A little Christmas Magic
A heartwarming tale for Christmas. When all around seems to be falling apart, with everyone seemingly in it for themselves, someone good appears with a wonderful gesture.
When a company called EasiCyco heard about Emily's devotion to her blind father, piloting his tandem, they hand made a very special gift for her.

Stay Cozy In The Cold With These Revolutionary Heated Gloves!
มุมมอง 944วันที่ผ่านมา
I am a well known sufferer of cold fingers, so John at Vulcan Sportswear knew I was the perfect tester for his latest Aerogel heated gloves. The real question was how they would stand up to freezing conditions and wind chill on my bike. These universal gloves are designed for universal use, so whether you're hunting, fishing, trekking or just trying to keep warm while walking the dog, will thes...

I can ride long distances with no problems but when it comes to walking I am in pain almost immediately. My knee joints are bone on bone and both need replacing. Not wishing to go through recovery twice, I sought out two surgeons who would replace both joints during the same operation - Simultaneous Bilateral Replacement. Fortunately, it was concluded that I only need partial replacements so on...
Were We Wrong to Tag Along? Cycling Etiquette Would Say We Were.

Were we wrong to tag along with this Lincoln Wheelers Peloton? Cycling etiquette says we were but what do you say? Would your cycling club be upset if a couple of touring cyclists tagged on the back for a few miles?

And as a special the BBC is airing a Dr. Who marathon starring David Tennant. I have NEVER seen Dr. Who, although I've heard lots about it. So now I have the chance to see what it's all about; looking forward to it. Again MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone. Emily, I hope you enjoy using that bag.

    How long does the battery take to fully charge? I had used an e-bike to cycle to work, but the quality was terrible . Now I use a hybrid bike but cycling 20 miles (10 miles one way )each day is taking its tole on me. If the motor and battery is good this might be the solution I’ve been looking for.

    • @RideWithRoy
      @RideWithRoy 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      This is the official Boost comment ‘With our standard charger it typically takes 4 hours to charge the battery from empty. The charger makes sure that the battery doesn't get overcharged - only use the supplied charger.’ Being lithium, the battery doesn’t have the old memory issues so can be taken inside your destination for a top up if required. I shall be buying a kit myself, to help me get some long rides in after my impending double knee replacement. The beauty of this kit is that you can revert back to your non powered wheel within minutes, and only add the powered wheel when you feel the need. You will also be able to maintain your fitness and put as much of your own power in as you want. This is the official re charge info from Boost ‘With our standard charger it typically takes 4 hours to charge the battery from empty. The charger makes sure that the battery doesn't get overcharged - only use the supplied charger.’

    In this post pandemic era of burnt out mentality in psychology studies saying that driving is worse now since the pandemic because of stress burnout etc We need to be as safe as possible. This is the best thing ever for cyclists because of that unique pattern. You got people driving down the road over the white line and they're not even distracted they're just mindlessly going down the road and we are in danger.

    Another great video, Roy! 👍 On your recommendation, I have just bought the Vulcan 'slim heated' gloves. I have tried them on a very chilly 3°C, 2 hour ride.🥶and I am very impressed!😊 The slim version gives me the option of using them under another pair of gloves/mittens, for extra warmth if needed. Like those you tested in this video, I found the slim version very comfortable and lightweight. I tried them without an overglove and they never felt cold or too warm and sweaty. Being lightweight and having good palm grips, they gave great feel when operating gears and brakes. The batteries just lasted the 2 hour ride, which is normally fine for my winter rides. I might ask John if he can supply a spare set as they are compact and easily carried in a back pocket. Thank you for your recommendation and very best wishes for Christmas and New Year 🌲🥳

      @@neusbiosca yes, I used the original gloves, insoles and socks all last winter. I found I didn’t need both the insoles and socks at the same time, so the insoles are a good plan. If you’ve seen my original review you’ll see they are operated with a remote control, which is useful. As far as batteries are concerned, they do use high quality cells. However, the main cause of battery failures with any seasonally used batteries is leaving them all summer without checking. I make a diary reminder to give mine a small charge to wake them up in the summer. John, the owner, is a very genuine man and will always look after his customers.

    An innocent mistake on a very quiet road, a loud bell or shout would likely focus attention.

      Attention should always be focused, not just when someone else reminds you.

      @RideWithRoy Agreed, but we all make mistakes occasionally. Can you honestly say that you have never inconvenienced another road user because of a mistake or momentary lapse in concentration?

    • @RideWithRoy
      @RideWithRoy 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Of course not, but never as blatantly as that. You will note I blurred his face so as not to embarrass him personally. As for a shout and the bell, we were waiting patiently as we felt sure he would look up - you wouldn’t be able to see he was looking down the whole time he was approaching. So in my opinion it wasn’t a mistake, but total inattention to the road.

      @@RideWithRoy Inattention sure, but I think not deliberate. I was prompted to make my initial comment by the number of people who seemed to suggest (unfairly in my opinion) that this was deliberate or typical cyclist behaviour.

      @RideWithRoy 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      No, not at all deliberate, but not a good idea to ride four abreast, even on a quiet road. We got the distinct impression that he probably wasn’t a regular group rider and maybe embarrassed the others, as several of them apologised. I’m sure we’ve all experienced that 😀

On that day, Wendy was riding her Liv Avail, although she usually rides a Liv Devote Gravel. In addition, we both have Ribble E assist bikes for those days when we are feel the need 😀
