Thank you for putting yourself through this discomfort to bring us these spectacular lights. It’s very much appreciated and well done for completing it in one go!👍🏼👏🏼👍🏼👏🏼👍🏼👏🏼
I used to live on the promenade and have now retired and moved away but my heart still is in Blackpool. That video allowed me to watch it as if I was still there.
Thanks for this Stephen !..... Very much appreciated as We can't make it this year & it's such a fantastic event. 🥴Your coverage of it makes up for Our disappointment though. 🤗..... Good Lad & well done ! 👍🚲😎
I think the lights are a bit different now but it's the sign of the times. I'm on the 6-30am train tomorrow so I'll get a chance to see the illuminations myself. Another great video
loads of bikes with no lights isn't there !!!, amazing illuminations, thanks for sharing , we came to Blackpool few days too early , I loved basil brush and sooty when we went on a full tram ride to Fleetwood ferry x
Well done Stephen and for braving the cold and wind 🥶 looked a good night and some were very colourful,I look forward to watching it every year thankyou.
Well done Stephen! Tour de France next! Thanks for doing this - there's no chance of me visiting Blackpool so I appreciate your effort. Stay safe - and best wishes from Wales.
Thanks so much Stephen for all your effort. Hard work and strength. A biking. Up and down gain. Appreciate how much effort and time is put into it all. Seemed a good turnout. I e never heard of believe it or not of. Ride the lights Blackpool. So was a first to watch for myself. Agains the bright lights of the tower enhanced all the illuminations. The illuminations were good. Loved the spitfires. Bet your had. Very sore. derrière !!!! Haha afterwards, joking apart. Have a well earned rest Stephen. Once again. Thoroughly enjoyed your video, Cannot wait for more and more ……. Takecare. Di xxx
Absolutely loved this video Stephen every one out on there bycicles looks super fun riding along really love the lights Blackpool really is a special place and I love it ❤
Thanks. Its great to see the full length. Ive always walked them so it takes much longer with the odd stop along the way and Fish and Chips at the end.
Went a couple of times in the late 60s to the laminations they were fabulous then. I do think they've lost their sparkled really itsquite a poor show compared yo those times. Well done sir for showing us the Illu.inations 2023.
@@kitfrew9983 I know, it's so slick now. They used to take my breath away years ago. Maybe we're so used to bright lights now. There was just an innocent joy about them back then.
Great video, Stephen. It always seems like we are there riding alongside or walking with you on a personalised tour. As informative and knowledgeable as always. Keep the videos comimg, thank you.
Great video Stephen maybe you should invest in one of those electric bikes for next year also be great for your Street tours again we really enjoy your videos. Thank you
Hello Stephen . Thank you very much for sharing your ride through the lights. You have done a great job riding against the wind and talking at the same time. I think you will be hungry now for some fish and chips. You were lucky with the weather. Enjoy your evening and I’ll see you in your next video ❤️❤️❤️👍❤️❤️❤️well done Stephen xxx
An arse on the sore side! Seriously though, you did so well Stephen. To ride both ways and produce such a high quality video, what a fantastic achievement. I'm so proud of you xxx
Great video Stephen looking forward to seeing them week of the 11 September gives you a flavour of them well done for riding in that wind and for getting to the end
Well done Stephen, not easy riding into the wind, commentating and filming. All that and watching out for other riders too! Might I suggest a long soak in a hot bath to help with the pain... Loved to see all the riders lit up bikes and families on the ride and those Spitfires are something else when lit up. Thanks again for the video Stephen.😊😊😊
Good evening how are you beautiful iumations and some new ones too it good that you are riding your bike through them best wishes take care stay safe xx ❤😅😅
Great job Stephen 👍 🚴 Thank you! if it wasn’t for you doing this how would we be able to see such a great event 😁 next stop for you is the Tour de France 😂😂😂 take care and Thank you so much again for bringing this to us loved it 👍❤️ until next time Pauline from Blackpool living in Canada 🍁
Hi Stephen thank you for another great video as always I was there omg absolutely amazing love the different types of bikes the penny farting was incredible and love the dodgems people went to a lot of effort well done Stephen have a great evening xx
Doesn't even seem 12 months since last uears vlog Stephen! I have to admit myself these lights arnt what they used to be.. by that I mean very much the same, same theme. Where as as a child there were magnificent hanging lights, mermaids, the Tiffany style lamps illuminations, even McDonald's had a sponsor one year I remember near the golden mile. Those were the best, happy memories or standing out the car sun roof waving the lights on.. ah those where the days ❤ Blackpool council or who ever runs these events get back to your roots and archives please 🙏
It's always great to see the illuminations. Thank you for sharing another great video. Wherw do you find out when you are able to ride the lights like you did?
Fair play cycling all that way. The lights have gone very poor compared to back in the day. Strange seeing sections with no lights and most sections are just a string of lights.
We were hoping to come up this weekend but the Imperial is fully booked, if you think those slopes are bad for cycling don't come to Wales. Be up in mid September now for the World Fireworks Championships that start on Saturday the 16th of September.
A ride on the wild side
Thank you for putting yourself through this discomfort to bring us these spectacular lights. It’s very much appreciated and well done for completing it in one go!👍🏼👏🏼👍🏼👏🏼👍🏼👏🏼

Thank you for posting this, as I love the lights, but with my declining health, its impossible for me to get up there and see them in person nowadays.
It's my pleasure to bring the experience to those who can't visit or take part.
Going to blackpool tomorrow and back home on Friday
Great video Stephen looking forward to seeing them week of the 11 September gives you a flavour of them well done for riding in that wind and for getting to the end

Great video…❤
Thanks Stephen. Think the lights don’t look too bad.
Well done Stephen great view of the lights great excercise for you 😂
It looks lovely and flat, ideal for cycling.
Thanks for the tour very much appreciated. Unfortunately 'the lights' aren't a patch on what I can remember from the 50s and 60s.
Not quite the same sparkle.

It's only once a year, but there may be a Xmas Ride the Lights.
Ok thanks
Fair play cycling all that way. The lights have gone very poor compared to back in the day. Strange seeing sections with no lights and most sections are just a string of lights.
Blimey it seems to get longer and longer that stretch. Perhaps its my age 🤔🤐😎Well done Stephen!
Glad when it was over lol 😂
Well done Stephen
I'm so sad that I can't be there. Maybe next year. And maybe on a bike too, when I find a place where I can rent one. Great video. I'm jealous.
Will you be doing ride the lights again this year?
I'm coming down from Scotland to do it for the first time on Tuesday
Yes, I think so.
You did brilliant there I hope you had a few pints after that.
Great job, i might do this next year in my electric wheelchair, do you think they would allow that
Yes, no problem Ian
We'll be there for the switch on if the tide is out We'll probably watch the the switch on from the beach
We were hoping to come up this weekend but the Imperial is fully booked, if you think those slopes are bad for cycling don't come to Wales. Be up in mid September now for the World Fireworks Championships that start on Saturday the 16th of September.
Love the daleks and tardis
