This tiny piece is not only intimate and relatable for those of us who have experienced the bike as absolutely life changing, it's transcendent. Thank you!
Her words hit close to home because we are cyclists and understand what she means. For me, no other mode of transportation can make me feel alive the way a bicycle can. I love my bike.
Same here, I know it sounds daft but I actually talk to my bike, she helps clear those cobwebs that build up.
I'm already planning a 200+ mile backpacking ride for next year.
If you don't mind my asking, do you use your bike for escapism as in just road cycling, mtb'ing and so on for sport and recreation?
Or is it utilitarian for commuting to work, school, doing the shopping, going to the cinema or the pub or whatever?
@@tconnolly9820 I use my bike for almost everything. Commuting, shopping, escapism, and fun.
All off road.
absolutely no road riding for me.
I appreciate this and everything she said about how you feel about cycling is so true. In the beginning of the ride you might sometimes feel tired or whatever and slowly as you go on riding you get the rythm of it and actually enjoy it so much witout realizing you have been riding for 5 hours. I enjoy it so much.
Definitely!
I started to ride a bicycle at the age of 4, and I have always loved riding. Except for the years I was in the Marines, I've had bicycles. I recently started to ride a bit more seriously, and even entered my first triathlon. I have many bicycles, but I have focused on my road bike, and truly enjoy the feeling of trying out a new trail and challenges. Other than fishing, cycling truly helps clear the mind and raise the spirit.
Beautiful film and topic. Her words are true and profound. Cycling brings balance to your life in a fun way, mentally and physically. At 66 I've gotten back into cycling for the health benefits and it's paying off.
I'm looking for this balance. Btw, I'm going to a ride now.
I used to cycle 5 or 6 days a week. This beautifully crafted film captures the emotional benefits of cycling and evokes a nostalgia that is hard to put into words. Thank you to Liam and Daniela ❤
Why you don't do it anymore?
Very inspiring.. I got emotional watching it because this is exactly how I feel about riding.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
same.to me
God bless u
Living in New Zealand for ten plus years has made me realise just how fortunate riders in the UK and Europe are. To have film makers producing such quality celebrates this. I miss it all keep it safe.
Thanks for a great film….and thanks Daniela for being a doctor and helping us all to get through such a tough time. Mortimer Rhind-Tutt
Brillaint short film! A big well done! It kinda resurfaces my unspoken desire to meet a decent person like Daniela who is into riding like myself . . . and just go riding together in fantastic peaceful places like those shown in this video. There where nature rules the game and not the filthy humans.
Great story, great cinematography, great video! Thanks for inspiring
I agree. This is a great film in that the sound and video are super well done. It is also a good story.
You are a smart person. The joy of cycling will help to find peace of mind and sometimes joy in this ever changing world we live in. Live long and prosper.
Beautifully directed! Everything is perfect. I can relate so much with it.
Thank you. Great to hear
Beautiful work Liam ! Gorgeous images, edit & sound track. Easily one of the most emotive cycling short films I've ever seen. Well done to the team & thank you !
Came across this by chance - what an excellent film on every level - shooting, production, editing, content and message - love it - well done
Thanks a lot!
In my 30s and just learned how to ride a bike 3 weeks ago. Imagine the newfound freedom I experienced
Amazing!
Man is this underrated , I loved the whole dark theme. I always prefer night rides
Thank you!
Thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful production and subject. Thank you!
Thank you!
Gem of a film that stays with me. Thank you Liam and Daniela for so artistically articulating why I ride!
After the first hour I can just keep going. Feels like time stops and the only things that matters is you and your bike. Biking doesn’t care if you feel bad, good, if you are rich or poor. Just keep biking.
Awesome editing, cycling has always been a part of my overall well being. We understand.✌🏼
Beautiful film, thank you. 🙏
Started cycling 4 years ago now. Love it! It's my solitude and refresher of my soul.
I recently got more interested in cycling and the beauty of bicyles. I bought 1, a second n then a third. I just have to make time for riding. I took the 3rd bike out recently and did 18-20 miles about in 90 degree weather. Can't wait to push forward and work up my stamina + get fit. And meet other cyclists
Beautiful story and film, loved it! Biking has saved so many people in so many ways.
Wow!!! Inspirational. Thanks! 🙏
What a lovely video! Thanks so much.
Beautiful. Powerful. Pure passion. Thank you.
I love these kinda films. “Dont ever rush the story.”
Beautifully shot film ❤
Beautifully done, well executed with a beautiful story 👏👏👏
I felt similarly about bicycling during the pandemic when I would have otherwise been stuck in my apartment during the month that I wasn't working. I live in midwestern U.S. which is pretty and has some nice paved trails, but those hills look lovely!
So true!
Beautiful clip. Speaking off my soul and I can totally relate. Atmosphere is mesmerizing. Hope that biking will give you many more amazing moments
Great video and an inspiring story.
Wow!! Awesome video!! Love the cinematic feel to it! Truly inspiring!! ❤️👍🙂

