Shenanigen's Two Wheels

I wanted to get my life together and start seeing the world, and what better way than to do this on a bike. I became obsessed. Also in London its one of the essential ways to travel if you can do it. I will be sharing various Sky Rides, Paths and other discoveries along the way via Photo and Video. Also posting and kind of bikes, accessories, or quirky things cycle. You can also check me out on twitter as well. Follow @TheDailySpanner

Today I did the longest bike ride in the South Downs. I did struggle with some hills at the end but all the more closer to getting ready for London to Brighton bike ride

Finally got an action camera for commute. Got tired of being yelled at by taxis and buses in London...and yes I follow rules of road and stop at every light. I'll post today's commute later to prove it 😉

Finally added my turn signal lights to grips. Will still use hand signals of course but just another visual as well

Nothing like first day back in London and I get rained on

We’ll have a bit of an #awkwardmoment when I was dropping my Ex off at work and have bike all folded up in car and because it’s a piece of shit I have to use a multi tool get seat to be tight enough…but left said multi tool at flat that’s now 30 minutes away…

I put the bike in car ready last night and put tool in jacket. This wouldn’t be an issue if I wore same jacket but I didn’t

So walked a mile (which I can do easily) to station with no coat ( had to hide bike in boot) so it’s freezing

But now I’m worried all day about car and feel like an idiot

Thank fuck it’s Friday and having a hot cocoa to warm up

Ugh I really wanna go on a #fatbike #bikepacking adventure and seeing this bad boy in #soho is not helping!

Ready for today's cold ride into work #UrbanCyclist #LondonCyclist #BabyItsColdOutside

Ugh that awkward moment when you forgot your wet cycle gear in another bag. Thank god for gym clothes to change into

Today I rode my new bike, Pinnacle Lithium 2 Hybrid, along the coast away and I have to say it was absolutely amazing It got a bit frustrating because you’re trying to give way to pedestrians but sometimes even that gets difficult But I had really forgotten how wonderful it felt riding a bike at top speed. It was a glorious sunny day, I could hear the seagulls calling amongst the cliffs, the waves crashing against the rocks and the sun against my face. For an hour I had really forgotten all of life’s worries. I haven’t felt that way and almost a year. In terms of the bike the trigger shifters are incredible no lag no jolts just smooth shifting something I really miss them with my folding bike Another thing I will continue to go on about is the weight of the bike the weight is incredibly light I’ve never had a bike that light before and really just zips down the coast Today my bike ride was just shy of 11 miles in one hour and five minutes not bad for not riding a long distance in almost 2 years

So excited for my new bike!!! It's so light compared to my other one. It's a Pinnacle Lithium 2 hybrid which has lots of potential to upgrade and adjust to my needs for bikepacking and sport events Now I'm off to give it a nice long test ride

[shenanigens-two-wheels]

Different option to consider

Some nice reading to get through the train strike

So I have started slowly gathering various things for my travels and adventures. Well if I want to do more bikepacking and things I need a tent. But I wanted something a little bigger where I could out the bike away securely while I was out doing other activities

Meet the Vango Ark 200+

It’s a bit heavier and longer than expected but I still think it will be fine on a bike rack
