If the council deemed it good for development it would be gone in a flash.
Yep, the power of the "Brown Envelope"
I own six bikes, five of which are mountain bikes of various description, but the one bike guaranteed to put a big grin on my face, and be the most fun by far, is my old On One Fatty. Just back from a short ride on it just now in fact. My neighbour was full of the usual stuff when I bought it - 'clown's bike' 'bet that's draggy' and 'they're only meant for snow...' That was until I let him ride it in the woods and he promptly went out and got a Specialized Fatboy.
People knock them usually without trying them - they are immense fun to ride!
You were both very polite which was good :)
yes, I always try to be. Good job my wife wasn't with me haha
37:53 lol she is a tad messy xD, GG
For a sec i thought your Jacket logo read "Stubborn Goat", i love your tenacity, Aries here myself, Not got the time of day for karens, politley bunny hop e'm, Stolen goat, Even better
tyres got a wash through the puddles, Subbed already
Got no reason as I’ve got a fat bike another great vid and 100 percent on the kids food
Another great video G. Have a cappochoochoo on me. You are, as always, a fat rubbered ambassador of biking. 💚
nah i'm happy being 54, i had my time, and enjoyed it, made amazing creations out of cardboard boxes in the 70's with sticky backed plastic, Blue peter lol, made a few mistakes, when i hang up my bike treads they will be for free
Quite agree about reducing or cutting out processed foods and sugar or it’s substitutes. Like you I ate bad stuff in the past but what can you do except get better and hopefully live a bit longer.
31:20 the irony of 4x4 tread marks tearing it up......Tis a Mystery benny ...ihn Short she pops out the woods ear bashing you about tree roots, and literally round the corner the place lokked like a 4x4 mine field ahahaha oh the Irony
keep riding. ignore her.
Not a lot different than my early single-track rides of twenty years age on single-track trails I followed the wildlife tracks as much as pos, and made them better for the animals, as for the ivy I fully agree with you, the weight at the top of any tree must get to a few cwt's (in old terms) so I use to cut the ivy to stop it as in a gale that can't be good for trees, Beach trees like all other trees were here thousands of your before us and will be still after we are long gone. Loved the ride nice mud too!
Great vid enjoyed that 👌👍👍👍
Stuff is dying from Ivy.
"Yeah yeah.."
Yeah yeah.
Interesting that you built the trails before the signs went up. I’ve always followed the signs when riding in the correct direction, so it gets a bit samey but I’m too worried about the confrontation with walkers/land owners to risk going off piste.
The trail the women stopped me on has been a mountain bike route for over 35 years and is also an historic road.
@@GrahamFootBicycleLover the area to the left of the car at the middle of buckholt road? Links up with the Fostons Ash Road?
Sticking to mars bars im 54, and still going lol
haha
After 40 odd years of being off a bicycle I’ve just bought a second hand fat bike off marketplace. It needs a few jobs doing to it but I have never had so much fun. I feel it’s harder to peddle but it’s something that I will have to get use to. Maybe a lighter one when I’ve saved a few pennies. But seriously, it’s brilliant.
Brilliant, well done. Yes like everything you can get better versions of a bike, or anything else. Mine rides as easily as a normal mtb.
Another great video ,In answer to your question ,I don't use a fat bike because Those ones I've tried are to heavy when it comes to lifting over gates ,fences etc & when I did LEJOG on 2.8" tyre I found the tarmac sections very tiring .I use 29 x2.25 plus a suspension stem & seat post on a pinion frame & for me it's an excellent all terrain bike .
Thanks for the comment
I had exactly the same conversation with the lady in woods by Birdlip, 5? Years ago when they bought the wood, she used to be a mum in the school next to us. The wood has some rare woodland order on it and as custodians they have to actively 'look after' the trees, part of which they see as ensuring the correct use of the footpath and bridalways.
When the pub (Fostons Ash) down the road recently applied for planning permission for two shepherds huts they had to take the impact on the woods into consideration and the council's wildlife officer was consulted.....
I try not to ride there (apart from across the bridalway) if I can help it as it just will cause confrontation.
I looked up histori road today, it is a recognised track on the map from days gone bye. It had the same status as the road. Interesting how things have been lost to land owners. The footpath has far more impact than bikes, but hey hoe
@@GrahamFootBicycleLover I just looked that little triangle of woodland up, it's classed as a priority class habitat but not actually part of the ancient woodland. Where as the woods on the otherside of the road have a both classifications.

How long before it gets fenced and an impossible gate goes in.
Yeah,…yeah,…..well,…yeah!😅
I would say ware is the sign that says I can’t ride thare
I've had a " Robust conversation" with that woman! I to have been riding through there since "Tracker" days pre mtb and no blow in from London with money is going to stop me.....................
