Merry Christmas: Big Snowfall & Alba makes Snow Angels.
Переглядів 1,4 тис.Рік тому
We had a big snowfall here last Sunday so Alba and I took a long walk to the pub. The charity she is from, Galgos Del Sol, had recently received some criticism about sending Galgos (traditionally shorter haired with very little fat) to cold countries such as Finland. So this video was a little riposte, to say that some of them, such as Alba, love nothing more than a day in the snow. All filmed ...

Back in 2018 we made a pilot about the need to leave the city and start a new life in the countryside. No-one wanted to commission it, primarily because none of us has tons of Instagram followers, but now, in 2020, the premise seems far more relevant as hordes of people are making the exodus to a greener, more pleasant life. Are they ready for 4pm February darkness and the lack of street lights...
King Alfred's Way Bike Tour - on an e-Cargo bike with my dog running it. Riese & Muller Load 60.

At the beginning of September I set out to test a 2020 Riese & Muller Load 60 which I've converted into a bike-packing monster. My dog Alba joined me running 20-30 miles a day (as advised as safe by my vet). We wild camped and met many great people along the way who kindly let us charge the bike at their pubs and places of work. If anyone is keen to know more about our kit list or what we thoug...

We are two guys living and working in the city who spend most of our time wishing we were somewhere else.

wow 👏👏👏
Complimenti, il video è molto bello. Anche io non lascio mai il cane a casa, e guarda che combinazione, ho appena ordinato una R&M Multicharger.
And how you charge the battery in the mountains?
You stop at pubs and have a pint. The bike has a 100mile range so in the UK you're never going to have an issue so long as you plan a little...
My favorite video on youtube, greetings from Brazil!
That's amazing to hear! Thanks Diego!
This channel is amazing! It all started with "The search" and Alisdairs story. It had everything. Irony humour and a healthy dose of self deprecation. Recommend anyone watching this film works through this channels past films😊👏👍🏼
We first watched this quite soon after you sent it and watched it several times over the years😊. Your fisherman restauranter was such a character and i remember hearing of his unfortunate demise prior to watching this film the first time! 🫵✊️👍🏼👏
Love your videos, I'm taking my 80lb 12 year old dog for her first ride this friday, planning to buy the load 75. What kind of harness do you use with Alba and where do you attach it to the bike? Cheers, Leslie (& Luka)
Hi Leslie. The Load has tons of attachment points. Personally I don't tie Alba in. My thinking is that it's a big heavy bike and if we were to have a crash I wouldn't want me or her to be attached to it. On all my other bikes I wear clip in pedals but not on the Load because of this. We've only once had one small crash and we both kinda jumped and were ok. She got used to getting in and out pretty quickly so has never needed a harness... but that's just my view....
Too many cargo bike adverts focus on carrying 3 kids or 100kg of shit from B&Q but really there's no better reason to buy one than being able to cycle around Snowdonia with your dog. Absolutely sold.
Hi great video. How many miles you were doing per day roughly with a charge ?
Hey, sorry for the lack of reply - I was doing about 70 to 80 miles a day mainly off road but I was charging at lunchtime when stopping for lunch. BUT I had one of the batteries replaced soon after as it wasn't working (under Bosch warranty) so I can't really say. Nowadays I easily get 70 miles out of the bike if riding on a mix of Eco and Tour. I hope that helps!
Yeah also it's that dastardly true story of where the battery came from for the e bike. Child labour, I bet your dog wouldn't like that. Sorry for being a buzz kil bud. Jesus is Almighty King.
That was sick as fuck
Do you secure your dog in the bike? How would you recommend to secure the harness to the box?
Hey Eric, I don't secure her in. I did initially but now I don't need to. My thinking with it is... I don't want to be secured to a bike that big - so I don't wear clip in pedals. If I crash I'd want to be able to launch away from the bike and I go with that with Alba, I don't see a benefit in her being tied in unless it's a very small prang... so far so good - works for us!
"E-bike is lazy" says the person taking his car to work every day. Let them talk. Who gives crap. "but I'm not competing against anyone" Well said. You just want to go out and have fun.
I responded to someone who shouted out to me “that’s an ebike, but that’s cheating.” “ No it’s not I am not racing anyone.”
What a wonderful video, quite lovely.
Beautiful video! Can you tell us where was this filmed?
fancy bike but it's not realistic for most people. what most people need is a very short gear and some patience to get up the mountain. who told you it's cheating? i've never heard that
Pure joy <3 lovely vid. Brought a big smile to my face, thanks
I have an e-bike, and I have a trailer. I’ve just rehomed an adult lurcher, and plan to introduce him to bike and trailer as soon as he’s settled in.
Great film about real world.
Beautiful. I've just purchased an electric cargo tricycle with a box front similar to yours so Wylfen, my GSD and I can ride into the Forest. Love this video. Thank you for sharing your experience with us all. Blissful. ❣️🐾
Ohhhhh nice! This looks like the areas I ride my Load 75 here in Redmond WA (USA) near Seattle! Spectacular!
Hi, I’ve bought the R&M Multi Charger Mixtie 750GT.. Brilliant bike for my work ( pest control) around Bath and leisure..also carry my Border Terrier and Bushcraft tackle.. more vids please 👍new sub

