Hi Jonathan, finally the weather has been kind for us cyclists, a little bit warmer than I anticipated on some of my rides, and I suffered 😂 thanks for watching buddy and happy riding. 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

@@brookes79, that is a beautiful coastal path, I bet it hasn’t really changed much since you last walked it. Thankfully I only passed one person on the trail that day I rode it. 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

Hey Tracy, that’s a fair point about the landlord, but I expect he must’ve been questioned, but probably only as a witness and not as a suspect. Sadly we will never really know what happened to poor Genette. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

@@electricbikerider as soon as I saw your video, I had a horrible feeling about the Landlord, the pub and the cellar.. Nobody would have known the the areas that Genette was travelling except him and the paper lad and also approximate time that the paper round took. Thank you for taking the time out to keep reminding us of our beautiful Genette. RIP beautiful 😇

@@Missy0101 That’s very kind of you Tracy, take care 🙏🏻

@@electricbikerider you too beautiful soul ❤️

Hey, I’m riding a small size frame and I’m 5:8inch. I was between frame sizes (small/medium) so I highly recommend downsizing if you’re in the same situation. A smaller frame is much more comfortable and nimble to ride and obviously lighter. The Creo is a fantastic bike and it still puts a smile on my face every time I ride it. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

@@electricbikerider I was looking at the Creo page and the size chart and at 183-184 cm puts me in the L to XL size. Thing is I tend to have long inseam for my height at nearly 34 inch which usually has me having the saddle "way up there" (note one fake knee, so limit motion also require high saddle height). I do have a couple other e-bikes for cruising around, but they are not road bikes. Certain days I like to do group rides with road bikers and that is why I'm looking at the Creo. At 70+ with the fake knee, having the help for those hills can be the difference between “doing it” and or another route. Ya, the Creo isn't cheap, but seems to be one of the better e-road bikes out there. I'm hearing that stem is quite nice and some say a difference maker. Also, curious as to the exact bag you use for tools, pump etc., as I thought I saw a bag on top bar just ahead of the seat. I'll have a look through your video to see if you have an accessories video. The buttons for shifting the pedal assist from off, to Eco, etc., seems like something nice to have, so one can keep hands on the bars. Is that a Specialized thing, as I don't see it. Maybe just chat with the bike shop. Thanks.

@@NOWitsOKto You probably would benefit from visiting a Specialized bike shop to get a feel for the bike and get fitted etc because like you said there not cheap. I have the Creo SL, which is road specific. The Creo 2 is a great bike but it’s Gravel specific which unfortunately doesn’t interest me as I prefer road riding more. Have you looked at the new Scott ADDICT RC eRIDE, it is an awesome road bike and one I would probably purchase if I were to buy one now. This Scott bike was featured in a EBR group ride video a few weeks ago, check it out. And as for the tailfin top tube pack, I have the 0.8ltr and I done a review on that.th-cam.com/video/29rrlrk0K5U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vVV3hKuz5-BEMOIU i hope that helps. ⚡️🚴🏻

@@electricbikerider Are you saying you like the Scott better than the Creo, or the looks of it? I was under the impression you really liked the Creo. I believe I watched that video, and fail to see anything special about the Scott other than a nice paint job. Would like to learn more, as it seems people really like the Creo's Future Shock which even on the cheapest 2024 model is version 3.1. Thoughts?

Hi, I absolutely love my Creo SL road bike, I wouldn’t change it for the world. The Creo v2 is an amazing bike but it’s just not for me as it’s a gravel bike. It has flared bars for gravel trails a dropper post for steep slopes and the wheel rims are too wide for thinner slick road tyres. If I was in the market for the best gravel bike the Creo v2 would be my choice. I prefer riding the tarmac more than the gravel trails. That why I have two sets of the same wheels, one set up for the road and the second set up for gravel, so I have the best of both worlds. 🚴🏻⚡️

@@brookes79 Hi Leon, so sorry to hear about your accident, you must be gutted mate for not being able to get out for a ride with all this nice weather we have been having. I wish you a speedy recovery and thank you for watching. 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

