Glad you enjoy the videos and that they inspire you to get out on the bike, that’s what it is all about. Thanks for watching!
Love that 15 miles stretch of towpath between Welshpool & Newtown, inspired me to do it on my unicycle

It was a pleasant surprise to find such a nice route along the canal there. I’d be worried about falling in the canal unicycling it though! Thanks for watching!
Brilliant. This was so interesting and thank you for some of the facts that you give throughout the video. It certainly is a great ride.

Thank you, I do like my Italian steed, even if it’s getting on a bit now. Thanks for watching!
I’ve been driving on that road many times and I never knew that there was a path good enough to ride on. Thanks I’ll certainly be adding to to my “to do list”

Your welcome, thanks for watching!
Another very interesting video, and another route for me to ride asap! It had occurred to me previously that a gravel bike would be ideal for your mixed terrain cycling. Go for it! You can never have roo many bikes.

You certainly can’t have too many bikes 🚲 thanks for watching!
Another great video. Just to think that most of those towpaths were more accessible for people using mobility aids and non-standard cycles a century ago ... when 2 fat boathorses could pass each other on it. I have to note that it is said "Shrosebury" 😉. These things matter !

Yes definitely a shame the route would be a struggle for anyone not on a standard bike. I’m definitely in the ‘shrew’ camp, but I certainly enjoy the debate. Thanks for watching!
I think the locals pronounce it “Shray-ward-dine”.

I thought my biggest problem was my Welsh place name pronunciation! Thanks for the clarification and thanks for watching!
You’re in the Uk shouldn’t those signs be posted in kilometres ?

Road signs in the UK are still all in miles, we have a strange mix of metric and imperial units across many areas still here, with younger generations using metric a little more I would say. Thanks for watching!
