The Bike Shed and Bolt Motorcycles London | Two of the Coolest Biker Hangouts in London!

[@denwoz7788]

Europe has such a great biker vibe. So much bigger/better than we have in the US. At least for me, I identify so much more with you (Freddie) than I do with the typical biker here in the US which seems to be a “Harley” guy or the “sport bike” guy. Love the triumph love the gear love your adventures! Really enjoy your channel. Cheers 😀

[@apexxxx10]

Thanks Freddie. Outstanding video! Greetings from Thailand. “Tropical Bikers Paradise” with infrastructure. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYPUh5p9pNKIbac. On the Eastern Seaboard of Thailand, Sattahip district not far from PATTAYA Town we have The BIKERS CAFE. Perfect for a day trip Bangkok-Sattahip.

[@joelarson1733]

For real. Unfortunately in my area half the bikers are tweakers, and they are all obsessed with being in 1% clubs. There really isn't a fun or friendly motorcycle community here.

[@Theophilus1968]

Wow! Fun filled biker day with your beautiful lady. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@jasonadams5187]

Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thanks Freddie and Monica

[@woodrowclose]

Just got back into biking after a 15 year break. These videos are just great.

[@GPgundude]

Great Video! I’d like to live next door to the Bike Shed!! Thanks for Sharing!!

[@LionTheHeart]

Love your genuine enthusiasm! Great video! Cheers Freddie

[@johntaylor2441]

Thanks for a peek at UK bike culture. Looks like a great time! Cheers from the USA!

[@andrewkitchenuk]

Trust me, this isn't UK biking culture. 😂

[@bloodyknuckles9181]

@Andrew Green Middle class bike culture maybe 😂

[@eclipsegfxable]

This ain't the norm here, this is a lot more of a hipster vibe.

[@GTMarmot]

This isn't UK bike culture.

[@simiangimp2282]

This is poshies pretending to be bike culture.

I press the like button before I watch Freddie, keep it up!

[@aeror115]

Amazing place thanks for sharing this adventure

[@JUFFAIR101]

Bike shed is on my list when I visit London next summer + shipping my bike with me . Thanks for the Vlog I enjoyed it 👍🏼

[@debenhamdave4314]

Only recently discovered your awesome channel as the Suffolk connections, however I grew up to the East of London and worked adjacent to Old Street/ Shoreditch bike shed for 25 years, great to see these two locations thriving although if I visited not sure my Ducati or Mt10 fits the vibe lol, cheers Freddie and Monica

[@FreddieDobbs]

Thanks for the support Dave! They're very cool bits of London and actually Bike Shed is very one to all bikes- sports bikes are fairly common (especially on MotoGP days)🙂

[@hunterplax7081]

They’re opening a Bike Shed in Los Angeles 10 minutes from me and I couldn’t be more excited

[@racheltaylor6578]

Watched a video of the launch.It looks amazing.

[@peterhollis8291]

Great Vlog again Freddie, we were at the Bike Shed last week when the GP was on, the place was packed but we still managed to park and get a seat. I for one was very impressed with the service, food and atmosphere created by the staff. I used to hang around this area when I was a kid and when a teenager spent many a night in the Pubs just outside the Bike Shed, pulled over a few times for speeding on my first Bikes back in 77-78. The Coppers in those days just gave you a talking to and then chatted about your Bike for a while before letting you go, no speed cameras then to worry about!

[@FreddieDobbs]

I've heard it's got a fantastic atmosphere on GP days! And what a brilliant insight of 1970s London- thank you!🙂

[@HayBurrews946]

Cool video, i enjoyed every moment of it. Thank you for the ride

[@williamhyland4253]

I wrote a comment on the site where I bought you a coffee asking you to do a video about bike shed. I had no idea you already did. Thanks for this video.

[@grahamtricker4103]

The bike in the Bike Shed was a Kawasaki W800. Great video! 👍

[@Glasshousebc]

Superb… loved the look and contrasting styles of both.

