- There is no doubt cats are the undisputed masters of the Internet. But how does a cat become a social phenomenon with over 250,000 followers? Together with his best friend, the Norwegian forest cat Sigrid, Travis Nelson tells us the story of their bicycle rides through London, but most importantly, of their beautiful, unique friendship.
Travis Nelson è un ingegnere informatico, ciclista da sempre e amante degli animali. Originario di San Francisco in California, nel 2019 si trasferisce a Londra. Durante la pandemia Travis ha iniziato a esplorare la città in bicicletta in compagnia della sua gatta norvegese Sigrid, affetta da sordità. Quello che era nato come un passatempo è rapidamente diventato qualcosa di più: oggi il suo canale Instagram è seguito da quasi duecentomila persone e i video delle gite di Sigrid sono quotidianamente visti in tutto il mondo. Nel 2023 Travis ha raccontato questa storia in un libro, Sigrid Rides.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Making someone smile can make someone forget their pain even just for a little while and each time we can do that for someone is a very good thing❤

Travis, this is such a great story about a bond between a human and a cat! I have never seen a Norwegian forest cat before, Sigrid is beautiful! ❤ From my interactions with cats I know that cats can be very protective and they can also sense what is going on with the human. After watching this video I may start taking my cats for bike rides. Thank you so much! 😊
Thank you for letting us get to know about you! And raising awareness about depression.
I'm glad we got to see a hisspilation, too!

Thanks for sharing your story!
Thank you for sharing….
I trained my Savannah cat from age 12 weeks to walk with me in the California redwood forest trails and on side walks. She didn’t do too well with the cars, and eventually wandered off at age 1 and got hit. But just before she died I had her on my shoulder while riding a bike. She loved being up there. She died I think cause she was chasing after me after I left a few days after the bike ride. I like to think she was enlightened by that ride but maybe got a little too confident crossing the sidewalk. A car got her in front of a gate so it was a low speed thing and I never got to bury her. I knew that was her blood spot cause the tile tracker was still working and was in a neighbors apartment where I knocked to hear the bad news. I never really knew who hit her, and am glad I didn’t find out as that would have made that person uncomfortable
Day brightener! Ty🐈
I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever,hoping to retire next year.. Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life
Thanks for the advice! I'm new to financial planning and wasn't sure where to start. Any tips on finding a reliable financial adviser or resource to guide beginners?
As a beginner, it's essential for you to have a mentor that is verified by finra and SEC to keep you accountable. I'm guided by a widely known financial consultant Stacey Macken
Truly, investing has changed my perspective on how one can succeed in life; working multiple jobs isn't the optimal way to attain financial freedom and unfortunately, we discover this later in life. Currently earn as much as 12 grand weekly and this has improved my financial life
YES! that's exactly her name (Stacey Macken) I watched her interview on CNN News and so many people recommended her trading skills, she's an expert and I'm just starting with her....From Brisbane Australia
This Woman has really change the life of many people from different countries and am a testimony of her trading platform .

@@lindih111 🤜✨🤛
Nice ❤
Thank you so much for sharing about you and Sigi.
Very happy you’re an American! I am too and also was a software engineer. I understand what you said, working for corporate America feels like selling our souls in some way. I’m glad to be a retiree now.
I love cats but I’m terribly allergic to them so I can’t have any. So thank you for sharing Sigi with us.
Wow, that cat really hates dogs.
Sigrid is very kind cat
Two questions: 1) What happened to the wife? and 2) How do they afford to live this life?
She's right here! She works as a game designer and pays half our rent/bills etc. I spent a lot of my savings the first couple years after I lost my job, but I'm more or less breaking even now with occasional ad money plus some Patreon donations. It's not much, but if I wanted to get rich I'd go back to working in tech! 🙂
(I have a book out too, called "Sigrid Rides", which I've gotten a bit of money from, it all adds up! To barely minimum wage. 😅)
One blue eye one yellow eye is deaf in the ear with the blue eye
That's nice.
But we all know that only Nala and Dean are the real cat/human travel team.
There's Martin and Mogli too.
They are doing 2 different things. And I enjoy both.
merci ;j'ai le méme chat.
Some ppl SO need a puppy . js :>P

Just like your comment.

Thanks for the comment, you are helping Travis and Sigrid with that 💜
@@paolagrando5079 You are welcome. I do what I can
The ending where the cat was trying to attack every dog it saw made it 100% worth watching the whole video in the sequence he produced it.
🥹I should try that too that’s so cool!!❤
