- 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.

Too good to have a companian who willing to ride together!
Loved this french dude! So nice!
Great job belle!
Watta beast!!!
Your wife’s a natural cyclist.
‘Only 900m’ 😂😂😂
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!
Looked like a great day out. She spends more time in the drops then most riders do in an entire ride, fair play
She's just showing off her recently acquired skill
Awesome. this is the exact way to enjoy the city, view, and the climb! Kudos on the effort put in by Belle!
GREAT VID GUYS. ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. U COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER!
Loved this!
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.
Very Nice ! Thanks for the take along. Your partner did an awesome job & never looked too troubled by the climb 😉
Thanks! All the spin classes help I guess
Nicely done video., good commentary while climbing ...nice ! U guys look like are having great fun...
Great day out on the bike!
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.
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
Very nice Winston and Belle 👏😎
Lovely video. Good to bump onto you earlier!
Nice bike!
Excellent!
No branded attire dude goes sailing past, this is what cycling is about, not shaved legs and Maap jerseys
My guess is he was a mountain biker just chilling, if your a hardcore mtb'er and look after your self having strong legs for climbing is a norm.
@@McCaff62 true
She did great , hope you stay with it , Man that's a great thing if women see their endurance is stronger than men's ,We are in for Real fun .
Happy you liked my favourite hometown climb ^^
Absolutely!
👍
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.
It’s been this way for the last 10 years for me, I mainly use the roc loc to keep it snug. Has worked well so far
@@thewinsty Any crashes that involved the helmet in the last 10 years?
Been lucky so far
@@thewinsty That's kinda like saying "Not putting on the seat belt has worked well so far because I have not been in any car crash" 😄
hahaha you are not wrong
How to Show Your Partner That Cycling Can Be Fun
1. Take her to France
2. See above
Could you share top cycling routes in the Malaysia and Singapore regions?
Her seat looks a bit low!
First!
Good thing she doesn’t have a cycling computer. Cat fishhhhhhh 😂😂😂
The bike shop should've got your saddle height right! A couple of inches too low - must've killed the quads!
when money is no object ;-)
is the dude on 7:33 same as the dude on 11:25? Because the bike changed yet his socks and shoes seem to match?
my bad, didnt see the friend till now
ever consider getting her to try climbing on a Specialized Turbo Creo (e-bike)?
You don’t appreciate achievements without the hardship
I couldn’t count how many times she said about the bike.. it’s a hint! It’s a hint to buy her a new bike with electronic groupset! 😂
7th... haha
Showed my wife, didnt work =(
Did you try to switch her off then on again?
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
