I had to cancel some IAM tests today because of the weather, so I’ve had a bit of unexpected time to edit and upload another one.

Have you thought about making a video chatting to someone else in the car? (Maybe you have done so and I have missed it) It might make a teaching video more watchable. I know you approached one of the car Youtubers to explore a collaboration - did you try a number of them?
Just the one so far, but I’ll try a few others & see if I can get some interest. I’m just at that point with the channel (just over 5,000 subs), that a little collaboration with a bigger channel would give it a substantial boost.Having said that, I’m still enjoying just making my own stuff as and when it suits, so I’m not too concerned either way.

Don’t worry - I’ll continue to make car content, but I’ve had quite a few requests for bike stuff & I feel I’m suitably qualified now.

Thanks Ali. I’ve just arranged to meet up with a manual M2 Comp owner later in June to make a video comparing the two gearboxes, so hopefully you’ll find that interesting.
In the meantime, I’ve made some new bike videos - here’s the first, an advanced bike demo ride. This is the edited version, but I’ll upload the full length unedited version in a few weeks time:

^^ really good video!
Be interested to know your opinion on blanket 20 limits? IMO, they don't work because 20 is so slow in a modern car in normal circumstances (ie typical area that used to be 30) that people don't do 20, ok, they don't do 30 either, but they are exceeding the limit, which further re-enforces in their head that it's "ok" to speed. (a bit like being able to do 85 on the M-Way, so effectively re-enforcing the normality of breaking the posted limit)
I live on a small housing estate on a road which loops round for about a mile from a main road. It’s a bus route with two primary and one secondary school, and lined with houses, driveways & the occasional shop.Be interested to know your opinion on blanket 20 limits?

The speed limit has always been 30mph on my road, and for good reason. As you can imagine, there are lots of cars parked on the road, loads of pedestrians, kids, cyclists, people queuing for buses, dogs etc. A classic 30mph road.
But a majority of drivers consistently failed to recognise the hazards & drove in excess of the 30 limit. 40 was pretty much the speed most drivers would be comfortable with, despite everything thats going on, night & day. There were a few accidents every year - usually child pedestrians. These are always horrible.
2 years ago, the Council dropped the speed limit to 20mph. It’s well signed, with plenty of repeaters.
Now, everyone drives at 30mph.
I’m much happier with that. 30 still suits the road & hazards, but 20 feels excessively slow. I tend to drive close to 20mph and I think I’m pretty much the only one who does, but the overall effect of the 20 limit has been to bring the speed of traffic down to where it should be for that road.
And accidents have reduced significantly. Those accidents which do occur now tend to be much less serious, so it’s had the desired effect. Seems difficult to argue with in my view.
