Blimey - just saw myself slogging up the hill at 0:08 !! You make it look easy...
Hmmm a very fast run up I think haha!! Cheers James 👍🤘
The shots at the end look amazing in that sunlight I have to say. Richmond Park must be amazing to ride round
It was lovely Tom, perfect weather and a happy atmosphere 👌👍🙌
Another great video, class editing as always! Really enjoyed this one! Good vibes and summer time getting closer 😁
Thank you man, exactly what I was trying to convey, thanks as always 🙏🙏
Another amazing video and have a great time with mates. Keep it going. Great music choice as well
Thank you Josh, glad you enjoyed it 🙏👍
Looks great fun. So many happy cyclists.
So much fun, thanks Ad 🙏
Nice one! Can’t beat the Park in summer. And since I retired, I shave the legs. I need all the extra watt saving I can gain! 😅
Thanks Graham, was a lovely ride and atmosphere to be fair! Every little helps mate haha 😉 🤘
Fun group and a great place to ride!
Cheers Bill, so lucky to have this on our doorstep 🙏💪👍
Used to love Richmond Park in my younger years, don't recall it ever being quite so busy though 😂
It’s lovely, I tend to go midweek in the week for quieter rides haha. Honestly though it was a great day this, nice seeing people happy haha 👍👍
Never been to Richmond park but your video explains a lot of the press reporting cyclist hitting over 30mph in a 20mph area. Didn't realise it was so undulating.
What’s interesting is that they were talking specifically about Regent’s Park, when tested there most cyclists actually go under 20mph, most cars were going over. Average speed is under 20 for most cyclists unless going downhill. It’s a shame people deflect from the damage and danger that cars do by blaming cyclists, when in reality a cyclist, even at 30mph, is going to do far less damage than a car which the statistics prove regarding deaths and serious injury. Hopefully Richmond park will be car free one day, that would be fun 😃 👍
@@therookiecyclist the report I saw was about a pensioner who died as a result of being hit by a cyclist. The cyclist was part of a chain gang riding at 29mph in a park. This has started a ball rolling to get cyclist to obey the speed limits, which I actually agree with, especially in busy areas. There's plenty of other roads more suitable for riding fast.
As cyclists we all want safer roads and can easily point the finger at other road users breaking the law and driving dangerously just as those drivers point out cyclists breaking the law. We need to be seen obeying the laws.
@@nikblyth8047 Correct it was Regent’s Park and the cyclist was found not guilty. The coroner had witness testimony from both cyclists and pedestrians to say that he could have done nothing to stop or get out of the way as the lady just stepped into the road. I do agree that in certain areas that are built up perhaps a speed limit would be good. I just find it baffling that cars still break these speed limits, cause many many more deaths and we’re discussing cyclists who cause 2 deaths a year often not through speeding but carelessness.
I’m all for insurance, perhaps passing tests and abiding by the rules of the road but this really is distraction technique at best.
@@therookiecyclist IMO the cyclist was lucky. He knew he was exceeding the speed limit but because it doesn't apply to cyclists he got away with it. If speed limits applied to cyclists he would have been prosecuted.
You can kill someone using a vehicle, call it an accident to hide your incompetence (driving with undue care and attention) and pretty much get away with it. This has become 'acceptable' because of our car culture.
Our traffic laws and attitudes are outdated and need to be changed. A lack of road policing doesn't help either.
I’d agree with that final part for sure.
The cyclist wasn’t riding recklessly though, the woman crossed out onto a road and didn’t look, that doesn’t take away from her tragic death but there needs to be responsibility from both pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. Appreciate your comments though Nick
Richmond park looks like a blast 💥
I really think it’s hard to beat when the weathers good and everyone’s in good spirits 🤘🤘🤘
Good for the soul! Still overthinking the leg shave though, get it done! 🤣
😂😂😂 We’ll see haha. Thanks mate 🤘🤘👍
Great music, great editing, you really captured the vibe on this one, loved it!
Thank you Mallard, amazing day this was 🙏 🤘 cheers as always 👍
Bloody hell Ben amazing content looked like Zwift as there ever been any head crashes with other cyclists?.- mind you i had a monster crash back 3 years broke multiple ribs and unconscious,road rash big time on the right leg couldn't imagine the grief with hairy legs on that one so always shaved for the last 40 plus years.
Channel is brilliant fair play keep the videos coming.
A few people have said this and it’s so true hahaha, the real life zwift haha. Christ that sounds horrible, must have taken a while to get back on the bike after that?? Hmmm that definitely gives me food for thought 🤔
Thanks for the support Jeff and I’m glad you enjoyed the video mate 🤘🤘🤘
Reasons for shaving legs:
- If you have particularly hairy legs, there can be up to 20w saved at speeds nearing 40kph
- They tan better
- They look better
- Socks/Shorts stay in the right place and don't ride up/fall down
- Flies don't get caught in the hair
Once you start it's easy to keep on top of by just doing a few passes each day in the shower.
Ok, fair play, very good points made. I’m going to keep having a serious think now 🤔 Cheers Pete 👍👌🙏
I reckon Richmond Park is a real life zwift world, never seen so many cyclists in such a small area. Have to say to that the cycling infrastructure around your part of the world is outstanding by the looks of it. Down there next weekend for Ride London, not ideal with a head cold 😵💫
This made me laugh so so true, I actually just took a look at the video and I can see exactly what you mean hahaha. How you feeling about Ride London Ady? Good luck man 💪💪💪
@@therookiecyclist As long as this head cold does one I'm quite looking forward to it. Third and probably last time, takes some planning to get there!
Not impressed with the undertake car then over take bike, adding to the anti bike crowd
Hey Paul, looks a lot closer in the vid but we were going uphill at the time, car was doing around 15 or so and the space and time was adequate. There was more danger staying put with a build up of people coming thick and fast behind me to be honest. Sorry you feel that way though 👍
