I’m actually quite sad this trip is over. The camaraderie, beautiful cinematography with an amazing country made this series brilliant. Would love to see more of this with you three in the future.
More to come for sure, it's a blast riding and making these! Thanks for watching
This is the BEST project we have ever seen amongst your trips. Thanks Francis for bringing us along..
Wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed this series of videos. I’m amazed by the quality of images and production you turn out in such a short time. I’ve been unwell and off the bike for a few weeks and these have been a real tonic - thanks Francis, Lawrence and James. Safe travels home.
Thanks for watching and the kind words Paul!
After almost a year of lockdowns and travel bans, and with Michigan still stuck in winter weather I needed a pick me up. Watched the whole thing last night for the third time. Thanks for lifting my spirit.
thanks so much, hope it was enjoyable!
Totally amazing guys, it kinda reminds of one of Top Gears epic road trips. You're like the new Clarkson, Hammond and May. Love the humour, love chemistry you guys have and can't wait for your next trip. ✌
Followed this from day one and enjoyed every minute. Thanks so much Francis, James and Lawrence! 🚵♀️ 🚵🏼 🚵♂️ 👍
Thank you so much for watching!
This series is genuinely one of the best things I’ve seen on CZcams. Need to support on Patreon so that you can do more.
thanks Robin!
JAPAN!
Incredible trip as always. This has been amazing to follow along with during a period when I've been forced off the bike. Lovely to ride vicariously with you guys. Keep up the awesome work.
Got to be south America or Africa next. ✌🏼
+1 for sth america
It doesn't matter where you go as long as each day contains a) epic descent footage b) 120fps drone footage c) a custodial sentence for anyone who dances in bib shorts. Well played lads.
Francis, thanks for making reference recently of your Vietnam trip saying to go back and watch on one of your latest videos. I’ve just finished watching your entire trip and I enjoyed your entire journey it was amazing. I Love James humor even more now, no matter what hit you guys he was still able to have enough energy to dance. I can’t wait till COVID is over and all of you can hit the road again getting out of your hometowns.
*SIMPLY INCREDIBLE* thanks for taking such time and dedication to bring this art to us, them image stills at the end were sublime, could be at an art exhibition!!!!! Nice one mate, keeps me inspired and hungry to make content like this.
Awesome! When I was in HCMC I rented a bike at Mr Biker Saigon and they gave me a GPX tour around the countryside. Best shop in Vietnam!
Super thanks for taking us along, enjoyed every bit!
Just made my way through this series very late to the party, awesome trip and great video series
thanks Josh!
Sad that the ride ended. This was so much fun to watch. They might as well shut down CZcams until the next one because nothing else will compare to this at least in this space. Well done!! I can't wait to see what you guys come up next. Thank you for taking us along for the ride.
Just watched the whole of Project Vietnam. Probably the best thing I’ve ever seen on CZcams. Absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Well done lads 👍
❤️
Canadian Vietnamese here; just discovered and watched this series; in awe at production quality - simply superb, top notch; also envious of y'all - this is on my bucket list, post-pandemic; this is what living a life to the fullest looks like; this is the magic that memories are made of; congrats and thank you for making this
Love that The Basement's first production probably wasn't even editted in the basement. Top stuff. More of this
This has concluded me watching your USA, Australia and then this trip back to back. So inspiring! Got my first road bike in the middle of last year, and these videos have really inspired me to go out on an adventure. Thank you for all your content, genuinely found it so uplifting over the last year.
Thanks Ben! This comment means a lot!
This project has been awesome to witness, especially now that travel for tourism is virtually shut down on our side of the world. Thanks for the ride, Francis!
thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing your adventure. I’m an American riding my bicycle in the Philippines. I’ve done several group rides but just day rides. I’m inspired by your channel and plan to do some multi day bike packing adventures in 2020. I’m not a professional vloggers but I’ll share on my YT channel for memories.
Mate, that was amazing. I also am sad that this is over. It was like being on the trip with you guys. The three of you are the best mix. Cheers to you boys and your adventures.
Binge watched over the last few days - very enjoyable and a beautiful country.
Next Project Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Sana!
Great trip, great dancing, great views, food. Amazing videos and a pleasure to watch from start to finish. Great work .
The pictures at the end! What a great video series. Thank you Francis.
Quality of your videos Francis are amazing. Been binge watching recently and these bike packing trip series are awesome. Getting to see what most tourist will never see traveling in these counties. Looking forward to see where the next one will end up.
Love the way you guys talking and felling about my country. Big thumb up from Hanoi, VN.
