Night Cycling Storm Hazards Rain And Pizza City Bike Blogger

- Tonight was a scary night.
I came across a bunch of storm debris and the power was out at two sections of the road during my bike ride. It can be dangerous riding in the dark on the road after a storm. You need to be especially careful of sticks, fallen trees, downed power lines, etc.
It was sprinkling rain at the beginning of the video, and then let up, and then there was a heavy downpour near the end of the video.
Before heading out I had pizza for dinner, and I think I didn't wait long enough before jumping on the bike so my stomach was still trying to settle throughout the ride.
One thing I forgot to do before going out was to charge my flashlight, so I think it began to dim slowly. I will be upgrading to a brighter light, so stay tuned.

This kind of filming style of yours is the best, where the camera is around your chest and we can see your arms and you commentate while riding. Keep doing these kinds of videos !
GodsChaingun I agree, watching BikeBlogger ride is almost like watching a computer game. All he needs is a UI on the screen showing speed and heart rate or sommething :)
Thanks for sharing. I really like to ride a bike at night with rain, and now I cant,. so this video brought me that feeling.
Your video made me realise I need a stronger light for my bike.
same here
greetin from East LOs Angeles ...great job bro.. ride on ! big rider as well 24/7. Nothin beat a 3am full moon roll to work in to downtown L.A on my old school Raleigh down tube swiftin killer machin ha ! ..this is how i get fit. why drive ..i burn fat not oil.
i dig it ! !
burn oil is good too.
I love the sound of your rear hub
This is a really cool idea for a channel! You should encourage some of your viewers to suggest topics that you could talk about while filming the video, I think that would maybe help you grow! Regardless, great channel!
i feel like a creep watching some guy ride a bike but at the same time it is amusing and helps me bike with traffic, thanks
Another great video, I am amazed at the amount of bike lanes you have. The UK is not so well served I'm afraid. Cycling on our roads is not a pleasant experience.
+E Miff vieni a roma brivido assicurato hai tutto a disposizioe strade, buche, caos, sampietrini, pista sul tevere se non piove,insomma ce da divertirsi
before a wet ride, try applying toothpaste on your glasses and rinse them until it's clear so it wont fog (from the inside). :)
***** Good tip, Noel Fonseca! Some other tips I picked up from swimming with goggles... dishwashing soap or baby shampoo, place a drop on each lense, don't let it bubble, rinse well but do not jet the water over the lense, let it air dry and avoid using your fingers because you may remove the film that prevents the fogging. Another less effective option is your own spit/saliva. And if you buy a specific product to repel water like Rain X make sure you get the right version for your glasses, for instance, original Rain X is for glass, Rain X Plastic Water Repellent is specifically for plastic/polycarbonate glasses. Other anti fog products worth checking out include Jaws and Cat Crap. I have no experience with any of these products but I thought I'd let people know they're out there. I would be careful either way though because some glasses may already have some protective film and you could risk removing it.
BikeBlogger Well, just don't use all tips from swimmers.. Like whizzing on them before use ass that also apparently helps fogging issues hehe :)
great videos
Night riding looks fun but I get paranoid because all the weirdos and bad people roam out in the streets during that time. If I had a permit to carry conceal, I wouldn't mind at all riding into the late night hours. I'd be nervous riding the lonely trails and back alley ways if I didn't carry a gun..... you just never know what lurks behind the next corner. Stay safe out there!
got a flat yesterday, waiting for tire to come in the mail...this is how i got my ride in today lol
How many lights do you recommend riding with at night?
well, it's 2018 now... did they complete those apartments and the traffic increase on the road that crosses over the interstate like you were worried about?
how does the bike handle uphills?
How many lumens do you use for the front light?
This was one of my old lights. I think it was 400 lumens. I recommend at least this much to see while riding.
How do you do the audio for these?