Liam - finally gotten round to watching this and its beautifully put together. Very topical and superbly edited. I've got so little time these days but I am itching to get creating again and this has really inspired me to pick up a camera again.

Wonderful film depicting what cycling does for the mind and your emotions.
Stop watching the news, and ride your bike. Right on!
Wow!! Such a relatable story. Exactly how I feel about cycling. So beautifully filmed and put together!!!
Thank you very much!
Very nicely done. Was so relaxing watching this. Thanks so much.
What a beautiful video! Thank you for creating it and sharing your thoughts and views.
I completely agree ❤
Goodness. This is a wonderful video. You have shared part of yourself in a very personal and artistic manner. Thank you.
Beautifully captured, narrated, engineered.
Beautiful Film thankyou. Keep up the great work. Nothing beats the rolling two wheel meditation that we call Cycling....I have the privilege of living on the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia which is a breathtaking place to ride. I don't think there is a better way to connect with nature and with yourself than by travelling by bike. Your film reminded me of that.....time for a ride❤️
Amazing. Thanks for watching!
A beautiful video thank you ☀️ very emotional
That was so awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Cycling helps my head and body, I fully agree. Nice positive film.
Beautiful film.
Thats just beautiful, inspiring.
thank you
Wow. Stunning. Thank you
Bikes. Bikes have been in my life big time since I was big enough to wobble around on one. ....We raced our bikes thru jr high and high school, just flat out around polished cement tracks, jumped off truck loading docks, leapt over roads, we built our own bikes up from bits we could find cheap....Raced motorycles, rode em on big trips for months, trailriding, but always bicycles too............now Im 64 and riding mt bikes, riding in big group rides on road bike 2 or 3 times a week, gravel bikes, any kind of bike Im down with it..........still with motorcyles also. Anything on 2 wheels I'm there..................covid meant lots of solo rides but I was fine with it.
Except motorcycles are not "bikes." The nickname bike is short for "bicycle" The name bikers was something the disrespectful individuals who climb on the illegal exhausted Harleys made up. They're called motorcyclists...
A lovely piece of film
Fabulous film and an inspirational lady
Well done. Beautiful film.
Cycling is Life!
Loved it!
Amazing video, can't believe you don't have way more subscribers, definitely a hidden gem which I am thrilled to discover somehow randomly ❤
In February of 2020 I felt something was about to happen so I got 2 bikes out of storage: one for me and one for my son, and had them both tuned up at the local bike shop. Sure enough, March 2020 we went on "lockdown" and everything got weird. No work, no school, but we had some amazing bike rides with no cars on the streets. It was wonderfully STRANGE.
I can relate to the wonderfully strange!
Thank you.....
It almost feels like you made this for me.
Beautiful montage. Inspiring words.
Thank you for watching
Beautifully filmed and edited. Well done.
This was a solid piece and I really enjoyed the music choice with the cinematography

Thanks for watching. It’s unbelievable how much it does
So well done
Thankyou for the video i used to hike a lot now i plan to bike a lot get back in shape
Beautiful work here mate! I think i recognize those Sony colors... Which camera and lenses did you use, if you don't mind me asking? The video has some nice Danny Gevirtz vibes to it, but you definitely add your own spin to it. Lighting and color grade on point. Important subject matter too. Well done, keep it up man!
Darn, this is a good one!
so underrated!
I felt every moment of this❤
Thanks for watching
Wow..really love this video..awesome
Really cool film :)
It's beautiful
Ah, yeah..so good
Love your colour grading mate and how it was cut. Pro work.
Beautiful video!
Brilliant

Loved your video I also feel great after a bike ride its abought being alive . I am 72 and I have found the more effort the more reward you get
Thanks for watching! You’re 100% right
