whaou so many 🥇🥇🥇 i have so much respect for your admirable mindset. i wish i could find a louise just like you in my area one day.
Hey, thanks for the Great Video! Do I need to use grease for the pedals or can I do it without because it’s just used indoor?
It was nice to see the area before the fires started. I could see Pacific Palisades from your view in the plane and of course that is all now gone. So tragic. On another note, that Waymo was cool. I have seen other videos in them, and want to try it so much. My next time in LA or Phoenix I will have to try. Cold there in England? We have a few days of below 0 degrees F here in Minnesota. Thanks for sharing Lou!
Hi Tim, glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the kind words, stay warm! ❤️
Happy new year 🎉🎉
dear louise, do you know if purchasing the zwift bike is giving an advantage in comparison to other brands such as rebook fr30? i mean, there is the virtual gears that maybe can help to climb. i don't wan to enter the competition with a less efficient bike, but at the same time there is a $1000 difference! could you please help or giving recommendation? i hope you're having a good day, take care.
Hi there, no there’s no extra bonus on zwift for having a zwift bike apart from a virtual badge or something, you certainly don’t get extra watts, that wouldn’t be fair at all. The bikes are very accurate and are used to race on at the highest level. You’re certainly not at a disadvantage on them either though.
@@MyLouTube thanks for your honest reply, i saw "sponsored" youtubers telling the opposite. cheers.
@@Housestationliveso people are claiming the zwift bikes over read the watts? That’s just not true. As soon as anyone raced on them and had to provide double power readings this would have come to light. I have power pedals and they read the same as the power coming from the Zwift ride and my other Wahoo smart trainer.
Vandaag het laatste deel ontvangen en eens geprobeerd, maar wat trapt hij zwaar. Nu ontdekken hoe ik deze op een lichter trappen kan zetten. Want er is geen één video die dit uitlegt… zo zie je maar weer ik ben nog echt een dummy met smartbikes🤣
Do you need to change gear? Is the chain in place properly?
Ik zie dat de kabels aan het stuur een usb aansluiting heeft. Ik heb een i pad maar hoe laat ik hem op als hij leeg is?
A battery pack is really handy for this!
Thank you for this video-really helpful!
Glad to help! 🧡
But did Rob capture any Munzees while in the driverless car or was he watching the road the whole time?
Waymo added a lot of sensors to those Jaguar I-Paces, I was involved with some systems on the standard car, it's both cool and scary at the same time. Heart breaking views of LA devastation is of the charts.
Great video the best and worst of Hollywood in couple of days . Glad your safe thoughts go out all concern.😢
Not sure I’m ready to ride in a driverless car. The images on the news of the fires is heartbreaking. It is going to take such a long time to rebuild. My weather forecast is dry today so I will be putting on all the layers and going out on the bike.
Safe ride, good on you! ❤️
Unfortunately fires are a part of California life. I’ve lived here for over 40 years and have been through a few major fires but this one is especially awful! I’m glad you enjoyed your visit here. The riding here during winter is great with some of the most beautiful scenery in the country.
There is no roadrage from that invisible driver. Thanks for sharing that experience.
That’s true!!
Love the “Observe a tree” lol. In all seriousness, thanks for the kind words. The city needs it. Ride on!
❤️❤️❤️
The self driving car is a definite heck no for me. Google maps take me into some shady dead end roads while im driving 🤔 i would definitely rather have Rob drive me around for sure 👍 it was cool to see you both on foot to the sign 😎
Ah I don’t know. You haven’t been driven by Rob have you? 🤪🤪🤪
@@MyLouTube no mam I haven't but if I had to pick I would let Rob do it 🤣🤠 I don't trust automated terminators but think I would ride around with you and Rob with one of you driving 😎 it did look safe during your journey but I would not personally trust it 👍
I have had some Uber and shuttle rides where I would have gladly opted for no driver vs. the amateur NASCAR driver that I had! Thank you for sharing this most recent trip to the US!
🤣🤣🤣
WT.... You two are SO brave ! Even the vehicles in "The Fifth Element" "Total Recall" & "Bladerunner" have "drivers" ! No way could l trust a "bot" - Hope whoever has lost everything in the fires can summon the physical & mental fortitude to get through this. 🙏
I don't think you can process what is going on. You do your job as a way to cope and try not to lose it.
My god, just before the fires…..😢
Just awful xx
Nope. Don't think I could ride in that
Omg I would be shitting bowls of ice cream in that car 😮😂
I’m doing research for a possible ride to the Keys and it looked like there was plenty of shoulder to ride on. Or was that only the little bit I saw in the video? I’m used to riding next to traffic if there’s a shoulder but I definitely get stressed if no shoulder at all especially on that bridge. So I guess what I’m asking is we’re there long stretches with no shoulder at all?