Hi Jeff, I have the wahoo roam v2 it’s a great piece of equipment, and has never let me down, unlike my old Garmin bike computer. That thing would switch off mid ride, lose gps signal, the screen would freeze and was definitely not reliable. My Wahoo home page display is Speed, watts, cadence, hart rate, miles traveled Ascent, grade Temperature, clock Total time, e-bike mode. I hope that helps buddy and thanks for watching 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

@@electricbikerider Thanks Harv... definitely helps! 🙂

Hey Kevin, I absolutely love the specialized pathfinder pro tyres, and the 38mm works perfectly for me. Like you I manly road ride, and these are very fast and comfortable. The fact that you can just leave the tarmac road and jump on a gravel road or trails is fantastic. My motor remote buttons are placed on the bar bend were the brake lever hoods start, if that helps buddy. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

@electricbikerider yeah that's where I'm planning to put my remote buttons too. I can't tell from video but did you put yours underneath the bar tape?

@@kevinjackson5071 yes they are positioned under the bar tape. ⚡️🚴🏻

Can I ask what brand and model your saddle and top tube bags are please ? They look to be a good job

Hi Kevin, my saddle is a specialized power, this one came fitted with the bike when purchased, and I like it. The top tube pack is from tailfin, mine is a 0.8ltr bag and I highly recommend it. I did do a review if you want to know more about this. Take care. ⚡️🚴🏻th-cam.com/video/-FC6u5wDQAo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NRQGQ7pPAinKlhjM

Hey Fred, I Never hug the kerb Fred, that's rule one of road cycling. You need to be further out into the road, sometimes right in the middle of the traffic stream. Being in the traffic stream helps you to get treated like traffic. Cycling near the gutter may feel safer but sadly It vastly increases the chances of drivers buzzing past you with inches to spare. You'll have to contend with drains covers and debris like broken glass etc. And you're less likely to be seen at all by drivers. Just like in Japan and here in the UK, the commonest type of car-cyclist collision is the 'Sorry, mate, I didn't see you' variety. You must register in a driver's field of vision. You'll do that best by cycling where they are looking. Drivers look where their vehicle will be in the next few seconds, which is to say: ahead of them. They pay much less attention to people and objects in their peripheral vision. You and I Fred may feel exposed riding further out from the kerb. But it's very rare for cyclists to get rear-ended by drivers. Being safe is being seen - and forcing drivers to react to your presence is key. Take care and happy riding 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

@@rivergladesgardenrailroad8834, Hey Andrew, yes I did ride past westcott but unfortunately I didn’t film that part. The last time I did film in and around that area was my vlog ( cows on the run ) 😁 take care and thanks again for watching 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

Hey Sarah I trust you are well. I love that route, it’s about 40 miles long obviously all road riding, so it’s nice and fast, which I like. Next Tuesday and the following Tuesday I’m showing the rest of that loop so I hope you enjoy these as well. I can’t believe I didn’t get a thumbs up from you 🥺 I’m so sad. Is there anywhere you would like me to ride for you ? Take care and thanks again for watching. 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

Wahoo head unit. Majority of the beeping is from the Garmin Varia for approaching vehicles. Bike is limited to 15.5mph from the motor. Anything above that speed is leg power like any other bike.

@@coconutman1980 I am US so we get to go a little faster hence why I asked. I was thinking the beeping was related to approaches from the rear at one point. Then it almost seemed like it beeped for all of the intersections.

The 28th limit would be fantastic, but UK law doesn’t allow it. I have the Garmin Varia on my bike and it does beep away. It gives peace of mind though when on the road and is one of the best purchases I have made from a safety perspective 👍🏻

Hey CncObsession I hope you’re well buddy. That beeping is from my wahoo, the Garmin Radar, is feeding me information about what is going on behind me and also notifications for my mapping etc. You can switch it off but that defeats the whole purpose of the radar, because I ride solo it’s always looking back for me and keeping me a little safer on the roads. The motor will only assist me up to 15.5 mph and then I’m on my own. Thanks for watching and happy riding 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

before I modified mine [planet3] I used to get 27.3kph before cut out. Here in Australia, the limit is 25kph [ same as Europe], but there is always an upper margin built in. High Harvey.😊

Hey DCV, the weather this year has been awful, it’s been so cold high winds and so much rain etc finally the sun is shining and the temperature has risen. I really don’t know what’s going on with the environment, but something is definitely happening to it. Many thanks for watching and take care. 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

