  • Without any prior persuasion on my part, Belle started to take an interest in cycling in late March 2024, to my delight. Of course I was ready to support her in this endeavour. In this episode, we ride up Col de Vence together as I try to show her how nice cycling can be out of Singapore. It is only her 6th ride so we took it easy, no clipless pedals and not pushing too hard. Just doing it for the enjoyment. I think she did really well considering she's just starting out.
    A few days prior to the filming of this video, we rode in Lake Garda which I also managed to take some videos of BUT unfortunately all the footage was extremely shaky as I accidentally turned off the stabilisation function and they are not usable/can't be saved.

    Je suis ta chaîne depuis quelques temps, ça me fait super plaisir de te voir revenir dans mon pays, l'apprécier et même le promouvoir auprès des Singapouriens. Il y a 20 ans j'habitais Singapour et il fallait être suicidaire pour y prendre la route a vélo - mais l'an dernier j'ai vu des hordes de cyclistes, quel super changement! Bonne route!

    Great video. btw. that English from that nice French guy is stupid good! Also agree with you about riding in Europe. If you have the means, please do. If you want to go flat and fast, visit Holland, if you want to ride legendary cols/bergen, go to Belgium, France, Italy and Spain. The cycling culture is strong there.

    Consensus is that women love electronic shifting. Especially the front mech compared to mechanical front mech shifting. Belle's form on the bike is almost spot on. Whoever chose the size and fit her is good. That is why she is comfortable and faster.

    • @thewinsty
      @thewinsty  Před měsícem

      Yes she loves the ease of electronic front d shifting compared to the mech! We rented the bikes and only did very rudimentary adjustments, guess we got quite lucky

    If a relationship can survive a tough climb, it can deal with anything else thrown at it 😄. Unsolicited advice: A helmet is only effective if properly-worn and the straps on both your helmets were extremely loose.

      Same with my husband. I’ve tried road biking, beach biking and mountain biking. All a no go. A mile is his absolute limit and a climb more than 10 feet is out of the question.

    cycling at south east Asia is not like Europe because of the whether . let say u want to commute to work and you will be soaking wet sweating so you can imagine is not a thing in south east asia
