Well, I fell over when I was doing parkrun a couple of weeks back, so I’ve been laying off the running for a bit, to help me heal. Which means I’m back into the cycling. So today I picked possibly the coldest day of the winter to do a long bike ride. It’s not really the fact that it is zero degrees but also that it is humid and there was quite a wind.

However, the electric bike does a good job of dealing with some of that. It’s great fun to ride and I can get quite far without feeling I’ve put too much effort in. If people could feel what I feel when I ride, they would be so much more popular. I’m also glad that the battery seems to work ok in the cold. I did at least 15 miles and used 60% of the battery, so not great, but ok.

Also there’s a few things that I wanted to try out. I bought an attachment arm for the gopro, so that maybe you would be able to see my face when I am riding the bike. It kinda works, but the audio is bad, so I think it’s just for a quick look really. There’s some nice footage though.

The other thing was that there has been a problem with the handlebars a bit, and I was able to take them apart a bit today to diagnose the problem. Now I know what it is I can fix it. Basically, one of the bits that is supposed to have ridges has gone smooth so needs replacing. Its cheap so thats good.

Hopefully we will be back to some bike streams soon
