  • I Zwift race with a team called Biehler Syndicate and they were hosting a group ride form Richmond Park to Henley and back. So i thought i would cycle up to London, do the ride and then cycle back home. All in all a 215km day. A lot of fun with a whole group of new cycle buddies. Some instagram links below:
    Also... i really hope someone can complete the infamous TopGun quote.

    Using a bar mirror makes a lot more sense for me than a radar - less to go wrong, charge up and remember! I wouldn't have a bike without one now!

    In my opinion a radar is a must have, especially if you ride on roads that are busy. My radar saved my life from a crazy truck driver.

      I agree. I dismissed the idea of radar for years, but eventually capitulated; now I wouldn't be without it. It's a bit annoying that the light turns itself off randomly and I get regular radar disconnection errors, mind (Varia RTL515 with an Edge 830)

    • @thewattlife
      @thewattlife  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It’s super handy- and I do like it. Definitely make you feel more comfortable.
      I never got any disconnect issues and the light didn’t turn itself off.
      Pretty happy with its performance so far

      @@thewattlifethe Garmin has a peloton mode. I had a car driver pull up beside me and wound his window down. I was expecting some form of abuse but instead he said he wanted to comment on my light! He said it was ‘stupendously’ good. I didn’t realise it at the time but the Garmin increases the flash intensity on detection as the vehicle approaches.

    Love the new video drop. But can I say one thing , the music constantly in the back ground is a bit loud or too much bass . I keep thinking you have a boy racer behind you about to overtake with the tunes thumping . Not a big deal but when wearing headphones 🎧 it’s very noticeable and distracting . But loving the regular vids , keep them coming . 👍🏻

    I always use my garmin radar - they really are excellent. It doesn't replace the need to double check / look over my shoulder, however it does pick up cars way before I'd be able to hear them, indicates if they are really motoring along at speed compared to me etc. Allows me to cycle more in the middle of the road when there is nothing behind me and provide ample time for me to move across as traffic approaches.. gives me the choice to listen to music without fear of not knowing if a vehicle is coming up behind me as I can still hear the audible beep off my 840.. plus having a light on regardless of conditions is always good

    • @thewattlife
      @thewattlife  หลายเดือนก่อน

      AGREE with all of this- especially sitting a little wider on the road when solo and feeling comfortable. You know you’ll have a good heads up when you can move 1-2 feet back over.

      I agree they are super useful but they shouldnt replace good road awareness and shoulder checks regularly when needed.
      If its perfect bright weather i often dont take it. Personal choice but i see your point

    I get you're making content and all that, but if you were vlogging on a group ride I was on, riding one handed, I'd either tell you to put it away or I'd leave the group. If something happened in front of you, you're a liability as you can't react as quickly as if you weren't filming. Just my 2p.

    • @thewattlife
      @thewattlife  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Always happy for your 2p but you might notice that there’s no content from when we’re at high speed.
      And a lot of the content where I’m talking to the camera I’m off the wheel in front.
      I cycle first, content second. ✌🏻✌🏻