Inspiring! Wonder if a 9 yr old spaniel would cope😅
Thanks for an awesome video. I have a cargo bike and three little dogs. Cargo bike has no suspension and dogs freak out on bumps. You dog is amazing.
DO YOU KNOW THAT GEM OF A DOG IS CALLED A “” Norfolk” lurcher ??
So cool 😮❤🎉
Great video, well done! I’m based in The Netherlands and considering a Bullitt for multiple reasons, one being the transportation of our Podenco Ibicenco. I recognised your dog as a Galgo immediately, pink nose pretty much gave it away directly 😊 She’s really relaxed, our Podenco Ollie is more nervous, which makes me think a lot about the crate/box/basket I will make/get for him in the cargo area. Can you tell something about your considerations about that? Did you try or do you use other setups as well? Thanks! Martijn, The Netherlands
Thanks Martijn! I tried the Packster before this and just made her sit in it while stationery - fed her some treats... then I used a harness to keep her in... but after a while she understood how it all worked... she prematurely jumped out once on an off road track and had a little spill... but since then she's been fine. I don't wear clip in pedals and I feel the same about Alba - if we were to have a crash, I would want to not be attached to the big bike.... and so I don't harness her in anymore... hope that helps and good luck!
Love this video
beautiful video, great companion you got there :)
Is Alba a Podenca Ibicenco grande with Roughhair ?
She is a galga - her mother certainly was. Not sure what Dad looked like but she's a bit smaller than a typical galgo and has rough hair... but otherwise long nose and down ears are more galgo than podenco....
Love it ❤
Happy doggo hehe
Far out! That looks too awesome
I found another set-up to cargo a larger sized dog, but to me, it is kind of pricey; I forgot the name of the product, but basically you remove your front wheel of your bicycle and attach the cargo addition which has two 20" wheels with Disc brakes on it to your font fork and other minor adjustments to install on your bicycle handlebars and then your dog too will have front seat of the bicycle. The cost in USD dollar is a little over $1200...look into the "TreGo" front bicycle fork trolley cargo attachment.
so beautiful, Greatings from Germany.
You made my day. I don´t have today the money for this bike, but today you´ve given me a bright smile to this video. 🧡 I´m sure the bike´s price is worth it, because of the love to your dog 😻. I wish you all the best and thanks for this wonderful inspiration for the time with my dogs in nature. 💫
J'ai construit mon cargo bike pour mon chien. J'ai voulu garder la géométrie d'un VTT, et ça le fait tres bien, une roue de 26" devant c'est bien mieux dans la boue et les cailloux. Super ta vidéo avec le toutou, j'adore 👍 ua-cam.com/video/nsXN8THykrw/v-deo.html
Wow.
Alba is one happy pup! Love from Canada
She is a Greyhound disguised as Giant Terrier 😊👏👍❤
the most dogs loved snow
Absolute joy on every level. ❄️ I didn’t realize it snowed that much there! Alba, you’re a lucky lady! I wish I lived just a snowy walk thru the woods away from a cozy pub! No Load ride? Too slippery maybe. 🚲 Seasons Greetings from Virginia.
As long as they are not made to live outside in the cold, most if not all dogs LOVE the snow and cold as evidenced in this video. Both of my S. Florida dogs LOVE the cold and the snow just so long as they are able to come inside and dry off afterward.
She’s a lurcher ❤
What's the range like on the load 60? On average peddle assistance and a full battery how far can you typically go?
Hi! That's really difficult to say. On this trip I was getting 45 miles, fully loaded, mainly off-road, riding in Eco. But then I found out months later that one of the two batteries wasn't working, so now I easily get 75miles out of a charge but when I'm riding around here now I'm largely in Tour or Turbo so I haven't done a real test of riding in Eco but I reckon you'd be close to 100 miles if mainly on road and using Eco a lot... so if you carry a charger with you and you're close to somewhere that will help you charge, you're basically good for some really really long rides...
A bicycle is a tool: maybe a tool for recreation, maybe one for sport, maybe for utility. Sport purists are obnoxious, in my opinion. Just ride your own ride.
I want 1 too! Then get a dog! Yes!
Interested in how you got charged on the way. It takes hours to charge a flat battery. So did you leave a battery with people to charge and go do other things? I quite fancy the route but couldn't see how to get the electricity without paying for a bed.
Hi! So I stopped every night at about 6 or 7pm and had a couple of pints in a pub. I'd take the batteries off the bike and basically stay in the pub until I had 100% charge. I'd also ask locals for advice on places to wild camp which was surprisingly positive. Then I'd get somewhere and camp so in the morning, starting at 6am I had full charge. By lunchtime I'd need a top up so would stop at another pub or cafe for an hour. The only place that didn't work out was when I stopped at the Land Rover garage, and then I just chatted with the owner for an hour while the battery charged. An old friend ended up buying the Series 1 he was restoring so I don't think he minded in the long run. I'd say the 'range anxiety' is half the fun - you do have to plan very differently and you do have to ask for help from pubs and others. I found that part of the experience opened up conversations that never would have happened on a push bike....
@@the_search thank you for the reply. Curious of mileage per battery as off road and hills will drain quickly. I’m assuming 500wh battery on the RM load and two batteries .
@@the_search got to say bike touring you meet interesting people, it’s the best way to see the World.
@@kevinallen4604 yes that's two 500wh batteries on mine, and it depends how you much you're riding in Eco vs Turbo and also the terrain. I recently did an 80 mile ride quite easily on a mixture of road and off-road, that's was mainly riding in Tour, so the range is pretty hefty, and if you carry the charger there's always a reason to stop for 45 minute shandy and a charge up...
Pablo from Bikecanine it’s been cycling thousands of kilometers with 2 dogs on a regular bike! He, Pizza and Hippy just crossed Europe, just saying!
Oh, that's a great channel they have. I hadn't seen their videos and also wish I spoke Spanish but thanks for the tip...
