Paul's Bike Adventures
Канада
Добавлен 7 апр 2009
I hope my videos can inspire more people to just ride their bikes, simply for the love of being outside and seeing the world by bike. I ride my bikes a lot. I plan to share some of my rides, some of my survival strategies and other bike-related wisdom here. I have been a year-round bike commuter for several years now. I enjoy mountain biking, road cycling, and gravel riding. I like commuting, trail riding and longer distance riding as well.
I've been a cyclist for many years, however I didn't seriously get into longer distance riding, or year-round commuting until well into my 40's.
I have always enjoyed taking lots of photos on my journeys, and now I have better video capabilities, and we will see how it goes. Enjoy!

Bruce Peninsula Gravel Gran Fondo 2023
Once again, in October 2023 I entered this picturesque ride. Starting in Lion's Head, I joined many other cyclists for a 115 km journey through some of the most beautiful scenery in the Bruce Peninsula. Hilly gravel roads, stunning shorelines, a clifftop scenic lookout! Amazing!

A beautiful bike ride into Bruce County to visit the ruins of St. Michael’s church in North Brant county. Located on Concession 14 Road East, between Bruce Road 19 and Sideroad 20 North Brant. A little bit of history about a serene and spiritual location in the old ghost town of Vesta, Ontario.
Cycling from London to Port Burwell and Port Bruce-145km
Просмотров 482 года назад
My longest ride of my life (so far). London to Port Burwell and Port Bruce, Ontario. Facing a bit of a southern headwind from London to Port Burwell, then SW wind to Port Bruce. This was about a 7 hour journey through some beautiful countryside in SW Ontario. The small villages and Port Towns were all nice places to ride through.

Cycling Grey County Ontario Gravel-Spring2022
Просмотров 6272 года назад
The highlights of a beautiful bike ride on some quiet gravel roads of Grey County Ontario. A lot of these roads were "No Winter Maintenance" so they were quite rough, but lots of fun! Filmed on my GoPro and edited in Adobe Premiere Rush. I am very new to both filming and editing video and sound.

Fanshawe Lake-My first GoPro Video!
Просмотров 682 года назад
A counter clockwise trip around the lake at Fanshawe Conservation area in London. This is my first video using the GoPro Hero 10 and the Quik software app.
What was the route? Any links to this for next year?
Hi Jakob! I did the 115km route with the bonus 6 km to see the lookout spot. I'll add the event website to the video description.
Do you have a map of the route?
@@mikedarroch6697 The maps are on the website that I included in the description for the video :)
what about farm dogs encounters ?
for tires and tire pressure for the rougher roads have you considered Tanus armor inserts ?
Also what is that clipped.your helmet, a mic?
It is actually the stem of my rear-view mirror. I broke it off while adjusting it in the first few km of the ride, haha.
Great video. Really get a sense of what the ride was like. I was in the area last fall to do some hiking but did one ride in parts of that area. I would love to do the lighthouse route and that water at Dyers Bay so blue.
Thank you Pedals! It is a really fun route, and the people are amazing to be around.
Hii please tell me is that easy to get traveling on bicycle during winter ? From london to st thomas ??
I commute quite often in the city in the winter. It is generally not easy at all. I don't think travelling between towns would be easy either. Its risky because car drivers don't expect to see cyclists in winter. The cold weather makes cycling a lot more dangerous if you have an accident, or a mechanical problem, you could get hypothermia quite easily.
I am thinking of joining this epic ride in October 2023....nice video..thanks
Thank you for the kind comment @heldinson. I believe this year's event is nearly sold out, so if you're able to sign up soon, that would hopefully get you a spot. :)
@@PaulRidesBikes I just got the last spot this afternoon..I am good to go for October 1....excited for the 115km ride...yehhhhh
@@heldinson NICE! I'm signed up for the big one too. It really is an epic ride, with incredible scenery!
Really enjoyed this. Thanks
Hi Jamie! Thanks for the nice comment :)
Promo-SM 👍
Hey Paul, met you on Bruce Fondo at most stops. You should look at Canadian tire in boating area… they have a small compact horn. I carry it for when I meet up with dogs. They do not like the old noise and turn and run. Just found your channel today.
Hey Ron!! Thanks for the tip on the dog-horn. I should check that out. Thanks for the note, and maybe will see you at the Bruce Fondo in 2023.
Great memories of a great ride! Thanks for filming and posting this. The group I rode with had a few cameo appearances your video. It looks like we were just moments ahead of you at the lookout, the lighthouse turnaround, and the finish line. I'm sure you'd remember seeing me, the only guy riding in jeans and carrying panniers on my bike 😂. Thanks again ... Enjoyed the video ... Maybe we'll see you again
Hi Stephen! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the video! I think I do recall a fellow in jeans. :) I plan to do the big ride again this October, and I hope to make another video as well.
Beautiful ride.
Thank you, For the Love of Cycling! I'm hoping to ride more backroads in 2023 and will try to post some videos of my travels. :)
@@PaulRidesBikes nice. ill be waiting.cheers!
Really enjoyed the ride and scenery.
Thank you, Carol-Ann. It was one of the most picturesque rides that I have ever been on.
I just found your channel, wished I found it sooner. Thanks for sharing your rides! Hope I get the chance to try out some of them in the future.
Thanks, choobivan. Glad you're enjoying them.
Thanks for filming this. I did the 80 km - my second time.
Good work doing the 80km! I'm glad I managed to get a video made of this ride. The weather was great.
thanks for this. I participated in the 80km route, but concentrated on keeping warm. 😂
Thank you for the comment, Ray. Good work getting the 80km done! It was a cool day. I was worried about being under-dressed, yet I survived. :)
Looks like a wonderful ride.
It was a great time!
I thought I recognized that beard somewhere! Amazing ride Paul, don't think I can ever have the stamina or time to ride that far 😄
Thanks, Herbert! I never thought I could survive this distance until I tried it. :)
Nice ride
Thank you, Jakob!
