Don't buy the electronic shifter hype. Just like disc brakes, everybody bought them so manufacturers went all in, and now sensible consumers like me can't find spare parts. Please don't do that to us with drivetrains.

All the very best to you Peter Perth western australia😊😊😊

❤❤❤❤❤

You are amazing Julie, getting back on the bike so soon and doing a Mike's not so fast 20mph !! Keep it up. Mike Di2 etc is ok if you always remember to charge the battery(s). I have been on a couple of rides and the riders batteries have died, a real faf getting home. Good old cable may be slower changing and no app to set up, but simple is good for me and I can fix when required (no servo motors or electronics to worry about)....

Thanks for the great ride. Mike some days the last five are sad because I want more and some days I am with julie! Cycling brings joy! Bunkie

Well done Mike and Julie. “It’s good for you”, said the trainer.

That was a strong yeee haaaaw. Ok I told Mike his bike color is expresso extravaganza what do we name your bike color?

Doing great Julie!❤

Once you go electronic shifting, you will never go back!

Fair play Wheeler’s Bostin ride and no bonking so Mike was right again julie eating breakfast makes a difference 😂if you only listened 3762 times ago Mike would not have to repeat himself Mike can’t say this though but I can as I’m three hours away by car but I’m still frightened 😂😂😂😂😂😂 PS. Looking good 👍

Thanks for taking us along on your “cracking day”!!

Ooh happy people don't you just luv em!.😂

It's good to see you both out again love the videos it must be amazing to live in sucha nice area .

Well done Julie, keep it up!

Great fun and big smiles.

That was a beautiful ride even if it was busy! You sound so much like your old self Julie! Keep on keeping on..! 🥰💯

Good to see you riding and sounding so happy and positive ❤

Fab to see you properly on your bike.... And Yee- Ha away!

Brilliant video, so good to see you both out together having a great time! ❤️ xx

Nice to see you on your bike ,on the road Julie ,Your looking and sounding great, lovely

Thank you John, it was the Charles Lane bit I didn't recognise as I always go straight on. Many thanks for the update. K

I'm no longer confident my comments make it through the youtube police state 🤔🤔🤔

You can't beat a bike ride where there's no agenda other than to enjoy the ride. :)

Nice ride

So I know your route immediately after the Cider pantry on the way into Ringwood and you obviously went straight over at the junction to go along to the left hand turn and avoid the steep snake through Burlet Street, but then where did you go after you had been through the traffic jam of horses that are often in that spot. You cross the little ford and come back up to the main road, did you then turn right up to Smugglers Lane or where/ Also, if you can get electronic shifting, it is fantastic in my opinion only of course. Thanks. K

Julie looking fantastic ! Mike , purchased a new Giant TCR last fall, chose the build with the mechanical 105, works flawlessly and great value, had the option to choose the electronic but felt in the long run just too many issues can arise, local bike shop agreed

Her howling is annoying. I don't know why, but it is keeping mostly away from this channel.

Looking good Julie, so good to see you on bike, and I’m definitely with you about the last 5mls of a ride. Mike Di2 is terrific, once you’ve used it you’ll not want to go back to mechanical

Great ride in the sunshine guys 🌞🚲 and good to see julie looking so well 👍🏻 and the lunch stop looked nice....keep peddling 😊

Mike, if you lob electronic shifting onto your bike I don't think even the most hardened of cycling purist would be surprised or upset. Now, if you were to bung an electric motor on it, or just buy an E-Bike 🧐😳 now that would be an entirely different matter! 🤣 Great ride you two!

Good to see you getting stronger and stronger Julie - well done 🎉 Go the wireless system - you truly won’t regret it.

That was a nice ride.....great vid. 'Ull' east yorkshire.

Nice ride and looks like a nice lunch. We had a Hillman Imp when I was kid, a long long time ago...

Looked like a pretty good ride. I hope you two made it back home before it started raining (if indeed it did rain). Julie, you seem to be doing great with your bike riding. 👍 just hold off doing any 100 mile rides for a bit. Oh, I really like those sunglasses you're wearing, very colorful. Mike, I ride over here in the States and we've got 'suicide squirrels' too. They run right out in front of me! 🙄😄 Thankfully I haven't hit one.....yet.

Always nice to have a bike ride and do a few chores. Not very often you see a Delorean out on the roads. Hope you are ok Julie, even if you didn’t want breakfast maybe pop a gel in your pocket, xx

You fuel your car rather than run out. As your mechanic, I refuel your airliner before your trips, for very good reasons. East often. Fuel that wonderful machine.

Great to see you back on the bike and making vids. Onwards and upwards upwards 👍

Lovely video! I used to live in Westbourne and used to walk along that path into town to work 🤗 A chocolate milkshake would be a good start to the day if you dont fancy food! 😀

well Mike, that cafe railway bridge, I knew exactly where that was, when I lived nearby in the 50's had to look up the street name of course [salterns] , but its amazing how ones memory can shoot back 60 years. Further down that road is Whitecliff shops, where one joins the Sandbanks Rd. take care guys.

Nice video doing errands. I wish Julie lots of fun with her new pasta maker and "play-doh" :D :D When I was a small kid back in late 80's my nanna used to have old fashion manual pasta maker. I will remember that thing forever :)

The Pires are sending love to Julie!! Thank you Mike for the update!

Bonking use to mean something quite different when I was much younger.

Nice to see you both out again.

Back oot on the bike, nice one👍 all the best during your recovery.🤞 Hope the pasta maker made it home in one piece 😂😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Good to have a Wheelers At Large on tour around town - love trying to recognise areas and roads. Looking forward to that holiday video - stay strong and keep going ❤

Great ride you two! Glad you're aback out doing what you can to get exercise and clear your head. Stay well and keep your strength up! 🥰💯

Great bicycle ride guys keep peddling 👍🏻🚲

Good to see you both looking very summery (although a little trouserless at times too by the sound of it 😲), even if the weather wasn't! I don't eat brekkie either Julie, and have paid the price a couple of times now. It's not ideal but all I want first thing is coffee to bump start the nervous system. Eating just doesn't happen for me first thing. Great stuff as usual you two!

Lovely to see you back out Julie. I can't do breakfast either but if I have to, to avoid a bonk I have a homemade green smoothie 😊

Shopping bike today. A bit puffed out there. Ah, carrying package in butchers basket. Not seen anyone cycle in pyjamas before. A bit of heavy breathing, take it steady and feel well, Julie.
