What’s your advice for a newbie cyclist?

[cubase]

I started watching this channel to be better informed about which e-bike to buy, but even though I've now bought my bike, I can't stop watching because of her amazing infectious personality! 🙌🏼

LOVE the GTA start to this video!! Please keep doing things like this.. definitely grabs and holds viewers attention for the rest of the video!

A colleague, who tried to persuade me it was too cold to commute by bike as it might make me ill, went skiing... and broke his leg.

I always wear eye protection now.Whilst cycling alongside a large thorny, bramble laced hedgerow I almost lost an eye.

[orthicon]

Even though I use a rear-view mirror, I make it a point to turn my head and nod at following vehicles, just as a courtesy to let them know that I am aware of them.

6:24 I would recommend locking the rear wheel to frame and post rather than the front wheel.

Fitted mudguards are a must, but an even better investment for me was to add mud flaps to the fitted mudguards!!!! Worth every single penny they was :)

[lafamillecarrington]

Your journey to cycling sounds very like mine - particularly the hatred of cyclists who are too cool to use mudguards! A good wind-proof outer layer is an excellent investment.
I didn't mind rain (I always carried spare clothes) or cold weather - but I hated the headwinds on the way into work. I eventually added tri-bars so I could get really aerodynamic.

[michaellupton]

Good sensible advice…my suggestions for newbie cyclists would be to learn how to do some basic maintenance, cycle with led lights all the time, wear something that makes you visible … love your top !
Oh and can someone please make a similar video for urban drivers on the updated Highway Code regarding priorities and leaving a safe passing distance.

[eddiemiller]

I wouldn't ride next to deep water if wearing that lock as a belt! Great video

[minionofgozer]

Honestly, I could watch this woman all day 🥰

[techtitanuk]

I love tbis channel its full of advice, bike's, laws etc, ellis is a fantastic presenter who makes this channel come alive and its also fun, chilled and just down to earth like watching enthusiastic mates lol. Seriously never change.

[Johnthetripper]

Those buses pulling across when you are next to them, WOW!

[notlt]

my advice would be to start the way the video mentions-borrow a bike, rent a bike with a bikeshare, see if you like it before upgrading. start small and keep going if you like it.

[majorskies]

All excellent advice especially the beginning bit but its also a shame we have to be advising people of this in the sense riding on UK roads are dangerous, in the netherlands, they dont need to worry about this at all, bikes have priority and its safe enough for kids... i hate how car centric our cities are in the uk

[jamiegordon]

Just ordered the Tenways CGO600 Pro after watching your review on it. Should be with me in a couple of days. Thanks for the information

[harmymd]

This is so well done, laughing and learning

[mnshp]

them sunnies are so cool, i havnt ever seen them before. also with bikes, i tried a non suspension bike, it was awful, saps your energy, always go with at least some front suspension as just feels better when riding
