A FEW DAYS OF EXPLORING PERTH

In this episode, I managed to cycle around Perth for a few days on the pretext of visiting my girlfriend Belle, checking out some of the routes and cafes along the way. I absolutely enjoyed the bike paths - they were smooth, continuous and quiet. One good climbing day wrapped up a memorable trip.
Check out the routes I did:
Day 1: / strava
Day 2: / strava

I am a Perth resident. Your video got me motivated and revealed the hidden gem in my own city. Besides the trails, the weather now in Spring is perfect to get on the bike. It's time for me to dust off my old bike, oil the gears and get on the trail and get active again. Cheers mate !

[@hemiroar3993]

Welcome to our great city of Perth Western Australia my home. This is an awsome video of Perth and it's cycle paths, I ride these paths and you can go anywhere in Perth by following them and safely. Well done I'm glad you liked Perth.

[@thewinsty]

Fortunate guys. The paths definitely amazed me!

[@jacobgundill7969]

They are working on improving the bike path so you can ride from Joondalup to Mandurah without stopping. To be complete next year. I love that my city has become the most bike friendly in Australia!

[@patrickparisienne1917]

Glad to see you riding Downunder! All our cities have great cycling destinations and routes! If you like climbing, Melbourne has you covered!

[@VincentForDesign]

I'm going to Perth end of the year, after some research, I will most probably rent the same bike you rode! Now I'm back here to 'steal' the routes!

[@thewinsty]

Please go ahead! Have a good one :)

[@peterjansen7854]

Good promotion for Perth ,thanks🙋‍♂️

[@abbasimran328]

winston i love your vid thanks for the good feel vibes you give

[@thewinsty]

You’re welcome, will keep them coming 😉

[@VeloGrapher]

Hey :) welcome to WA! If you’re ever back here, holler and we’ll take you around!

[@alexkeng67]

Dank... this is nice man.. On a side note, knowing ure a doc, i began to have more appreciation and admiration for cyclists whom are medically trained as i got rendered assistance by a doc (Dr Wee, if you see this, thank you v much) when i had a hard fall and that broke my clavicle. Anyway, u ride safe too and looking fwd to your episodes!

[@thewinsty]

Thanks! Hahaha I hope I’ll never have to use my training on the roads

[@andrew097]

That was a very good reason to visit Perth. Rolling along a endless road and reasonable surface is a real pleasure . I did a 200 K Audax at the weekend I cannot remember if I hit a red light. Just pushing the gears all day

[@thewinsty]

Smooth and flowy all day

[@allencameron2619]

DUDE I WAS STARTING TO WORRY ABOUT YOU !!!!!!! it’s been a while since last video 😭😭😭 Man you have picked a great place to go for a little cycling vacation, I have heard nothing but great things about Australia 🇦🇺 and Perth, the Community for cycling is huge down there, fantastic roads, loops, climbs, great coffee shops and can’t forget bike shops too. I have never been myself but would LOVE TOO GO!!!! if I had the chance. As always my friend I’m always going to comment something 😁 LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!! Keep up the good work Cheers Cam Allen 😁

[@thewinsty]

Hahaha I have been drowning in my other life commitments. But I’m not ready to stop anytime soon! Thanks Cam

[@kenchristie9214]

If you get tired you can take your bike onto the trains. Bikes are not permitted on train services travelling towards Perth city between the hours of 7.00am and 9.00am. Bikes are not permitted on train services travelling away from Perth city between the hours of 4.30pm and 6.30pm.

[@kubrabenelli9117]

Like you talked about and mentioned in the comments, great bike infrastructure. Visited Aus over 20 years ago i think i saw one bike lane.

[@billyneo3239]

"he always comes earlier than expected" lol... I like that one... But I thought this episode is really nice, and love it very much. Had always been enjoying watching your videos. Keep them coming

[@thewinsty]

😉

[@photohq2872]

My home town. Great vid as usual. 👍🏻

[@andrewblake2254]

I ride much of that a few times per week. i do very few k's on roads and where I do it feels quiet and safe. We also average 10 hours sunshine per day over the year.

[@DeclanMurphyDM]

Glad you enjoyed the ride. You two look so cute together. It's weird seeing places I know and ride in a video on KZbin.

[@devo211]

yay! my hometown !

