    Great video again Stephen and thanks for posting! Absolutely terrible decision to have Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen to switch on the lights! I believe he's 'designed' or 'reimagined' some of the illuminations but they're not exactly the most brilliant, creative or unusual lights? Perhaps a poorly child from a local hospital would have been a better choice and I'm sure they would have loved it too.

    Cycling used to be a really big thing back in the 70s and 80s, but due to overpopulated roads and traffic has seen a decline. I love watching ride the lights, i think this would make a good event for Blackpool long term and maybe more often and an added stretch in the sring mornibg from st annes to cleavleys for tjose adventurous enough. Thanks Stephen x

      @number6ix929 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen hasn't 'reimagined' the most unusual, spectacular or novel illuminations has he? Just seem to be overuse of colour-changing Led's nowadays, not much effort put into the designs at all!

    Blackpool promenade is quite spectacular with all the big colourful hotels from north to south, however i was a bit disappointed with the illuminations from the tower down to the pier not as good as they used to be when there was funny faces, dancing girls ,animals etc all manner of different lit bulbs, now it seemed quite bland.......There was so much congestion at times with the riders you did very well Stephen to avoid bumping into others, and kudos to you how you keep up a running commentary .......Enjoyed the video very much.

    WOW im only a minute in and already spotted whoever it was that had the lit-up bumper car style transport that was FAB! I'm sure you will comment later on in the vid if you catch up or see them. TBH that was just great to see at this point in the vid as it was Imaginative and not just a bike or a bike with lights on! BRAVO to them for the imagination and doing it! I HOPE more folks will take that Initiative in the future to ride the lights as things like that make it more interesting and a spectacle for folks along the seafront! AND promote the ride the lights event! and OBV It gets bigger and more popular as the yrs go on ..if so then Blackpool council will prob have to extend it beyond the 3 hrs and make it a yearly event posibly spread over a couple of days to accomodate those that want to do it as its getting more and more popular ! Once again a top-notch video of ride the lights by you Stephen as per Usual you NEVER let us down with events like this ! thats why a subscribe as you keep me up to date on whats going on in Blackpool as i said before my holiday destination as a kid from Manchester and even though im down Bristol i still like to keep tabs on what's going on in my fave holiday place!