Theres a shoulder as you can see, but it’s not wide and I found it scary because the traffic is moving fast, there’s sometimes debris in the way and if you get too close to the edge of the bridge there’s a worry you’d go over because the sides are not high. In a group it would be much less scary, I wouldn’t recommend it alone unless you are fearless!
@@MyLouTubeThanks for the reply. Being stuck between fast moving traffic and a jump into the Atlantic doesn’t sound very comfortable. I was thinking about riding from Miami. From what I’ve gathered so far other bike/pedestrian bridges on that route have been completed and offer safety. It’s only the 7 mile bike bridge that is not completed. Any info on that?
@@386Clarke we drove from Miami to Key West and I hoped to ride a lot of it, it just wasn't suitable at all no. With a group of people, on a sturdier bike than a road bike and with a large set of balls it would be possible. I had none of those things though! Many people have done it and they do advertise that you can ride the whole way, totally depends on what you're comfortable with. I think my video shows where my comfort level was at and I was way past that level. Admittedly I am a fairly cautious cyclist and not super brave when I'm solo though. I've heard there's a sportive, that would be a great way of riding it and would be fun, the views are absolutely incredible, it's a beautiful part of the world.
@@MyLouTubeI saw it advertised as the Overseas Highway Trail which made me think it was a nice path mostly separate from the highway but it looks like more road riding than I thought so it’s not as enticing. I lived in Florida for a year and I’ve been to the Keys and you’re right it is amazing. But I also know Florida drivers. I think there are more cyclists killed in Florida than any other state. I’m glad you survived. Cheers!
Random Nancy is the name of my Rolling Stones coverband.
Really weird to see you climbing up to the Hollywood sign thinking the area is destroyed days later 😮
You’re right. Completely surreal to see the difference a couple of days make. Shocking. Thankfully the “Sunset Fire” that was in the Hollywood area didn’t destroy any houses / structures and was 100% contained by the LAFD within a day. Sadly other areas weren’t so lucky and 1000s of people have lost their beautiful homes and all their things. I can’t even imagine. 💔
Certainly know your way around, it's terrible with the fires and the devastation for whole communities. Hope the return to cold icy UK wasn't too much of a shock to the system.🥶💗Did you mage to drag Rob (kicking and screaming) up to the sign for sunrise?
Thanks Kev, yes haha it's been a bit of a shock coming back to such cold weather and jet lag has hit me hard, but I really can't moan, feeling very fortunate. And yesssss I did get Rob up to the sign, video of that to come! 💗
@MyLouTube well done he didn't look too keen well worth the effort.
Welcome back to Los Angeles - your future home. 😃

Is DISNEY IN BED with FRZT???? who is?
Are you ok?!
At least give a shout out to FRZT for paying for this TRIP!!!!!!
FRZT did NOT pay for this trip and I my TH-cam channel is about my cycling adventures, not my day job. Thanks for stopping by though.
HEY LOU.... What are you going to do about the FRZT Shareholders paying for your Trips to Play around the GLOBE..... HOW ABOUT A SHOUT OUT for the TICKER SYMBOL that funds your lifestyle!!!!
Excuse me? You know nothing about me or how I pay for my holidays.
@@MyLouTube Pretty sure I do..... Your salaries are public company.... I know you are new to this, so you have been given a pass..... But You are a PUBLIC COMPANY FIGURE... And Yes we get to scrutinize..... Nothing you can do but leave FRZT!!!! Id like to see that
@@MyLouTube Tell the General Population that you were not in LA because FRZT paid for the Trip!!!!
@ I’m a contractor, not an employee, but you should know that already if you think you know everything about me? My personal life is absolutely none of your business, stop trolling me please.
@@MyLouTube Im not Trolling, Just looking for a Shout Out that you are for Some reason unwilling to Provide for your Husbands Public held Company!!!!
If you haven't seen it Lou There's a 38 min vlog of a guy riding round the LA fire zones, on his e-bike, at a pace ! John Hicks Riding in the Disaster Zones From the LA Fires
I watched it while I was on Zwift yesterday. Unreal. I was worried he was going to get zapped by powerlines on the ground a few times! Just awful what’s happened. Really feel for everyone there. 💔
I hope your friends are all safe.
Thank you. They all seem to be. Some have evacuated and not sure what they are going back to though. Terrible times.
Great video as always and seeing the fires on the news has definitely been shocking and saddening. I’m just back from a ride and can confirm it’s bloody freezing in the UK.
You’re braver than me riding outside in these temps! 🥶🥶🥶
That sunset was great , thanks ! WOW
Hi again Lou , my daughter lives near Griffith , she had to evacuate as we were talking the other day . She is back in her place , power , water air all good so far , thanks again for your concern .
I've been thinking of you and her the whole time. So glad to hear she's back home. Fingers crossed that's it now. 💗
@@MyLouTube I appreciate you greatly !
