We cycled 2000km through Vietnam! - Bikepacking Vietnam Pt.21 

I’m actually quite sad this trip is over. The camaraderie, beautiful cinematography with an amazing country made this series brilliant. Would love to see more of this with you three in the future.

This is the BEST project we have ever seen amongst your trips. Thanks Francis for bringing us along..

Followed this from day one and enjoyed every minute. Thanks so much Francis, James and Lawrence! 🚵‍♀️ 🚵🏼 🚵‍♂️ 👍

Totally amazing guys, it kinda reminds of one of Top Gears epic road trips. You're like the new Clarkson, Hammond and May. Love the humour, love chemistry you guys have and can't wait for your next trip. ✌

After almost a year of lockdowns and travel bans, and with Michigan still stuck in winter weather I needed a pick me up. Watched the whole thing last night for the third time. Thanks for lifting my spirit.

Just made my way through this series very late to the party, awesome trip and great video series

Wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed this series of videos. I’m amazed by the quality of images and production you turn out in such a short time. I’ve been unwell and off the bike for a few weeks and these have been a real tonic - thanks Francis, Lawrence and James. Safe travels home.

*SIMPLY INCREDIBLE* thanks for taking such time and dedication to bring this art to us, them image stills at the end were sublime, could be at an art exhibition!!!!! Nice one mate, keeps me inspired and hungry to make content like this.

JAPAN! Incredible trip as always. This has been amazing to follow along with during a period when I've been forced off the bike. Lovely to ride vicariously with you guys. Keep up the awesome work.

Francis, thanks for making reference recently of your Vietnam trip saying to go back and watch on one of your latest videos. I’ve just finished watching your entire trip and I enjoyed your entire journey it was amazing. I Love James humor even more now, no matter what hit you guys he was still able to have enough energy to dance. I can’t wait till COVID is over and all of you can hit the road again getting out of your hometowns.

This series is genuinely one of the best things I’ve seen on RU-vid. Need to support on Patreon so that you can do more.

This has concluded me watching your USA, Australia and then this trip back to back. So inspiring! Got my first road bike in the middle of last year, and these videos have really inspired me to go out on an adventure. Thank you for all your content, genuinely found it so uplifting over the last year.

Awesome! When I was in HCMC I rented a bike at Mr Biker Saigon and they gave me a GPX tour around the countryside. Best shop in Vietnam!

The pictures at the end! What a great video series. Thank you Francis.

Just watched the whole of Project Vietnam. Probably the best thing I’ve ever seen on RU-vid. Absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Well done lads 👍

Quality of your videos Francis are amazing. Been binge watching recently and these bike packing trip series are awesome. Getting to see what most tourist will never see traveling in these counties. Looking forward to see where the next one will end up.

Sad that the ride ended. This was so much fun to watch. They might as well shut down RU-vid until the next one because nothing else will compare to this at least in this space. Well done!! I can't wait to see what you guys come up next. Thank you for taking us along for the ride.

Love that The Basement's first production probably wasn't even editted in the basement. Top stuff. More of this

Super thanks for taking us along, enjoyed every bit!

Great trip, great dancing, great views, food. Amazing videos and a pleasure to watch from start to finish. Great work .

Got to be south America or Africa next. ✌🏼

Thanks for sharing your adventure. I’m an American riding my bicycle in the Philippines. I’ve done several group rides but just day rides. I’m inspired by your channel and plan to do some multi day bike packing adventures in 2020. I’m not a professional vloggers but I’ll share on my YT channel for memories.

Binge watched over the last few days - very enjoyable and a beautiful country.

Just binged on the lot, brilliant to watch thanks. Africa, India, south America, China, Sri Lanka and so many other places to ride

It doesn't matter where you go as long as each day contains a) epic descent footage b) 120fps drone footage c) a custodial sentence for anyone who dances in bib shorts. Well played lads.

Just finished watching all 21 episodes! Awesome job great 10 min episodes kept me interested the whole time. Well done guys for completing the ride and thank you for filming it all I enjoyed every episode 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Wow. Just watched the complete series. You should be proud of this production , excellent work. A joy to watch .

Pro tip for heat. Where I live it is 33 to 38 degrees 6 months per year (and 200,000 Vietnamese live here). A pill of acetaminophen (Tylenol or paracetamol) helps keep you from overheating while riding in those conditions. This is the most amazing bike packing video series in history. I've been transfixed by it, but I understand that you guys need a good long rest. How to top it? Maybe top to bottom of Japan? Peru and Ecuador? Shanghai to Xian?

Mate, that was amazing. I also am sad that this is over. It was like being on the trip with you guys. The three of you are the best mix. Cheers to you boys and your adventures.

This project has been awesome to witness, especially now that travel for tourism is virtually shut down on our side of the world. Thanks for the ride, Francis!

Love the way you guys talking and felling about my country. Big thumb up from Hanoi, VN.

Dudes…. really loved watching you guys. Looked like you had such a great time. Thank you

Day 1 to day 21 finished. What a spectacular adventure. Love your videos mate.