Horses do the damage and churn it all up so perhaps she should take issue with her nearest neighbour with the horse yard and racing stables!!!!!
spot on
Good video I enjoyed it,don't mind a bit of politics,I'm with you on the health thing,I still can't believe millions of people took themselves for a jab for a cold,Crazy🤪
Get off of my roots! 🤷🏼♂️
hahaha
Shes not local, sounds like west london.
I would of just kept going.... 😕
If her argument was ture, then there would of been signs and a fence
Just a quick heads up if it's a footpath.
Wheel chairs are allowed.
So just tell them you're disabled and this is your wheelchair.
Or do you not like disabled people from enjoying the footpath??!!
No cycling . Only fox hunting on horseback .😡
Ivy doesn't kill trees and mountain bikes have about 5 times the ground pressure of a human foot, more than horses too actually. Fat tyres help but not as much as you'd think. A trail might have been (illegally) used by bikers for decades but you can't deny that the intensity of use will have increased substantially in that time. I do a lot of work with arboricultural impact assessments and you'd be surprised what it takes to protect and restore root systems. If a landowner wants to protect their trees then you just have to respect their rules and assume they've done their research.
In the US this stuff is very simple. 2 types of Land/Property, Private and Public. Stay off Private Property and all's good.
In England we have some rights of way (footpaths and bridleways) and a few national parks, which public access is permitted to. But all the land is owned by someone. It makes bikepacking and backpacking difficult, as unless you get landowners permission to camp anywhere (even in national parks), which is extremely difficult, you are trespassing and can be prosecuted if found (apart from parts of Dartmoor, which the landowner is currently trying to remove that right). So we have no "public" land. Fortunately, you're unlikely to be shot if you happen to stray from the path...
And in Scotland it's legal and encouraged to walk, cycle, camp on ALL land (the vast majority is owned by someone). So there you go - land of the 'free', or freedom to roam. Your choice. It's bloody GREAT!
@@brettmeikle I'm all in favour of the right to roam in England. Rights that Scotland, Scandinavia and much of Europe enjoy. Obviously the wealthy landowners, many of whom don't even reside there are against it!
Some people cannot help themselves. They have to give their unwanted opinions.
Don't care if you've been riding there for the years but it's not your stay off of it
Sounded like kier Starmers mrs, a Bit nasal, She thought you was an Anti huntsman lol, Don't walk on the roots ;) PUBLIC FOOTPATH........Call AB
People should be aware Trespassing on private land or doing something you're not supposed to on private land, like riding a cycle on a public footpath. The Land owner or a dedicated rappresentative can ask you to leave. If you refuse, then that land owner can use reasonable force to remove you. But under the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 (‘PCSAC’) from the 28th June 2022. in some case, Trespass becomes a criminal offence punishable by imprisonment of up to four months and/or a fine of up to £2,500.
I know, this is a right of way though,. all be it a footpath. My point was its been a cycle route for 35 plus years and since making this video I've found out it is actually an historic road.
Matters Not. Is it Private Property?@@GrahamFootBicycleLover
@@GrahamFootBicycleLover Many years ago I used to be the rights of way officer for South Yorks and Derbyshire TRF. Then it was easy to ride ancient routes, If you were confronted, the onus of proof was, why you can't ride this route.. Now it has been reversed, to what proof do you have, that it is legal to ride this route., You have to get people to back up your claim in writing. But in my experience Farmers and land owners don't mind if you stick to public ROW and not wander off them
@@protarget1what about disabled people in a wheelchair?
What is a wheel chair.
Something you sit on with wheels.....
So....
You don’t have the right to tell anyone ware thay can’t ride
Fat bike because if it aint got a motor you better have legs like Arnie , hows about that honest answer
On a side note when i was in my 20's i used to cycle 20 miles a day 6 days a week as an ex chef working split shifts for a hotel 5 miles from home ;)
Now i do use an ebike sorry
ok some weekends i only cycled 10 miles 😘, those french waitresses Qui Qui🥰
It depends on the Fatbike really. I'm 69 tomorrow and my fatbike is as quick as a mountain bike. I've ridden both for 40 years and often think, Maybe I should ride a skinny bike again but everytime I go back. Jumbo Jim tyres and the correct pressures make a massive difference.
40 yrs of undetected crime. Gloucester constabulary on route. How many other crimes do you want the magistrate to consider.....luckily he isn't wearing his fish tank outfit. quad bikes have wreaked a Camino route that is on my door step and motorbikes. footpath " feet ".
I’m plant based. I’m going to give them a try
I don’t see the attraction of a fat bike 😂😂🚵♂️🚵♂️