[@joalvarez6252]

Awesome video man! Cheers from Texas! I imagine y'all have some old skool dive bars out there! Or as y'all call them pubs! Keep the wheels turning and the beavers grinning 😀!

[@uncleconconz894]

Fantastic vlog as always man . Big fan of your reviews !

[@Brian-tb1zs]

Love the bike shed modified Enfield interceptor, as well as all the various bikes shown. I’d like to slowly motor my Speedmaster through the dining area ! Side note, your “clean” Bonneville is a great looking bike, now that it can be seen from under the dust and dirt 🤩👍😎! Regards to Monica, Great channel ⭐️

[@juanpedroroig8988]

Love your vlogs, I saw a video by casualty and loved it. Now I'm following your videos. They are really good. Wish there is a bike shed here in Majorca, love it. Follower from Majorca with a BMW K75 ✌✌✌

[@timgranthunnisett380]

Seriously, cannot wait to try out the bike shed! Love your stuff Freddie, Monica 👌 please tell us you will be carrying on when you sadly leave us 🙌🤞

[@michaelstannard1900]

Yet again, Monika, Great soundtrack!

[@ianbaines9705]

Oh blimey - the ‘proper’ leather biker jacket. That was me in the 90’s - Rockabilly Cool.

[@whatsstefon]

8:26 may be a Kawasaki W650 Thank you for sharing this. I wish I had something like this near me.

[@A_Ride_To]

I think it is the W800 because it’s missing the Kickstarter 👍 Kawasaki did good not to give up on the W. A simple, but definitely beautiful piece of machine.

[@markb3180]

You'll miss the bike shed and bolt when you leave for Tenerife, looks a great place thanks for sharing.

[@FreddieDobbs]

Ahhh you're right Mark- the UK has an incredible biking culture!

[@Hondadctrider]

But just remember, when you're enjoying the sunshine in December it'll be cold wet & miserable her in GB. I'll take great biking weather anyday.

[@rideoutlondon]

Got my birthday at the bike shed next week I can’t wait!! Definitely going to check out Bolt that place looks lovely for a coffee.

[@ethan073]

Sounds like a fun time!! Happy bday

[@FreddieDobbs]

Have a great bday- no better place to spend it!🙂

[@stevewaldeck5044]

That’s one of the coolest videos you’ve made and a real inspiration to get out there get some fresh air adrenaline ride the bike and have a burger! thanks bro, stay cool looking & forward to the next one.

[@FreddieDobbs]

Thanks very much Steve!:)

[@ronniemills6294]

Excellent can’t wait to go visit both

[@Tvaz1]

The Bike Shed is a great place! I’ve been there in 2016.👊🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@699669king]

That was epically cool !! I tip my hat, Freddie and Monica!

[@garryclarke-kray4071]

Defo on my list to visit , thanks for giving me a taster of both places

[@alexsalapan6329]

I recognized this spot from a youtube channel "Bike shed". Great spot.. 👍👍👍

[@jmagda41]

I went to The Bike Shed a couple of weeks ago. Heaven! The coolest, cleanest, friendliest place you could imagine. The arch garage with the bikes was so cool to be in, wanted a shave but you have to book in advance, and had a couple of pints, burger and fries (the fries were perfect, BTW, needing no ketchup or anything) served up by the CUTEST little blonde waitress ever. Can't recommend this place enough.

[@Goody4376]

Two great venues, and hey even my Ducati in the video to boot!

[@paulyflyer8154]

I loved that long pause when you saw the price on that leather jacket 😂

[@2WheelTrev]

Nice video bud will certainly be checking those places out when I get a chance

[@glasgowharleyrider]

Was down in the shed last Saturday from Glasgow, always love it . Bolt on list for next time 👊🏻

[@FreddieDobbs]

What a ride; Glasgow to London- brilliant!!

