B I want to say like keep thinking of that biscuit or that cake like Baddingborn or bezing or bugging. I’m really destroying this. Sorry for all the Belgiums out there. I don’t really I don’t really know. But uh anyway, we’re in we’re in the first part of Belgium. Uh we’ve done a really cool little ride around the coastware. Had some great lunch and yeah, really chilled. We’re going to head to the hotel and then uh check in do some stuff there and hopefully meet up with uh Vinnie from uh the Belgium One Wheelers later tonight. So keep here and we’ll do some more stuff with them and take some footage hopefully of some One Wheelers as well. on the battery last. You get down the road and you just goes, “Oh.” Hey, feel bomb.

[Music] So, we are on day two in Belgium and we’re going to go to Zuber uh from Bruge on the Arrow. Uh we got the Arrow, the C8, and the M104. Um got a charger in my bag just in case. It’s about 9 milesi to Zuba. Going to see if we can charge, have coffee, and then explore a bit more. If not, it’ll be a ride uh down to Suba. Uh and we’ll see how it goes. Anyway, um I’m going to leave this camera here because I’ve got my charger in my backpack as well. So, um I don’t think I’m going to be able to carry all of it, unfortunately. But we’ll we’ll see how it goes. I might take this as well. Um but yeah, we’re going to expect some ride footage and some more fun and yeah, keep it along. Um oh, and the other thing is I think we’re going to be doing the Brussels car day on the last day as well. So, yeah, hopefully that’s going to turn out good as well. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Yeah. Heat. [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] headquarters, right? Uh yeah. So, we’re here in Zubreger. Zubre Zubreger. And um it’s raining, but it doesn’t matter. You can’t actually tell it’s raining. So, if you imagine all of this in sunshine, but it doesn’t matter. We’ve got the Arrow, the C8, and the M104. All survived really well, and we’re sitting having multiple coffees outside this great coffee shop. We got K over here. We got Jiza. And yeah, um I I can’t think of a better way of spending a weekend to be honest. It’s um it’s riding meals, Belgium beer. That was fun. Um and um yeah, just a good all round weekend so far. So um yeah, don’t waste your weekend. Don’t waste your weekend. Get out there and do stuff. So uh really, really good ride today. Uh we it was a bit wet. Um started off quite a night drive, but we knew it was going to be a bit rainy today. Um, we rode from Bruge down to Zuba and uh, yeah, really can’t um, can’t explain how easy and how great it is to ride in Belgium. And it was a bit wet on the way back and a little bit on the way there and a little more on the way back, but you know, we got wet and got back and drying stuff out and stuff. The Arrow um, and the C8 is fine. even the little M104 powered through the rain. Um you know it’s all it’s all good. So um what um I’ve already kind of largely tested the arrow in terms of um waterproofing and stuff like that cuz unfortunately I got caught out of thunderstorm before. Um so I was quite confident in that. The the best surprise I think we’ve had so far with all of these wheels is that because of the type of riding we’re doing and where we’re riding, you know, the we’re not probably going above 20 mph just because we’re being respectful of the country that we’re riding in. And these little wheels because of that have just got huge amounts of of of range. You know, we’re coming back with very um small amounts um taken off the off the range. So, you know, for commute wheels, these are all perfect uh perfect little wheels. And um so the the wheels have been just phenomenal um in all of this. But I will say the biggest and nicest thing of this trip has been um Belgium itself and uh the infrastructure is so well laid out. The bike routes are brilliant. The um the laws around it are pretty good. That doesn’t mean say there’s no consequences if you do something wrong or you’re, you know, you’re riding like an idiot, but respect the country and the infrastructure and the laws where you’re going and it’s fine. You know, the police have all been polite. No problems whatsoever. We’ve been respectful riding. We’re geared up. We’ve got um, you know, armor on. We’ve got helmets on, gloves. We’re not being you know, we’re not being trouble. We’ve gone past police motorbikes, police stopping a scooter, but we believe it’s for, you know, because they hadn’t adhered to some of the rules that um are in there um for for Belgium. Um the countryside and everything around it has been just amazing. But it just comes across as such a such a wellthoughtout country. The laws are based on common sense. the everyone certainly yesterday everyone seemed really happy and chilled no matter where you want everyone was riding a bike you know kids were being picked up from school with um you know on bikes and now we’re riding in on these cycle paths with their parents um we’ve ridden past like you know families and um and other people on bikes they’ve said hello they smiled they waved um everything around Belgium that I’ve seen Bruge and um uh Zubreger and you know some of these other sort of places we’ve been it’s just been brilliant you know it’s been a phenomenal trip um so far we look like I think we’re going to try and do the carf free day in Brussels tomorrow um which should be a lot of fun no cars on the road and just um free rain of the the city again not low speed not low not high speeds or anything like that but um again another really cool experience. We sat at a cafe at lunchtime like waiting for the most of the heavy rain to sort of ease up. Sat and had a couple of coffees and a drink and stuff like that. Um restaurant owner was really friendly. Everyone was really nice. Honestly, I can’t fault this trip at all. Um I I think if you’re going to come ride in Belgium, but if you are going to ride in Belgium, be respectful when you’re here. Um, you know, that’s that’s the big thing. Don’t come here thinking that you can race through streets at 30, 40 miles an hour. You’re going to get yourself instantly caught. But like, respect it. Keep the speeds low. Enjoy what the cities have to offer, right? And that’s why you come to these places, not just to race through them and not see anything, but to experience it and go out in the evenings and, you know, enjoy where you’re coming. Uh, you know, the city you’re you’re coming to. Um, and a big shout out to Vinnie, right? Um Vinnie uh Vizel from uh on YouTube and um you know Instagram and stuff like that. Uh thank you for making the time for us. You know, we went uh we went to his hometown. We went for a a ride around these really cool trails. Luckily the weather was great. Um it was a lot of fun and and you know it’s really cool to um meet up with other people in other countries that you’ve you know I’ve met I met Vinnie uh in person earlier in the year at Shred the Shire which was cool and I said we was coming over to Belgium and we just made it made it work and made it happen. He was so welcoming and um thanks Vinnie for hosting. It was much appreciated. We had an absolute blast and it was great just at the back end of the ride just like sitting watching the sun and chilling and talking and stuff like that. So they’re the moments like I live for, right? So um thank you um for that and uh yeah um next one I think might be uh might be Brussels tomorrow. I might uh go out and take the camera with me uh do some videoing around um Bruge. We haven’t done that yet. So, I think we’re going to try and go around a little bit of some of the shops and stuff like that later. So, I’ll take this with us and uh yeah, onwards [Music] [Music] [Music] That’s great.
