- My first video. I will work hard to improve.
The ferry i normally take was not working, so i had to travel 10 km around to the next available ferry. Bound to be late for work i hitch-hiked a lift in the wheel of a Speed Pedaelec and made it to work just in time.

Who the heck is Barry? I am a ex- elite triathlete and started riding in 1984. In real life I am a chiropractor.
This channel is about cycling and health. I also build my own bikes which can be a risky business as actually i am a chiropractor.
Born and bread in South Africa, riding my bike in The Netherlands is one journey of discovery as it's so beautiful. I race mountain bike marathons and will soon be doing my first gravel race.
I raced as a triathlete in South Africa and the United States of America and was on the South African Triathlon Invitation Team 1989.
Currently i am racing the Sforz MTB Cup in the Netherlands and Germany. I finished in 4th place in my age-group in 2017 and 2018 - 50+
Thank you for watching my channel.

Cool, what is the ave speed behind a speed pedelec? Do they mind if you sit there? Does it cost you energy?
Ave speed is about 43km/h...too slow for motorpacing but perfect on a commute. I usually ask people if it is ok once I catch em...most don't mind...some absolutely don't want it...you never know :)
No it costs no energy...you do need a real effort to catch them when they come by...usually I am cruising at 30km and they come by at 45km/h...I think they are trying to avoid me latching on...I think...but it's never a big deal as long as you react immediately....once you doubt yourself and react to slow, they are a gonner
