How long did it take bike time, I cycle on it daily by Liverpool on way home from work
That's one of the best videos I've seen. Thanks for that. I'm disabled and bedridden, I've not been out for two and a half years so that journey was brilliant for me. We'll done. Please do another
Check out a guy called Ed Pratt, he solo cycled around the world on a unicycle, well worth a watch
Hey Paul.....I don't know u but i wish u all the best for the future.
I enjoyed video too.
Here are two cycle channels you might like: Wheels to Wander, Louisa and Tobi. They both did/do world tours and have some fantastic, scenic shots, as well as being really nice couples.
Paul, if there is any glimmer of hope for you having any recovery, I sincerely wish you it.
Thanks Paul, glad you enjoyed this video, would love it if you checked out some of my other videos so you can see my adventures up in the mountains, its not cycling but some fantastic views and scenery!
Just found this channel while scrolling through. This guy is a legend, I love his honest and down to earth commentary he says it as it is. Fantastic content with entertaining and amusing commentary. Must be a true Yorkshireman😊
One of the best videos I’ve seen in a while. Absolutely nailed the use of music. Music disconnects you from what you are experiencing.
Well done for the effort!!
Wow thank you, kind words! Appreciate the comment.
What an adventure!Brilliant 11th hour wild camp.
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Enjoyed thst mate.... i get a strong impression that you're simply being u and ur relaxed personality shines through making this a very enjoyable vid
Love these videos arriving in my notifications! 😂👍🏻 another great video! Well done mate.
Appreciate the support mate!! Thanks for the comment
Fantastic video,as always, pleasure to watch
Well done Liam, great video. Keep em comin.😀
Thank you, will do!
If you plan to do more canal rides / camps get a waterway s key for water and toilet s . canal planner app is also good to plan your stops shows you what's about food wise and where the next water taps are . Iv done thousands on miles along UK water ways never had a problem camping or with locals . Weather wasn't kind to you . But hay you looked like you sort of enjoyed the trip. Well done .
Great stuff, loved it! Cheers, Dave 👍
Thanks Dave, appreciate it 👍🏼
Good videos Mr.
You seem like a nice genuine good chap!
Two friends and myself did this route in September ‘21. Great route, some pretty bumpy sections along the way.
Thats great, did you enjoy it ?
Yeah some sections are really bumpy!
Great video, loved watching.❤❤
Thanks Alan, feeling the support mate!
We need more videos like this...thoroughly enjoyed it. You're lucky to have such a level to ride, alongside canals. I'm in Bromley, Kent and have the Himiway Cruiser and have turned it into a cargo bike...mainly for my hammock stealth camps. This, I found inspirational. Well done mate, hope to see more like this.
TH-cam has thousands of videos like this my guy..
@@iwearLingerie Most seem to be abroad though
That was really enjoyable, looked difficult in the heavy rain. Very stealthy camp ! Look forward to your next video
Yeah was raining quite a lot, especially on the second day! Glad you enjoyed the video 👍🏼
Another belting video mate they just keep getting better, love watching the videos Liam keep up the good work 😊
Cheers Jason mate!
Well done. You made it seem like a short journey. Glad the video popped up in my tv. I was brought up near the Rishton to Church section and later had a girlfriend who lived near the Mile Tunnel at Foulridge. Beautiful mix of countryside and industrial heritage.
Glad you found the video and enjoyed it mate! Thanks for watching
Enjoyed the video. Used to live in Leeds and cycled the Leeds Liverpool canal towpath in my youth, brought back great memories. Well done.😊
Thanks Roy, glad you enjoyed it!
First time viewer. Excellent video. Great effort…..loved that you held out using the power until 40 miles left 👍🏼 Subscribed 👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching and subscribing 👍🏼
Hardcore 🚴♀️💪 u know the score Liam! Great effort, great vid 👏🏻
Thanks Craig, appreciate the support mate!
Loved this video. I am a Donny bloke living in Liverpool so I know those canal paths really well. Well done on the ride.
Brill mate, love the content. You could do anything and I'd find it entertaining 😅 keep em coming.
Haha love that bro! Feeling the support mate.. see you on the next 1
1:42 3:49 21:27 Nodding to random blokes is actually the law
Well done Liam! A Very entertaining Video! 👏🤘😎🤘
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it.
Nice one mate I,m a Leeds lad living in Scotland now was nice to see the canal and spots I used to fish on was I was a young un …down on my to do list this. Deffo worth a sub fir that effort. Atb Coops 👍🏻🚴
Hi mate what a brilliant video, you are great to watch and listen to what an epic ride 😊
Thank you mate, appreciate that 😊👍🏼
great little road trip.... more please
Respect mate its hard peddling an ebike with the motor off nevermind doing 70 plus miles.
Yeah pretty heavy to be using it without the motor!
