Thank you all so much for being so supportive. I wasn't sure how this video would go down but you have been AMAZING! You've had me welling up with tears of happiness. Thank you for the encouragement, I want you to know I read all of your messages (some great ideas thank you!) some I can't reply to (like the ones via Paypal) but I do read them all. I will let you know with a post in the community tab as to how the appeal goes. xx
OMG- I am so sorry to hear about your account issues! Don’t let this situation deter you. Your videos are educational, informative, authentic, and very much appreciated! I don’t have much, but I will definitely check out your store and give towards your PayPal. Much success to you!!!
Thank you Shelly. You're support and encourging comments are always a great boost. As for your question about currency it is possible, I have it turned off for the momnent, until I can find a pop up for those outside the UK telling them that the shop is in the UK, I don't want any confusion when it comes to shipping and such.
Hi, I decided to sell my car and buy a Brompton Electric bike because of your channel and the video’s you do for Pure electric. I hope all goes well for you. I will share your videos to my friends. Good luck. Xx
That's such a shame ! I've followed your channel from when nathan and yourself toured across Canada and love how its developed into so much more since. From one Crohns cyclist to another, I sincerely hope you can carry on shining a light for active living with Crohns and active travel in general on this channel.
That's WAY back! Do I ever wish I had the cameras I have now back then (and I'm more comfortable in front of them too!). Thank you for sticking around and supporting the channel. Hope you are keeping healthy!
I love your Chanel! It's too bad that this happened to you. I love watching you talking about Brompton, and I must say you are the reason that I am now using one every day (and thinking of buying the electric one). Thank you for all the work you put in the videos. Cheers from Belgium.
Hi Suz! Thank you for the lovely comment. It means a lot to me that people find the videos helpful and enjoy them. It keeps me going for sure. I loved Belguim when I was there for the 600km Audax. Hoping to get back soon and have a proper tour around (in daylight)!
I'm sorry to hear this is happening. That would be so frustrating. I love watching your videos and they have helped me make the transition from driving to year round cycle commuting and touring. What you've been doing is amazing and I appreciate all the effort. I hope you sort out the AdSense issue and that you receive payment again. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Hi so sorry to hear that. Hope you get things sorted out with Google soon. I watch your videos regularly and love your commuting vlogs. Pitched in a teeny amount on PayPal, and will subscribe to your newsletter. I support you! Keep making great content! -Bernie from Singapore.
Thank you. I've been blown away by the generosity and I may be able to update my go pro by the end of the year (all the tiny amounts add up fast!). Which is great because I'm want to try a new style of video but it requires a gopro that has decent sound (and the one I have is the 7 which has a terrible mic). 😃
Yours is one of my favourite cycling You Tube channels so was really sorry to hear about this. Do hope you can continue. Love the look of the website, going to look at it now. Best of luck with everything
Best of luck with this Michelle. Google is a 21st century version of Orwell's 1984, Kafka's The Trial and Dostoyevsky's Notes from Underground rolled in to one with a touch of Dickens' Bleak House on top.
Google are far too big, same with many others, under taxed and under regulated. Governements can't keep up and don't understand these kinds of companies. Something has to give.
Good luck with the shop what a fantastic idea! Thanks for your videos, watching helped me to decide to get an electric Brompton which has opened a world of adventures for me.
I feel your pain. I have been demonitized and you can never get what or who out of Google. It is really hard on your channel. UA-cam won't be promoting your channel and your adds go away. Sorry to hear about your problem. I subbed, hope it helps a little.😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
Thanks! Sorry to hear you've been through this. I'm not worried that my videos won't be promoted, because UA-cam/Google will still make money off of them.
Go for a Patreon account. I’m sure people would happily pay a few pounds a month to watch your content. You can then give your Patreon viewers early access to videos and perhaps extra content, then make the videos available on UA-cam later.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm up in the air about Patron. I would want to be able to commit to delivering value and be consistent, at this time I'm not sure I can do that. I haven't ruled it out completely though.
@@OneLessCar I think that it would be very sad for the majority who potentially wouldn't be subscribed to your Patreon (if you do choose that income route), it's kinda saying i'm gonna offer the better content to those who can afford the subscription lifestyle, and those who just follow on UA-cam can have the lesser. I think sponsorship from companies would be a much fairer route for an income.
Wow amazing sharing super liked it thanks for sharing enjoy watching video Keep going. Everything you need will come to you at the perfect time. and More powers to ur channel. Keep vlogging 🌹🌷🌺💖 sending love and support 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Hi Michell, so sorry to hear about your bad luck. Your videos have provided with many hours of pleasure. I agree with Trevor Adams, look into a Patron account. I'm sure many people (including me) will contribute a few dollars (I'm American) so that you may continue to produce quality information relative to cycling. I will be sending a contribution to your pay me account (wish I could add another zero) and also purchasing much need lights from your shop. I wish you continued success and all the best!
Greetings! Your videos keeps me up😆 all night Wow your channel has great views I'm thinking where this is taken hmm... haha Your channel is getting ridiculously well. Peace!
Hi Michelle, You have the right attitude, don't give up. I have just bought a pair of Tucano Urbano Footerine. I will keep following the products in your shop. I also got the Brompton electric because of your videos and I couldn't be happier with it. Cleverhood raincapes are great but expensive though. Your videos are awesome and I think we all love the way you communicate. Best regards from north Spain (Asturias)
Thank you so much for your support. Hopefully it will work out. I accepted it and let it go by the begininng of August as the stress was doing my head in, but you never know. Things usually turn out for the best I find.
