Its 3 years old in June this year?😯 It seems like you just got it last year, 14000km isn't good! I thought my Giant was bad needing new bearings at 14000miles...

Isn't your Vado still under warranty?

I needed 84 miles to reach 1000 miles for 2024 so that was my target on a very nice day for cycling. It was a frosty start and there was a bitterly cold northerly wind blowing, thankfully only around 15mph. I was well wrapped up and set off around 9.15am with blues skies and sunshine for a nice...

50/28 as I was using level 4 assist lol

A bit of a bonus ride today, the forecast wasn't looking great but when I looked out of the window the sky was looking promising so I went with my gut and set off at 9.15am. It was a chilly morning, around 4C and a 20mph westerly wind was blowing which was making things feel pretty cold. I was...

Stefan, that's part of your problem right there! Breakfast is very important before your ride and thank you for your kind words 👍 I forgot to mention an absolute idiot draughting behind a motorised scooter on a road bike, his front wheel was about 6 inches from the rear of the scooter and it...

I decided to have a lazy weekend to recover from my vaccinations and Fridays tough ride, despite a nice day on Sunday like Jason @jason.flood reported earlier. Nice ride Jason, the roads around Beecraigs are excellent 👍 I looked at the weather for today and thought it was time for a longer ride...

Since one of my brake pad retaining screws snapped last winter, I have been removing my pads regularly and cleaning them as it only takes about 2 minutes on my bike!

Last night I had 2 vaccinations and they left me with 2 rather painful arms, thankfully I managed to get a decent sleep though. The forecast for today was fog and mist in the morning, clearing into the afternoon and with light winds and a temp of 9C I just had to chance it and hope the vaccines...

At the end of 2011 I bought my first GPS, a Garmin Edge 500 and all my rides were logged at Garmin Connect until the battery packed in after almost 5 years! So I bought a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt and found Ridewithgps and painstakingly uploaded 5 years of data to that and now have 44,727 miles logged...

What a commute Jason, wish I had that commute in my working days ;) I have a real soft spot for St Andrews as we holidayed there most years as kids and it was my dads favourite part of Scotland. I motorcycled up many times and always loved the coast road and thought it would be cool to cycle it...

Cool Jason, I'm surprised you didn't take the coast road which is much more scenic ;) Yeah the path is a bit rough at the Guardbridge end but its fine next to the golf course and way safer than that crazy road! Funny you should mention some idiot shouting "use the cycle path" as I had the exact...

I decided to check the weather further afield in the hope of finding some decent conditions for a longer ride, I plumped for St Andrews and put the bike in the back of the car and left home at 6.15am and arrived at the harbour in St Andrews just after 8am. Not a bad view to start my ride ;)...

I spotted an opportunity to get out this afternoon with a 30mph tailwind which was very inviting, as the wind was set to get calmer as the day progressed...when I say calmer I'm talking 20mph which is a mere breeze given the weather we have been enduring! I had an 8 mile climb to start with...

That reminds me of the day my freehub packed in less than 500 yards from home after a 51 mile ride, I sure got lucky that day... 😂

I had a very lazy day yesterday while the weather was truly abysmal, I woke up this morning and it was looking a bit better so I headed to Callander Park again for a nice morning walk. When I got home I was feeling good so I checked the forecast for the afternoon and it was a bit iffy and...

Thanks Art, I'm actually dreading that day as its highly unlikely I will have the funds for another e bike...I still have my trusty old Giant CRS Hybrid that I bought new in 2009, no motor though... 😂 Maybe a lottery win will come my way...🤣 Awesome video mate! Yes I have reposted all of my...

I mentioned in my post yesterday that I may go back out today to take my January total past 500 miles, I was feeling good after a walk at the park in the morning and decided to head out at midday! Once again the winds were light, well for the first hour or so of my ride when they started to pick...

Cycling at its very best and 30000 miles now surpassed! When I bought my bike at the end of March in 2018 I could never have imagined the journey it would take me on, today I passed the 30000 mile mark less than 6 years after I made my best bike purchase ever! My display is only showing 29900...

Yet another blustery day, I was actually questioning my sanity at one point... 😂 The forecast said wind gusts around 35mph which is right on my limit, unlike Wednesday though the winds were there to stay! I set off at 12.15pm with 2 batteries charged to 80%, I used the same road as Wednesday to...
