[@russswanson3820]

Hey Ryan! Looking forward to seeing you back in the water and back in the saddle! Good advice at the 08:00 mark...

[@TheCheagle30]

Whelp, once again one of my favorite channels for sooo many relatable reasons! Bikes, surfing, and shoulder injuries. I had a shoulder injury a while back. PT is all that helped. Couldn’t surf for a long time. When I was a kid boogie boards were sac religious at San O. Even at the trails. Pretty much only allowed at the pier , T Street, Riviera, and State Park. Times have changed. Also, you’re right, all those trestles dudes are on E-Bikes.

[@radbikeadventure]

Ha nice! I don't think i'd hit Trails with a boogie on the weekend but the weekday crowd seems pretty chill. or i'll find out soon enough haha! But San O? no way...longboarders only! You still surf these parts? I do prefer surfing, just thought maaaaaybe I could kickboard it out there. Ah well, from all the advice i've been getting here it sounds like i need to get my ass in PT asap

[@kyleyouden9388]

Just order my stickers !!!!! I got one for my moms bike too, she has balance issues and rides an adult tricycle ........but she’s still riding!!!🚴🏻‍♂️. I was in a really bad parachuting accident several years ago and injured my shoulder. I caught a huge gust just before landing and landed in a drainage ditch full of coconut sized rocks. My therapist made me do exercises with the big rubber bands, that worked. Also she used the “ ultra sonic??” machine on my shoulder, I thought it was snake oil at first but it did help. I did a bunch of pool exercises too (foam weights) took about 6-9 months then I was jumping again 🪂 Love the channel, love surfing, love California , love In and Out Burger and all things cycling!!!! Love , peace and burger grease ladies!! 📺🚵🏻‍♂️🍔🏄🏻‍♂️✌️

[@sagehiker]

Love the ”Bike there” vibe.

[@beverleygibson1394]

I agree about injury. It is very frustrating but if you can get out and do an activity safely for a small amount of time it does help with recovery. Stickers a great!!

[@sheilastallard]

I had my hip replaced 21 years ago. Back then cycling was a no go but now...........loving the cycling! but.....Hubby had a stroke 10 years ago and he is still in pain on his left side but he still comes back after 35 miles on his Brompton with a smile on his face!!. Keep Safe, Keep Surfing and keep these excellent videos coming ! Love from England xx

[@radbikeadventure]

Thank you for sharing Sheila and so happy you both are able to get out on the bike! Amazing!

[@christophersmith7703]

Injuries are depressing. Take it easy and don't try to tough it out.

[@radbikeadventure]

Indeed. Good advice tho...I'm definitely one for trying to ignore the pain

[@ttlwmm3820]

Bummer about the shoulder injury, Ryan! I know it can be frustrating as it keeps you away from your fun activities. A kid ran into me while riding on the bike path on January 1st and I am still doing OT for the tendon injury in my hand. Thankfully, I can still ride and will be taking my OT restriction splints with me when my husband and I leave on our bike tour in 2 weeks. Don't delay and get into some PT! It is worth it in the end! (Enough mothering now!) Also, cool new stickers! Love the great news & videos. We will be watching your videos from the road!

[@radbikeadventure]

ahhh i know, i need to get it checked out. Been trying to do PT on my own (Darin has much knowledge in the area) but i think I need an MRI as it's not improving. Gotta be patient but I kinda suck at that! Glad you like the stickers (hope you got some 😀🤘) Have an amazing time on your tour and careful w the hands!

[@dianatheriault2913]

I was riding my gravel bike. Came to this descent and I took a moment to think about it but didn't think as careful as I should. Slid out. Landed on my left shoulder. Though I broke the collar bone. But was able to use my left arm so rode home. Severe strain and can't do much weight bearing or lifting with that arm. Ugh! I understand ... heal fast :D

[@radbikeadventure]

Ugh noooo. So sorry to hear this! Looks like we'll both be on our healing journeys. Did you get it checked out? Hopefully just a bone bruise

[@paulsmarino]

Love the new stickers. I've dealt with bad hips, a foot problem, and now sciatica for the last 2 years. I'm a fan of good PTs and especially talking through with them what activities I CAN still do while treating the issue. Then I try to stay curious/stay focused on those. Hang in there. Happy Pride!

[@radbikeadventure]

Thanks Paul. That's good advice. I'm going to have someone take a look, get xrays etc. Sick of it not healing but I know it takes time. ✨🌈✨

[@dpell3543]

Diggin the stickers! Take care of that shoulder.

