5 days!!!

Wow, it's fun to know the videos have that kind of reach! Thanks for letting me know. I so appreciate your comment. 5 days left of the winter challenge. It looks like the weather will make it easy to hit the goal. Heres me trying the proper salutation: G'day!

Should be a big party at the end. Lol

It's always the wind that makes things difficult! I think the wind starts in Omaha

Yes, it was a tough one today. Overcast makes it feel even colder!

@pedalingpast60 Hi John, I guess overcast ☁️ for you in winter means snow. For us on BC southwest coast, in the winter, it means warmer weather with the likelihood of rain. I lived in Ontario about 250 miles west Toronto. I have forgotten how to predict the outcome of the weather patterns in the east. Though I have lived by the Arctic Circle for a couple of years, and that was interesting. A whole different life style.

Yes, the winds are something else here. Glad you enjoyed the ride! Thanks for the kind words about the theater house. I spoke about the kind people I work with and theater again in the day 21 video. I should get that edited tonight when I get home from rehearsal.

Lol

They are I just picked up the 20" cargo bike!

4 below this morning. The 30 day challenge may over. We'll see.

Hi Stan, It’s great to hear from you, and a big thank you for subscribing. At 72 and still loving to ride, you’re an inspiration. I agree 100% with your “ride to be seen” philosophy. Like you said, wisdom does come with experience, and it’s clear you put safety first. A light on the helmet would be a nice addition to my kit. Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughtful advice. It’s great to connect with someone who shares the same passion for cycling and safety. Stay safe out there in beautiful Victoria, BC-what a gorgeous place to enjoy life on two wheels! Warmly, John

Hi there, Stan, Thanks for the battery tips-you’ve clearly put a lot of thought and care into winterizing your rides. I didn’t realize how much difference a neoprene cover could make, but it makes perfect sense! I’ll definitely look into getting one for my battery; anything that helps it perform better in these cold Nebraska winters is worth a shot. Since experiencing some issues with my own battery, I’ve started bringing it inside, too. It’s definitely made a difference, and your suggestion of letting it warm up for 2-3 hours before charging is something I’ll start doing more consistently. Its amazing to me how long the battery case stays so cold to the touch after bringing it indoors. Especially down in the 3 degree F range. And yes, that camera mount definitely needs some TLC-I’ll get it sorted out when my work schedule lightens up in a week. Day 17 video was embarrassing for me. The clunking mount was relentless as I tried to get away from wearing the the bluetooth mic to save time. Stay safe and warm out there, Stan, and keep the great advice coming! Gratefully, John

Thank you safety is always a goal!

I am enjoying the challenge so far, and even more when friends like you watch it!

Not sure what happened there. But yep, to close for comfort

20 below? Wow. That snow will be hanging around for a while. Where are you located?

@@pedalingpast60 We're in northern Wisconsin. Tonight is supposed to be -26 air temperature, with -40 or more wind chill. Same thing again on Sunday, Monday and probably Tuesday. We often have snow on the ground through the end of April and sometimes into May. A couple of years ago we had 24 inches of snow on the last weekend of April. Fun!

-26. Merciful heavens. I'm looking forward to checking out your channel next week when my my work schedule lets up. Stay warm! And how do you keep pipes from freezing? Dang!

Since I ride to work I was able to ramp down into the cold temps gradually. If omaha hits 45 today that will be a 42 degrees swing over 2 days!

I'll have to look ahead. The ride home from tech Sunday should be interesting.

The back up bike should be ready today, but it is nice to be on my trusty primary bike. 2 bike repairs in one week! Sheesh.

Having fun! Editing video nightly, not so much ,lol!!! Good to hear from you!

I need to buy those tools and learn how to do that.

I'm fighting the foggy glasses too. At 62 and 61 and 60 for that matter, the worst part is my fingers. The bar mitts have been great but I prefer riding without them whenever I can get away with it. 26 deg seems to be the threshold in which I can do without for my 30 minute commute. Thanks for watching! I appreciate it.

@pedalingpast60 Pogies will keep hands comfy. I'm in WI. Studded tires are also a must.

@@ziptiefighter next winter I just gotta have a winter bike with studded tires. If we get nailed with a big snow the 30 day challenge will be over. I've been watch used ebikes online. Who knows? Maybe I can get it done this year.

I only can tell you what not buy! When I find one I'll let you know!

Lol. The challenge has shifted to my not so trusty camera mount. Day 8 turned into omg my gopro is going to fall, even after after using red thread locker. I must not be letting cure long enough. I'm going to try one more thing and move on to something new.

I am researching OTG "over the glasses" goggles. My goal is to keep my prescription eyewear from foggin up. I have yet to find what I am looking for but leaning toward the Smith Optics brand.

I like it! If you have any examples that you like, send em my way, please. Thank you for the advice. It could propel me through the 30 days. Bad weather is on the way tonight so maybe I could practice on some unused video.

Lesson learned on the mic. Still kicking myself. The ride was just over 30 minutes. The neoprene has several perforated holes for breathing. Thanks for watching and I wish you a happy, healthy, new year!!!

Hey Brittani! Great to hear from you! Happy New Year!

@@pedalingpast60 Happy New Year!

❤❤❤❤

Somebody suggested being more adventurous. 😂 so here I go!!

Also uhg....the mic. New coat, New clip point... big fail. 😢

Omaha's hills have been tamed by the ebike. I love it and my leg that had a ruptured quad just above the knee has been fairly quiet since I started on the ebike. Great, gentle, sustainable therapy. Its been 25 years since I visited Japan. Even then cars and parking were a a big chore! Happy new year and thank you for the great comment.

I look up Not Just Bikes for sure. Im suddenly very interest in Euro cycling culture. Although Im not holding my breath that Omaha will ever be cycle friendly! Thank you for the tip! I appreciate it! Happy, healthy New Year!

Will be looking up Not Just Bikes for sure and have been watching a few cycling videos for the region. Thanks so much for the comment and tip. Happy New Year and safe riding!

@pedalingpast60 @pedalingpast60 @pedalingpast60 Happy New Year to you too. Funny enough I just returned from my two weeks trip in Italy and I saw myself many cyclists in many cities. Narrow streets, pedestrian streets and calm traffic helps attract more cyclists. If you want good cycling oriented content from behind the handlebar I can recommend two more channels: Bicycle Duch and Active Towns. The latter one especially has many videos from around the world.

One year later, it's still working perfectly. Thanks!

Thanks. There's a new one that's more complete.

I use my phone with the rt515 rear radar to see all information about approving vehicles.

Thank you! Missing the food and ancient beauty, but It's so good to be home. I'm having a bit of trouble adapting back to the time difference. Also, just understanding Thanksgiving was late this year, and here comes Christmas! Yikes. Need to rally. Andiamo!!

Thank you for your kind words. I also have a follow up of a safety lanyard for this radar device. ruclips.net/video/t51NL0Etzjo/видео.htmlsi=IBXTPjfK7IMqgqfe hope to checkout your channel soon!
