Hi, just landed on your channel thanks to the algorithms😉 been enjoying some of your vlogs. Looks like some fantastic adventures!! Excited to get into the London - Milan episodes!! BTW, I am always so interested in hearing about what bike folks are riding and their set up. Is there an episode where you discuss this or, do you mind giving that info here🤔 look forward to seeing you taking on the world by two wheels👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👊🏼 All the Best. ✌🏼, Rob #everyrideisepic

Hi Rob, very glad you’re enjoying the vids and thanks for commenting. About the bike and set up - no, I haven’t done that (yet). My first thought was that I want to avoid being one of those channels that promote products or have a vested interest in favouring one brand over another. Its tricky, because obviously I do have opinions about stuff. I like and don’t like and thought about doing a vid after LEL on what I reckon helped me and what didn’t. But my main beef is comfort and reliability on longer rides, as you might expect! So I’m always looking for a better tyre and will happily share with the world when I find it! Otherwise, I’m usually On a steel frame, with carbon fork, currently tubeless tyres but that’s under constant review. Lighting is something I care about a lot (especially this time of year) so I might do a vid about that but again only if I think I’ve actually got something worthwhile to contribute.

Thanks for that awesome footage of your trip ... and that on top of London - Milano. Coming home with the bike someone started with always means coming home healty and safe. I am glad you survived all that crazy traffic in the crowded areas. Liebe Grüße🙋♀

Thanks for watching the videos! I do realise it’s not practical for most people to use a bike for long distances much of the time but I am trying to make a little point here about ultra-low carbon travel. There are possibilities beyond cars and aircraft for some of us, some of the time. Regarding traffic, here in London it gets safer the closer you get to the centre, because the big vehicles are so inefficient and slow. The outskirts of cities, though, that’s a different story altogether. Scary places!

@@londoncenturies That sounds like a recommendation to explore London by bike. Avoiding traffic is super important, just imagine if everyone wanted to drive a car from the outskirts or suburbs to work in the city. A total mess. standstill. The people would starve in their cars because nothing works anymore.😄 Something has to change urgently here in Germany, just like in England and in many places. Liebe Grüße und wir machen es einfach anders.🙋♀

Hey thanks John, I really enjoyed that ride too. Stamina: I don’t know but maybe it just came from doing it. Actually I blame lockdown, I just had to get out! Cheers for watching!
