From my vantage point, a world away on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, you two are absolutely living the dream. What a luxury it would be to have all of Europe's cycling at your doorstep. Thank-you so much for sharing your adventures. I know it's a cliche, but I live vicariously through you. +1 for wearing cycling gloves, especially if you need to use your hands to make a living.

Really feel for Kyle, I had the exact same thing last year I had just done my first ever 50 mile ride and two miles from home there was a ford that hardly had any water in so I went through, straight away the bike went sideways I came off burnt a hole in my bibs, ripped my jersey and had cuts and bruises all over me 😫 shook me up but made me more determined. Thankfully I had gloves otherwise it would have been worse. Keep up the great content.

Heyy guys...another awesome vid. Like most, i highly recommend gloves & a small first aid pack. Both have saved me many times. You should consider some small cage type "pannier" bags that clip to your front forks. Can hold extra water, or take some weight off the back to even out the load...especially for your 1000 + milonies trip. Hope Kyle is doing okay. Love and best wishes from Sydney, Australia. 🫶🚴🚴🫶

Kyle's toughened by the bricks skin coming in clutch but I would recommend getting a little packable first aid kit, doesn't have to be massive, just a couple bits and bobs. Would be worth taking on the longer rides, Amazon has some cycling specific ones that are a bit more focused rather than having absolutely everything.

"Go for it", indeed!

Gloves do help in a crash, but I rarely find gloves that fit my hands properly. I do occasionally find a pair that fit, and I use them for a while. But at some point they’re discontinued, and I have to go without until I find the next pair that fit.

Ouch, Kyle. Mate!

Fantastic video as usual you two. Are the panniers able to come forward a bit so as they are more over the rear axle to make the bikes more balanced? They look far to rearward compared to a normal touring setup.

Thank you!! No they attach on at that point on the rack, but you can put them on the front forks with a different attachment ☺️

When you get gloves, consider the lighter _unpadded_ ones. Some (like me) find the bulky gel / foam types cause more irritation than they're worth. They still protect from scrapes just fine.

Hope you're alright Kyle, you probably know by now if the wrist is fractured or not, hope you didn't end up riding on too far if it was. Will need a splint and laying off it for 6 - 10 weeks if it is... Speaking from experience.

Don’t understand why the measurements from wasn’t it a Cannondale ( used for his bike fit ) used to set up his Pinerello.I know he won’t listen but with his knee problem he is not helping it by riding a gear or two TOO BIG out of the saddle up hills. I ride with gloves everywhere ( but hate them ) But if I fall & scrap my hands I can’t work

For water in France, go to a graveyard. There is always a tap there, for watering the flowers. What do I know? - after 50 years of living and cycling in France.
