Road Cycling Tyres on Slippery Roads: what could possibly go wrong
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- This was one of those rides that really tested me. When I left home the weather was great, but as I rode towards Dartmoor national park, things got interesting very quickly. I had to abandon my original route as the road ahead became impossible for me to continue sadly.
My observations are the subject of this ride. So come along and enjoy another great cycling adventure.

I am local , but I am amazed at how you get around and your knowledge of the area.
Really enjoy your videos.
Hey Terry, We are blessed to live in such a fantastic area, and the cycling routes are endless. I love exploring Exeter and the surrounding areas on my bike and hope it encourages and motivates others to get out and ride. I do have some great rides planned for this year, so I’m looking forward to those adventures. Take care and thanks for watching. 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻♂️
Beautiful scenery but you are a braver man than me 😄
Hey Rick, I must admit I wasn’t expecting snow and icy roads on that ride. Thing’s got pretty sketchy in places but it all added to the fun 😂 take care and thanks for watching 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻♂️
Thank you so much for taking us "along" on your adventurous ride. It looked brilliant, glad your kit kept you warm 🙂
Hey Sarah, I really enjoyed that ride and the snow and icy roads got very interesting at times. But I must admit that it just looked so beautiful in places where there was snow. I really appreciate you watching 🙏🏻 take care ⚡️🚴🏻♂️
You always visit some pretty places bud, but it looked even more magical in the snow. Another great video and thanks as always for sharing 👍
Hey Dave, I must admit it was magical cycling those empty roads. Things did get interesting at times, but thankfully I didn’t go down. Take care and thanks again for watching 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻♂️
Lovely video, great to see sunshine and blue skies. Snow and frost are lovely to see but sketchy riding - just don't hit the brakes hard! I bet you had to give the bike a good wash to get all the salt off it.
Hey Martin, fortunately my Creo is treated to a wash after every ride I do year round, to help keep components etc in tip top condition. I was definitely not expecting any snow on this ride, and I should have definitely turned around a lot earlier, but I had fun. Take care and Thanks for watching 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻♂️
Hard core ride Dave that looked dodgy lol 🤦🏻♂️😂😂😂😂
Hey Jonathan I hope you’re well buddy. To be honest I wasn’t expecting any snow on that ride, and I was lucky to not come off. I did however have a great time 😂 take care and thanks again for watching 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻♂️
Rather you than me, I would have turned back sooner. Few years back came off on black ice, that hurt! Last year (Nov 28th) had to abandon plans roads frosted over, even off-road routes and forest around Sherwood Pines (Notts), lots of ice.
Hey Steve, I wasn’t expecting any snow on this ride and I was very lucky not to come off, as things did get very interesting quickly. I did however have fun but I will definitely turn around earlier and keep to lower ground, which can be difficult in hilly Devon. Take care and thanks for watching 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻♂️
👍👍👍
Thanks for watching Scotty 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻♂️
looks great. [and thank you for the advice re insoles].
Hey buddy, I was tipped to try the insoles from a subscriber and I have really noticed a difference. It’s great that we can all share ideas and learn together on this channel. Take care and thanks for watching 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻♂️
Looks like you got a touch of our Chicago weather! Be careful.
Hey Harry, it was sketchy as hell riding those slippery roads, but I had fun. Chicago you are very lucky to cycle in such a beautiful city. Take Care and thanks for watching 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻♂️
@ it’s 12 degrees F today. No riding for me.
@ that’s cold weather buddy, stay safe 🙏🏻🚴🏻♂️
Stunning scenery maybe a crazy time to be out on two wheels. Kudos to you, Harvey, are you out on road tyres. The low camera angle looks good.
Hey Darren, I wasn’t expecting any snow on this ride and I really should have turned around a lot sooner. As I only had the Specialized Roubaix Pro tyres fitted. Thank you for your feedback on camera angles, I have been experimenting 😂 take care 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻♂️
Wow excellent vlog. Sketchy as ..... but beautiful. Must have been a cold ride. How did those tyres keep you up? I was on pathfinders and slipping .
Hey Nikoli, I hope you’re well buddy. I was riding with the Specialized Roubaix Pro tyres, and to be honest they did a great job but I would rather have been on my pathfinder’s. I wasn’t expecting any snowy and icy roads, I really should have turned around sooner but I had fun. 😂 Take care and thanks for watching 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻♂️
I have ridden in those conditions on Mtb, but not on the road bike. Bet you were just testing the Lakes Winter soles - lol
Hey Darren, I wasn’t expecting any snow on that route, but the roads were hazardous in places, I must admit. I was only using the Specialized Roubaix Pro road tyres 😂 The lake winter insoles must be working because I haven’t had cold feet since fitting them . Take care and thanks for watching ⚡️🚴🏻♂️🙏🏻
good decision, that looked scektchy at 4 mins, you crazy man 🙂
Hey Paul, I must admit that it was getting really bad the further I went. I should have turned around a lot sooner than I did, but I still had fun. 😁 take care and thanks for watching 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻♂️
Now see if I was with you it would have rained and washed it all away m8 😂😂😂👌
Hey Lawrence I hope you’re well buddy. I have no doubt it would have snowed if you were there, and we would probably have needed the service of Dartmoor rescue 🤣 Take care and thanks again for watching 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻♂️
looked a bit slippy what tyres were you riding?
Hey Tom, the roads were slippery in places, and I must admit it did get interesting at times. I was riding with the Specialized Roubaix Pro tyres, and to be honest they done a great job. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻♂️
