Great point! If I have a situation like that I just lay it on the ground. Like I said if it's on the ground it can't fall 😊

Yep me too!

Awesome! Thanks for letting me know. Try it out and tell what you think. Thanks for watching Patrick 😊

Cheers!

You're Welcome and thanks for watching!

Sorry to hear that!! Grrr 😡 this is why I prefer laying my bike down on the ground so it can’t fall. But depending where you are you won’t be able to do that safely. But you’re right it’s time for a new bike! Stat! 😂

It's not truly yours until you've scratched it! Unless you buy used, then it's yours as soon as you hand over the cash. 😂

Indeed which why 90% of the time I lay the bike down on the ground. It’s all situational. Thanks for watching!

Thank You for watching!

I posed your question to Jess. She says she’s brought the bike into convenient stores sometimes. I’ve taken mine in to big grocery stores when doing brevets and alone. I am usually self-sufficient as far as calories so all I need is water for my REV Energy powder or for hydration. I stop at parks, water fountains, and fast food places where I’m in and out very quickly. This is a tough thing to deal with riding alone. Great question! Great point about being considerate of others. As you can see from both videos there weren’t any other park users around. If solo I bring my bike into the stall with me though 😊 However, something has to have gone terribly wrong for me to use the bathroom on any ride shorter 6-8 hours. 😮

@@SeeYouUpTheRoad yeah, I pretty much avoid having to stop when possible, and have considered bringing my bike in if and when I find myself doing rides long enough to need it. As long as there's room the rubber on our tires shouldn't be any dirtier than the rubber on one's shoes. Most of my rides are semi-rural, so water sources tend to be indoors, though I guess theft is less likely, too. I've leaned my bike against porta potty doors, but I'm about as likely to step into the woods in the odd occasion I need to. Thanks for sharing. Definitely wasn't accusing you of being inconsiderate, more general advice for the viewing community. Sadly, some of the disdain the general public has towards riders is earned by a few who are inconsiderate.

Thanks for watching Joseph!

I like that method too! I was saving that for tips on photo shoots for your bike video! 😂

That's a good tip! My bike's rear mudguard prevents leaning on the tire rubber. But my helmet's gotta go somewhere, right? Good one.

@@JosefMarc Nice! Thanks for watching 🙂

Yep already covered that in a previous video. Once it’s on the ground it can’t fall. Lay the bike down on the ground Today's Pro Tip - Yes lay your bike down - avoiding rear derailleur hanger issues kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aruei6-Kp7XYlZs.html

I agree with you. Every situation requires a different bike parking technique 😂 hence why I lay my bike down on the ground almost always 😊

I have Koga Q-guard skewers on all of my bikes. Never fails to protect the derailleur.

⁠I had to look those up. That’s interesting because usually the driveside is just a nut and these go up and over the RD

You have been trolling me lately. Be careful with your comments or you will be blocked. I have deleted all your other comments. But I am replying to this comment to put you on notice. Straighten up and fly right Cheers

@@SeeYouUpTheRoad This is the only comment I've posted on this channel and was the first time I saw the channel in my recommendations. Though it was clearly trollish. ❤️ :P Good luck with the channel though, I did watch one or two other travel log / bike tweak videos. I intended my comment more to be playful than straight up annoying. Maybe I'll catch something else you upload in the future.

My apologies then! Someone recently has been posting trolling comments on videos in my back catalogue . Once again my apologies!

Just so you know, George, 'nerd' doesn't have quite the same negative connotations it once did. I'd suggest taking that one in stride. Respect for standing up to trollish behavior, though.