Cracking video. Enjoyed that. Got the same trip planned next year, as I live near the canal in Liverpool. Planning on riding to Leeds on my gravel bike then back home the next day via the Trans Pennine Trail. Done similar in a day from Scarborough to the Albert Dock in 11 hours a few years ago
Thanks mate, you'l enjoy it, was a great trip.
Smashed it 👌🏻 it’s class hearing a fellow Bradford lads accent mush 😂
Brilliant mate.
Loved the reference to the club too. Been there on a few occasions myself.
Donk donk donk.......
Haha love it mate! Thanks for watching
If I knew you were coming to liverpool I would have done you a bowl of scouse! 👍

Excellent!! What a great ride!
Thanks mate!! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great effort - enjoyed that one!
Thank you 👍🏼
You made it look easy mate! Well done!
Looked easier than it was mate😅 Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Great video, it just popped up on my recommended so ive followed your channel to watch more. Ive cycled some of that, the 5 rise locks climb killed me 😂. Hello from a fellow Bratfordian 😁
Love that! Good to see a fellow ‘Bratfordian’ following the channel! Makes a change from the ‘What is that accent???’ Comments 🤣
Thanks for watching and subscribing 😊
Love my chocolate nibbles 😉and Wigan pier I went the once.. love your video mate… steady away 👊🏻 your smashing it
Haha me too mate… Thanks bro 👍🏼
Really enjoyed 😎this one bro 👌
Thanks bro, feeling the support mate 👌🏼
Brilliant, very entertaining sir 👍
Love your channel, great videos. Having lived in Thailand for the last 14 years I'd forgotten how crappie the UK weather can be. Keep up the good work 😊
They need to make the LLC an off road properly surfaced part of the NCN.
Good call starting in Liverpool. Best bit is after Foulridge tunnel.
Well done pal, great adventure. I did Bradford to Silsden and back … a few year ago and my arse still hasn’t recovered 😂😂
Haha yeah bikes are ruthless man, guess you just get used to it over time. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Well done mate, smashed it 👍🏻
Thanks Andy, appreciate it mate!
Very enjoyable, keep up the good work
Thank you 😊👍🏼
Another cracking video 👍
Thank you Carol, glad you enjoyed it, something different.
Well done Liam hats off to ya peddling most the way no e bike assist the weight of the bike plus camping kits ive been wanting to do liverpool to leeds myself but on a normal mountain bike so it's made me more interested now loved the wigan pier bit 😂
Yeah In hindsight i’d of probs just done it on a normal bike and saved 10kg on the weight!
Get it done mate 👌🏼
Great video and ride, well done
Thanks mate!
Great vid, new subscriber here. I'm from the Wirral, so 10 miles away from Liverpool. This looks like an awesome journey I might give a go. Don't have an ebike though so down to old leg power, you did a great job cycling for the majority of the journey on a heavy ebike. Gonna binge watch your earlier content :D
Such a brilliant video and a brilliant adventure
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
71 and walk the leeds liverpool canal everyday.From Parbold to Arpley Bridge.And back.
Fab video! I've done multi day rides here in Wales on my Trek Powerfly. I recently bought a second battery which goes in my saddle bag. So two day routes are much easier.
Yeah a second battery would be ideal for the multiday trips! Thanks for watching.
How random is that !!
I've only just discovered your channel tonight I live in Rishton .
Think I'm going to do the Leeds Liverpool ride my self this summer best thing about it I can kip in my own bed at the halfway point .
Wigan pier eh had a few nights out there myself when the tunes where oldskool before the music turned to donk .
New subscriber here 😊
Just come across your channel. Well worth a watch. Been to Leeds a canny few times and did wonder what this stretch of the cannal looked like.
Thanks mate welcome to the channel!
Great achievement. well done
Thank you for watching 👍🏼🚴🏼
Really enjoyed that!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching, hopefully see you on the next vid 😊👍🏼
Nice one well done , went to low moor a while back to do the spen vally greenway .
Thanks mate! Yeah I did the spen valley greenway a few times to prepare for this trip 👍🏼
What a Guy, reminds me why some people climb Everest? It’s so the rest of us don’t have too😂. Epically inspiring ! Top man!!
top video, top editing and top thumb nail, oh, and the algorithm loves you :)
Thanks mate, I don't have a clue how the algorithm, think its just all about the thumbnail and title really to get people clicking.
thanks for watching mate
Great video, TH-cams algorithm provides again!! Rode right near where I work and right past where I live 😁
The good old TH-cam algorithm eh! Thanks for watching mate.
Dreams can become reality love the video
Yeah man, smashed it ,need to get me sen a canal boat they look sick lol
Thanks bro
I enjoyed that. I used to run / row several stretches on that canal. I'd need more than two days now though...
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
Great effort
.well done
Thanks David
Thanks , liked and subbed , great effort .
