Friday Night Pizza Ride | Road Ride Around Highcliffe | BMW 3 Antics | Towild CL1200 Light Review 

Oy oy oy! 🤣😂

This bike gets used for commuting but it was good to give it a proper ride out! 😁🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️

We've been looking the other way over the pond at some of your fantastic rail and canal trails in the US. Maybe one day... Thanks for watching Richard 👍

🤣🔦

I'm glad it's not just me😁👍 Cheers Anthony

It's a lovely place David. 👍

@@julie-wheelersatlarge. A bit built-up for my liking. I know it well. Better now the radome has gone, I think.Dad looked at Mudeford also.

We sometimes head up gore road and stem lane to the forest. Put the kettle on 🤣👍

We have quite a comprehensive driving test but once that has been passed... There's very little to stop people driving how they want...

@@WheelersAtLarge same here in Utah. Still I wonder how some ever passed their test. Have fun and be safe.

But still Gravelking tyres even if they are slicks.

@@WheelersAtLarge Slidey.

Have a bleeping good week Terry! 😂👍🤣

I wouldn't mind riding in some of the places that Ms Cools rides! They've done some great rides! 👍😊😎😀

I might rebel a little against the accepted norms of current cycling but you won't be seeing any downtube shifters on my bike anytime soon 😁👍 or a tash 🤣 🍕👍 Yeah, that light is great for around town and shared paths for sure.👍

@@julie-wheelersatlarge Oh I'm jealous of where they live and ride as well, along with being jealous of you and Mike with the New Forest on your doorstep!

@@WheelersAtLarge Oh I don't know Mike, a tash along with the Hawaiian shirts might give you a rather fetching Tom Selleck/Magnum PI look 🤣

👍fixie sounds good to me...

That's unlucky Dan... I've had differing luck with bike lights, it's usually the batteries stop charging or lose their charge. Cheers for watching and commenting Dan

Agreed, saw it happen yesterday traffic backed up through a junction just to let a car out of a side road. Creates an unexpected situation too... Thanks for watching 👍

Try dealing with this on 5-lane roads (2 lanes each way, plus a center turn lane) at rush hour, with traffic a dozen cars deep in all 4 directions at a signaled intersection. Someone 5 cars back wants to wait and let people out of a parking lot as the signal turns green. 🤬🤬🤬🤬 Sorry for the profanity, Julie.

Ah, so it's a traditionalist thing... That makes sense😁

@@WheelersAtLarge Try it sometime. Adds to the fun of cycling. Learn to slow without braking.

I'll have to stitch in some reflective seems😁

@@WheelersAtLarge I used to wear the reflective Sam Brown belt and shoulder strap for night riding. Cheap and effective.

Hi William, I did have to check and yes flashing lights are fine. It looks like there's a specific frequency range but as consumers I guess we buy these lights and trust that we're doing the right thing. There have been parts shortages but nothing that has kept us off the road more a case of not always being able to buy the specific cassette, chain or brake pads we would prefer (Shimano road especially, very expensive online and hard to find in the shops). We'd rather ride than worry about using a cassette that's 100g heavier than the one I usually buy. It has been quite a windy year for us so far but we can usually find ways to minimise the effect.👍

@@WheelersAtLarge Mike, Thank you for replying to my questions! One idea (as you know) for extending the life of components is waxing chains. This helps to delay the ever rising prices of components, and lessons the headaches related to searching for replacement parts that may or may not be easy to locate and/or available. I have been using Wippermann Connex 8* and 11 speed chains on several bikes for 6 years. The Connex chains are more expensive, but seem to wear significantly longer. Longer chain life + waxing chains = longer life for cassettes and chainrings. * I have a custom built Columbine that I had built for me in 1986. I also have a Trek 5200 that I bought in 1992. Both bikes have 8 speed cassettes, derailleurs, etc. The frames on both bikes are still in almost mint condition. And I still ride both bikes regularly even though I have much newer 11 speed bikes. The Columbine has Campy Chorus 8 speed components. It is almost impossible to find/purchase NOS Campy 8 speed parts. Therefore I use high quality Connex chains and wax the chains to prolong the life of the components on the Columbine, as well as the components on the 5200. It is funny/ironic to me that the 1992 carbon fiber Trek 5200 came with/has a threaded BB shell. Then press fit BBs became the rage. And now Trek (and other manufacturers) are returning to threaded BBs for carbon fiber frames.

No but I like this light. We say no to most of the stuff we are offered, that's why we just talk about stuff we use rather than making indepth review videos...

@@WheelersAtLarge. Very professional.

Yeah, you're not wrong... Fortunately this one just sat and looked confused 👍
