Thank you all for watching. Reading your comments on here always brings back the best memories and reminds us how lucky we are to have these experiences

We've been hard at work recently launching a Substack called Dogmatic, where we share a video and an article/podcast each month, exploring different themes related to nature and the climate on our bamboo bikes, accompanied by MoMo and QiuQiu. We'd love it if you could visit us there and say 你好 nihao! 👋👋👋👋
All the best, and happy year of the 🐯

May I ask, what are they wrapping the joins with? Is it carbon? 🤔

Hi, yeah we wrap them first in carbon fiber and then in hemp fiber 🙂

You should try! Are you in China? It's probably the best place for touring now

No I am in Canada. I stayed in Chengdu between 89-92. Your video made me nostalgic :-) Best wishes to you
