I enjoyed that Fede !!! I’m pretty much up & down here those roads in my day to day business/ work . The best time to cycle those streets are really around the weekend nice an early . I pass the new cycle shop on new kings rod every day & I keep thinking to myself I must pop in . I’m glad you went in as it gave me a flavour of what it is like thanks . Keep up the good work
Thank you mate, I know you know those roads very well 👍👍
Excelente video Federico ! Keep doing what you do . Saludos from Texas . 🚴🏼✌️
Thank you! Ciao from London
Great work Fede! Definitely the greatest city in the world. But I am biased because I'm lucky enough to live here.
😄😄
That was really interesting, thanks
I became your fan
I'm looking forward to a wonderful road bike video from now on
Welcome aboard!
Thanks for your London tour 😀😀🙏🏿💪🏿.. keep doing the great work
What a fine tour Fed! Thank you for sharing your knowledge on the history and heritage around there 👏🍵🇦🇺
Thank you 😄😄
Nice tour, looked like a nice day to be out on a ride. The city looks well-kept and clean. Hopefully someday I'll explore that side of the pond. Aloha 🤙
Amazed it looked so quiet even for a weekend 👍🏻
Was surprised as well!
Great vid! 🚴🏻♂️⭐️
Thank you 😄
Great video ….very cool kit…I’m amazed how cycle-friendly London seems
Yes, was a very quiet morning perfect for a ride!
Nice video mate. I didn't know Chelsea used to be a fishing village. Goes to show how much London has expanded over the centuries.
Yes, London expanded over existing villages, some/most still retain their own identity. Very different from Rome, where there was not much outside and still we keep the neighbouring villages separate.
@@fede1275 North-eastern parts definitely kept their identities for the most part.
Looking good wearing Siroko in the Rapha Cafe, how cool is that!😎
😬😎
Great vid federico. Would love to cycle London...really like you showing the routes in London...it looks great city to cycle
Thank you! Yes, I really enjoy it, all things considered it's a great city for cycling.
Excellent video you should do more of these and such a fine production on a rim brake (proper) bike.
Thank you so much!
Really cool.
👍 👍
When Italian speaks about cycles - I can look this video on repeat on and on
😄😄
Have you seen his Pinarello Dogma video? They should seriously hire him to do ads for it.
@@michaelstratton5223 yeah yeah yeah) totally agree
@@michaelstratton5223 well said 😂😄
Really enjoyable tour of London on bike! Not only on a Canyon Ultimate rim brake similar to the one I own and love, but also like a revisit many years after a school trip from when I was 15.
Nice background info along the way during all of the tour!
Thank you!! So you are also riding a vintage Canyon rim brakes 😂😂??
@@fede1275 Indeed 🙂, but not super vintage though. I bought mine in 2020, deliberately with rim brakes. I hate disc brake noise / hassles. I live in the flat Netherlands, so a possible lack of downhill braking power is not an issue and honestly I find rim brakes more aesthetically pleasing (around the hub areas. And I really love my bike! Keep up the good work 👍🏼
@@CanyonWanderer I so love my Ultimate rims I bought a second identical one 😂😂
Great video Fred I can't really decide if you should be a new presenter on GCN or a travel guide, keep the videos coming always really informative and interesting 😉
😄👍
Great video. Subbed
Thank you 👍👍
Loved this! Would sign up for a cycling tour from you
Maybe one day!
Best outfit. Hands down.
Basta col nero Fé! Ti stan bene i completi chiari/colorati!
Grazie, è vero, un po' di cambiamento!
Good morning Federico , you have out down yourself on a this tour of the most beautiful city in the world , I realize your main interest in road bicycles is not in vintage bikes from the 60 s & 70 s but might there be a vintage shop of long standing in London that you know of ? As usual Thanks and have a great day .
Thank you Mark, really appreciate! I am willingly not looking at vintage, if I catch that bug I'll be in real trouble as I might need another bike 😀
@@fede1275 I understand , Thanks
Federico! Which mount do you use for your wahoo for the integrated Canyon H36 cockpit? From what I saw, Canyon provides only the compatible mount for Garmin.
I have an H31 integrated cockpit and it comes with the two in line bolts standard for the computer mounts. So I just bought a cheap carbon straight mount from Ali Express with the Wahoo adapter and the GoPro below.
@@fede1275 Ah ok, my Ultimate mounts the H36 cockpit with two bolts parallel to the handlebar :/
@@mighelone Yes, I know. You should be able to find replacements with that standard as well?
Enjoyed the tour thanks for taking the time. I just read and article a couple of days ago though that claims the UK is too expensive to live and 3% of it's population are leaving and the political structure is non responsive. Most of the people working in the service industries can't afford to live there. The economic situation in the World is also facing recession but at least here in the US our politicians are sympathetic and address the needs of the people. That said, I don't imagine there will be many people buying those over-priced high end bikes in the future.
I'm not an economist, but definitely it seems that the gap between poor and rich is expanding. Most sectors are targeting the increasing super rich categories and seems that bike industry is going in that direction as well. Business is business...
Lol. You think US politicians are sympathetic? To what?
Vintage Canyon Ultimate LOL
😂😂
Just a personal question. Did you grow up in Italy? I love your accent. Any recommendations for an American looking to take a trip to Italy, specifically regarding places to see ?
Yes, I'm Italian, actually Roman first! Came to London 15 years ago though. Italiy is so full of amazing places that is not easy to recommend one. If you are interested in city travel than Rome would be your number 1 choice. For the sea a lot of choice, but maybe Sardinia. The list is too long 😄
@@fede1275 that’s wonderful. My parents have visited Cinque Terre and have wanted to go back ever since. Me- I’d just like to ride my bike all around the big cities and explore. : ) dream vacation at the moment , hard to do right now living in New York with my wife and a 9 month old. Thanks for the new video Frederico, always looking forward to your new posts!!
@@davemazur2062 thank you! We love New York and it's a pity we haven't been able to visit again!
11:15 Do you happen to know the story of this year's unusual Education First Easypost team kit artwork? My hypothesis is Education First is primarily a service for female students and that's the reasoning? But I can't find much information to clarify this, and I'm dying to know.
I'm not sure really. I'm guessing it's the collaboration with Palace and their funky artwork maybe? EF do entertain a lot of students, not just female: on that Saturday there were a lot of them in Leicester Square for their usual London visit, as they normally stay in smaller costal towns.
Hi Fede I have been in London last month and I visited Pinarello shop and my hart was stolen by Pinarello dogma of Richard Carapaz in black and golden colour with rim brakes,but I would like ask you about Siroko.Will I need pay any customs charges like for parcel from overseas when Siroko is spanich company???
Thank you for asking, will you be ordering from the UK? On their website in the FAQS they confirm that when you choose DHL Express as shipping method customs are included.
@@fede1275 yes I am living in UK,thank you for answer.
@@michalvetrak7898 👍👍
Hei @Federico are you runnin tubeless or with tubes?
Normal inner tubes for now!
What helmet do you have on?
This is a Bontrager Velocis MIPS, size M.
What is your glasses?
These are Siroko K3 photocromic glasses, if you like them you can get 10% extra discount using my affiliate link srko.co/fede1275
@@fede1275 ahhh i see… tq
Do you record on your phone ?
No, this is a GoPro 10 with a foam cover against the wind noise. Usually I use in SuperView mode, this time I forgot I left in wide, so slightly narrower field of view.
@@fede1275 thanks fed