[@rossc3447]

Good hang bro !

[@bwidio]

Looks like you were on the mt henry bridge bike path that goes all the way to mandurah - 74 km one way of dedicated bike path One of the joys is night cycling - try riverside drive south perth optus stadium - very scenic 😊

[@thewinsty]

Good to know for next time 👌🏻

[@jasonng8143]

International! Brilliant video as usual!

[@DarylSeanChan]

Woah!!!! Such amazing roads and scenery! Much jealous 😳👍🏻👍🏻

[@thewinsty]

Coming from you

[@adventurelover3137]

Epic video 😊

[@sabaffira]

Flat is good. Beautiful city to ride in

[@syazwanabdull4835]

Lovely video new subscriber here from Malaysia

[@samtan6966]

No wonder so long since your last vid.. have fun & ride safe bro.. 😁👍🏼🙏

[@thewinsty]

Haha trying my best to work on my videos faster 😬

[@samtan6966]

.. & I forgot to add.. I just love the blue sky 💙 .. enjoy & have fun. 👍🏼🚴‍♂️

[@marcustan5868]

Very cool video.👍

[@PlattyNumm]

on the bicycle only 😂😂😂😂

[@kevmatt8450]

Ever come across a guy on an esky and electric scooter?

[@darylchin4675]

Good video as usual!

[@thewinsty]

Thanks Daryl!

[@nickobec]

Glad you enjoyed yourself in my home town. Made the right choice to go south on the bike path next to the Freeway, 75km uninterrupted. I live halfway down so good for training rides/commute. North is challenging.

[@nickobec]

ps if you want to do climbing in the city. Kings Parks has some nice loops. Not a lot of car traffic, quite a few riders getting the workouts in before work.

[@thewinsty]

That uninterrupted bike path was really so good! Still can’t stop thinking about it until this day. I shall try the entire length of it next time I’m around 😄

[@nickobec]

@@thewinsty if you do the uninterrupted bike path ride in summer, you will need to know the water stops are, ie the train stations (also good bail out points), also good coffee stop opposite Cockburn Central station, the bike/coffee shop 1km from the Safety Bay Road intersection (the BikePlace) , the Parklands cemetery (Southern most water stop), also were you can jump in the river cool off (if you do it in 38C like me). If you do turn up in Perth in summer, I will try and convince you to try racing (free race licence just need to pay entry fees), criteriums every Sunday and every second Tuesday evening and time trials in Kings Park every second Tuesday morning. Unfortunately the only oldhambreakfastcc breakfast place I know, Jom Kopitiam in Northbridge is open Thursday through to Monday.

[@AggroEntro]

11:05 🤣🤣🤣

[@steven.t27]

Hit me up when you come over next time!

[@iheartmissyhiggins01]

Are you going to put your ride up on Strava? 😎

[@thewinsty]

It is in the description

[@zhenyayang4954]

Next time try Blacklist Coffee in Subiaco (cyclist friendly) you wont regret it

[@gt5087]

rental seems quite exp from livelo...

[@thewinsty]

Hard to find a better deal elsewhere either though 🙁

[@hairy8pe]

Another sorlid video 🚴🏻🚴🏻‍♂️🚵🏻‍♂️

[@thewinsty]

Thanks Kolo 😄

[@randelscyclevlogperthwa7342]

Name me a better city to cycle around unrestricted, enjoy

[@edychandra5965]

[@thewinsty]

About $240 USD for 4 days

[@edychandra5965]

@@thewinsty it's mean $60 USD a day for rent...... is a good time cycling in out of country...... i hope can do someday

[@Oakpathetics]

Welcome to Aus! Any plans to come to Brisbane? There’s some great rides here :)

[@thewinsty]

Maybe next time!

[@Torquey_Isz]

Looks hot. What’s the temperature and humidity there bro?

[@thewinsty]

It was around 16-18 when I was there, but somehow colder than it would seem

[@SnowofLight]

It's not humid at all, unless it's just about to rain

[@Snailchesster]

The handlebars look too narrow for you 😂

[@thewinsty]

Hahahaha I felt so too!

[@robcroft7704]

If I run under 100psi I find I get punctures more...

[@SocialMeh]

Bro she wants your coffee

[@thewinsty]

Both things start with C

[@pooman4185]
