Hi Ed, i never rode a tandem bike, but someone told me, that if you want to divorce, put your wife on the a back seat of your tandem bike, and go together on a tour. When i heard that it seemed like a joke. I am feel sorry that you both going seperate ways for now.
Hay ed I saw you ride past me down into Newquay town the other year on the tandem, and I thought to myself - "was that Ed Pratt ?? ......... Naaaa can't have been he only rides a unicycle?!? " You looked a bit puffed out after the Watergate and Porth hills in hot sun :) All the best to you old chap 👍
Hi Ed, it's great to see you pop up on my RU-vid feed. You are one of the best filmmakers out there in my opinion. Sorry to hear you split up, I can only imagine that made the film editing process quite hard emotionally. I've often talked about you and your filmmaking, it's the gold standard and I'm really grateful to you for spending the time and effort in producing your work.
@@thomasc5753 they're not mutually exclusive. In fact it's really worrying that you think that if someone breaks your heart and you are depressed about it, you shouldn't then handle it amicably and with maturity. Unless you are saying that you know Ed personally and have witnessed him being some kind of stalkerish asshole while he's been away from RU-vid, I can't comment as I've never met him, but there's absolutely no sign of it in this video which is entirely respectful. And I would find it very surprising based on his entire catalogue of vids to date.
@@insanimal2 dude literally said he was depressed on another channel. His words not mine. He also said it took forever to make this video because he kept breaking down and he wanted people like you to think everything was ok. You should watch the podcast it’s very mature.
@@thomasc5753 I have never said that he was not depressed about it. All I've said is that it seemed to be amicable (i.e. they remain on friendly terms - he tells us to feel free to check out her Instagram, but to be respectful) and that it was handled in a mature fashion. Does this podcast you mention say otherwise?
Watching your interactions with people on your travels, you always strike me as a really nice chap. It's heartwarming to see how respectful you are of Aishola here. Kindness, and generally just being pleasant, are qualities that are often overlooked or underrated.
You are both young. Hope you parted on reasonable terms. Best of luck to both of you and thanks for creating some memorable moments together and sharing them with us.
The first time I went to Georgia, in 2010, I met a pair of Italian guys there who had ridden a tandem mountainbike from Italay and they were on their way to Asia. One of the guys was blind. Impressed the hell out of me!
Ed - I went on a grueling bikepacking journey with a former partner and it ended up being one of the major factors in our breakup. These types of excursions can really bring the best and worst out in a couple and in us individually. I am glad you know yourselves well enough to walk away, as painful as it may be. Happy trails and safe journey, wherever is next. Looking forward to continuing to follow along.
Ed, so happy to see you are back on line. Also so sorry to hear about your breakup. We think of you often and wish you all the best in your future adventures! So happy we had the chance to spend time with you in Pennington and hope to meet up again the future. Sally and I just completed another Anchor House ride for runaways. 500 miles in a week from Virginia to NJ. Stay safe, and stay well. Armen & Sally
Break ups are the start of a road to something new. Never regret your time together, I alike most thought you had something special but time changes us all and it's better to go your separate ways then persist in an unhappy relationship. Best wishes to you both and bring on the cycle content! Long time fan 🙂
That's Sad! You must be gutted, Ed. Chin up, Lad! Perhaps she wants more than a relationship built on cycling.... I'm speculating, forgive me. You're both young, though: Maybe you can get back together at some point, at least I hope you're still friends.
@@aisholaaisaeva This is sad news. My lady and I are a roughly 30 year older version of you two. We're similar sizes, she's from China, I'm caucasian from US. A month into dating we did a tandem ride to see if the relationship had potential. We now own one. When covid came and she told me we were either locking down together or breaking up, my only concern about locking down together was that too much togetherness would kill it. That was NOTHING like the stress of the trips you two did together! I wish you both well.
I visited Georgia last year and it is absolutely gorgeous, so I very much look forward to seeing this. Shame you two broke up, but I am super pleased that despite this you managed to finish editing this series (which must have been emotionally hard at times I can imagine)
was just checking in on your videos yesterday, was wondering what you were up to! if i'd had to spend time on a tandem with any of my previous girlfriends i think it would have ended in murder, so good effort
No long distance cycle touring is not easy, it can be pretty darn tough at moments for sure. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. :-) We are currently on our second long term world tour, the first one being 25 months from 2013-2015, and now on this one we left from Deadhorse, Alaska on 25 June 2021. Good luck to you and your former mate. All the best, Ron & Petra
I loved watching you two riding together. Shame it didn't work out, but I hope you are both well and stay in touch with each other. The magic spoon/tea towel trick in your video has become a firm favorite of my 4 year old Son. Wishing you the best!
Tough times make good times that much greater! Not all relationships are meant to last. We learn, we grow, and continue on our journey. The best is yet to come. Looking forward to the quality content
Looking forward to your Georgia episodes. As a world cyclist myself I've long wished to cycle there. Haven't gotten any closer than Eastern most Turkey so far. It's often said that a tandem bicycle is the hardest obstacle you can put a relationship through, especially on a protracted tour. I guess that's one reason over many tours, meeting many couples on bicycle tour I can only recall meeting one couple touring that way. Touring can often be he'll for relationships. I've never toured with anyone for more than a few weeks without the relationship suffering. Tandem riding must be even more trying.