[@paultomlinson3436]

Superb place just a great hang out

[@henrysmith5604]

Brilliant video thanks! 😊👍🏍

[@revjimmyjam3611]

Another insta-like video from Freddie and Monika. Lovin' it while sipping coffee.

[@vicorrosiv]

The Royal Enfield interceptor Collab with Bike Shed is Dope AF! Super underrated, these Bikes!

[@martinlegrice1414]

Two great places to hang out for bikers! Thanks for sharing Freddy! Wonderful surprise for me yesterday. My 2022 Triumph Speed Twin was delivered yesterday 2 weeks ahead of schedule. So excited!

[@FreddieDobbs]

No way- that is a rare thing to get a bike ahead of schedule in today's climate! Congratulations on the new machine!:)

[@brianmays1731]

Don't know if I will be buying a new car or bike in the future with the mandatory speed limiter built in from 22

[@FreddieDobbs]

@@brianmays1731 Agreed!

[@Rob-on5tz]

Great content, happened upon your channel through the you tube analytics, I'm usually floating between The Missenden Flyer, Teapot One and Itchy Boots, so this is a pleasant surprise. A new sub right here.

[@FreddieDobbs]

Thanks very much Rob!

[@Woopy11]

Very nice. Cool place cool attire cool attitude.

[@nicksepisode]

I enjoyed the video, it was a lovely start to a wet Sunday morning ! I have been following you for a while and your content is right up there, keep it up and soon you'll be hitting a 100k sub milestone ! 👌

Thanks!:)

Entertianing as always! Respect from South Africa.

[@FreddieDobbs]

Thanks Marcus!

[@OllieAlston]

Yehh as an ex-pat I enjoyed my ride through bits of ye "olde smoke" as you mentioned many do Freddie, and you're right. I forgot how tight a squeeze it is passing cars stopped at lights etc, almost made the hairs on my arms stand and I wasn't on the bike. I hope you and your woman keep up the good work Freddie and keep the shinny side up 😎

[@rolugo5162]

Hi, I discovered your channel by accident. I've become a real fan now. Your videos are great and i'm happy about new videos from you every week. I also drive a motorcycle myself, a Royal Enfield Meteor. Your motorcycle trips inspire and show how beautiful England is. Drive safely and Greetings from Germany ps: sorry for my bad english 😉

[@FreddieDobbs]

Guten tag! Great to have a watcher in Germany🙂. I'm hoping to try a Meteor soon- they look brilliant!

[@Steven-Brooks]

Been to bike shed recently after seeing it on one of your videos and is definitely everything you said it is. I could sit in the courtyard for hours watching the bikes roll past. Bolt is now on my to do list! Cheers Freddie! 👍

[@FreddieDobbs]

Thank you!🙂

[@carlosdsalas]

GREAT VIDEO as always!!

[@russelllocke7180]

Cool, I was lucky enough to stumble across the Bike Shed on a visit from Oz 🦘 back in 2018. Had an afternoon browse & returned to soak up a bit more atmosphere for dinner. Should have spent up on some of the gear, quality & not always accessible where I am now. Enjoyed your vid cheers. 👍🏍🇦🇺

[@racheltaylor6578]

I think they want to open a branch in Australia in the future.

[@RadioIlluminaticom]

I got my moped, because I was sold on the food app side hustle by London eats. A moped is the gateway "bike" to a real bike. I really love the smell of gasolin, hanging out on the gasstation, and the freedom feeling when I'm cruising. It gives me true happiness all though it feels too slow on the road.

[@chrisgibson1592]

Love the Bike shed, been a couple of times(live up north, so a bit of a ride) on one occasion was lucky enough to chat with Charlie Boorman, top bloke. 👍

[@Plumbermark]

Yea I might pop in, didn't know about this place although I know the Bikeshed quite well.

[@PrateekMishra1]

glad to have come across this video.

