Ok so I am a Handcyclist paralysed from the chest down I was out training one day in Warrandyte and while descending I clipped a roundabout and stacked it. A car pulls up and this woman yells out don’t move!!! I reply casually don’t worry I’m already paralysed. The look on her face 🤣
🤞 hopefully get those sunnies.

Hope you all enjoy, I spent a good bit of time ironing this bad boy out. Don’t worry I saw the eggshell too

How you have managed to get such amazing footage whilst working your ass off training is just unreal. Beautiful scenery, excellent video and hope you go well in the Vuelta.

We have a small cycling team here Africa specifically Zambia and this videos was really helpful in terms of nutrition and training thanks a lot.

[IBreakItDownI]

The production level of your videos has always been pretty good, but this one takes the cake! As always, thanks for taking the time to make these for us, it always gives me a little more motivation to get on the bike!

Sick that you ended up making this one. This will be my award for doing my efforts today.

Great video, love the insights into a pro cyclist's daily life.
For my funniest story:
Probably my funniest but also scariest moment on my road bike. I was riding in the French Alps, after a climb I was descending this nice road when suddenly I miss calculated a hard left turn, with some gravel on the outside of the turn, hit the rear brake a bit too hard which caused the rear wheel to block, I went into and over the barrier, saw my bike fly over me in the air, landed on my back and my bike went down into the ravine. I was in a bit of a shock and started looking for my bike from up the road. I literally thought I was never going to see my bike again. A lovely couple stopped with their car and helped me look with binoculars. The lady saw the bike in some bushes about 30-40m lower. I had my wife, father, 2 brothers and a friend come up with the car and some ropes. I managed to rappel down the hill, found my bike intact, and carried it back up (which was a lot of fun actually). The bike had not a single scratch, I had some bruises on my right leg (from the impact of the barrier) and my back (from the impact with the ground), but nothing too serious. I rode a 160km, 3500m vert ride (boucle de Izoard) the next day. I had a good guardian angel that day.

this should be the future of world tour cycling. making the data available to cycling nerds like me makes it so much more engaging and enjoyable. Plus getting to know the pros gives us a person to cheer for instead of just a jersey or name

Just found your channel and loving your content. You've struck the perfect balance between diet, cooking, nutrition, training and a bit of banter for good measure! You genuinely seem like a top bloke even having the kindness to share some of your stuff with your viewers! Not everyone does that. Good on ya Harry, keep it up. You've got another subscriber here!

[benji]

The pull-ups at the start were very surprising 3 by 10 is almost a workout in itself

[glendahunt]

I'm cutting back on all my other subscriptions and subscribing to cyclists. I get better food and exercise tips from you all than any other channel. Thank you. Good video!!!

One of my craziest cycling story's was back in 1992 when me and my friend were in Switzerland.We had trained all day in the alps around 6 hours of climbing and when we got to our camping ground everything was closed and we couldn't eat that night.We just had a little childs box of frosted flakes that we shared.The worse part was yet to come when a big rain storm snapped our tent and we had to sleep holding it over our heads all night.Didnt seem funny then but boy it does now. What a night.ha ha kelp up the great work out there.Cheers

[golfcl]

Thanks for the insight Harry! Really interesting and appreciated.

Edit - Funniest Cycling story: I take off the front wheel of my bike to mount it on the car and one day when meeting up with a mate (that lives in another city) for a ride I didn't realize I left the wheel in the garage until I got to his house. No riding got accomplished but we sure laughed for a while. Had some beers instead.

PS I don't think it's best for people to leave their e-mails here for privacy reasons.

Lovely editing as always, love the insight into your day.

Wow! You really stepped up the production quality in a big way! Great video - your best by far. Looking forward to more!

Not too long after I met my girlfriend in university, I stopped to say hi to her while she was in between classes and I was out for a ride. I had just started rolling on the bike to head home when I realized the strap on my helmet was unbuckled right as I was clipping in to the pedals. So I took both hands off the bars to do it up... The combination of clipping in, both hands up and off the bars, and very low speed resulted in a total loss of control. The bars swung hard left swinging the bike out from under me - I put my right hand out as I was about to go over the bars and it contacted my front tire with my whole bodyweight behind it - and BANG!! The force of the impact caused the tube in my front tire to explode, the pressure wave causing it to tear in half. I tumbled with the bike into the grass off the road - very smoothly I must say - not a scratch on me or the bike! But she nearly asphyxiated from laughing. I couldn't walk the rest of the way home in my shoes with the road cleats - so I carried my bike and shoes the whole way back home barefoot.

Loving all the drone shots in this one Harry! Looking forward to your next video already :)

Funniest story was when my boyfriend went out cycling with his friends, early on in his cycling "career", into Kent, south of London. He reliably tells me he 'bonked' that day, in an attempt to offer some explanation for when I returned home to find him lying on the sofa post ride surrounded by countless cans of coca-cola, ice cream tubs, and other treats. It took him.a couple days to return to normal and trying to watch him get through the rest of the day with zero energy was a giggle.
He's always making me watch your videos and is a big fan of the Lotto team so I know he'd love a pair of team sunnies!

[antonyhunt]

That was another really great Vlog. Love the food prep and attention to detail. You’ve just become my NO.1 pro to follow. Top man 👌

[rachelfriss]

Love the quality of your videos. It’s always nice to see people to put this much effort to their life, fill every minutes of it working, learning and pushing theirselves to the limits.
Also my funniest story is from back when i completed some of my first rides ever. Im still not much of a pro but back then everything was surprising.
I came down on a small hill (actually pretty fast for me in general) and a group of old women was coming towards me taking away all the road. Man, i was very scared, but i saved it pretty well and i didnt crash into anyone. Im still grateful for it!!

It is really sad that even though the views are exponential, people do not have the patience and decency to click the subscribe button. Your videos are completely useful for cyclists like us. Keep up the great work
