Eh up Tim! I know the issue with the weather - same here pal. I wouldn't want to have time off and get soaked daily. Thanks for keeping us along with for the journey.

[gaz--b]

I don't really notice the noises, it just makes it feel as if I am doing the cycle, without getting wet or knackered.

[brocklandwehr]

You’re doing great! Thanks for making these… don’t listen to squeaky shoe complainers or French flag disparagers.

[ChisWest]

I like the new pair of shoes. They make quite the fashion statement😊 As for the other noises, i really had not noticed. Guess i was too busy with the scenery and commentary which by the way are both quite good 😊😊. While im at it, yet another knod for the editor, great job also. Stay dry my friend

[leodegrance]

Even though it looked windy and the temperature was rather cool as you mentioned, it was a very sunny day's excursion! Keep on rollin'!

[ed-ventures]

If you want to trike ride with your wive… buy a Trinny #2 you will have fun 4 four! Same level, occasionly riding next to eachother so much fun, can speak out of experience, 🎉.
Such beautiful route through France Tim, miss that, hope to go there again…. despite of rain you manage to give us great video’s, keep on enjoying ‘m ! Keep on going yeah!😂🎉😊

[TravelingTice]

I don't mind the noises that much Tim! I like it as it makes me feel like I'm really there for it.. except for feeling the cold wind or rain of course 😅

[deanjohnston]

Noise is not a big deal Tim. The shoes look great. And that is a nice ride.

[AshleyMilner]

Don’t worry about the noise Tim. It’s all part of touring. My wife loves to put the corner of her finger across the camera when taking pictures on our Netherlands tours 😂😂😂. It likes a staring role apparently 😂😂😂

[taubenkiller]

if you want the tandem for you and the wife ! the Hase Pino as it is called, the capatain sits upright in the back like on a normal bike, and the recumbant seat in the front only pedals when they want, also can be ordered with motor.

[TrikesterHal]

Noises, meh! Not a biggie, you'll "sort it all out" as the Brits say. Nice shoes, BTW.

When I rode yesterday early I could barely see the outline of the mountains through the dust in air caused by winds far to the east the day night before.

Then yesterday afternoon, we had a helluva monsoon storm with wind, pea size hail, with the downpour hammering on my metal carport roof. Twas so loud I couldn't hear the TV. Even the kitty hid. It lasted a couple of hours, and then the sun came out. The temperature dropped from 104F to 68F! Yep, that's monsoon. Be glad you don't get caught in one of those, mate. 😉

[Tranquility-Base_on_the_move]

I didn't really notice the ticks and squeeks before, but now that you mentioned them, I can't stop hearing them 🙃. But they don't bother me that much. Wind noise is very difficult to suppress and behaves in strange ways. I think all those noises bother you the most when editing your videos.

So the weather there is no better than here. It's been that way since about October last year. As a result, thousands of snails eating all my flowers and vegetables in the garden 😢

Have a nice weekend and I'll see you next week.

[colemanweidenbusch]

@13:08 I guess that is a semi-recumbent upright bike? Reminds me that up to this point, I don't think I've seen another tadpole recumbent trike on your tour. Are they really that much of a rarity in France? I can't even think of a French (or Italian) trike maker, although maybe they just don't make them for export.

[davidwolfs]

they could adjust the chateau for old people to live togheter so young could rebuild old farms

[XAlpineSuptDN]

You are probably more annoyed by the constant sounds than us. I get it though when I ride my trike there seems to be all sorts of noises that could become annoying if I were on a long tour. My ICE trike adventure HD recently broke in one of the welds of the frame. Hopefully nothing like that happens to you.

[Ordacious]

Youre too critical. Never noticed the noises, especially when you have the music playing gently in the background. Stay safe Tim.
