Watching these videos have been a delightful part of my daily routine now. Big kudos to Francis and Justin but also everyone who's helped with this trip, from the donators to the kind strangers! Happy Thanksgiving everyone 🙏
Don’t know how you’re still in one piece after so many days in that hand bike, Justin. You sound and look a lot better now, keep up the magnificent effort. The videos of you both are pure inspiration. 👏👏👏👏
“McGyver the shit out of the situation”. Richard Dean Anderson would be proud. Now all you need is some gum, a piece of string and a bottle cap and you can make a whole new hand bike!😂🤣
Great video - the candor is appreciated, Justin. By the time the two of you have completed the objective, you will be able to write and produce a treatise on hand bike product development from the rider & riding/support partner perspective. What an opportunity to inform and improve the equipment for kids with Get Kids Going as a basis. I salute you both. #respect #whatajourney. 🙌🙏👏
Far less visible pain than I expected from the one chip challenge. Wouldn't mind an update as to whether the pain does arrive the day after per the earlier advice ha. Keep on rolling lads!
That is both an awesome bit of kit but yes, completely the wrong bit of kit for the job. Kudos Justin for taking this on with that machine! Well done Rob, You made a lot of people happy they didn't have to eat the chip.
Hahahah you did a comparison next to a golf cart going 15km/hour. Honestly this is one of the best near real time series I’ve seen. Love how you guys solve unexpected problems as bikers do
You've ridden across the entire south & haven't eaten grits??? This has been a great trek, I'm enjoying every second. You were only a few hours from me for several segments.
Thanks for the Carbide bike check. The 'ol 650c, yeah, I can see why you have some disdain for this bike nowadays, and because we haven't seen you cross one in any video I would not have thought about speed bumps and that clearance. Now I want to see the bike he was going to have built for this trip, haha. Post-ride bike check request please! Also looks like a good time was had for the yankee thanksgiving. Hope it was the respite you needed/wanted. We're thankful to you and your sharing of your adventure. ❤
I had a similar thought "how would you change Justin's bike to make it more suited for touring" but I think the way you said it is better. Seeing the bike that Justin was hoping to use would be great. I've had a sneaking suspicion that Justin's ability to see on that bike is terrible.
Think I spied a Tririg front caliper on there as well - aero gainzzzzz. The TTer's favourite ;) Keep up the good work gents. Really enjoying this series
Oh snap, a new video today! I thought we'd have an off day so you could focus on resting, but you guys look like you are feeling pretty well! Great video. So nice that you guys got to relax and have fun with friends. Rob's family is darling, and Rob is a star on camera! Gonna miss his appearances once you are back on the road. Way to take one for the cause, Rob :). I had thought you might contact Madiline for advice on how to best protect Justin's shell from any further deterioration from the damage it's gotten, but something tells me they might not take your call. It was nice to get a little flash of Francis' video production chops today. The story has been the star of the show most of this trip, but that segment between :14 and :30 was extra pro :) Many easter eggs in today's video for people that have been keeping up with the comments 👍. I'd guess you are on the road again today (Friday). Try to avoid any large retails businesses :)
Well that explains why Justin is so fast, race bike, appreciate the honest review. Thanks Rod for doing the one chip challenge and sparing the boys the agony, hope it didn't burn all the way down and out.
Wow. Great education on the hand bike. I’m doing the Face of America ride with adaptive riders in April from Virginia to Pennsylvania and these videos have gotten me so pumped!!! Been catching up on the videos I missed and glad to see someone ate that chip. How much food coloring was in that sucker?
Happy holiday guys! Your videos are fun to watch! It's very surprising you get so many punctures during the trip, if you're on Conti-s. True, I'm a skinny one, but for like 12 years of using the tires, I only had 3 punctures. All ending with a big "kabooom" :D. None of so called slow punctures or bulges on a sidewall. Killer-lasting ones, must say!
Loving these daily videos, I'm along for the adventure with you guys. How about popping into a hardware store for a protective mask of some sorts for Justin to wear while riding for the next rain/downpour. Might help prevent any further bugs..? Just an idea Francis. Keep up the good work 🚴🚴🤜
Thanks for detailing his setup. I suppose a race bike isn't ideal for touring, both for hand bikes and foot bikes. I took a look at some hand bikes earlier on in your trip and they definitely aren't cheap. Understandable that adjustments had to be made to the bike he already had.
I’d be really interested in the resulting design for an alternative hand bike that comes from this. There are clearly improvements possible for others and you
Hey Justin. Put the shwalbe tyres on! They are comfortable aaand they will save you power so you'll suffer less. Having Francis around is enough :) Sorry Francis :D
Integrated hangers are the worst. Had one on a road bike and when it broke, had to trash the whole frame. No carbon repair shop would touch it. (Carbon Frame with integrated aluminum hanger)
Good to get a closer look at Justins bike.... Kinda as I expected it was a pure race bike and really not fit for a trip like this at all. If it's that low slung how have you got this far? Everything I've heard of American "bike lanes" and infrastructure(confirmed in the vids) is that they are just dumping grounds for sh*te from cars and trucks..... (Maybe the carbon schmarbon approach to "fast touring" on both rigs wasn't so wise- recommended bedtime reading "The Tortoise and the Hare" by Aesop lol)....But best of luck and stay safe lads, I'm sure if you'd done it on appropriate kit this would be very predictably uneventful!!!!!😂
I wonder if it's possible for Justin's hand bike rear wheels to be quick release and the right size for his chair. Then he can swap them out at the end of the day when bike packing? One less set to carry?
No it’s just unstable, a combination of too much weight, high centre of gravity (wheelchair wheels on top) and exceeding the speed limit of the trailer (15mph).
It's unfortunate that Justin's bike is unsuitable for the trip in just about every respect. Just have to get a suitable one made and have another trip.
Watching these videos have been a delightful part of my daily routine now. Big kudos to Francis and Justin but also everyone who's helped with this trip, from the donators to the kind strangers! Happy Thanksgiving everyone 🙏
Same here! I have a newborn baby at home and everyone morning before work I watch it with her LOL.
Same. I watch and like daily to provide a small token of support. Just a great uplifting series
The close up on Rob’s mum in the end😂you never fail to crack me up, Francis! Love watching these videos 😄
What an inspiration Justin is to all cyclists to not let anything stop you from riding. All the best!
I love the hosts sitting there watching you make this. So cool.
Great tour of the hand bike. Did Rob even break a sweat? Damn, that boy can handle his heat. 🤠
Amazingly no he didn’t which didn’t make sense because he sweats when he eats curry 🤪

