what daisy daisy and i
thank you very much
we're in new york on bikes on holiday i don't know what time it is because when did we get here last
night yesterday afternoon but it was night for us yesterday afternoon but it was night for us
there's a bit of jet lag going on which means we've ended up getting up super early we're
in prospect park riding bikes it's one of those holidays where it's not really a holiday because
coming to new york i love filming here so there's going to be a camera involved for quite a lot of
it daisy how are you i'm good it's been a while since i've been properly in the video exactly
everyone misses you i missed you i'll show you in real life though yeah i'm good and i'm a lot
happier than when we last rode in new york new york's one of my favorite cities on earth that
i've been to and last time we were here it was not only freezing cold but daisy had only just learned
to ride a bike like a road bike well we knew how to ride a bike but i'd only just learnt to ride
proper road bike with gears and everything so we did a little bit of riding but also it was
like sub-zero temperatures so we struggled a bit this time we have two weeks here basically
perfect weather and we're really looking forward to exploring the city a little bit more catching
up with some people we've done all the tourist things last time we were here so we're just
going to enjoy ourselves and ride some bicycles along with everyone else from new york there's
a lot of people here is it me or is this park a bit sketch for cycling there's a lot of people
all going in different directions even though there's an arrow on the ground yeah
there's a bike lane there's a piece of paint beats richmond park doesn't it
do you think it's kind of like being on zwift where the runners run past you go faster than
you are that's true hey we're going faster than that what are we doing which one's the liquid
terminator g2000 they're as fast as him yeah you know he runs off the car with uh swords for
hands in the same way that if you lived in london you'd go to regions park or richmond park to ride
prospect park you live in brooklyn so across the river from manhattan
is the park of choice early in the morning i expect there's group rides pushing on a little
bit even though it does say slow printed on the road uh there's fairly limited places to train
if you live in the middle of the city so this is your option if you live in manhattan the
biggest most famous bit of new york city with empire state building and all that stuff then
you have central park again same sort of thing in the mornings there'll be people pushing on
i have to say this is a very nice place to be good to see that they're preserving some
nice green spaces and making room for riding bikes and running i finished a couple of laps of daisy
i then did one fast one really fast well it felt fast maybe i'm just unfit
am i is it against the etiquette at this time of the day to do a fast one someone know in
the comments so against the etiquette we're now having a little rest and then beat the midday sun
or 11 o'clock 30 degrees son and head back get ready and go back out again not on bikes
but to explore some of the city without the worry that we're gonna freeze to death like in
the past not even a jumper think at some point i got my grubby mitts all over daisy's brakes
so with her disc rotors so they're making a big squeaking noise so we're on a mission to find
some disc brake cleaner or something that can act as that i think there's a bike shop there
successful mission two new brake pads uh completely my fault i think i put your
disc rotors in a bag of grease which you should not do it was a totally
innocent looking bag the bike is now silent nicest guys what was it called
habitat cycles very nice guys job done now i'm very hungry i'm very sweaty and salty as well
i've got to say some of new york's cycle infrastructure is a little bit rough around
the edges but on the whole i think it's better than london there's a lot of protected bike lanes
almost every single road has at least a painted green lane on the side and you move pretty
quickly okay everything is like a grid so you do get stuck at traffic lights sort of fairly
routinely but if you get in the flow of it you can cover some ground and a lot of people ride bikes
here that's the sign i wish london even though i don't live there anymore could improve things just
a little bit more to be a bit closer to this i'm guessing a lot of it is fairly new i mean
this road clearly didn't used to have this on and they just put a big lump of concrete
and protect you so i'm happy riding it shoot the bike lanes better than london
makes a lot of bloody noise just warns you about everything of a big yellow school bus
can we even go up that street it's one way no hey daisy i think this bike lane is new
we are now going into the outside world to search for burritos
i might be in trouble here my coffee that i bought i did not realize that it was infused
with cbd i might i don't know what's gonna happen focus and clarity boosting benefits
i'm gonna get the paranoia no it's supposed to not make you paranoid isn't it yeah but it will
so we are now heading over williamsburg bridge to manhattan nice peaceful walk once we get there
we're going to meet our friend this evening nuria otherwise known as the person who saved my life
when i broke both my arms last time i came to new york this is a 55 minute walk i think i've
been enough more than i can chew it as a cyclist hey i wanted to get in somewhere you said let's
walk so it's lucky lawrence isn't here well he would be back there still yeah there would be
one mission of today stay up past our bedtime to beat the jet lag it's
not going well i already feel like i need a nap daisy what's happened daisy fat fingers
that normally just comes off very easily
we've successfully made it to 8 50 pm jet lag that's really interesting completed
soon we'll overcome this jet lag and we'll have time to do lots of interesting and fun stuff
here in new york city if you are a new yorker or have been here before
let us know your suggestions on cool stuff to do be it cycling
or not put them down in the comment section down below hope you enjoyed today's video and
stay tuned for more coming from new york in the next two weeks thanks for watching
cbd coffee drink makes you anxious and not anxious at the same time
