Join me on a cycle through East London to the Bike Shed in Old Street, Shoreditch. One of Londons coolest biker hangouts. Beers, motorbikes and coffee. I take you for a tour around the Bike Shed and do some shopping for potential motorcycle gear.
Belstaff jackets, Hedon helmets and lots more great riding clothes and equipment.

[Music] [Applause] [Music] Hello once again you wonderful loss on YouTube. I am without a motorbike still. So sad times, but wanting to be on a motorbike, thought um I want to be around them. So I’m heading up to I’m not too far actually at the moment from the bike shed uh in London. So we’re going to ride up. Just go and have a little look around even though I am on a pedal bike today. I’ll go and have a look a little look around. Look at the bikes. There’s some cool um there’s some cool um clothes in there as well. There’s like a bar. There’s a tattoo shop. Um a barber as well. Really cool. So, we’re going to have a look around. Um yeah, for the moment I’m stuck on this uh unmotorized pedal bike, although it is good for your health. Catch you in a bit. [Music] [Music] [Music] All right, guys. So, I’m here on my uh I feel a little bit a little bit left out, actually. So, I’m here on my pedal bike without a motor as someone’s just conveniently pointed out. Um, hope you can hear me. Okay, it’s another very impromptu video done on my phone. Nothing too crazy. Um, but yeah, so you come through. The cool bit about it is you come through the motorbike shed here. That’s the entrance over there. And you can ride your bike as I did. I’ll put some footage up. You ride through here and that’s all seating either side. So, you have a cafe and a bar. I’ll show you all around in a second. Good bar in there, good food, good cafes. It’s really worth visiting actually if you’ve never been here. It’s a really, really cool place. I took a friend here the other day. He was really impressed. He loves it. Um, so yeah, you ride through here, come in, and then here’s some parking for your motorbike. Uh, or your pedal bike if you want. I’ve changed my pedal bike up down there cuz I don’t have a motorbike at the moment. Um, yeah, pretty cool start. Let’s uh go for a little walk around. I’ll show you. Right. So, as you walk out of the parking, you get straight into this area. So, you can see it’s very cool. It’s all sort of brick. It’s like sort of like it’s under an old railway with these bricks. Uh here there’s like a seating area here, obviously. Lovely leather leather seating area. And then they’ve got some really cool um gear here. So, it’s basically a shop just for all your gear. So, I think they do helmets actually. Yeah, helmets. They do helmets. Um, helmets here, jackets. Very sort of It’s cool gear. It’s like old school gear. It’s sort of like if we take a look at some of it. It’s like you get Merlin. Hello. There you get Merlin. Brilliant brand. Actually, that’s not Merlin. That’s Bell stuff. Uh, even better brand. So, they do Bell stuff. Even better brand. And I’m sure they do Merlin as well, but they got lots of gear. Very cool. Old school old school scrambler here. Not sure what it is, but very cool. Sort of custom jobby. And nice selection of gloves. I’m definitely in the market for some gloves at the moment. Really need an upgrade. So yeah, some of those will do well. That is a very nice bag. Gold top brand. Never heard of it before, but that’s beautiful. Real quality. um materials on there. Don’t know if you some of you have noticed, but my bag on my previous videos is looking a bit ragged and really needs an update. Um so yeah, I might be in the market thinking something that gold top one’s very nice. Probably a bit expensive. This is uh quite suitable for camera gear, um YouTubing, etc. Is the uh barber shop. It’s pretty cool, actually. Actually, I do need a haircut. Maybe I’ll get a haircut another day. Not today. But um yeah, all the gear as you come around here. Big kitchen like bar. Um big area for dining. That’s the main street out here. There used to be a shop in here. Oh, that’s cool. Look at that. Yeah. Is that Himalayan? Oh god. That is a potential for the next bike. Okay, so potential for the next bike, I’m not guaranteeing I’m going to buy one. Maybe I’ll do another video on that. But price-wise, adventure-wise, and the vibe, I really like this. Um, I think that’s the 411. Don’t take my word for it, but I think it’s a 411 Himalayan. So cool. And actually, something I’ve been thinking I could do in the future is um a Mongolia trip. Uh there’s companies I’ve been researching and maybe I’ll do a video on this as well. I’ve been researching you can go to Mongolia and do these sort of mo organized motorcycle adventures. Um that would be so cool. Uh if I could do that