Voodoo Child was the best possible outro for the series, binge watched the whole thing
Just finished watching all 21 episodes! Awesome job great 10 min episodes kept me interested the whole time. Well done guys for completing the ride and thank you for filming it all I enjoyed every episode 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Pro tip for heat. Where I live it is 33 to 38 degrees 6 months per year (and 200,000 Vietnamese live here). A pill of acetaminophen (Tylenol or paracetamol) helps keep you from overheating while riding in those conditions.
This is the most amazing bike packing video series in history. I've been transfixed by it, but I understand that you guys need a good long rest. How to top it? Maybe top to bottom of Japan? Peru and Ecuador? Shanghai to Xian?
Great adventure, guys. I've enjoyed watching each and every video from Francis and Lawrence. Also 10/10 outro on this one!
Dudes…. really loved watching you guys. Looked like you had such a great time. Thank you
My humble Philippines
. There lots of great views in Luzon... Plus our English is good... You love it here? I promise....... : )
Just binged on the lot, brilliant to watch thanks. Africa, India, south America, China, Sri Lanka and so many other places to ride
Thank you!
Properly special. From start to finish. Loved every minute of it. Thanks gents! Much respect!
(Next time inner-tubes AND sealant) 😁
That was bloody amazing boys, thanks for the laughs and the experience!
Loved tagging along - looked amazing. Cheers for sharing
Thanks guys, that was excellent. Enjoy your next adventure.
Absolutely amazing journey that was both stunning and testing
Congratulations to the three of you deadset legends
Great series Francis. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks guys, I loved each and every bit!
I have enjoyed watching all 21 episodes of this series! Such a beauty to watch! Can't wait for the next series.
Wow. Just watched the complete series. You should be proud of this production , excellent work. A joy to watch .
It became a routine to watch you three legends in 🇻🇳 every afternoon, don’t know what I will be doing now actually 🤷♂️ Really enjoyed it, bring on the next one!
When you feel like you were part of the adventure at the end, you know that was an awesome series you just watched! Great job!
that is a serious compliment, thank you so much!
My sentiments exactly....I’ve just found these video series and I actually felt part of the journey and a little sad when it ended...feels like I’ve been on a journey with friends even though we’ve never met and I never went..I look forward to the next one.
What's next? Take a look at Cape Sata to Cape Soya, Japan from South to North, 3,000 Km or more if you are in a playful mood, climbing can be aplenty if you feel like it. Thank you for sharing the Viet Nam series. The award for the Best Actor goes to James - the dancer, the fixer, the joker, the planner, the swearer.
Japan sounds like an great canvas upon which to paint the next masterpiece. (Also, lots of veggies options for you-know-who.)
Actually Japan is a big meat and fish eating country. Restaurants offer little to no vegan or vegetarian options. Even noddles (ramen) are served in meaty or fishy broth. Best options are to buy produces at supermarkets (tofu is cheap and aplenty), however veggies can get really expensive (carrots and cucumbers are affordable. Fruits are budget-killers. I don't feel like eating a pear or an apple that costs me a quid or more. But pricing goes down when you hit the country side.
Really enjoyed watching these videos! 3 good mates riding and having a laugh. Well done fellas 👍
Epic lads!! This series/trip has been unreal and looked like it was some craic. Thanks for bringing us along 💪
THAT was the single best thing I saw on CZcams in years.
Great job all three of you,I must admit I have enjoyed your journey in Vietnam with its ups and downs along the way have a safe trip home boys 👍
Thanks for a great series, Francis. Have been glued to the daily updates! Safe trip home.
I'm not usually a huge fan of travel vlogs or vlogs in general but I was genuinely entertained watching this. You've really got a talent for making these. Thank you for sharing this, I really appreciated watching.
Also i'd be very interested in more informational videos about cycling gear, maintenance/repair, bike fits, and training from you if you get the chance. Most of the informational cycling CZcamsrs I've come across aren't as good as you at making videos interesting. Like I'd definitely watch more collaborations with mechanics and coaches and custom bike makers and such if you did more videos like that (or a playlist of the videos that have bits of information/ conversations with coaches since I've noticed that some of your videos like that aren't listed in the tips playlist). Even just a small biking tip here and there in your vlogs would be much appreciated, I almost feel slightly guilty spending so much time watching your videos since I just feel like I should be doing something more productive
Really enjoyed following you all on this incredible journey. Can’t wait for the next adventure, and keep up the great work 👍
That was absolutely brilliant!!! Well done boys. Entertaining to the end and and quite an achievement!! 👍
stumbled upon this series searching for Wilier Jena, glad i watched every epsiode, great filming, editing, and what seems to be great friendship. looking forward to more travel stories. James' dancing is great!
thanks so much for watching Tom!
More to come like this I hope.
