  • Fool's Spring - I don't care what comes next - I'll take it! Late February/early March and riding the gravel bikes in the 70 degree sun! Its bad for the planet its good for my soul. Just a couple of bicycle rides out to Kent and some good vibes with friends. Sunday's bike ride was our "recovery" ride after Road Apple Roubaix with a stop at MadCap Brewing. Monday Erin and I went searching for a few new roads through the neighborhoods.

      Thanks - I truly appreciate that!
      I think the workshop would be real short - "make hundreds of bike videos and avoid doing what you don't like in other bike videos"!🥸

    It's a beautiful early spring ride, the sun is shining, can't get much better than that. The spring is just around the corner. Any big bike touring plans for this summer?

    • @TimFitzwater
      @TimFitzwater  6 місяців тому +2

      Yes - I am so excited for more nice weather - 60s today but 37 on Sunday🙁
      We are starting to think about our plans - leaning towards a tour around the Finger Lakes with the top part being on the Erie Canal.

    Hey Tim, do you ever ride your vintage Trek? I only see you on that Raleigh these days while that Trek 500 is a lot cooler 😉

    • @TimFitzwater
      @TimFitzwater  6 місяців тому +1

      Not much. I have about 5000 miles on it but I prefer wider tires these days.

    • @wittebruidsduivenschouwen-2488

      @@TimFitzwater Wider tires mean more rolling resistance. But I assume you mean you mainly drive off-road 👍

    • @TimFitzwater
      @TimFitzwater  6 місяців тому

      @wittebruidsduivenschouwen-2488 no / I mean on road too. That is a very outdated statement. Skinny tires lose tons of energy to vibration - way more than you loose to rolling resistance. Even the pros are riding wider and wider tires every year. The understanding of this has dramatically changed with research being done on actual roads instead of steel drums in labs.

    • @wittebruidsduivenschouwen-2488
      @wittebruidsduivenschouwen-2488 6 місяців тому

      The most optimal tire width for the road is 28mm. Anything wider than this is therefore a compromise. What do you ride on your Tamland 2? 40mm?

    • @wittebruidsduivenschouwen-2488
      @wittebruidsduivenschouwen-2488 6 місяців тому

      Which is of course a logical choice when you regularly drive off-road like you do. Your videos are great by the way. Keep it up 👌

    Great video! Did you change anything, like gopro settings or in post-production? The video look more cinematic for some reason. May be it's the intense sun we're not used to see :)

    • @TimFitzwater
      @TimFitzwater  6 місяців тому

      Thanks!
      Both - I do a certain style of color grading that works best when the sun is out. I subdue it in the grey weather as it comes out too dark. "Crushing the blacks" - as they say in the biz(making the darkest parts really dark). Really gives the cinematic look.
