This documentary is about what it takes to make a custom bike from beginning to end. This is my first custom bike and as a film maker I wanted to share this experience with you because I think it very interesting. The bike I chose is a Festka Rover, a gravel bike which is also a very performing road bike making it a perfect hybrid which is exactly what I was looking for. I found a few bikes on the market that could fullfill my needs. The reason why I decided to make a Festka in particular is not only that it is made in my home town, that is just by chance. The true reason is that when doing my research I found out that it has some unique characteristics that resonate with my philosphy. I am talking about the fact that the japanese carbon that they use doesn't deteriorate so it is a bike that can last forever and also about the fact that making a Festka produces zero waste. So it made me think that although Festka is a premium brand, so it ain't cheap, in the long term it is a good and sustainable investment. And it is dream bike. It looks and ride great. About me: Since 2010 I have dedicated my life to cycling trying to spread the passion for this great activity. I founded a bike company, I make videos, write articles for bike magazines, design bike related t-shirts and I produce contents for those who apreciate my job and would like to work with me.

This is a dcoumentary about how I implemented the Wim Hof method step by step. I am bike guide. Our first advanced bike holidays start in May and they are tough rides including, for instance, Grossglockner and Stelvio passes. Very often our clients come from warm places like California or Australia. There, they can train all winter long and they come very prepared to the starting line. So I really need to train in winter but I find it very difficult. I really struggle cycling in the cold. After just an hour, my hands and feet would go numb and I would often get sick. Finally I found a way to get stronger thanks to the Wim Hof method. Here is how I implement it: - Breathing - Outdoor meditation - Hands and feet exposure in ice water - Bare-chested running or hiking - Full body immersions in ice water - Wearing a layer less of clothes for some time during the day So thanks to this I became friend with the cold. I enjoy training in winter much more now. Maybe my body is just a little bit stronger than when I started but for sure my mind has made a giant leap toward acceptance of cold.