Well done gents. Thanks for letting us tag along again. Your personalities are well suited to this kind of adventure. Now you just have to teach all of London how traffic should "flow like water" -- easy.
Epic journey guys! It's been so fun to watch and feel like part of the adventure for the past few weeks. Looking forward to the next one!
Started with Project US then AUS and to PROJECT VIETNAM. You guys are an inspiration for me to continue cycling and push thru with my vlogs. Ride safe guys!
👊👊👊
Congratulations on an epic journey! Thanks for taking us along with you!
super adventure, awesome country,
thanks for filming/sharing.
Quite an adventure. I enjoyed all of them. Can't wait to see your next.
Epic. Thanks for sharing the journey!
A series to be proud of Francis, the best cycling vlog on you tube, channel sponsors should be queuing up, Vietnam tourist board got a brilliant advertisement for their country.
Day 1 to day 21 finished. What a spectacular adventure. Love your videos mate.
thanks! Good surname
Thank you guys for this amazing trip. I love this team!!
Top drawer from start to finish ... the hijinks, the lowspots, from majestic scenery to city mayhem ... but the people and the camaraderie was the cherry on top!! Safe travels home and a happy holiday season to you all!
Francis, Lawrence and James...you done good. Thank you.
Thank you three for the adventure! Great content
Outstanding , as real as it gets . Your best adventure so far guys .
Come and do New Zealand 🇳🇿 check out Tour DeAotearoa for a route but can be mixed up to ad time to this
Brilliant stuff lads! Thanks for having us along for the journey 👏👍
Kudos on the completion of an epic journey.
Francis, it’s taken me ages to get around to watching this and I’ve binged on it today. The bikes, the trip, the country, the scenery, the music, the banter.....man that was epic.....I mean epic. So inspiring in that I want / need a 2 wheel road trip and it’s winter....and ruddy lockdown !!!! Thanks man, for the entertainment, the hilarity and the sanity. 👏👏👏👏👏
What am I going to do before the day starts with out your vlogg travel 🤨
Thankyou so much guys ..brilliant... Even with James fall and Lawrence’s comp and phone disasters you three are true omegos And don’t ever change your ability to be awed by your surroundings James 🥰 that was magic sharing genuine child like wonder .....it is a shame we loose that as we get older Can’t wate for the next trip ...from grandma an old lady reliving the past Huggs to you all
💫😎👍🇦🇺
Congratulations! I’m happy that you guys made it safely to your final destination.
Loved every minute lads, thanks for documenting. Great work.
Watched the entire series. It was such an amazing trip of you three, and this has motivated me to go on a bikepacking trip across Vietnam in the future. Absolutely loving it, thanks for a great series about experiences with my country!
Incredible series, can't wait to see the next one!
This has been an outstanding project! I would love to see more like this!
Another great series, can’t believe I didn’t stick with this project 6 months ago. So glad I have ‘completed it mate’ chapeau guys!
Well done boys for completing your journey. It's been a pleasure watching the series. 👍
Excellent work gents, very enjoyable to watch the journey unfold 👍🏻
Love these trips. Great job. You three make a good mix.
Bloody brilliant series guys. Looks like you had the best time, three mates, doing what you love, seeing the world creating memories. Fair play. I look forward to watching your future challenges with envy! 👍
congratulations for completing the Vietnam Project, you guys is awesome?!! can't wait to see three of you cycling for the next project
Just finished watching Project Vietman, thanks for the ride guys!
Really enjoyed your trip. Looking forward to the next, where ever it leads you guys. KB
I have to agree with the vast majority of comments. This has been an excellent series to watch. Got me thinking about a little adventure in 2020. This is what life is all about. Well done chaps. How about New Zealand? My favourite country and the scenery is outrageous!
What a blinding project! Loved following this, sick cinematography and photography. Well done boys!
Brilliant series, amazingly entertaining stuff. The 3 of you together works really well.
thanks Danny!
Have to join the waves of praise. Fun to watch. Canada coast to coast would be an epic ride (one that I've been dreaming of myself).
F...... brilliant, I saved up every episode for a rainy day. That rainy day finally came after a long cold damp bike ride on Christmas day!! Spent the last few days in bed with a fever binge watching every episode, fantastic!! Where next? Eastern Europe, Poland and across the old Russian states, you will defiantly find a land that time forgot, even in Poland!! So when you coming?
Thanks for the awesome videos. Also bring Chris on the next trip if he can. Would be an epic addition to the group!
epic! just finished the series and enjoyed it a lot
Love to see you guys bike the river trails of South korea its beautiful and challenging
what a perfectly captured super adventure! I greatly enjoyed all the episodes
Loved the series guys, can’t wait for the next project!
A brilliant series which was incredibly well produced with cool drone footage, chapeau👍
