it is very nice to see you home and happy. many times full-time travelers get depressed when they get home, but then again you are blessed with a loving family. Enjoy your down time!
AWESOME Ben. Your videos are simply the best! After watching you cycling vlogs ive decided to buy a bike so now i'm on the road aswell:) You have inspired me to do so many things! thanks!
Your enthusiasm for biking conquers common sense. I so relate to that! And it feels like part of the tapestry that gives you next a surprise reunion with your canoeing mates. Because you're out there following your heart. ("Mates" is my attempt to speak British.) I liked how one of your friends said "Touch", when you put out your fist, and clasped it. Very cool really. Looking forward to your happy times in Cape Town! Thanks!
Didn't even have to watch the video before liking it and then realized at the end that I wanted to like it again. Ben Brown vlogs in a nutshell for me :)
ben your vlogs are hands down the best !!! can't wait for cape town vlogs with Nicole ! i hope come to chicago sometime it would be awesome to meet you
You seem more well rested Ben, Which is a good thing to see! Love seeing Alfie, he is so adorable!! Definitely checking out Nicole's blog in a few minutes, miss seeing her in your vlogs! well then love your vlogs Ben! appreciate all the work you put into it and cant wait to see your next one!! love your visual vibes videos as well THE BEST EVER! :)
Always good to run into old chums Funny how your hair looks just as good messed up ! Love your new approach to music ..... add sparsely when appropriate :)
Hi Nice bike, what length of stem ?120-130mm, not sure if its the GoPro making it look longer than it is. To avoid the bonk I usually carry emergency jelly beans or some dates in one of those small ziplock bags and carry it in the jersey pocket.
Was that an event at botts farm? I think my older sister was doing some Fire Hooping at a thing like that this weekend, not sure if it's the same one though. Glad to see you're getting to enjoy your bike again :)
middle aged parties are the best! was at a friend's leaving do the other week and there were so many adult family members more raucous than our group, and at the rhythm & blues festival near me i always have the BEST time dancing my limbs off with middle aged drunkard strangers. best. nights.
ben i really liked ur hair at the beginning of the video. it looked cute and was a nice change from the usual. not that the usual is bad or anything :)
Just read Nicoles blog post, im pretty sure i remember you vlogging the whole ordeal! You better come to Calgary the next time youre in Canada . Ok love you bye x
I can assure you that you are able to walk tomorrow and are in fact in high spirits because of this ride. Ugh, this you tube time travel is a failure because you can only read this in the present time.
Hey Ben,greetings from Malaysia! :) Was wondering,how do you learn photography and are there any books worth mentioning about learning photography? I'm really interested in venturing into photography but i don't know where to start.Love your videos and keep up the great work! :)
You're vlogs really inspire me to do the same someday. Also I can't sleep because I've just got back from Mexico and it's 6 hours rapier there! Any tips for jetlag?
Do you use energy gels or bars when you ride? Aparently your body has enough energy to sustain you for 2 hours of bike riding before it switches to fat for energy, probley why you hit the wall after just over 2 hours, take some energy bars with you and eat about one an hour, but eat it over time not all at once, put an eltrolite tablet in your drink to replace salts you loose from sweat, that way you wont feel so bad the next day. I do all this myself and find it helps allot so give it a go, love your videos by the way keep it up man :-) torq make some really good energy products btw
I would just like to say thank you for inspiring me to get into o road riding. I did mtbing for a while and always saw road biking as super serious and full of dipping and Lycra. I now see that it is just the second one and is a great community to be part of! Also, is there a Brownies Strava club?
When and for how long r u going to Cape Town Ben? Awesome vlogs man, spent the last week just catching up on 20+ vlogs while I was away :3 keep up the hard work! ;)
only a few weeks then off to Toronto for a bit then straight back to Cape Town for ages :) then maybe back to the UK for a bit of cold weather then back to Cape Town again! Who knows I might not come back for a while!!
