Without a doubt, one of the greatest things I get from being a Dad is riding bikes with my kids...truly nothing else even comes close. Keep making content!
Absolutely beautiful extended intro my man. Wow! Your best edit yet and what a great memory for the family. Miss some OG Cycling Maven. Cheers from Nashville USA!
Hey, your young fellar is gonna remember those rides and that other stuff forever. Great Dadding! Jeeez you poor buggars, 200+ days! We've done a couple of months, go hard get it done (Auckland NZ) .
The content is beautifully shot yet simple enough that most can feel inspired to create something similar. I think it's your editing that really polishes a good video to a great video. The flow is brilliant and music perfect. Lovely stuff.
thanks for the update my man. We had a lockdown here in Texas( not as strict), but thankfully it is far behind us. Anyways dude as a dad and cyclist, I love your content! I really appreciate whatever you put out, as Ive been a fan for like 4-5 years at this point.
Lovely sensitive film. You are ,in fact a top class film maker! Been watching your stuff for years and there is a lovely quality developing in your work. Great to see some bike content with you riding,but life is bigger than that.
Great to see you back Mark - I watched the channel a lot back in the day, and loved the videos. Seems we faced the same challenges of new kids and life changes etc - I'm also upping my mileage and trying to shift some of these covid kilos! Will be checking in on your vids, and keeping motivated. Ride On!
Thanks Maven, being in Singapore your videos remind me of home. The bird song is such a joy to hear. Keep up the great work. As for the anti bird nesting ideals, steel wool works a treat I hear. Bunnings might have a big ball you can spread out and put in the basket.
There isn't a street in Melbourne I haven't ridden down (former messenger). Never thought I'd miss it, but living outside Metro now it is something I hope one day to do again!
OMG that brought back memories of Wobbies World for any Melbournians who use to watch The Late Show.. they took the absolute piss out of it! Shut down yrs ago
The day i. arrived in melbourne there was an earthquake, i was in the elizabeth hotel at the top of elizabeth street and despite it being a 5 i snoozed all through it, totally gutted i missed it, sept 96
Jack looks like he'd be a little ripper on a BMX track, there's plenty of them around Melbourne and I'm sure they'll offer Strider sessions. Best way to get his bike skills progressing at his age.
Hannah the inventor. LOL. I’ve seen people hanging DVD média or shine things in the balcony to scare pigeons. I wonder if it would work. Also, you can get a cat or falcon stuffed toy. Hanna would approve the idea. 😂
Great, it might be a very bad movie then. Get Jack to build a shine wind spinner and they won't be back anytime soon. Keep the videos coming and your debt will be forgotten.
I think I know what you mean but it is interesting how our language has changed to say “our life is basically normal” apart from not being able to go out, eat at restaurants, fly to see your parents here in WA or in NZ etc etc.
Yep I hear you. I've learned that no matter what the circumstances, I need to keep a positive attitude or I easily fall into a bad mental place. Having said that, all this shit happening in Melbourne isn't lost on me.
@@cyclingmaven I was living in Melbourne last year through the first lockdown so I know full well of the stresses it puts on relationships as well as your own mental well being. I’m not sure my marriage would have stayed intact if I didn’t have the opportunity to come home. It is certainly sad that the real impact of this virus doesn’t show up in any statistics the government and media highlight. Stay strong mate.
@@cyclingmaven Watching from afar, it’s not ok what’s happening in Melbourne. It’s bad enough in other places but you guys have completely lost your minds. I’m sorry you are going through this, and your feelings of “this is not ok” are totally justified.
Thanks mate. Just checked him out, what an awesome channel. Lots of non-dialogue tripod shots so yes, very similar. Kraig Adams, Will Darbyshire and Tim to the wild do very similar style videos.

Great video, Mark! Good to see you guys cruising along. Thanks for the update!