Hi Jeff, that was a really nice route, but I must admit the first part of the trail is rough. The second part of the gravel trail, from Fingle bridge onwards is lovely and smooth to ride with beautiful scenery. Take care and thanks for watching. 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

Hey Gren, that’s very kind of you, I’m glad you found this vlog helpful. Thanks for watching and happy riding 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

Hi Philipp, some of the lanes I ride are very narrow and it can get interesting very quickly. I am used to riding these lanes but I can never get complacent, I’m always looking and listening for vehicles. The Specialized Pathfinder Pro tyres are very comfortable and I really like them. I have the 38c tyres, they really work for me, as they are great for road riding and gravel trails etc not too wide or narrow, just right, and I really do recommend them. I hope you are having great summer weather in your beautiful country and able to get out and ride. Thanks for watching and take care. 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

Hi Lawrence, I must admit the weather has been much nicer since the EBR ride. You couldn’t make it up 😂😂 I hope you are well, thanks for watching and happy riding. 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

@@scottybeeuk Thanks for watching Scotty 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

Hi Burdonite, The South West is a great place for cyclists. There are many many miles of flat coastal cycle paths, river side gravel roads and miles of canals to cycle along all leading to and through beautiful places, perfect for families. If you like road cycling Devon is a hilly area to ride, but the challenge is always enjoyable. I wish you luck if you do decide to relocate here and thank you for watching take care 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

Hi JC, yes buddy my GoPro is chest mounted to film these POV vlogs. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

@@electricbikerider not seen that before

Hi Fred, thanks for your positive feedback buddy. I know these POV vlogs are not for everyone, but they can be interesting to watch especially for those who do indoor training etc. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

Hi Andrew, to keep the POV vlog as short as possible, I’m riding faster than I would normally ride, especially on a shared path. Thankfully it was nice and quiet, take care and thanks for watching. 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

Hey Andrew what part of the world are you living in right now ? 🚴🏻

Hi Jonathan, that’s a great route to ride and even better when the sun is shining. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

Hey James, you were missed buddy. As you can see Lawrence brought the rain with him again. 😂😂 Thanks for watching 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

@electricbikerider i will gjve that route a try (when it's dry)🚴🚴🖼

Hi Sarah, the weather this year has been horrendous, cold, wet and windy. The guys are legends for that ride and as usual another memorable EBR Social Ride. 😅 Take care and thanks again for watching, happy riding. 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

@@mikethomas6051 Hi Mike, the EBR Social Ride was on the 7th July. The weather lately has been horrendous, cold, wet and windy and ride down the road and it’s sunny and warm. 🤣 Thanks for watching and happy riding 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

@@CupkakesLol Hi Cuupo, Sadly this case still hasn’t been solved and I don’t think it ever will be. It’s been so long since poor Genette disappeared, but thankfully she is has not been forgotten. Thank you for watching and your part in keeping her memory alive. 🙏🏻

@@adehooper6780 Hi Ade, despite the weather, we had a good laugh and as always the EBR Social Ride was memorable. Thanks for watching and happy riding. 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

@@JonathanPinnell, Hi Jonathan, the weather this year has been horrible, wet, chilly and windy, so much for global warming 🤣 despite the the bad weather that day it was enjoyable and memorable. Thanks for watching and happy riding 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

@@17Blower Hi Paul, the weather that day was horrendous, and definitely not typical of Devon 😂😂 as always, the EBR Social ride was a memorable day. Thanks for watching and happy riding. 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

Hi David, I had the K edge out front mount on my giant defy, it was great. But I much preferred the Specialized stem mount. It just looks much nicer and when fitted it becomes part of the bars rather than attached to the bars, if you know what I mean. Thanks for watching. 🚴🏻

@@JonathanPinnell hi Jonathan, that was a really nice start to my ride, the full video is out soon. Thanks again for watching 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

@@SwazersC Hey buddy, I was definitely in the mood for that ride, 😀 the full video is out in a couple of weeks. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

Hi Andrew, the Silca saddle bag is working really well for me, but I think it’s a little expensive for what it is. Thanks for watching. ⚡️🚴🏻🙏🏻

@@bangers277 Hi Mike, the weather was bad buddy, I can’t believe this is are summer weather again. I hope you still enjoyed your ride. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

