Those pictures are funny, you were literally the third wheel!

Get home from work, cook dinner and watch a new Ed Pratt video? Can somebody remind me what year it is again?! Glad to see you again, friend.

Having raced a tandem back in the 1980s, I'd recommend the starting method your friends use. The stoker can give full power to get you under way leaving the pilot to concentrate on steering a straight course - and in our case getting feet into toeclips. 👍

You're voice is so well suited for narrating!

I've followed you ( ed) from the start of your Uni world tour to this two up tour . In between I've logged thousands of miles bicycling and now that I've been forced to stop riding , I can live life through your lens and see your life and love becoming so much better... thank you both for letting us enjoy your life!!!

So well produced and narrated. Ed has a great voice, very clear and easy on the ear.

Excellent series. Fowey is pronounced Foy.

It's been weird seeing someone cycle the roads I typically drive along. Always funny to hear someone pronounce Fowey as well! (For future, so you don't get any odd looks in future, it's Foi, rhyming with oi)

18:26 there’s two green digital artifacts that appear after talking about the ghost hah

This was a particularly nice episode. Thank you Aishoola and Ed! Your videos accompany me since your short tour through boring Austria along the Danube :-).

It is always pure pleasure to follow your bike adventures. I am so happy that you have such a lovely partner to share life with and who is happy to share her life with you. You are technically excellent in video production and video capture. Every minute of your travels has been enjoyable, I wish you all the best, both of you, and happiness and good health,

Beautiful video, I really enjoyed.

I appreciate that you're maintaining the proper rider to wheel ratio. 😁

once again i enjoyed the video you guys be safe out there.

From the Scottish Highlands, via the Lake District to Land’s End; Great Britain is so beautiful! Well done, you two.

So nice to see that you're still in contact with some people from the world tour!

Another excellent video!

Another great video. Loved the cave. Take care, Al

I'm in Vietnam, enjoying the vids again Ed. Keep it up, fun to see you exploring the UK

Just found your channel, great content and might now be tempted to watch your unicycle trip. Carrying the tandem down the steps to the ferry reminded us of doing the same with our Thompson tandem in 1985 from Tobermory over to Kilchoan which at that time was just a small 25' open boat. Great fun. Enjoy your travels.

Great videos, great time of year to be cycling, great weather (for the UK) and Great Britain looking good!

Nice one Ed!

Thanks for the Video. Great episode. Greetings from Germany.

Really like watching ur videos and can't wait for the next 1 keep doing wot ur doing u 2 are making it look easy nothing but respect to the both of u

Hello Ed and Aishola, what a nice video. I found the Place with the light tower to be particularly pretty. Thank you very much and I'm looking forward to your next video. Warm greetings from Germany😍 Dagmar

Ed, I love you man, but as a Cornish boy - Fowey being said “fa-wee” did make me giggle!! (It’s “Foy” for those who don’t know!)

10:40 every time i hear him say Motivated i hear "moterboated" and i think no wonder your rearing to get good in the mornings. 😂😂

Lovely series :)

I’ve found that it is possible to flip the rear brake to the other side of the mount. If you were able to add an additional brake routed to your partners handlebars you might be able to increase brake power

Falmouth brings 2 of my favourite channels together. Ed Pratt Tandem and Sampson Boat Co, Tally Ho's birth place. I think that you have created a challenge for Brompton, a folding tandem!

Early gang! Already know this is gonna be amazing

You and your girlfriend are great Ed! I really enjoy watching your videos!

I appreciated the "Cheers shag" ad you got off the ferry at St Mawes. It's pronounced Fowey like boy btw 😉

It would be so good to see fellow companions from the world tour (like the French couple). I guess it would be quite a feat to dip the wheels of the tandem in the waters at the final estimation?

hope you had a good time on your bike

That dumpling is like a mini Cornish pasty!

Makes me want to ride a whole loop of Cornwall myself, regularly do a lot of the North Coast path on my mountain bike.