What's the delivery like from topo designs because I'm really interested in getting a bag for school. I ordered a pair of dr martens and that was a complete fail as it takes like a week to turn up :)
***** did you used a special case for the gopro at the bikeride? or just nothing cause the sound is so good. Ps: I love your Vlogs and they are pushing me everyday. Thanks man! :) Greets from Austria! ;)
How do you manage your background music? I cannot download the track and it says nothing about free use. Do you contact every artist to use the music? This must be very time consuming.
it is very nice to see you home and happy. many times full-time travelers get depressed when they get home, but then again you are blessed with a loving family. Enjoy your down time!
I'm super lucky, I love coming home :)
I've been subscribed for ages now and love the vlogs they just keep getting better ! I'm excited to see nicole back on the vlogs !!!
AWESOME Ben. Your videos are simply the best! After watching you cycling vlogs ive decided to buy a bike so now i'm on the road aswell:) You have inspired me to do so many things! thanks!
That song playing while you're on the bike brings back memories from vlogs you've done in the past! I love it so much. Keep up the good work!
Just watched this old vlog and i got the same feelings like you - good old memories. Love the soundtrack

Your vlogs make my day. I've been watching your vlogs for over a year and never missed one. Keep up the good work!

Hello!! I'm Brazilian and I love watch your videos, and they are helping me study english!
The song returns! It reminds me of the early vlogs. :) Thanks Ben!
Hey Benny :) Good to see you well and fit. That bike is smashing!
Yay your back on the bike. You look like you had a great holiday ben :)
I'm so excited for you going to Cape town!!!!
Hey Ben, have you ever thought about coming down to the south coast I.e Bournemouth?
I love the biking footage. I know this is old, but hoping to see more of these vids
Always good to run into old chums Funny how your hair looks just as good messed up ! Love your new approach to music ..... add sparsely when appropriate :)
What bike are you currently use , want to start cycling but as a beginner I'm unsure what to use 😄
Over exerted, light headed and hungry .. but it's still so good! LOL! You're crazy Ben! ;)
Hi Nice bike, what length of stem ?120-130mm, not sure if its the GoPro making it look longer than it is. To avoid the bonk I usually carry emergency jelly beans or some dates in one of those small ziplock bags and carry it in the jersey pocket.
Thanks for another great vlog!
I wish I lived near Box Hill, looks super rad
Was that an event at botts farm? I think my older sister was doing some Fire Hooping at a thing like that this weekend, not sure if it's the same one though. Glad to see you're getting to enjoy your bike again :)
Straight on it!
Tibetan terriers are known for having a strong quite aggressive bark yet one of the most friendliest natured dogs out there :)
spending a while away from home for the winter? I envy you!
Thanks for your dedication towards what you do :)
Amazing vlog as always. I feel like your one of the best vloggers on youtube and you really inspire me keep it up Ben ;)
middle aged parties are the best! was at a friend's leaving do the other week and there were so many adult family members more raucous than our group, and at the rhythm & blues festival near me i always have the BEST time dancing my limbs off with middle aged drunkard strangers. best. nights.
I love your vids Ben!
Hi Ben, may i know how do you mount your Hero3 on the Nelo V3? :)
suction mount from the motor sport pack ;)
***** thanks and a real big fan here :)
ben i really liked ur hair at the beginning of the video. it looked cute and was a nice change from the usual. not that the usual is bad or anything :)
What dslr camera did you use on the swims with Lewis?
The best youtuber by far!!!!! And what strater camera would you advice for vloging?
Hey Ben! You should buy a handlebar mount for your go pro so we can see a good view when you bike. It would be awesome!
Ben, do you know what's wrong with the Sony FS700 ? Can it be fixed ?
What bag do you have (the one you put in your car)?
Just read Nicoles blog post, im pretty sure i remember you vlogging the whole ordeal! You better come to Calgary the next time youre in Canada .
Ok love you bye x
Bro, do your canoe mates even lift?
Haha I think they need to chill out with the lifting ;) haha!
I can assure you that you are able to walk tomorrow and are in fact in high spirits because of this ride. Ugh, this you tube time travel is a failure because you can only read this in the present time.
