    For a project to keep the channel humming while Goodwin nurses her battle scars, this was a great view of some diverse London scenery. There's no shame in making straight for home when darkness and low batteries dictated, and the video has the familiar Harry polish and authenticity.

    As an old touring cyclist and London visitor, ebike aficionado and general proponent of adventures urban and otherwise….. wow!!! Could hardly have been better. I couldn’t put it down. The combination of Timelapse with occasional real time audio and video clips was brilliant. Every bit as good as your boat adventure and perhaps more relatable.

    chronically underwatched. Having not lived in london since student days this bought great memories and as said below just shows how much green space there is. Living overseas in a country with barely 100 years of modern history but another couple of hundred years of trading history, I am always amazed by your ability to casually mention buildings and structures built ludicrously long ago. Keep up the excellent work.

    I loved the mild tension generated by the “will they make it on their batteries?” question. Perhaps up your battery game with some of Grin Technologies equipment for real time battery monitoring. Good chance he’d enjoy a chance to collaborate with a chap like you. There must be thousands of people like me wondering about the practicality of ebike and cargobike touring. More Harry More!

    Richard deserves a trophy for the ingenuity on the DIY front loading electric cargo bike built from recycled bike frames. People in my city happily spend $10,500 dollars on imported electric front loaders just to occasionally tool around in it with their kids. Someone with no money or home could potentially build one out of scrap and use it as a shelter. Such inspirational. So inspiration.

      It's probably scooters and the NEDs using the for their mischiev that were a factor in putting up all these barriers, if it was a concern for cars a single pole would do. If Police were to primarily hunt them on beefed up Sur-Ron's or Zeros instead of doing most of the policing with big clunky cars maybe those could be replaced with more cargo bike friendly modal filters.

    Would love to see you pair the boating and e-cycling - plenty of forest tracks and paths that you could embark on long touring cycles. Especially up here in Scotland; check out the Pictish Way for example. Maybe not take the cargo bike though! :D

      Good plan. Maybe we could get a foldup on Goodwin.

    Har you should have teamed up with joolz guides and you would get some his subscribers and visa versa, build up the numbers plus he can talk all day about places in London (see his channel). Loving the music, hypnotic. Bit sketchy up there is Scotland on the last video, been watching you from the start of that journey! Keep up the good work your a natural, Henry 🇮🇪

    Circumnavigation seems to be your favourite word, Harry. Love it! Can't wait for your next launch, though. 👍
    Edit: Great format, I stayed with you the whole way. Timelapse?

    • @harrydwyer

      I shot the timelapse in real time and then sped it up, many hours of footage, maybe I should edit the realtime 14 hour video.

      @harrydwyer looking for it 🤩 really enjoyable 😉 but you need to change the proppeller to a 3 blade not a 4 blade.

      ​@@harrydwyerfrom what I could see on marine traffic you've made it round Scotland just south of Edinburgh before the winter which should be enough footage for a couple of episodes before next years season.

    Fantastic project.
    But as a Dutchman, I can't believe how poor the cycling infrastructure in London is.
    All those zig zags and almost impassable narrow gates

    • @velotill
      @velotill Год назад +2

      Same reaction here. Cargobikes (not just the realitively narrow long johns but mostly the Christiania type 3wheeled box-in-the-front ones) are getting more and more. They are bicycles legally and deserve infra which allows to be used with them.
      Compared to our Mauerradweg (going around former West-Berlin along the former Wall) or the Anillo Verde Ciclista going round Madrid which can be challenging in some of the northern parts this round London seemed like a lot of fun but far from an established route which requires Komoot or importing a gpx track.
      I'm sure this is not representative of biking infra in London in general as those routes would primarily go into and around the center. But even if partially used for making bike trips along the fringes of the city a proper route should be doable (not sure which legislative bodies would need to be involved to accomplish this and weather this complicates things).

    • @harrydwyer
      @harrydwyer  Год назад +3

      Yes, the main cycle routes in London are a lot more forgiving. It seemed to be these paths in South London were particularly bad with very old barriers in place. The North London section was actually pretty OK and might be doable with a 3 wheeler.

    • @harrydwyer
      @harrydwyer  Год назад +4

      Also until recently you could cycle through the Woolwich tunnel under the Thames at off peak times. But now you're not allowed to, even though half the user have bikes and cycle them through.
