can ride and I’m decent. Ive been inspired by organisations that are trying to get more and more people in to cycling. Sadly a massive barrier is cost. The sport we love is just too expensive. I’ve met too many groups that judge newcomers by bike and clothing. Not performers of these key items, but branding. People are free to rep whatever brands they like, I do too. I also understand people also have to make a quick judgement of you whether to trust your wheel or not, as they wanna get home safely. And they’re gonna use certain cues consciously or subconsciously. I just want more people to ride bikes and preferably road bikes (cause that what I love) and feel absolutely welcome. I’m not writing to justify my words, I’m replying like this in case other viewers of your channel are interested in this chat. I agree with you people can wear what they want. To everyone else, just get on a bike and ride.

@@nateksw well explained and thank you for clarifying what you wanted to say. I understand that cycling is an easy territory for people who want to feel above others and they think they can achieve that just by buying expensive kit. Hopefully you can ride with people who can include anyone with a similar mindset and have enjoyable rides.

It's raining here today in Mallorca though 😖

Great 👍👍