Hey Ben,greetings from Malaysia! :) Was wondering,how do you learn photography and are there any books worth mentioning about learning photography? I'm really interested in venturing into photography but i don't know where to start.Love your videos and keep up the great work! :)
I love your vlogs
I like this vlog music because you used it in a lot of Cape Town vlogs😝
Next time I'm down south, I am definitely taking a detour to surrey just to go to Giro (I live in liverpool)
You're vlogs really inspire me to do the same someday. Also I can't sleep because I've just got back from Mexico and it's 6 hours rapier there! Any tips for jetlag?
Your food always makes me hungry Ben!
What song was playing whilst you was cycling. 😊
What colnago model do you have Ben?
You're my inspiration Ben. I even asked for the Ben Brown at the barbers. Hopefully I can meet you at some point in my life! :)
Loves you,Alfie and your Mom!!!
Will you please start a playlist on Spotify.....please

where did you get your desk from?
Another quality video just about to watch your more recent video!
Where did you get your jumper?
You need to come to Wisey's pies and bakehouse when you are in Toronto! It is right up you're street!
Ben what happened to the BMW advert video vibe thing that you filmed in South Africa?
Basically didn't film enough good footage to make a good story and I got halfway through the edit before I realised that :(
***** Ahhhh grim times
Aww dude its good ur back on ur bike. Hate the wall. I had the same after coming back from east Europe. :)
I would just like to say thank you for inspiring me to get into o road riding. I did mtbing for a while and always saw road biking as super serious and full of dipping and Lycra. I now see that it is just the second one and is a great community to be part of! Also, is there a Brownies Strava club?
what are you doing with your bike when you are going to south africa?
I think you said you were going for 6 months?
I'm taking it!
***** Wow, the airline will put it in baggage for a price! I didn't know that. I guess you have to box it up.
There's special bike boxes available for bringing bikes to other countries that Ben can get.
You should have more views on your videos because you're brilliant. Greetings from Belgrade, Serbia.Love you!
What colnago do you have?
I would like to tell you that you inspired me to loose 20 KG's and start mountain biking through the mountains here in Sinai, Egypt
Thank You Ben :)
When and for how long r u going to Cape Town Ben? Awesome vlogs man, spent the last week just catching up on 20+ vlogs while I was away :3 keep up the hard work! ;)
Ben your life is just perfect :D
I love that music when you know it's about to be gopro
Yes, Ben.
How long are you goin Cape Town for ?
only a few weeks then off to Toronto for a bit then straight back to Cape Town for ages :) then maybe back to the UK for a bit of cold weather then back to Cape Town again! Who knows I might not come back for a while!!
***** You Should make plans to come to Australia. I'm not sure if youve been here before but you'd love it here.
Ben could you do more canoeing? I absolutely loved it when you were doing it back then. Cheers Ben! :)
our skl went on a trip to box hill. it was simply shit😕
ok :/
omg cos it was rainin and muddy
Yo ben what's your strava ??
7:05 aha just like the General would do!
What's the delivery like from topo designs because I'm really interested in getting a bag for school. I ordered a pair of dr martens and that was a complete fail as it takes like a week to turn up :)
Night! Hope you're not too sore tomorrow :)
The name of the tripods you have? :)
You should eat while on the bike not just before. Eat a peace of food roughly every hour, and you won't get back and binge or bonk while on the ride.
***** did you used a special case for the gopro at the bikeride? or just nothing cause the sound is so good. Ps: I love your Vlogs and they are pushing me everyday. Thanks man! :)
Greets from Austria! ;)
I had the open back on the case, so it's way better sound :)
Yeah but i think the bigger soundproblem is that we still use a hero2 🙈
I would love to run into you in Toronto, but I don't know if we're going to make the 18 hour drive until later in October! What a shame!
How do you manage your background music? I cannot download the track and it says nothing about free use. Do you contact every artist to use the music? This must be very time consuming.
That G!RO cycling gear is pretty sweeet
everytime i see you having a coffee i crave one haha
What bike have you got Ben?, i have a Bianchi :)
Colnago CX Zero, I love it! :D
Its a rather beautiful piece of kit, take a look at the Dunwich Dynamo, i did it last year, its a great event!
casually stuffing my face with chocolate while you cycle like mad. wow I really need to exercise more haha
When is the Canada Visual Vibes coming out?