Yes still enjoyed it went today weather a lot better ☀️

@@yuniyonson Hi June, I still can’t believe after all these years we still don’t know what really happened to poor Genette. Thank you for watching. 🙏🏻

@@90Drock Hi buddy, the fidlock water bottle is great and works really well, I’ve had this system on many bikes and love it. Thanks for watching. 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

@@JonathanPinnell Hey Jonathan I hope you’re well buddy. I really did enjoy that ride and it was nice to have the time to ride an unplanned route, doing that makes for a great adventure. 😀 Take care and thanks for watching. ⚡️🚴🏻

@@michellesgoldberg Hey Michelle I hope you’re well. You have great taste as the Silca saddle bag is awesome. I needed to replace my old one, and this had 5 star reviews so it was a no brainer, and I’m not disappointed. It’s great to hear from you again and thanks for watching. Take care and happy riding. ⚡️🚴🏻

Hi Paul, he did pop out of that side path rather quickly, thankfully I had just passed those two cyclists and was pulling in front. I think we both leaned a lesson there for the future, I certainly have anyway. Thanks again for watching and take care. 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻

@@chrislkay Hi Chris, this is the link to the chainring I purchased www.wolftoothcomponents.com/products/110-bcd-cyclocross-chainrings, I highly recommend it, and I haven’t had a chain drop since. Thanks for watching ⚡️🚴🏻

@@carandroid Hi, the video quality of the Garmin Varia is good enough to capture vehicle registration numbers. I highly recommend it and personally I wouldn’t ride on the roads without the Varia. Thanks for watching. 🚴🏻

@@MrAnon-2024 Hey Paul, I know what you are saying about the typical dog you may come across at a Traveler site. As I rode through this site and saw that poor little lab, I had to go back to meet her. I felt so sorry for her, as she was trying so desperately to stand up and greet me, and that broke my heart. Thanks for watching. 🐶🚴🏻

@@michellesgoldberg, Hi Michelle, I must admit I was very sad that the dogs were gone. I only wanted to give them a treat as I felt so sorry for them chained up like that. I hope they are ok, thanks for watching, take care. 🚴🏻🐶

Hey Sarah, I was very sad not to see that black lab on my return trip back to the traveller site. I only wanted to give her treats and show her some love. I can only guess the owner got suspicious of me I moved them somewhere else. My two cats, Daisy and Lily wouldn’t have missed out on those treats, because I always spoil my girls anyway. Take care and thanks again for watching. ⚡️🚴🏻😊

@@steveradford5460 Hey Steve, my remote buttons are placed right on the bend where the lever Hood Covers start, and that works for me. I do occasionally switch the motor off accidentally but it’s not a problem. You definitely need to have them placed in a position that works for you, and in a place where you can effortlessly change mode, like in the same position as mine. Good luck buddy and thanks for watching. ⚡️🚴🏻👍🏻

@@electricbikerider Thanks for confirming location of your remotes. I have Creo 2 with dropper seat, lever for dropper is located in your left remote position. I'll probably get the shop to move them outwards 15mm each side from current position to align with thumbs when riding with hands on tops. Enjoying the Creo 2, just installed the Zefal mudguards after watching your video.

@@rivergladesgardenrailroad8834 Hi Andrew, I was deeply sad not to see the dogs on my return visit. I feared the owner might do that, as I probably raised suspicion. They knew in their hearts that those poor dogs were not being properly loved and cared for, but they live a different lifestyle than me. I really wasn’t there to judge or report anyone, I just wanted to treat those dogs. Thanks for watching ⚡️🚴🏻👍🏻

Sad not to see the lab again. Beautiful trip though 👍

@@electricbikerider Most likely stolen and had been sold on. If they owned those dogs there would be no need to have then tied up like that. I dont like to judge but we know it happens 😞

@@Creopaul hi Paul, I don’t know what happened to that poor lab, I spent some time with her not on film as my battery ran out, but I could see the love in her eyes and it broke my heart. I hope she’s okay. Thanks for watching ⚡️🚴🏻

@@JonathanPinnell Hi Jonathan, I hope you’re well buddy. I really enjoyed that ride, so thank you for watching. Take Care. ⚡️🚴🏻👍🏻