[@md2528]

Great stuff, love it. Wonder how many more Bolts there are in London- must be a few! 👍😎

[@FreddieDobbs]

Thanks! Just one Bolt, but you have to be specific with the google search; "Bolt Motorcycles London", otherwise quite a few things come up!🙂

[@kebmel8668]

Loved this, cheers from NZ

[@allsearpw3829]

HI , Yes . Ride up from Bournemouth , no M3 , AS NOT BUILT . start at the Ace of spades around the North circular to Walthamstow . Bolt must be as old the bag shop at Smithfield , two very different styles and nice to see . A micro climate of history . Bike shed at tobacco wharf ,must have been the Fort Knox of London in it,s day . Another great video and glad to see Monika , with her new , boots , hop skip and jump . Take care and ride safe .

[@FreddieDobbs]

Thank you! So true; Tobacco Wharf is a fortress of a building!

Such an awesome bloke, love from Indonesia❤

[@rickparkinmoto]

Very cool places. On my 'to do' list next time I'm down south.

[@nicensleazy1892]

After many years away from motorcycling , I just bought a bike. I managed to get my hands on a mint Ducati 749 R . Think I might take a trip up to this place :-)

[@Shinysideup]

The bike was a Kawasaki W650 or 800, great content Freddie.

[@FreddieDobbs]

Thanks Ian!

[@roverchap]

W800, no kickstarter.

[@MauriceTarantulas]

Pretty cool place to visit! I'll give myself at least a few months before venturing into London, although might have to flirt with the outskirts when I buy my first bike!

[@stewartmoore5158]

Loving the vibe of these videos. I keep window shopping for Triumph Bonnevilles. Also, have you thought about flipping the image when you film on the selfie camera? As it's all reversed when you upload!

[@FreddieDobbs]

Thank you Stewart, I had no idea about this image flipping and will tell Monika now🙂

[@rob2475]

Another winner for me. Great to go along with you to two places I’d love to visit some day.

[@mjerse50]

Monica and Freddie is a inspiration where ever they take as I am inspired by yes Monica and Freddie let’s go 🏍🍷🌈

[@garmit61]

Pretty cool that you got some vintage hawkwind over the airwaves at bolt too. I have a friend with a very nice old black triumph trident 1200 and a baby yellow 750 triple too. Still going strong too

Hi Freddie! Greetings from Greece! Love your channel! I had a Honda Rebel 1996 which I sold, regrettably...I now ride a Honda NC750X DCT which I absolutely love! I wish I had a Bonneville as a second bike. Actually, I was about to get one a few years ago. Awesome bike! Ride safe and always have fun!!! 👍

Shame there's not a Bike Shed more central in the UK. Great video Freddie, keep up the good work!

I did hear somewhere that another UK venue may be in the back of their minds🤞🤞

[@sparkycasegbr]

The Bike shed is a great place, great atmosphere and great food. If no-one has been before, it is definitely recommended. Just be careful in that this will fall inside the ULEZ zone after October 2021, meaning it'll cost you to go there. Also, on a slightly different note, the Blackheath Tea Hut is back. Have you ever been there Freddie?

[@FreddieDobbs]

I'm so happy the Tea Hut's back- I had no idea! Thanks:)

[@sparkycasegbr]

@@FreddieDobbs It is indeed. Had a ride there and a burger yesterday. Lots of people were hitting their horns while driving past. It has been hugely missed.

Is that hawkwind playing 🤔....bolt looked amazing some of the gear very nice..just a nice coffee chat hangout lucky Londoners 👍..that Triton jkt looked GRT on that kid buy it mate👍..bike shed is so chic again amazing place to spend time the clothing section just GRT and the Ducati reminded me of one I spotted moons ago in the early eighties in Chester but that one was red and gold I was probably about 10 and I just loved Ducati and Moto guzzi having been to the TT since I was 7 I'd seen some amazing bikes..London just has choice wether it's grease and patchouli place to hang out or chic and good food it's choice..watch the rest of the vlog 🤗... anyone tell what the 1st of two bikes are at 16.07 watching on me phone 🧐..