Life is a long trip and just like in a trip sometimes you travel with one person for a while before your own journeys draw you apart. I hope you're plotting new adventures!
My wife and I are both from separate countries. It's not always easy because there is a lot of compromises that you have to make: which country will you live in, which holidays will you celebrate, how often will you see family.... These things get trickier the more you're together. I am not sure why you two ultimately broke up, and it's not really anyone's business -- but I could get that being an obstacle.
You're both so young and have so much time and adventures left ahead of you both. Wishing you both the best, and looking forward to getting to see more from you Ed when you're back at it.
Always remember the end of a relationship might feel gut wrenching and hard to get through but think of it as the beginning of a new chapter in your life, onwards and upwards. 👍 BTW the tandem trip across Georgie looks stunning, I added your channel and will be watching.👍 Particularly interested in your drone footage as I'm a drone pilot myself.
Man... that little shot of you riding through Georgia on your unicycle... So much nostalgia, so many memories... And that's just from watching your journey. I cannot even imagine what memories you made on that trip. Amazing.
i appreciate updating us for the situation, but at the same time as a stranger on the internet i dont believe people need nor deserve to know all the personal matter into your private lives.
I think the point was just for the bit where he said, "don't be rude/go after her." People eventually find out and, despite it not really mattering or having any involvement with them, there are people that feel they have to pry and borderline stalk/harass others.
@@StrangelyIronic i think it is a two edged sword because the bad people that would harass are the same that might not be fazed by simply asking them not to, at worst it might even pump them up even more.
best of luck to both of you. I would't choose a tandem. It is far to intimate, claustrophobic. On a single bicycle you can go adhead or drop back if you need a little personal time.
Best of luck to you both Ed. Your global unicycle episodes had me hooked ! I am from Kent in the UK, but lived in Bishkek, Krygyzstan so can relate to you both.
Worth the wait for your quality videos. Sorry about the break-up. Adam Hugill who did a lot of bike riding and his wife went separate ways during their cycling. I loved watched them too.
Looking forward to watching the Georgia trip. We just picked up our second tandem. Most of our rides my wife and I captain and our two boys ride stoker. The wife and I do enjoy riding tandem together. It’s a great date. Way better than dinner and a movie. We actually get to have a conversation. And a nice workout. Best wishes for your next adventure.
Unsure if I wanna upvote for the Georgia preview or downvote because I'm a bit sad that it didn't work out for the two of you. All the best wishes, Ed. Oh, and Aishola too of course.
What a preview! Hopefully you are working on the next journey 😃 not exactly to produce content for us, but for you to be out and enjoying the feeling of traveling on your own again 😁✌️ Cheers Ed 🍻
Ed, you don't know me, but I feel like I know you because I have watched all of your RU-vid videos. I just want to say that I am sorry for your breakup. I hope you are okay and I can't wait to see your new Georgia series on RU-vid. Your around the world on a unicycle series was the best RU-vid content I have ever seen!
I was actually quite invested in you guys, I thought you had a beautiful love story. I’m sorry it didn’t work out, and wish you both the best of luck! Can’t wait to watch the series!
Ed, you have completely changed and inspired my life. Whatever comes your way will be, take things easy, you've done so much for your young years. I'm from Dorset and hope to bump into you one day!
Man that's rough, between the actual trip and then coming home and editing such a thing after a break up...sorry man but plenty of fish in the sea onto the next chapter as they say
Been watching your content from the very start, sad to hear you and Aishola went your separate ways, it's tough I feel for you but tomorrow the sun will rise and you never know what the tide will bring.
Looks brilliant Ed but sorry to hear of the break up. You’ve been an inspiration both for me getting out on my bike more but also as a RU-vid Cycling film maker - I’ve a long way to go but your films and vlogs really spur me on 😁🚴
Ed, so sorry to hear about you and Aishola. I’m glad you got to have so many memorable adventures together. And I was super excited to see a new video pop up on this channel after so many months of silence! Can’t wait to see this upcoming Georgian cycling series. Wishing both you and Aishola all the best!
As me and my wifey did a 2months honeymoon trip in scandinavia I realized we should have done it BEFORE getting married 😅 but oh well, that was seven years ago and now things have improved and we're a good team for hardships of long bicycle tours 😁
Sorry to hear that u 2 split up mate but its really nice to see u back on RU-vid I will b watching the videos wen there on hear mate take care and best of luck
You wore each other out! Sorry to hear, but you'll always have these trips, Ive used vimeo a lot, quality is top notch, so I'll give it a look as soon as I get paid 😃
Looks awesome, Ed. Can't wait to see it all. Looks like you worked hard on it, must have been tough, given the circumstances but glad to see you on the other side of it. Hope releasing the series is a good process for you, digesting that shared history together.

I can relate to the experience, for me it was a rough place but it pivoted my life into something new beyond my wildest dreams. Just follow your heart and truth.