Thanks Scott, appreciate the insight.
These shots at the start. Magic.
Keep yah chin up maven in these dark times,family is everything and the bike is an added extra,stay safe your all cracking humans 🙏🏻

Awe thanks Felix appreciate it.
Yes , we back 🙌 👏 💪
This will be beautiful memories for your family in the years to come mate ! Love it
Thanks bro, yep for sure.
Loved "The Late Show" clip, the D Generation guys were amazing, stay safe down there, good to see you putting out awesome content.
Moving to Melbourne in a month. Looks fantastic!
Meanwhile most Melbournians can’t wait to leave! Lifelong Melbounian, from Mavens hood too - it’s a hole, don’t do it
@@thedownunderverse Because of COVID lockdowns?
Gorgeous times with the family.
Always a good day when Maven's on a bike!
Just watched again, miss you maven and your natural film making 🤙
Good to see you again, Maven.
That was fabulous Mark.
Fantastic Vlog about your family with Jack on his bike. Regarding the pigeons, it could have been worse, it might have been pelicans!
Great video Mark! I love watching and seeing your kids growing up! Jack has no fear on those downhills!! 😀
What a little ripper Jack is! Keep it up mate and cheers from the US.
Great to see you back
Jack absolutely fly's on that thing 👍 This was a great watch. Can't wait for my little lad to come out on rides with me when he's a bit older
Another awesome vid mate.

Great vlog Mark 👍
My Maven T shirt is looking a bit sad , time for a new range 😀
Mate how good was the quality of those shirts though. Mine lasted ages.
Was that the Brunswick Velodrome? When I visit my daughter I run all up the Merri Creek trails with her dog.
Hawthorn Velo
There isn't a street in Melbourne I haven't ridden down (former messenger). Never thought I'd miss it, but living outside Metro now it is something I hope one day to do again!
Great video Maven! Glad you mentioned the protestors. Wish you would show them more support.
He likes being told he cant do what he and his family want to do. He just said that. It's a sad world we live in.
Mate! Keep up the great work!
Your “Piss Weak World” joke was hilarious. Cheers from the USA!
Ya bloody legend Mark👍
I miss you Maven! Greetings from Germany! ❤
Vicious solution to the pigeons haha. Try a plastic model owl from Bunnings.......dunno if it works though!
OMG that brought back memories of Wobbies World for any Melbournians who use to watch The Late Show.. they took the absolute piss out of it! Shut down yrs ago
Mate - how rad is your boy! I love heading out riding with my lad (5), its quality.
The day i. arrived in melbourne there was an earthquake, i was in the elizabeth hotel at the top of elizabeth street and despite it being a 5 i snoozed all through it, totally gutted i missed it, sept 96
Maven is back!
CV is never going to be gone. I was wondering about you guys everytime I see the crazy shit I see on tv happening in Victoria.
Love your content man
Just brilliant Mark. Your posts are akin to light on the hill. Can’t wait to see how you intro a Demons flag to the maven world.
@Maven come back! we need some videos! Pump it up!!
Quality Oakleigh content as always, thank you!
Link to the Zwift Maven? Cheers
The link in the description has everything mate.
Maven uploads, Maven delivers 💪
Jack looks like he'd be a little ripper on a BMX track, there's plenty of them around Melbourne and I'm sure they'll offer Strider sessions. Best way to get his bike skills progressing at his age.
Mate I def want to get him into this when things open up.
Pretty soon Jack will be able to do all the camera setups. :D
Never underestimate the practicality of a kick stand on a bike.....
Game changer

Bro, we tried this DVD thing yesterday. Haven't seen the birds since. I owe you a beer.
Great, it might be a very bad movie then. Get Jack to build a shine wind spinner and they won't be back anytime soon. Keep the videos coming and your debt will be forgotten.

Stockholm syndrome.
@@garrymullins I think he wants to say more (and against what's going on), but is worried he's going to get grief in the comments. I don't blame him.

Hey sir, what camera are you using? Looks super good 👍🏽
Lumix S5 for the outdoor shots and a GH5 for the seated talking head parts.
What bike are you commuting on? Great video!
@@UnhingedHarry Yep Surly LHT. 26" version.
Why don’t you buy a ball and put it in the basket, then glad wrap the basket?
I'll try that.
Ummm that opening intro was really, really…. Good!
Thanks bro.
See a new cycling maven video, click like. Thems the rules.
Great video and your boy is faster on a bike than you haha
Excellent video mark. Your new style reminds me of ‘my self reliance’ channel. You should check him out - similar vibes
Thanks mate. Just checked him out, what an awesome channel.
Lots of non-dialogue tripod shots so yes, very similar. Kraig Adams, Will Darbyshire and Tim to the wild do very similar style videos.
Better than any other investment you could ever make! You are truly a rich man.
Didn't Hanna realise it was an Earthquake being a Kiwi?
Yeah she knew straight away. She was chill asf.
Pigeon: 1
Maven: 0