That was bloody amazing boys, thanks for the laughs and the experience!

stumbled upon this series searching for Wilier Jena, glad i watched every epsiode, great filming, editing, and what seems to be great friendship. looking forward to more travel stories. James' dancing is great!

Canadian Vietnamese here; just discovered and watched this series; in awe at production quality - simply superb, top notch; also envious of y'all - this is on my bucket list, post-pandemic; this is what living a life to the fullest looks like; this is the magic that memories are made of; congrats and thank you for making this

When you feel like you were part of the adventure at the end, you know that was an awesome series you just watched! Great job!

Great adventure, guys. I've enjoyed watching each and every video from Francis and Lawrence. Also 10/10 outro on this one!

Thanks guys, I loved each and every bit!

Thanks guys, that was excellent. Enjoy your next adventure.

Brilliant series, amazingly entertaining stuff. The 3 of you together works really well.

I have enjoyed watching all 21 episodes of this series! Such a beauty to watch! Can't wait for the next series.

Started with Project US then AUS and to PROJECT VIETNAM. You guys are an inspiration for me to continue cycling and push thru with my vlogs. Ride safe guys!

Voodoo Child was the best possible outro for the series, binge watched the whole thing

It became a routine to watch you three legends in 🇻🇳 every afternoon, don’t know what I will be doing now actually 🤷‍♂️ Really enjoyed it, bring on the next one!

Properly special. From start to finish. Loved every minute of it. Thanks gents! Much respect! (Next time inner-tubes AND sealant) 😁

what a perfectly captured super adventure! I greatly enjoyed all the episodes

My humble Philippines . There lots of great views in Luzon... Plus our English is good... You love it here? I promise....... : )

Just finished watching Project Vietman, thanks for the ride guys!

Next Project Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Have to join the waves of praise. Fun to watch. Canada coast to coast would be an epic ride (one that I've been dreaming of myself).

super adventure, awesome country, thanks for filming/sharing.

Really enjoyed watching these videos! 3 good mates riding and having a laugh. Well done fellas 👍

Japan during cherry blossom season! It make a great background for the ride

THAT was the single best thing I saw on RU-vid in years.

I have to agree with the vast majority of comments. This has been an excellent series to watch. Got me thinking about a little adventure in 2020. This is what life is all about. Well done chaps. How about New Zealand? My favourite country and the scenery is outrageous!

I'm not usually a huge fan of travel vlogs or vlogs in general but I was genuinely entertained watching this. You've really got a talent for making these. Thank you for sharing this, I really appreciated watching. Also i'd be very interested in more informational videos about cycling gear, maintenance/repair, bike fits, and training from you if you get the chance. Most of the informational cycling RU-vidrs I've come across aren't as good as you at making videos interesting. Like I'd definitely watch more collaborations with mechanics and coaches and custom bike makers and such if you did more videos like that (or a playlist of the videos that have bits of information/ conversations with coaches since I've noticed that some of your videos like that aren't listed in the tips playlist). Even just a small biking tip here and there in your vlogs would be much appreciated, I almost feel slightly guilty spending so much time watching your videos since I just feel like I should be doing something more productive

Come and do New Zealand 🇳🇿 check out Tour DeAotearoa for a route but can be mixed up to ad time to this

What's next? Take a look at Cape Sata to Cape Soya, Japan from South to North, 3,000 Km or more if you are in a playful mood, climbing can be aplenty if you feel like it. Thank you for sharing the Viet Nam series. The award for the Best Actor goes to James - the dancer, the fixer, the joker, the planner, the swearer.

Only just got round to watching Vietnam, throughly enjoyed it, brilliant watch very entertaining! Good on ya mate 👍

Thanks for the awesome videos. Also bring Chris on the next trip if he can. Would be an epic addition to the group!

San Diego to Carbo San Lucas down the Bahia peninsula. Excellent Vietnam ride guys 👍👍👍

Love to see you guys bike the river trails of South korea its beautiful and challenging

WONDERFULL THE END... j'ai adoré votre balade IN VIETNAM...portez vous bien et bonnes fêtes de Noel et de fin d'année 2019...

Thank you guys for this amazing trip. I love this team!!

What am I going to do before the day starts with out your vlogg travel 🤨 Thankyou so much guys ..brilliant... Even with James fall and Lawrence’s comp and phone disasters you three are true omegos And don’t ever change your ability to be awed by your surroundings James 🥰 that was magic sharing genuine child like wonder .....it is a shame we loose that as we get older Can’t wate for the next trip ...from grandma an old lady reliving the past Huggs to you all

F...... brilliant, I saved up every episode for a rainy day. That rainy day finally came after a long cold damp bike ride on Christmas day!! Spent the last few days in bed with a fever binge watching every episode, fantastic!! Where next? Eastern Europe, Poland and across the old Russian states, you will defiantly find a land that time forgot, even in Poland!! So when you coming?

So its now 2021 and I've just watched these! Absolutely amazing trip, makes me want to do the same thing as soon as all this coronavirus stuff Is over and done with.