Think you can do a video on not getting to work sweaty and smelly. My commute to work is 10 miles and i only ride home from work atm because i dont want to get to work all nasty lol. I heard taking time to cool down(slow down heart rate) prior to getting off your bike a few km away from the job helps, since it seems i only feel like im starting to sweat after i stop, as well as changing as soon as you have cooled down.
Krevra I'll add it to my list, Krevra. Maybe I'll try to control my need for speed and ride slowly one day to work too. :) Those are good suggestions and I do agree with ya.
What bike are you riding? Great video 😃
What light are you using, if you don't mind me asking? I've just got back into biking (I'm so out of shape), and have limited my riding to a local parks paved trails for now. Once I get my legs back into shape, then I'll do some more advanced riding. Anyway, I have some red tail-lights, a small flashing red light on the back of my helmet... and now I'm looking at veracious headlights, and I'll get a flashlight mount to use as a backup... I ALWAYS have a an EDC Flashlight on me. I'm looking at the Bright Eye light on Amazon and the the Solarstorm lights... something not to expensive but good, and something I can run that will light my way be not be too overly bright. I much prefer biking at night... it cooler, there is usually less people and cars to deal with, etc. I've been checking out your video and find them enjoyable, and have subscribe. All my best...
The front light in this video is a Fenix UC40 UE flashlight. I used it with this bike mount tinyurl.com/flashmount
Thank you. I was an avid biker growing up, through high school, collage and until about 32. My friend and I twice road in a Bike-a-thon from New Jersey to Florida (1979 & 1980), and we often did 80+ mile round-trips during our Summer breaks from school from Trenton, N.J. to the Jersey Shore... or we were 10 to 20 mile on more local trips 2 or 3 days a week, and I road to and from work almost daily. Most of which was all done on an 1972 Sears Free Spirt 10-seed my parents bought me for Christmas to replace my Schwinn Continental 10-speed that I bought with some of my savings from money I made with my paper route.
I'm now 55 and out of shape with back issues from an auto accident and a fall from a tree a few years back while installing an owl nesting box (I'm a wildlife researcher).
I now have a dedicated bike headlight with battery pack, but also want to mount a flashlight bracket to mount on of my many flashlights in to have a backup light, and for my long rides in wilderness areas in the New Jersey Pine Barrens rather then having to stop and change battery packs... and thought not a frequent, lights can fail, break or fall off. Your set up gave me the idea.
FYI... I’ve been watching your videos which give me inspiration.
All my best... and thanks again.
good story. funny i just sold a Free spirt 10 speed all complete. love ridin and big collector of the old classic bikes, ten speeds. nothing like rusty trusty iron... true survivor and victor too. Get them and restore them.
brother 55yrs is not old ... get back on take it slow, don't sprint..just enjoy it .
Good Luck
How did you know your bicycle speed is 35 Mph? Please tell me!
I've been to atomic cowboy on manchester when I visited.
What kind of headlight is that. How many lumens?
***** Hello, kevin o, the light is a Fenix UC40 UE. The setting used in the video was 400 lumens but I forgot to charge it before I left so I think it dimmed during the ride. I have brighter headlights now described in the video here ua-cam.com/video/y8L3jecwc1I/v-deo.html
Yea I saw after i asked haha. Subbed.
We need this camera angle !!!!
I was just remembering what I was doing on the day you were making this video. eating dinner and nursing a broken ankle. .It was my 22 wedding anniversary. I broke my ankle the month before.
so can you pick up groceries or pizza on a bike?
+Icy bubba Sure you can, Icy bubba. A bike rack with bungee cords and a container is good for that. Pannier bags are also very nice for that. Or you can use a backpack for smaller hauls. I described some other ideas in this video here ua-cam.com/video/yEn8YWYJaCY/v-deo.html
BikeBlogger Thank You! I am not quite old enough to drive or ride a motorcycle or whatever so Bicycles is something cool because you can go on the road on them without a license. It is kind of embarrassing that I don't know how to ride a bike yet, balance is my issue. :/
+Icy bubba Nothing wrong with that, never too late to learn. I know people who can't ride bikes, swim, ice skate, etc. I got a drivers license but choose to ride my bike most of the time instead, it's healthier and more fun I think.
BikeBlogger Not to mention cheaper :P It is important to know how because say if you get your license revoked you know?
I love your videos but, for the love of god... Get a weather app.
i need diskbrakes .. and a new bike
LOL my pleasure I was just looking at this video and found another bad word at 27:10 😅😅😅😂😂😂 2
Dude....seriously? You're riding at night out in the rain....for fun..... Go home!