Thank you 👍🏼
Pedalling that far with the assistance turned off is impressive! I wonder how many miles you'd have needed to do without the battery if you'd put it on the lowest setting, given the motor doesn't assist above about 15mph. From a fair bit of cycling canal paths and old railway lines what strikes me is that because it's all on the flat you never get a break from pedalling, no freewheeling downhill apart from the odd lock. And in and close to towns there are lots of walkers and dogs to slow you down. I'm surprised this one isn't an official cycle route all the way. I did Dumbarton to Edinburgh a few years ago on the Forth & Clyde and Union Canals, stopped overnight in Linlithgow (I hate camping, I don't do it) and there are some spectacular viaducts, a great tunnel, and the Falkirk Wheel along the way. Good surface, it's all an NCN cycle route.
Greg video. I own an Himiway “Big Dog” and you have inspired me to get out more. Thank you.
Love that! Thanks for watching.
You certainly like outside the box mate.🍺👍
Always mate 👌🏼
Picked a rough spot there pal in Rishton 😂. Good vid pal 👍
😂😂 i’d never heard of it until I did this trip but yeah few people have mentioned its pretty dodgy hahaha
Brilliant ❤
Amazing! Can’t believe that you did that. I’d be a corpse...
Wasn’t easy mate , don’t think i’ve sat on a bike since and this was filmed weeks ago 🤣
@@GoodBlokeOutdoors LOL 😆
🙌🏻
Well done interesting video journey some very trying manual cycling
Thank you 👍🏼
Yes brother well done when I rode my ebikes from Sheffield to Chesterfield next yo the canal I stopped at two cafes on the way but you didn't pass one cafe along the canal man, so bad may because it was s proper bike bath next to the canal because they were parents kids elderly people all riding ebikes with the posh Bosch motor's at one bit a train pulled up next to the boats well i would call them Barges 😋
Quality mate 👍
Thanks 👍
I've got absolutely no interest in bikes but i enjoyed this video because of you mate! You crack me up 😆
FYI ive just been looking at ebikes on amazon 😅
Crackin run ah kid😎👌🏼I’ve a cube acid E bike…..it’s a balance on distance when to kick in the battery….. you did well 💪🏼
Thanks mate! Appreciate it
Congratulations from Across The Pond. I really enjoyed the video AND your awkseent. We cheat over here with 350+ watt motors and Throttle Only mode. I'm thinkin': extend the handlebar stem a few inches and replace the seat with one of the more cushy ones to spare the bwoons. ;-) My 74-year-old neck and shoulders ain't low-vin' the normal riding position.
Your a rock star good lad 😎
Legend 👌🏼
good choice of tent pall
well done boyo
Amazing video matey. Been wanting to do this for a number of years. Think this video has given me the push! Glad it’s not just my arse that hurts after riding that long! Quick question. Why did you go liverpool to leeds and not Leeds to Liverpool? Just wondering in case there was a reason so I don’t go the wrong way! Cheers
Love the challenge . Next time your up for another trip and need company let me know I’ll be up for a trip 💪
Thanks for watching mate, glad you enjoyed the challenge.
Most underestimated TH-camr I've seen for a long time. How are you on 5k subs, your vids are amazing!
Kind words I appreciate it 👌🏼 Slowly but surely with the subs. More than happy with where i’m at for now but hope to keep building them up as I continue with the vids. Thank you 😊
Well done mate...
Thanks bro
Well done pal , always wanted to do leeds to Liverpool on bike, you did well on first day to smash off what you did 😊
Thanks pal
Im coming from Australia to walk this in June, any tips on where to or not to camp. Love your videos by the way. Cheers. Dan
I did this on an old 90s bike with 7 gears 😂 took the train back to Liverpool but it was a child ride
8:00 that moment when you find a Style....Zoinks 😂 Arnie can i borrow yer biceps 😉
My wife did the Leeds to Liverpool run a few years ago, on a normal bike. It took her three days. When she got home I made her take a shower immediately. A key is available from the canals trust to use the lockable toilets.
Did you do wild camping along the way ? would of loved to attempt it on a normal bike.
well done pal 😊
Thanks Pal 👍🏼
I've got the train to Leeds then cycled back to barrowford and regularly cycle from colne to Blackburn. Would love to do the whole canal
Get it done mate, decent ride 👌🏼
Top lad💪💪😊
Thanks bro 👊🏽
Go on son 🙌
orange choc nibbles did it for me, Subbed lol
Hahaha thank you👍🏼👍🏼 legend
no idea why this got recommend to me but glad it did very interesting video
the magic of youtube mate, thanks for watching!
well done pall
Cheers pal
Inspiring, great video 👍
While i know it would be less pleasant for you, can you use the battery from the start on the next one and see how long you can nurse it for along the journey. I'm considering a similar journey and will take two batteries.
Yeah I think i need to do a proper battery test and see how long it can actually last.
Perhaps a bit of forward thinking and looking at a map to identify the up hill bits (contor lines) to make use of the power at the haed points of need. Other than that, really enjoyed watching your journey. Thanks for posting it.
Yeah that makes sense mate and would certainly get the most out of the motor!
Well done mate
Some typical weather there too
What do you reckon the battery would stand in range having done that trip as a benchmark