[@Eric_Tennant]

Ever rode from LA to Phoenix? Just got done publishing my 400 miles tour of Arizona on KZbin. I been thinking about doing Phoenix to LA back to Phoenix. Think I may have to use a normal bike because I don't see hotels in the right locations. Basically with electric I need a recharge about every 100 - 140 miles.

[@radbikeadventure]

I haven't! But we have been talking about riding Adventure Cycling's Southern Tier route for a while now.

[@erina5543]

I’ve had many injuries and feel your frustration / depression. From a bad sprained ankle, to knee surgery, dislocating my shoulder 1,000,000 times, all the way to a brain tumor and surgery! It can be so difficult when it prevents you from doing the things that bring you joy. Take it slow and give yourself some love! Everything is temporary...even when it feels permanent, there are always subtle changes each day. May you heal quickly and with relative ease 🙌🏼

[@radbikeadventure]

Wow Erin, you have been through A LOT. Thank you for the encouragement. Tis true, this too shall pass and I gotta just come out stronger!

[@tammygrant9868]

My wife and I can’t wait to get those new stickers on our bikes!🤘🏻😎

[@radbikeadventure]

Yeeee!!! 🤩

[@tammygrant9868]

@@radbikeadventure Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈 great idea with the stickers. This has prompted my wife to do the same thing this month for our local lgbtq+ coalition.

[@karlmouck4878]

Can you tell me what shifters and brake levers you're running on that bike? I'm toying with the idea of ditching my brifters and converting to bar end shifters. I used to run bar end shifters years ago but for some unknown reason I stopped using them?

[@radbikeadventure]

Hey Karl! Sure! The Trek 520 came with these stock and we've noticed they are quite a popular choice for bar end shifters (we love em): amzn.to/3w1cM58

[@WheelsonaBike]

Happy Pride! Thanks for the video and sorry to hear about your shoulder injury. I hope it resolves soon. I am working through a pesky IT band issues that started on my last tour. Very annoying and sometimes disheartening as I can do what I love - bike!

[@garen3772]

Go to physical therapist and rest you need to let it heal or you’re just gonna keep re-injuring it. And I know boogie boarding is fun but wasn’t a good idea take it from a water person. Love the stickers

[@radbikeadventure]

Was totally not a good idea. I hate sitting still but I need to rest it and consistently do my PT routine . It’s tough!

[@jaydavee]

Have a look at the videos from The Malibu Artist. It's drone footage of white sharks near swimmers & boarders all year.

[@radbikeadventure]

Ohh nooo, don't think I want to see that!

[@dfglandon]

Sweet stickers! So I’m thinking about the trailer so I can use it for groceries or hauling photo equipment on long trips. My question is how do you lock up the bike and the trailer?

[@radbikeadventure]

Nice! Yes, it's GREAT as a gear hauler. Also really good question. A great option is to run a cable with a u-lock. So I make sure the u-lock is thru the bike frame (and whatever you are locking it to) and then the cable goes through the bar of the trailer. The last time I disconnected the trailer (pretty easy to do ) and put it next to the bike to help it stand up, and that way it was very easy to lock them both together and keep it a little more compact. This is the cable I use: amzn.to/3phodDj

[@dfglandon]

@@radbikeadventure thanks for the info I appreciate it!!

[@johnwelch557]

I understand the downer of injuries. They can take forever to heal. I ruined my right foot with clipless pedals by riding them for decades. Had surgery in November, in a wheel chair for 15 weeks. Still have constant pain, refuse to take opiods the docs say I should do. Still can't ride or walk far. Jeezy..... maybe I'll be around long enough to feel good again. I know you'll be fine. Your young and in shape. Just stop the shot put conpetition! 🤪 Thanks!!!

Hey guys thanks agaun for the video. Hey just ordered a shirt but cant find any place where the stickers are. Was wondering how to get stickers ? Thanks Lyle

Thank you, I have received my stickers. Happy to support the LGBTQ+ community :)

[@SkycladWanderer]

That boogie board "yay" reminded me of listening to dark secret place on kfi am640. Best geopolitical talk there is. Also nuclear power is clean. ;) Clean as you can get. Till you Fukushima or Chernobyl..... worth it imo.

[@rbranch234]

Yo, just what I was waiting for. So cool. Thanks

[@geezers10]

Hit by a car on my right shoulder..... PT, strength training, time.....

[@radbikeadventure]

SAME. Definitely and underlying issue with this current injury. Someone pulled right in front of me (left turn) and I slammed into them and it jarred my right shoulder bad. Plus, other sports injuries...it's just had enough lol