*_One Chip Trooper_* well done ... although your mom nearly disowned you! Also, thanks for the bike check Justin.
Far less visible pain than I expected from the one chip challenge. Wouldn't mind an update as to whether the pain does arrive the day after per the earlier advice ha.
Keep on rolling lads!

He took one for the kids!! Chapeau!
adapting and overcoming despite a less than optimal gear setup ... keep charging; be safe, ride safe
Justin you would be a brilliant QVC salesman 😂 "Hey everybody this product is s*it, now watch me cycle across America on it " 😐😂
But he did say the bike was comfy so maybe it should just be a chaise lounge for a study or something.
I want to see Rob in the morning… as I am sure everyone else following this journey does. 😂😂😂
Ok, I was laughing my ass off watching that poor man suffer from the heat! I know, I'm a bad person but it was funny!
thanks for the video Francis Justin you sound much better
3:50 "With your hands on the ground" I literally lolled.
Mad props braddah!
Very interesting spec of your hand bike Justin👏. Comfort over spec on this 3000 mile trip 👍 One chip challenge bravo ! 👏
Next up Francis's turn ! 😉🥵
You've ridden across the entire south & haven't eaten grits??? This has been a great trek, I'm enjoying every second. You were only a few hours from me for several segments.
Damn, never been this early. Nice breakdown lads
"The people that made this are straight evil" Most Texan thing said on this channel (so far).
This has been such an awesome daily ritual to get into, checking for the new update from you lads. Hope today's ride was a great one. :)
Great to see you spend time with friends and recover. Should be huge morale boost for the rest of the trip. Keep going.
Thanks for the Carbide bike check.

Could have made a whole video on the one chip challenge! Lol. Cool to see Justin's setup and all it's flaws. 😝
Am hoping they get to the west coast and turn back. Otherwise I’ll miss my daily hit.
I take it when you say ‘ wiv ‘ you mean with !
REQUEST please : the One Chip Challenge Re-Cap = 12 & 24 hr. After Highlights !! Haha !!
They need to make a touring version. They should hire you as a consultant
probably wouldn't hire him as a marketing rep though!
"Oh, hi mom"
".. no, no no."
Oh dear
Shoutout to all the people who have got a clue who Mcgyver is !!! Richard Dean Anderson legend
Well that explains why Justin is so fast, race bike, appreciate the honest review. Thanks Rod for doing the one chip challenge and sparing the boys the agony, hope it didn't burn all the way down and out.
inspirational video - good look with the rest of your trip.

Great to see the hand bike setup! Poor Justin...
If possible, I'd love to see your camera setup sometime!
A good honest review of the bike Justin
Just special..👌
8:38 Gig'em!!
Thanks Francis and Justin ....
Hope you guys had a wonderful Thanksgiving & rest day!
Interesting to see Justin bike.
6:17 "so that's good" famous words by the man himself Francis cade
Any food you have to wear gloves to eat is probably a mistake!
Rob clearly has experience with this sort of food!
been waiting for this

Here's to hoping the bike holds together the rest of the trip!

See you at the top❤
Thanks for the run down on the bike! Is that the bike you raced in the Olympics? We want to know more!!
Hey Justin. Put the shwalbe tyres on! They are comfortable aaand they will save you power so you'll suffer less. Having Francis around is enough :)
Sorry Francis :D
I 💓🚴
Very disappointed that we didn't get a Francis Cam while he was on the handbike :)
What is that caller the bike it looks so cool
Burns twice those spicy chips 🤪

Not much single track or even gravel huh? Enjoy the traffic, Justin.
So much for that sponsorship deal…..
C’mon ENGLAND!!!!🎉
I live in texas by texas am. College station tx
That cable hitting your arm must drive you crazy ? !
One chip challenege was the most underwhelming thing since Elon Musk Truck reveal.
Brutal comparison. The truck that never was.
Gonna burn on the way out too pal 💩
Put vaseline on the brake cable
Why exactly doesn’t the trailer work on your bike? Is it the thru axle that is not the right fit for the bike?
No it’s just unstable, a combination of too much weight, high centre of gravity (wheelchair wheels on top) and exceeding the speed limit of the trailer (15mph).
Hellooo
where in Houston are you? I'll get you some Taco Bell
what's the wheel size? 650c?
It's unfortunate that Justin's bike is unsuitable for the trip in just about every respect. Just have to get a suitable one made and have another trip.
The trip is so cool. Met you on Radrace Tour de Friends III. Surly donate some money for #getkidsgoing.