dreamy. Um yeah, lovely little bike. Coffee this way. Interesting selection of uh IPAs and laggers, guys. Okay, guys. So, I’ve ordered a little coffee, sit down for a little chill and a coffee. It’s nice, even though I don’t have a motorbike, just to get out and uh moving again on two wheels today, although no motor, but to come and check out the bike shed. So, this is where you can sit, see people chilling here. And then the motorbikes come up down to the garage down there and then in through the entrance there. Time to try on some gear, guys. It’s getting exciting. So, I’m going to try on. Tell you what, I’ll put it on then I’ll show you what I’ve what I’m thinking. Right. Trousers wise, going for a bit of a sort of chino style. Um, which I think seems quite cool. I used to have John Doe jeans I think it was. Here we’ve got slightly pricier or very pricey. Bell staff double A rated. Um, and this is also double A rated. Bit cheaper. This is Merlin Chino style. So, I’ll try both of these on. see how these look. Right. So, here’s the Merlin. Unfortunately, this is the smallest size they’ve got. And I’m not going to show you down there, but um they’re way too big. But cool though. Well rated. They got knee pads, hip pads as well. Um double A rated and cool. Actually, I quite like them in black. I think with a sort of white t-shirt and a sort of lighter style jacket. Very cool looking. Unfortunately, too big. So I won’t be getting these Bell staff pair. They’re cons little bit well almost sort of double the price. They’re 349. Fit a lot better fortunately. Um feel a lot more solid. Um thicker. Feels like thicker material, more robust. They are cool actually. They fit a lot better. Last but very much not least, I’ve always wanted one of these of pilot style um sort of bomber style jacket. This is a beauty. Actually, not too I was expecting it to be more expensive. It’s $349. Quite achievable. Fits really well. Go show you in the mirror. Don’t know how well you can see it, but shoulder pads, back pads, elbow pads, removable collar. It’s quite cool. But in the winter, I think this is just a rocking look on your uh on your cool motorbike. Sorely tempted by this jacket. Let me know what you think of this one, please. Okay, Tim, it’s a bit sketchy riding like this while I was filming, so I’ll make it quick. And it’s probably really windy. Hope you enjoyed that brief video uh me on my bicycle. See you in the next one. It’s been fun. I like these little bits. It’s been Red Angal. Peace out. [Music]

You must be missing the speedmaster?
At least you're out on two wheels! Agreed, the Belstaff jacket fitted you well.
You looked very comfortable in that establishment. Things might get expensive LOL!
Cannot wait for you to get back on a motorbike and out on the road again man.
Very enjoyable indeed Sir 😜👍
Mate, lovely to see you back again, don’t give a toss what you ride just give us loads more positive, informative vids!! Just bloody do it! 👍👍👍
stoked to have you back man, i now own a speedmaster, in part due to your vids. What a great bike. Loved your previous tour videos. Hoping to retrace some of your steps in france soon on the speedy! All the best and looking forward to seeing what you'll be riding in the future!
Like catching up with an old friend. We missed you!
Roadskin do some great jeans, very long on the leg though so maybe choose a leg length down
Cool pedal bike 😎
Is the quality of Belstaff really that much better then Merlin?
Motorbike, pushbike who cares so good to see you back 🙏
Always wanted to visit The Bike Shed. Now I've seen how ultra cool it is, I'll definitely visiting now! Looks like you had a fun afternoon, even without a motorcycle yet. Nice video, quality presentation as always! It's like you've never been away!
Naughty RedAng, get a cycling helmet, they don't cost much!
Great to see you back … and looking forward to seeing you on something with a bit more horsepower soon 🏍️ 😊
Posers' Paradise…
Hey man, You must be missing "Speedy" that place is made for Her.
OMG
Bike shed needs to relocate asap. FC uk LDN 👎🏻
Two wheels is two wheels … and cycling is soooo good for your state of mind. I've loved the feeling of cycling since I was 5 years old (now nearly 55 years ago) and still cycle to and from work. Don't drop the push bike even after you've got the motorbike!! Good luck with your shopping 🤓
That jacket looked great. Then get an olive green Royal Enfield Bear. Similar to what Mr. Darcy has. That would be a great combo. Cheers ✌️
Great place, was there back in the spring. Good food and top service. You should check out Urban Rider in Fulham for gear as well.
You have a good thing. I think you’re going to catch on and do quite well. Keep doing what you’re doing. Cheers mate! From the US.