I follow you since your previous channel name,i'm not remember it, but i still remember the content regwrding bromptom bicycle. Keep it up good work..u can do it
Sorry to hear UA-cam screwed you over. Not Just Bikes and Shifter played a game called plus 1 minus 2 to compare cycling in Amsterdam to Calgary maybe you could do one for UK cities. Also there is couple small start ups building bikes I know of but no reviews coverage are estarli and whoosh. I own a whoosh eMTB.
Another channel I watch has had similar issues. When they don’t respond he takes to UA-cam’s Twitter account (may be Google in this case?) and makes the complaint public. You’re more likely to get an actual response from someone. Hope it gets sorted soon.
I had a very unhelpful exchange with UA-cam Creators on twitter who kept linking me to information that was unhelpful. To be honest I hadn't even tagged them in the tweet so I had hopes when they tweeted and tried to help. 😃 Then it all went rather downhill. I have another attempt this afternoon with the tweet about this video. What I need is a human to speak to because my business address is used by sixty thousand other businesses and I believe this is the issue.
I am increasingly concerned by Alphabet/UA-cam's policies regarding demonetisation - there are so many creators across the spectrum of interests I have who constantly get caught up in their processes and are left to hold the cost until UA-cam gets around to correcting the situation much further down the line. I appreciate that there has to be some kind of process, but it is obviously not fit for purpose. I seriously hope things get better for you Michelle. The content is excellent - and it's helped me to adapt to urban cycling (and hopefully Bike Touring in the future). One small ask with your website - Tucano Urbano are not supplying their men's poncho coats (counterpart to the Magic Spring) to the UK through their official store and I've found other suppliers also struggling to get stock. I don't suppose you might be able to swing getting some in for your store if possible?🤞
It is a sad state of affairs when a company that makes billions can cut off someone's income with no human available to speak to. I've been in contact with Tucano, there is a new version of the jacket. Some of the new seasons stock are on the way. I have an order going in with them shortly and can find out when the jacket you want is available and and add it to the order. I think it's the Magic Day you are refering to (there is a cold weather version coming out too), do you know your size? (feel free to email me at michelle.brideau@onelesscar.life )
that's crazy that that happened. When I moved back to the US I had to create a new adsense account for the US, the Swiss one would only link to a Swiss bank account which I didn't have anymore. It took awhile for it to get approved so I lost like two months of adsense. I wonder if the appeal were to fail, if you could create a new adsense account somehow?
You can only have one account (per country I presume) as Nathan is a partner in the company and he managed not to get linked back to me I have no way of changing the account number on UA-cam as that section is blocked on my settings. It's been so frustrating. I'm hoping it's true what they say about the appeals as I've also heard you get one shot. What's truly crazy is that a company can cut off your income (luckily I don't depend on it to live as I don't make that much) and you have no way to contact anyone. A company that makes billions.
@@OneLessCar yeah, I really feel they should put more into their service side for the creators. I mean this sort of problem seems to have been going on for a long long time. From what I've seen it seems like everyone eventually gets sorted out, but it's just really a unclear, non-personalized, nerve racking process. best of luck, but I'm hopeful it will get resolved for you too.
This sucks. I was demonetized about 5 years ago just for being too small when that all went down. It is amazing how hard it is if you are not ESPN or some other giant rich corporation. I hope you set them straight next month.
Sorry to hear that you were caught up in that. I never understood why they didn't grandfather in people who were already monitized. I'm not sure what will happen with the next appeal attempt because I'm not convinced an actual human looks at them.
How's it going now with the adsense? I was riding a bike before I encountered your channel, but we're considering a movie to Bristol in part due to your videos.
If you have any questions about Bristol let me know 😀. AdSense situation is the same. I file an appeal every 90 days hoping an actual human will read it. At the moment though I'm uploading all the videos to a new channel to see what happens if I start over. 🤞 I'll keep this channel and advertise new uploads here once it's ready. Hopefully people will resubscribe to the new channel. So keep your eyes open for that 😊
Hi Michelle I am really missing new video updates and I am sure many of your followers are too. Have you thought about being on Patreon for support? So sorry UA-cam has treated you this way. Hope you are well..sending Best Wishes from Michael xx
Thank you! I'm slowly recreating a new channel. Check out the posts in the community tab for links. Hoping to make some new content in the next few months. Life has also gotten a bit in the way the past 6 months.
Wow Google/UA-cam, you are really screwing this up!! The minute brilliant channels like this have an alternative platform to your lack of service and greedy business model we will leave in droves. Perhaps you may like to do something about it beforehand ? Its called CUSTOMER SERVICE ... maybe learn from small businesses they have been doing it for ages.
Thank you. I'm not holding my breath but you never know. Luckily I don't count on UA-cam to pay my bills. Stay tuned I'll be sure to post an updated in the community tab.

sorry to hear I am not happy when google does this hope you get back to normal thanks Richard

You still have my trust. Keep safe
Definitely love your cycling channel it's what got me into cycling
Hearing this makes it all worth it! Thank you 🙏
Love your videos! Look forward to visiting your shop. Good luck!