Wow. Had no idea about this channel let alone this series! One of the best things I seen on RU-vid! Now hunting through the rest of your content👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

Absolutely bloody ripper mate well done!

Epic. Not sure how (or why) I stumbled across this series but it hooked me in! Amazing and wonderful to watch. Sorry it’s done but you must be shattered. Thanks for the ride...and Happy Christmas! PS I’ve always wanted to to NZ so...

Wonderful stuff gents👌🏻 this is the RU-vid content I signed up for 🙌🏻

Epic. Thanks for sharing the journey!

Epic lads!! This series/trip has been unreal and looked like it was some craic. Thanks for bringing us along 💪

Francis, it’s taken me ages to get around to watching this and I’ve binged on it today. The bikes, the trip, the country, the scenery, the music, the banter.....man that was epic.....I mean epic. So inspiring in that I want / need a 2 wheel road trip and it’s winter....and ruddy lockdown !!!! Thanks man, for the entertainment, the hilarity and the sanity. 👏👏👏👏👏

Baja divide trail in Mexico. Love your work guys, best project to date!

Hope you guys do another epic ride here in the Philippines!! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 Amazing adventure you guys did! Makes me want to dabble in to bikepacking!

epic! just finished the series and enjoyed it a lot

Fantastic series man. Beautifully shot and edited. Looks like a hell of a lot of fun. Obviously your next trip won’t be for a while but Taiwan or South Korea would be amazing. Taiwan you get an amazing juxtaposition between the urbanised west coast and the much more rural feeling east coast and the massive mountains in the middle and the people were amazing. South Korea is pretty small but the scenery, people and food are also amazing. Hopefully you can get out there and do another one of these soon.

COME TO CANADA

you guys did a wonderful job of capturing the world on 2 wheels, behind bars, human powered ... brilliant. One thought I've had whilst watching these; cities, pollution and traffic, it's not what its about even though I know you're chasing a cultural experience. Maybe the world is just too overcrowded now to truly experience what travelers used to see, raw culture, without the mayhem of traffic overlaying every experience. Dunno, have to wonder, I'm at the point where I'd prefer to travel and ride in less populated places, so there's New Zealand, Canada and Russia

Absolutely amazing journey that was both stunning and testing Congratulations to the three of you deadset legends

well done on finishing the project. having been laid up with flu for the last 2 weeks i've had to enjoy living vicariously through you guys. personally i liked projects usa & australia more as it seems they were more about the physical and endurance aspects of the challenge. having done north america, australia and asia i think the next one has to be europe or south america. maybe it should be patagonia...you can ride a long way through argentina before arriving at that epic landscape.

Another great series, can’t believe I didn’t stick with this project 6 months ago. So glad I have ‘completed it mate’ chapeau guys!

This project was spectacular and enjoyed every bit of it. I am rooting for New Zealand. But if you do, I'll have to come with you.

Well done gents. Thanks for letting us tag along again. Your personalities are well suited to this kind of adventure. Now you just have to teach all of London how traffic should "flow like water" -- easy.

Excellent adventure, it’s like coming to the end of a great box set, pleased to see what happens but disappointed there are no more episodes to look forward to. Until a little while at least.

Just watched for the second time, still amazing! Come to Brasil guys!

Amazing series. I rode through Vietnam on a moped a couple of years ago with some friends and this captures the mood and feel so well. Perhaps Hanoi, to Laos and northern Thailand? Mountainous, remote but cooler than further south.

Excellent series looking forward to the next one

it has been an adventure and an inspiration Francis and crew! i would like to be in your next adventure! if its Taiwan!!

Top drawer from start to finish ... the hijinks, the lowspots, from majestic scenery to city mayhem ... but the people and the camaraderie was the cherry on top!! Safe travels home and a happy holiday season to you all!

I loved every minute of these episodes... superb.

Amazing journey! A full bike tear down and pros/cons review of bike packing stuff would be super interesting. Someone in the comments mentioned Kenya, I would agree, but maybe also Morocco. Japan would be cool, it’s been a dream of mine to cycle but it also might be too predictable and civilized for you guys ;)

Just found this gem of a series! Absolutely blow away by the cinematography and everything. Awesome work by all three of you! I can't believe how you keep the smiles up even after that horrible rain. I would love to do something like this, but I don't have any cyclingfriends to do it with. That's why there's a good thing Francis has me covered! Thanks alot! Oh and by the way, James is a totaly awesome thing of a man! Much love and keep on cycling!

Francis you actual GOAT 🐐

Quite an adventure. I enjoyed all of them. Can't wait to see your next.

Egads! Big props to youse for the narrative and Vietnam for the stage. And Jimi H for a fitting outro.

Great job all three of you,I must admit I have enjoyed your journey in Vietnam with its ups and downs along the way have a safe trip home boys 👍

Wonderful series again Francis. I especially like the montage at the end, The photo of Lawrence fixing a puncture in the forest is wonderful. And Hendrix as final outro tune great choice IMO.