Been waiting for this update! I saw one episode of this series on my suggestion/s and I kinda love it that I watched it all! Continue inspiring others! Love from the Philippines!🤍

Wooow its amazing bro 👍

I AM watching from Nepal I am inspired from you I started cycling big fan

It's nice to see you catch up with people you've met during the unicycle tour. I remember the Chinese guy cycling across China with his daughter and a big dog. I wonder how they are doing.

Not only is it better to have the stoker with both feet on the pedals to start as it provides power through only one chain but it is good to make the stoker keep feet up when you stop as the captain does not want to put a foot down on top of the stokers and then have the stoker pull away.calamity for all likely.I say ‘it is my machine - you do as I say’.I had a tall stoker lean me into a pothole trying to steer,I was not pleased.

Hi guys we ride tandem bike too we follow your videos of tandem bike to get some tips keep sharing all the best to you guys take care

Very interesting. We have been tandeming for 15 years . We did a barge supported tandem ride from Amsterdam to MAASTRICHT IN 2019 . Now that we are in our 70s we can no longer tandem up long hills, so we are buying an Etandem. If you want a real challenge try the 12500 km cycle route across Canada from the Yukon to Newfoundland. It was recently completed in 60 days

great video :)

I get the notification, I stop everything and watch the video. Yewww!

that video of you carrying the unicycle looks very much like New Zealand.

Good for you 👍

Funny the different methods, on out tandem my wife and I both have our right foot on the pedal (which is at 2 o’clock) and both with our left foot on the ground and we just push off together and use tear first half turn of the pedal to go onto our saddles. And stopping is the exact reverse, both with our left foot coming of the pedal and grounding as stop. Weird thing is my whole life when on my own flat pedal bikes I put my RIGHT foot down but on a bike with clip in pedals/cleats I put my left foot down, as I do with a tandem. Habits …

Massive respect to you Ed. For future reference I swear it's pronounced FOY instead of fowie. I love the place had many nice cycle rides dropping in and out of it please visit Wacker Quay on way into Torpoint for the ferry to Plymouth in a village called Antony? Perfect camping spot where oddly a ferret wanted to be my night time friend. Not fun moment to meet one but interesting meet. Never seen one since I wish I could live that again on a surreal camping foggy day

Love the tandem discussion! Right up my alley. For starts with clipless pedals, it's imperative that the stoker get completely on the bike and in the pedals. Then when you start, only the captain has to get one pedal clipped in and you're off. It's even more important for the five couples in the world still using toe clips and straps (ha, ha, ha!). No hands? I was always unable to ride no hands on our road tandem. But then I replaced the old WTB Grease Guard with a proper headset - a Chris King - and Voila! I could ride no hands! Man, I sure wish I had figured that out about 15 years before! A crappy, damaged or mis-adjusted headset may be the culprit. That said, I did learn a few interesting things about no hands tandem riding. If you think riding no hands is hard with your stoker aboard, try it without! Wow, now that's a challenge. After dropping my kid off at school, I rode home solo. It was then while doing so on a quiet bike path that I learned about the actual dynamics of no hands on a tandem. It has almost EVERYTHING to do with frame sway. As the fork and front wheel turns, the entire frame sways in the opposite direction. Simultaneously, the frame can tilt a little. Well, ride solo and no hands, but put your hands on the stoker bars below your seat and you can quickly experience the effect of sway and/or an unbalanced frame. Pull up on the stoker bars, and the tandem does strange things, steering-wise. Hold the stoker bars nice and flat and the bike becomes FAR more stable. So from experimenting with this, I've learned that any leaning by the stoker throws off no hands riding. If the captain stabilizes the entire bike by holding the stoker bars, you may then achieve no hands riding without incident! At least that's what I learned. Your mileage may vary! PS Properly set up brakes won't experience cable "stretch." The change in adjustment you're experiencing is most likely the result of brake pad wear, especially when new. Yes, new bikes may exhibit "cable stretch," bit it's a misnomer. It's just all the cable housing ends seating in their respective cable stops. Fully squeezing the brake levers at initial setup will remove this and allow for final proper brake cable tension adjustment. Also, new rim brakes, if over-toed, will "wear down" faster as the leading edge of the brake pad wears away quickly with more and more toe. Oh and one more thing, rear tandem brake cables (and housing) do indeed stretch (and compress) during use. They are materials with limitations. But this is the elastic nature of steel cable & housing; it returns to its original position when the brake lever is released. Some companies sell "compressionless" housing to address the issue, but they still compress, just less than cheaper alternatives. Under hard braking, rear tandem brakes can suffer lack of power. This is why hydraulic rear brakes are the perfect solution for tandems. But they have their shortcomings as well, so one must decide which benefits one prefers relative to their costs.

