I continue to watch your channel Dave because you are real. I end up unsubscribing to those who continually ride abroad because lucky them for most we can’t. Then they repeat vlogs re average speed and it gets boring to me. I enjoy seeing Devon & Cornwall and your local area. Massive kudos to you with fostering. Hope Tuesday goes well for you. Wishing you luck 🍀 👍

yeah like that one lady who's always in different cities riding. Its no fun.

Nothing wrong with being multifaceted Dave! Keep on doing the good work and being a bastion for the youth in your community.

Yeah!! We're psyched for you! A few less videos is totally fine, plus half of what makes your videos great is when you talk about your life. It's more than cycling that makes us love you. Good luck on Tuesday m8.

Hats off to you Dave. I hope they validate (is that the right word?) next week. I was fostered for a while and whilst it took me half a life to realise, it was vitally supportive and impactful for me.

Dave that bike is the dogs danglies….love the colour

dave - finding purpose in life is one the most important things. i hope this all goes super well for you - less videos is 100% OK! and you're bang-on about youtube and the stupid fluff videos. good luck!

I dont like videos enough. Made a point to do it this time. Thank you for addressing mental health. Im one of those who quietly freak out in their mind all day long whilst trying not to show it. Keep up the hard work my brother. You're much appreciated. Cheers from over the pond 🇿🇦

The world needs more 'real' people that put it out and say it as it is. Really admire your commitment to helping others. Great effort. 👍

Top move chapeau Dave. Always thought you had your head screwed on. You’re gonna change some lives for the better.

All the best Dave watched you for years now enjoyed all the content. I am glad your helping kids just shows what type of person you are. Whatever you do Dave I'll be watching. I am glad you kept it real stayed a single dad and doesnt fly around the world forgetting about kiddo.

You are a good man Dave. Good luck. So many kids need help and they would be lucky to have you.

Kudos to you Dave, such an awesome and selfless thing to do. On the KZread side of things, I’m so glad you’ve called it out for what it is. At Stone Circle last weekend, there were some YTers and Influencers. They are most definitely an odd bunch. One was particularly sound and another was a bit creepy 😂

I’m down to just you and Dustin Klein these days 😊. You do you Dave

Right man for the job! See you next time - anytime.

Good on ya Dave all the best for you and your family.

Kudos for being one of the few people left trying to do actual good in the world. I think any kid would be lucky to have you as a foster parent. And kudos for the videos...keep 'em coming :)

It's admirable what you are planning to do. I'm sure your followers will support you. And keep up the good work

Good for you Dave. Love your videos and the no nonsense and no snobbery love of bikes. We will always support you whatever you do.

Best of luck! What a splendid thing to be doing 👍

You are a kind and decent man Sir, I think your honesty and integrity is inspiring, why did you find a grave yard as your place to chill and put this out? well look into history and see who invented charity, I'm not a religious man but sometimes the coincidences seen a little too like influences from a higher plain, all the best for Monday

Good luck next week. I'm sure they will be won over by a patented Dave waffle! :D

Well done mate... doing some good and still trying to fit in some vids around it... love the fact that you don't get caught up in the whole influencing thing as well, it's so much BS!

Thing is, people get caught up in this "KZread" business. And yes I get that it can be beneficial to some. Freebies, attention, invites to launches etc, and the list goes on. Sometimes, occasionally, real life gets in the way. I applaud your decision to take a step back and realise, that every now and then, it's the things that happen off screen that really matter. Good luck in the future and I sincerely hope everything goes well for you 👊

Went on a 67 mile bike ride yesterday ( well 50.82 miles than and then 16.78 after almost getting stuck and having to do an unintentional first century) but on my way from my house for the long ride. I rode through Marin since I was going to San Francisco. Due to where I live and the fact there’s one current way into SF. Thus why I rode through Marin. ( can ride on the bay bridge such as the gold gate which is the way I went but it’s slightly different on how far you can go ). Hope you’re able to balance out the fostering and videos.

Fair play Dave keeping life real ❤😢😂😂😂😂😂. All the best in your adventures 👍

Hey man, I hope you're well. Have you considered being a youth worker too? I say this because, should fostering not turn out positively (which I hope it will mind you!), you have a really good ethos and strong beliefs and values; I'm a SEND teacher, I also work with young people with challenging SEMH needs, you would make a great role model. It would keep your channel going too, could have "Dave's Garage" and have the kids fixing bikes and demonstrating how to do it... And also, you'll be like Fagin from Oliver Twist 😂 haha.
