Back out on a FIXED bike: a festive ride

[@swoop1352]

Ya know, I am so glad I found this video. I've just spent half an hour on the A3 getting home and I'm utterly convinced my horn isn't loud enough cos it's had a lotta use tonight. I'm narked. In fact I'm right narked. There's been a fair amount of shouting to accompany the horn as well. People who drive on the white line so I can't get by.....people that change lanes out of the stationary lane into mine when I'm doing 40....people that leave a 400ft gap to the car in front but wont move over for a bike.....people who won't pull out from junctions unless there's a 400 yard gap in both directions.....people that drive at 29 in a 40 limit.....that used to be national speed limit..... And what do I find when I get home? Someone who loves biking so much nothing can dampen the enthusiasm. Yep. Be happy. I'm still home 45 minutes earlier than I would be in a car. Happy Friday everyone, even car drivers.

Glad my video could boost your mood 😊 there are those rides that feel like everything and everyone is out to get you... but then they're trapped in traffic jams and you can just (hopefully) sail past 😁

[@Cartsp70]

Yes 👍🏾 the A3 is an absolute fucking joke , any car drivers reading this….IF YOU’RE COMING OFF THE M25 junction….GET INTO THE LEFT LANE YOU COCKWOMBLES!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

The standard of driving has decreased since last Christmas, or winter time. Red light jumpers is a real concern lack of awareness/common curtsey. I think Uk needs to make everyone do the theory test every 5 years. Also CBT so people understand what biking is like. mobile phone use is my personnel hatred..

[@Snoiks]

But still carry on don't let the b@st@rds get you down. Ride safe!!

[@lone_bkr]

Respect for still being out riding! Even with a few layers yesterday I was a tad too cold (joys of a naked bike) haha Roll on tomorrow and the double digit temps and I'll be out for a cheeky blast down the backroads 🙃

[@TipToeBikers]

Yesss I hope I'll be able to get out in the sunshine over the weekend

[@MurffSurff]

I think your laugh is music to my ears

I've been riding since 1976 (a long time and in a lot of different countries). But back in the 1980's it wasn't uncommon to fit airhorns to the crash bars of our bikes to help the pitiful horns fitted. People certainly got your attention. Also fitted where additional lights to these bars. With LED's this would be like adding searchlights to a motorcycle on high beam at night. I've not noticed it done here in South Australia or back in Britain or Europe of late now.

Excellent content. Keep everything tiptop,a bigger bike won't be more enjoyable it's just different.

[@markscott5142]

[@paulrichards186]

Ella love what you’re doing. You’ve inspired an old fella to tinker with a modern bike. Very interested in your art. Do you have a website/link with other artwork? Love up and coming artists.

[@TipToeBikers]

Thank you! I'm new to posting about my art, I have a FB page here with some more photos of commissions I've done recently: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61564802397720 . If you're interested, send me a message through there or my etsy and I'll get back to you when I can 😊 I'm also hoping to work on some originals soon

[@0paa0paaa]

I wish i could ride m bike, i bought my first ever motorbike about a month ago and about a week ago it stopped working so i cant ride it atm. so sad

[@TipToeBikers]

Oh no 😥 hope you get it sorted!

[@0paa0paaa]

@TipToeBikers yeah hopefully it's sorted soon

[@Reaperbob974]

Have you not thought about put Christmas lights on your bike x

[@TipToeBikers]

That would be awesome but I have no idea if it's legal

[@Reaperbob974]

@TipToeBikers I do it every year, mind you I also take part in our local carnival with them, I haven't been pulled over yet x

[@theodavies8754]

There is nothing that says you can't. Some tinsel around the mirrors is enough for mine. Doesn't need to look like a carnival float, but I've thought about it.

[@davidhailstone1519]

Show more of yourself.

[@TipToeBikers]

I beg your pardon

[@davidhailstone1519]

@TipToeBikers HA,ha i meant talk to the camera more.
