Road Cycling Tips - Nobody talks about this.

My right ear is lonely.

Best tip i can give cyclists to ensure their safety is to have their middle fingers amputated.

But you are standing on the traffic side of the fog line and you are not watching traffic.

This video exists because humans are morons. Period.
Shouldn't need a video for common sense stuff...

Good fun vid.

A dica #1 é muito importante treinar para a propria segurança. A dica #2 parece mágica, mas funciona de verdade... se a corrente nao ficar presa, subir marcha, pode resolver o problema.
A melhor bike é aquela que voce tem. porque é a que pode usar, ja a bike dos sonhos....

Liked and subscribed! First tip I learned early (because I'm a paranoid rider). Second one I'll practice. Third one is good although I don't ride in a group. And I found on classifieds a 2004 LeMond for $400 and she's happier than a peach. Still looking for something older at a reasonable price, just in case.

Thank you most kindly! These are the secrets I wish I'd learned when I started riding. At 47.

If the chain jams, you're not going to get it back on without touching it. That's why I always carry a nitrile glove. My derailleur stop screws used to loosen causing chain jams. Since I put threadlock on the screws, I no longer have had that problem.

When I was a kid, I used to pick a few leaves and then put them on my fingers to keep my fingers from getting dirty while I put the chain back on. I used the leaves like finger coverings.

To get my chain back on without touching it, I look around for a small stick and use that to hook the chain back on!

A short video that goes straight to the point, no over explanation and useful. 5 on 5.

1) Don't turn your head to see what's behind! Use a rear-view mirror mounted on your safety glasses! I don't ride without either!
2) Always carry a paper napkin: you will use it for something, including getting the chain back on!
3 & 4) Agreed!

I took such a long break from cycling that I needed to practice turning around and staying balanced. so I picked a long stretch and practiced at the same spot every ride I took. but then I could only do it on one side

Im afraid the guy in the front is doing something else up there is that is the result.

Just simply dangerous

I don't agree with moving the hands toward the stem, at least not in cities like mine which have mediocre road surfaces. Hands towards the stem give you less control when encountering an unexpected pothole or stone or whatever. Since you are simultaneously turning your head, such an unexpected encounter is all the more likely.

Great video

these dings are way too loud my god

Tip 0. Never have to turn your head, by using at least one mirror.

Great stuff. Experience born. I’d like to see your knees. Those numbers on the wall don’t come without collecting scars as well. Keep rollin.

The double glasses got me hooked😂

lol you have a flair for cinema but your editing skills can use some work probably have improved the last 3 years hahaha. for a moment i thought my right headset earpiece was dead

What I have done that you shouldn't do, try to manually move your chain back on with your bike cleat. Works 50% of the time, the other 50% your foot gets a bit caught and the bike flips over and you nearly die. Heard that from a friend. Question -- or suggestion -- might be helpful to explain what upshifting vs. downshifting means. For some people, upshifting means shifting into larger gears with less difficulty, for others it means shifting up to go harder and faster (that's what she said). Great video. The bird poop was hilarious. The tip about seat on the neck when fixing chain, BRILLIANT ONE. I always struggle with how to position the bike. i carry latex gloves with me just in case I need to handle the chain because it gets all over everything.

ONE IDEA I USED- I LOOK BACK LOOKING OVER MY RIGHT SHOULDER- THAT WAY I DONT DRIFT INTO THE LANE & I SEE THE ROAD EDGE SO NOT TO RIDE OFF THE EDGE-

Great tips!

Excellent tips, and yes the best bike for me is my 1974 Concord Pro 1 2 x 5 10-speed with bar end shifters, and I think my 3rd Brooks B17 saddle. Central Indiana is mostly flat, so a 25 lbs bike doesn’t hurt too bad. Soon to be 70, and did my first “C” group ride last week and did o.k. My first ride of shame too when I fell from the group after 15 miles at the turn.

Botted channel.

First time I watched your video. I like your funny acts. hahahaha!

get a rear light with radar, and you dont need turn your head too often

Got back into cycling at 63 after 40 year hiatus. Quickly realized my body and neck flexibility and peripheral vision weren’t working for a dependable rear view. Got a handlebar mirror. Nearly 70 now and I depend on that mirror. (Thanks for the chain tips.)

I usually let my ears check my back for me listening for the sound of tires rolling and general engine/e-motor noise I'll still try to check behind me but last thing I want is to do 20 mph and have a door fly open

Regarding replacing your bike: A rear rack is essential for me and at all the mounting points the threads were getting stripped. I could not use a nut on the bolt next to the cassette as the cassette was in the way. The bike was 15 years old so it was time. Replace a bike only when it's worn out, not to be up to date.

But no lights?

I use a mirror, dirty fingers are ok, I ride my 85 Trek bike!

I don't have enough credit I'm safe boys

I'll go on a "group ride" when hell freezes over. I hate those people.

there is a small tool, 1 USD or something, to grip the chain and put it back without touching it. IT is small enough you can put it under the seat or small pockets.

Holy IBS batman!

Great tip on how to look behind
Thanks

why did you separate the audio channel left right ?
