Goodbye Ride On Cycling
The time has come to retire Ride On Cycling. Way back in 2015, I started the YouTube channel to document and share my ride across Canada. I wanted to share my journey because the blogs I read when I discovered bike touring taught me so much and helped make my ride a success. I decided […]
A Change of Pace, Cycling Mini Break
This post is sponsored by Fuller’s Beautiful Bedrooms. They asked me to visit one of their pubs with bedrooms and share the experience with you. One of the reasons I said yes (besides the obvious, beer!) to working with them is because Fuller’s recognises that cyclists are good customers and they are right, the cycle […]
FINDRA Merino-light, Wool’s Not Just for Winter
I’ve always been a fan of wool. Being from Canada, I’ve always had a wool sweater (usually big and chunky) of some kind as part of my wardrobe to keep me warm in winter. When I started cycling, I learned about merino wool’s ability to keep odour at bay and help keep you warm even […]
Bristol Cycling Newbie
In these 2 videos, you’ll see my first impressions of Bristol cycling infrastructure shortly after I moved here last summer and now my current commute. In the commute video, I’m taking the most obvious route to my office. I’ll post an update in a couple of months as I perfect the route based on my […]
London Brighton One Last Time
My time in London was coming to an end soon so I decided to take a break from packing and ride to Brighton. When I got there I was soon reminded how crazy Brighton can be on a hot summers day. This ride was also one of the longer rides I’ve done on the Specialized […]
I Turned My Road Bike Into An E-Bike
What is it? I’m asked every time I’m out and about on the Copenhagen Wheel. It’s a wheel that turns a normal bike into an e-bike and works on just about any bike with rim breaks. I’ve been having a lot of fun riding around on it and getting to know more about e-bikes. Watch […]
Are E-Bikes Cheating? – Ride With Me July
I’ve been riding the Copenhagen Wheel for just over a month and thought I would share with you my thoughts on e-bikes (a video about the wheel is coming soon). Until you’ve ridden one it’s really hard to appreciate them and all the possibilities they offer. If you ever get the chance to give one […]
Behind the Scenes at the Brompton Factory
The Brompton folding bike was invented in West London and is still built in West London today in their new factory. When Brompton asked if I would like to visit their factory, being the curious person I am I had to say yes. I was pretty impressed to see how much of the bike is […]
Vätternrundan – To The Start
I read about the Vätternrundan about a year ago, I’m not big on sportifs but there was something about this one, a 300km cycle around a lake in Sweden, that captured my imagination. So I read up on how to get a spot, marked my calendar with a reminder of the registration date and come […]
Vätternrundan – The Ride
So it was finally time, all the prep and training done past lunch had been had, we were off to the start for our 22:40 start time. Watch part 2 to see how it all went, see me in all my sleep deprived glory and find out if the ride is as well organised as […]
