    As I started listening to Brian talk about cancer patients and the positive effect and the joy it brings by having them engage cycling camps to provide a little relief in their battle to stay alive, I could not help but think about my 10yo daughter who passed away of brain tumor just over 1 year ago. She loved cycling, swimming, and running. I'm an avid cyclist but these days and since she was diagnosed cycling became much more that a pursuit of fitness or a place to connect with friends. Brian, on behalf of all cancer patients and their forever affected families: THANK YOU!

      @@larsjakobsen6733 thanks for the info. Foundations such as The Flamme Rouge and Make a Wish are not just inspirational but the give patients hope. My daughter Juliana had her wish granted during her ordeal with DIPG, the deadliest pediatric tumor there is. Often these wishes are just a glimpse but they will create memories to last forever. My respect to Brisn and the Flamme Rouge!

    Holm is a great guy. As a young kid, his manager car stopped in front of me and my family spectating the tour from the road in Andorra. Holm peeked out from the rolled down window and cracked a mild joke in his excellent humor as to how great it was to see some fellow Danes in these "awfully hot regions". He then stuck out his hand a bunch souvenirs for us and wished us a good holiday. Seeing Holm doing charity work doesn't surprise me. Holm understands the worth of the individual suffering, pays respect to the common fan and also works passionately to improve the rights of an entire new workforce of cyclists. Massive respect to him, truly a lad to be worth a mention.

    Brian is on of reasons I startet ridning. That combined with the fact that I have lost both my parentes to cancer it was clear that had to ride La Flamme Rough clothing. Hopefully I`ll be able to support Brians thing for a long time.

    My favorite videos on TH-cam. Matt is a great interviewer and his guests on the Cafe Ride have been just as entertaining. It's great to see another side of these cyclists who we have all watched for years. There's always some topic comes up that raises a good laugh. Great fun.

  • @tuttobicci
    @tuttobicci 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Absolutely agree about acknowledging other riders. The Essex lanes on a Sunday morning are awash with people who are either don't know or are just rude. Also agree with Brian's comment about there being lots of riders who can win. Definitely makes the sport more interesting. Just look at how good sprinters can now climb. That top tube frame pump brings back good memories.

I knew the bike would be expensive but £600 for the shoes?!?!?