So cool to see that movie in that historic theater ❤ so happy that you have captured so much of the beauty of LA before the fire. So sad for everyone that have lost their homes and businesses. Best wishes to them all to stand strong and heal.
Will definitely be heading back to the cinema there, it really was beautiful, maybe next time for a film that doesn't have me on the edge of my seat though!!! Thanks for the kind words and yes, I'm with you on the best wishes to everyone there. 💗
@@MyLouTube how do you ride the bike? This is Boiboi like to eat auto to maple free when you got fun let me know about the biking riding OPLL downhill East auto home.
The i love it when I see you smile like this in the mirror Hutu is the best man in this country to
Thank you for the Video! It helped me so much 😊
Happy to help! Ride on!
Riding did look good, and your own shop with all that merch and pink too. No Rob mummy isn't going to give you any more pocket money to spend in the Casino😆
😆
Next time, be sure to do the River Mountains Loop Trail east of Vegas. Good ride.
Brilliant ok thank you, definitely want to go back! 💗
Wankers...
You ok mate?
That zip line looked like an E ticket ride.
I can't work out whether it would be fun or terrifying! Maybe both?!
Your friend mentioned Hash House a Go Go. The first one opened here in San Diego. You should come to here and do a feature of San Diego. Also we have a great British Pup called The Shakespeare Pub.
Fantastic yes, would love to come back to San Diego! We were there a couple of years ago and loved it. Unfortunately I was recovering from a serious injury so wasn't cycling, I've heard it's great there though! 💗
@ Can’t beat the weather.
“I have a card!” Very dangerous words in Las Vegas!😂
Too true! 😆
Loving your videos as always. I really hope all your friends in LA are keeping safe with all these horrific fires x
Thank you so much for the kind words! I've heard back from all of my friends and thankfully they are safe. Some have evacuated though and who knows what they will be going back to, just awful. 💔
Sad seeing the fires in LA now. Happy to see you in a new place. I gave up cycling years ago sadly. Most I ever rode in a day was just 140kms. After I quit had bad pain in my big toes. Not sure why. Needed surgery. I guess the cycling shoes I wore were not good for me at all 😢
Sorry to hear you don't ride anymore. Would you like to? Perhaps a good bike fit and cycling shoe assessment might help? 140kms in a day is decent, that's quite a few hours on a bike! Yes the LA fires are awful, so sad to see all the devastation. 💔
@@MyLouTube Most of that ride was on a gravel trail so was a bit slow. I miss my simple Giant OCR3 though. My toes never have been the same since the surgery so sold all my bikes. Its why I enjoy your videos though and others on here like that woman I see you with sometimes, katie kookaburra or something? I forget her name. Nice to see you in LA again in your new video. Interesting to hear you might move there one day. I still feel very sad about the fires also.
LV, my favorite city!!! To call Red Rock Canyon magical would be to undersell it in the biggest way! Truly amazing. I wonder if all of those people on The Strip and Downtown knew how close they were to being able to meet Lou Vardeman? You never know what you will see in Vegas!!
Hahaha. Yeah I was blown away by the cycling there. Wasn’t brave enough to cycle on the strip though, that was crazy down there!!!! Fun for a night out though and loved all the LV gear! 💖💖💖
Lou, stay in Vegas too much going on in LA. Good luck..
Thank you. I filmed this last week and went back to LA on Friday before it all kicked off. I’m safe though, I flew back to London on Monday. ❤️
Lou, my thoughts and prayers go out to your friends that you and Rob were house & dog-sitting for in Los Angeles, and of course to everyone in the area of the wildfires burning in the Malibu/Pacific Palisades/Pasadena area. I hope you've been able to confirm they're safe. - Bob (Toronto, Canada)
Thank you so much Bob. Rob & I are now home in UK but had a rather sleepless night watching footage of Hollywood burning. Just awful. Thankfully I think all our friends are ok, I've been texting them all the last few days. Some had to evacuate and don't know what they will return to. Terrible. Thank you for the kind words. 💗
Jan 8th All over Plague Island's News what's going down in LA. People losing EVERYTHING in the "blink of an eye" Sure it affects people you & Rob know. Heartbroken for them and must be VERY upsetting for you Lou & Rob
Terrible isn't it? Keeping a close eye on all our friends there, really worrying scenes. Thank you for the kind words 💗
Estimated Billion $'s worth of buildings destroyed. Fires out of control, firemen holding a hose to flames, futile ! Even caught a couple of "scrotes" looting ! No doubt going to look like "Ground zero" when the flames do die down. Insurance, if applicable, can cover certain things, but certain things prized personal objects, gone. Know what LA means to you Lou So sad
Can’t believe I’ve just spotted this, I know you mentioned on the ride you’ll be making a video! Love it!
Hi Ben!!! Thanks for watching, hope to ride with you again and that you're keeping well xx
