Hello and welcome to my channel!
I'm Martin, a cyclist in my late 40s and I live on the amazing Lancashire/Yorkshire border (in northwest England, UK). Between family and work commitments I like to get out out my bikes as much as possible. Contrary to more recent trends in cycling, none of my bikes cost more than my car ... and I drive a fairly inexpensive second-hand car!
Over the last few years I've completed some of the UK's iconic multi-day cycle tours and I've also started doing my own bike maintenance at home, learning more about gear and keeping relatively inexpensive bikes on the road and in good condition.
If you like what you see please subscribe and come along for the ride (pun intended!). Hopefully the videos will get better as I figure out what I'm actually doing!
Happy cycling and stay safe!

A CYCLING SKILL EVERY BIKE RIDER SHOULD LEARN
Просмотров 11 тыс.21 день назад
There's a particular cycling skill that I first practiced as part of my motorcycle training back in the 90s and over the years I've come to rely on it, especially when out on the road bike. I think it's one of the most important things to know and be able to do on a bike. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how important (or otherwise) you think this skill is, and whether you use any of the 'tech...
Yorkshire Dales MTB - Malham Area is STUNNING!
Просмотров 79128 дней назад
A quiet, mixed terrain mid-week ride in the Yorkshire Dales, visiting three amazing spots in the Malham area - Malham Cove, Malham Tarn and Gordale Scar. A chilly ride with limited daylight at this time of year but I hope you'll agree well worth the effort. And as for the best view in the Dales ... well, let me know what you think. It's certainly in my top 5 I think! :) Happy cycling folks!
How to Make Winter Cycling More Comfortable
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.Месяц назад
A quick mid-week spin in my local hills, enjoying the first snowy conditions of the year and making a few - perhaps rather obvious - comments about how we can make life a bit easier on the bike over the winter months if we still intend to cycle outdoors. Plenty of black ice on the trails at the moment so if you are heading out take care! Happy cycling!

Little spin up in the Dales, heading out east from Gargrave into beautiful Wharfedale, turning north and returning via Appletreewick and Cracoe. Another easier ride and stunning vistas galore in my native Yorkshire! Hope you enjoy these little clips and happy cycling, folks!

Should You Compare Yourself To Other Cyclists?
Просмотров 7042 месяца назад
Join me on a mid-week ride heading east into some fairly hilly and tough cycling country, well for me at least. I'm not a big one for comparing myself to others on the bike but I wonder if there are times when making comparisons might be a good thing? Anyway, that was the topic for a bit of chat en route! Do you see any benefits of comparing yourself as a cyclist with others, or as something to...
Best of the Yorkshire Dales Cycling - in Just 30 Miles?
Просмотров 1,9 тыс.2 месяца назад
A fairly short loop up in the Yorkshire Dales but one that I think gives a fantastic introduction to cycling in this area. Does it showcase the very best Dales cycling? Well, come along for the ride and judge for yourself! Here's the route on Komoot if you ever wanted to try it for yourself - www.komoot.com/tour/1915139134?share_token=ad3toBzBO4ImWYoWFjNbGeYKf9L4FALR79tVtTXuE31oRlTaaT&ref=wtd N...
Great Dun Fell - Mont Ventoux of the Pennines - Amazing Cycling!
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.2 месяца назад
Every now and again you do a ride that will stay with you for a long time! What's been described as the greatest climb in England and our very own Mont Ventoux, I decided to go and see what all the fuss was about. Okay, I get it now! I've put almost the whole descent in the video to give a better idea of the whole climb than the few moments I was recording on the way up. Let me know if you've d...
Be Safe, Be Seen When Cycling - But What About Dark Clothing?
Просмотров 3,7 тыс.2 месяца назад
The weather is really starting to turn colder now, so I've invested in a new winter jacket. Only one colour option available in the store (black!), which got me thinking about the topic of 'be safe, be seen' and whether dark clothing or black really is an appropriate colour to wear on a bike. Do you steer clear of darker clothing when you're out cycling, or use extra reflective kit? What about ...
Do We Sacrifice Too Much For Cycling? || Stunning Pennines in 4K
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.2 месяца назад
Hey folks! Welcome to join me on a little mid-week 45 miler in my local Pennine hills, setting up some stunning views and descents along the way! Cycling can take up a fair bit of our time and attention (not to mention disposable income!) and so I wondered out loud (a bit!) on this ride if the sacrifices are worth it? Perhaps no prizes for guessing my own conclusions! Stay safe and happy cycling!
Top 100 Climb For A Stunning View! | Cycling THE RAKE to Peel Tower
Просмотров 9113 месяца назад
A little Saturday afternoon pootle out, heading towards the West Pennine Moors and visiting a local landmark I haven't been to in a few years, Peel Tower. On a clear day I think it provides one of the finest views in Greater Manchester; well worth the effort getting all the way up to the top! Looking at the route on Komoot I spotted the opportunity to add in 'The Rake', a top 100 climb which ha...
Do You Need A Different Bike For Winter?
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.3 месяца назад
Here in the UK, summer isn't officially over but nobody seems to have told the weather! A very autumnal feel to rides at the moment and so thoughts are turning to colder days on the bike and more challenging conditions. A few thoughts on the topic of winter bikes as I go looking in my local hills for an ancient marker with a Latin inscription. Any excuse for a bike ride and a big dose of the Pe...
5 Cycling Tips for Easier Climbing || Stunning Pennines in 4K
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.3 месяца назад
I thought it was about time I tried a local (ish) climb called 'Big Jack', high up in the moors to the north of Calderfornia! The weather was superb, the views typical jaw-dropping Pennines stuff and Big Jack was a little beast of a climb. En route I share a few thoughts on making climbing a bit easier. I'm very much at the average/below average level when it comes to road cycling, but these ti...
