Here is a reaction to some of the comments from my 'I Think E-Bikes Are A Problem' Video. Thanks to the 3600+ people who watched and the 200+ people who commented. Not too bad for a small channel. I think I cover many of the points from the comment section. Be sure to watch until the end because the final comment reaction might be a splash in the face for some of you.

All the best!

I reviewed this bell thingy a couple of years back in a quick style review. I didn't really recommend it, or give it a thumbs down, I just showed you what it can do. I used it sparingly over the last 18 months or so, but used it a lot on the weekend when my regular bell malfunctioned. Here, in less than 90 seconds, I tell you what I think of this thing.

Here's the original video if you want to watch - https://youtu.be/2ixN9Wo1PwM

My bike was looking a little shabby, so to spruce it up I bought some new bar tape. There are thousands of different types out there, but I liked the look of the Rock Bros tape, so I gave it a try. I had a few issues with the tape... one was self inflicted. I explain that here, along with how it went putting it on my bike and whether I like the product.

This is a video 2 years in the making, with one theme... e-bikes. They are everywhere folks and I don't think it's good for the cycling industry, which is suffering right now. These things are big, they are fast, they are taking up more space on trails and pathways and roads... and they're increasingly being ridden by people who don't know what they are doing. They also don't encourage cycling... you know CYCLING... peddling a bike.

I tie a number of things together in this video and my conclusion is... e-bikes are not good for cycling or the cycling industry.

Nothing like getting on the bike and having some snow fall when you're out riding your bike.

Only 30 days until Spring. Thank God!

For the most part bikes rides are a relaxing affair for me, but sometimes I get really annoyed. Here's a list of 10 things (in no particular order) that drive me crazy when I ride my bike.

I haven't got much experience with heart rate monitors, but I have been using this Coospo unit for training in my basement this winter. Learn how it synchs with the Coospo GPS, your phone and if it works with Garmin.

A real quick video on a cap that fits neatly under a helmet and helps keep your ears and head warm. It's a must for cold weather riding... and if you're folicly challenged like me. :)

My wife and I had a close call last night. I have no doubt you could be in danger in your home. Please watch this video and share it.

Thank you.

Inbike sent me some gloves and a jersey, so I checked them out and took them for a ride. Are they good quality for money? Are they good if you're cycling on a shoestring budget? Find out here.

Inbike full fingered glove review: https://youtu.be/O7U7CNhJW10

I had to ride and review this strange, weird, crazy looking saddle. It's supposed to help people who experience pain when riding. Will it work?

A review of some show covers that are a bit different.

Can a product that only costs a few bucks keep your chilly hands toasty warm? I ride in -7C weather and put a product to the test.

Looking for some shoe covers? Maybe these unique oversocks will do the trick.

A look at some low cost cycling shorts for people on a limited budget.

A few tips I have picked up over the years that I would like to pass along. If you have any helpful ideas, let me know in the comments.