Something I found out after I visited, the lighthouse at 13:51 was the one used for Fraggle Rock!

love

good job

Which is more awkward. Setting up the camera and going back to the bime then cycling past and then turning around for the camera then getting off again to get it and then actually cycling away with the Unicycle or tandem

A few miles extra but it might have been easier to get the King Harry Ferry at Feock

Sangat suka ketika dua budaya menyatu, seperti Eropa dan Asia. Godbless ❤️

Tandem = Dalek. 😉😁👍👍

It’s great to have Seymour Butts supporting cycling!

Now in Cornwall. Once tasted adventure and life outside of London for a month or more - there is no going back!

Have to feel sorry for the four who gave you the thumbs down, great video

You should ride around the world on a tandem unicycle.

Im in Falmout!! would have been so cool to meet you

That story about the ghost put the 'willies' up me. I'll get me coat.

I think you two will go around the world on a tandem and I cannot wait...

It is not stretching brake cables, it is wearing off break pads :-D

Really enjoying your trip on the tandem. We have been riding a tandem for many year, lots of fun. Most of our rides are just day trips, not too much touring yet. Question about your bike . . . it looks like you have a rim brake and a disc break on the rear wheel? Is that right, I've never seen that before.

Hello, my new friend. Wow! It's a bicycle trip video that gives viewers so much emotion and healing.💗🌿💘 I watch your video until the end. I'm happy to be your great channel friend.💚💝💗 Have a lucky 💜💛💕 day. 👍👍👍🤙👌

Excellent ‼️ More please. 👍☮️🌞🌟🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🐾

I love country side of UK. all places are lovelly. I hope to see there again. frorm Korea.

Power 👍 👍 👍

Nice

Bit confused by your brake adjusting, do you have disk *and* rim brakes?

I like it

I wonder if the extra weight on the handlebars would be fixed with the youth of the right tensioned spring Bitesize spring going out from the centre bar to each side maybe just to keep it wanting to stay true

amaz...

I know this video was filmed a while ago but when you guys are next with the tandem could we see a review/tour of the setup? I'm curious about your brakes as on my (dated mountain) tandem the disc brakes are hydraulic with the levers on the front bars and the v-brake levers are on the bars of the rear rider.

Ed, do you use strava or anything to track your rides so we can see them on that platform? All the best mate 👍🏼

it is like a limousine

Am I the only one who saw the thumbnail and thought "Wow, they've gotten really fit since episode 4!"

Maybe a unitandem?

Cool mannnnnnn👍👍👍👊👊👊👊

Is that the house from the 1984 movie - Withnail and I??

I didn't catch how the dumplings are cooked? Are they steamed manti?

Nice. Exploring. Adventure.....Eurupe......so. Beautiful....country....

seymour butts 🤣🤣 made me laugh

Hydraulic Magura rim brakes would be perfect for that bike

👍

I'm so confused about the breaks on the back wheel. At 16:53 you can clearly see a disk rotor... and rim breaks. On the front I've only seen rim breaks. What's going on!?

7:46 In Indonesia, Especially in my Province It's called "Jalangkote" 🤣🤣🤣 :v

How about next time a tandem unicycle?

Elijah LeJander!

The village from The Prisoner must be somewhere in this area.

can't believe u got v brakes on the tandem. do u find urselves wishing for disc?

Молодцы! Круто! Смотрим в России.

I swar Ed will cycle to the moon if he had to for content

The Goonies were right.... There is a One Eyed Willy¡! 😱😁

Is Aishola Bhutia?

Next adventure, quad tandem with this couple. Still 1 wheel per person just no. of people keeps going up.

Thanks for show casing Cornwall. Totally mispronounced Fowey though 😂
