Bike ride to and around the Isle of Wight


The week before Easter 2015 I´ve spent 3 days riding to and around the Isle of Wight. These are the posts of my experience:

  1. 30/Mar/2015: Ride to Ryde (from my home to the city of Ryde in the island)
  2. 01/Apr/2015: From Ryde to Ventnor over the Needles Park (Gun batteries)
  3. 02/Apr/2015: From Ventnor back to Ryde and with the Hovercraft back to Portsmouth.

Still learning how to use WordPress. I think this is the best method to collate them together. If anyone has a better solution, I am all hears.

Hope this is useful to someone. Thank you for your visit!

Riding around Bracknell on a Recumbent Bike.


Right then… created this video as a request from a family member who, after watching my previous video (with the camera mounted on the bike itself) asked me if I could produce a video of me riding it.

Keeping in mind we are all amateurs here, OK. Don´t go expecting Hollywood style production. Having said that, I think my friend Gyuszi did a rather good job with the camera. Thank you Gyuszi!

Here it is Rafa!

Few comments… after seeing me from an “outside” perspective, I noticed that I appeared to be too “cramped” in the bike. Believe me, that is not how it feels at all. Nevertheless, I noticed also a few improvements I can do, which I think will make the ride even more comfortable, such as reducing the size of the steering bar and trying somehow to change the position to a less reclined one. Not sure yet if this is possible at all on this bike, but I´ve managed to gain about 3 cm in hight just by pumping more air into the suspension.

Hope it can be useful to others as well. Thanks for watching!
