    Vintage sounds nicer than old and getting on a bit. Respect for the fact that you got 'a cunning stunt' out flawlessly.

    Best things for bad knees. I got diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my right knee last spring. Got an e Trike (coz me balance had gone due to shingles). It's the best thing ever, i get all me shopping done on it (got a back carrier) so no heavy bag lifting. For going up steep hills & long rides along the seafront it's the dogs doohdahs!.
    My physiotherapist is really pleased that i got this & i've progressed so much, i hardly need my stick when i go out for a walk.
    Keep cycling Shaun & stay visible & safe on the roads.
    When the weather warms up Colin won't be able to get you off it.😁 Enjoy the lovely outdoors, both of you.😁👍🚴🚴

    Being a biker myself I really enjoyed that thank you. Its great Shaun can join you on some adventures and it was lovely to see him out. Ive friends who have e bikes and they really do get a workout, as you say the assist can be low or high. I hope your hooked Shaun, well done you two and many thanks for showing us your route in the wonderful scenery xx

  • @patnelson4308
    @patnelson4308 Год назад +3

    Thin may be in but fat is where its at ! Those fat tires do give better stability on the loose stuff but anyone can drop their bike on sheer ice ! The beauty of e bikes are that you can dial in the power for assist or not just like an exercise machine and still get a good workout and get back home ! Im looking foreward to more videos of you both on them and more of your spectacular photography !

    My dad had a biking accident while visiting up here in Scotland on Boxing day. He was on a unlit bridle path (ex-railway) hit a tree stump, broke his collar bone and fractured his ball socket thingy in his hip. he only 72. Three days after getting out of hospital he went to a Wetherspoons for a pint!🤣

    Aw Shaun! That's what it's like here in Colorado, you can't tell the difference between ice and standing water! Glad you took the opportunity to ride in the 2 hours of daylight you get.
    You can tell by the end of the ride it was getting dark. Stay Safe! 🥰

    Hubby and I love our e-bikes too. Have you tried the cycling helmets that have a speaker and microphone built in to the helmet? You can pair them together and easily chat to each other, even if you are 100m+ away from each other. They are an absolute game changer, as you can both chat to each other along the trail without yelling ahead or behind!

    A few q&a's ago, when you were still on Narrowboat Silver Fox, I asked if you'd ever buy an e-bike and, at the time, you said no way. Like Sean, I need to watch my knees... so I'm glad you got them now. Like my husband and I, you can be cycle-paths together. Peace friends.

    Congrats on the new wheels!! Did you know they make heated hand grips and studded tires? Oh yeah, heated clothes too😂
    Ebikes are a wonderful thing! I set up a recumbent trike with a motor assist but it has throttle override for when I overdo it (back injury). I regret not getting fat tires but I was tired of sitting around waiting and wanted to ride again.
    Enjoy the ride!!

    Hey Shaun and Colin.I see that you all are in the e bike craze. Richard and I just had are wedding anniversary and he got us e bikes. I actually think they are cool. Shaun I can almost relate to your fall. At first, I was a bit wobbly riding the bike. I almost had a nasty fall, but some kind away, I was able to catch myself. Ever since, I have been reluctant to ride. I guess it's like riding a bike. You have to practice. You all have have some beautiful scenery to go e biking. I hope you all enjoy riding them. Take care.

    @petercresswell5402 Год назад +1

    Brilliant episode really enjoyed it. I'm thinking of getting an e-bike so this was really helpful. I live in "Independent State of Shap" 😉 (Lake District National Park to the West, and Yorkshire Dales National Park to the East, about 5 minutes by car into either) and have been thinking about a bike for ages. I have an old mountain bike but I'm more of a Shaun athlete than a Colin 🤣 so this looks like a great compromise. Basically I'm after a bike to cycle five miles down to the pub and back .....if I'm honest lol
    Again enjoyable really informative video and glad nobody suffered too much harm in testing out the bikes on ice for our entertainment 😉👍
    Cheers lads.

    As usual a great tour of the surrounding scenery. The bikes are interesting. 40+ miles is not bad as far as range goes. The fat tire are an interesting idea for off road. I think on road it will hurt. The bikes may get more range when it is warmer, the cold affects them.

    Those are brilliant bikes! I'm super envious! You can get studded tyres for ice, too. Studies have shown that people who own electric bikes actually get more exercise than accoustic bike owners because they choose the bike so much more often!
    My physio guy said cycling is the best exercise for dodgy knees, so hopefully it works well for you!

I was having a cup of black tea enjoying you two talk about the e-bikes, and just when I took a gulp of tea, I abruptly saw Shawn with a pot on his head, and accidentaly spit out some tea on my computer screen and keyboard. It was hilarious, but I blame him for that. Thanks for bringing some laughter on this Friday morning.
