cycling stream

Testing, testing.

Testing, testing,

testing. Ow, ow, ow! Oh, damn it!

Oh no,

didn't plug in my battery.

Hello and welcome back to a new

livestream. Hopefully this time it goes

a bit better.

Wait, where is it?

Aha, okay, should be charging.

We've got 2 bonded cellular

connections, so better not eff

today. Oh wow, the quality

looks pretty good. Where are we going

today? I'm just gonna go home, but we're

also gonna go around some country lanes,

test out this bonding thing.

It should be a lot better today because

I've got the GoPro chest mount, so we are

facing forwards like that.

And we've also got a wireless modem— well,

not wireless, it's plugged into the

thingamajig. Let me check,

check my bandwidth.

Holy shit, we've got 9,000 kilobits per

second! Jesus!

Oh my God, we're streaming at 1080p

on an AT&T SIM and my iPhone as a

hotspot, and we've got 9,000

kilobits per second. An AT&T

SIM and my iPhone. Can you imagine if you

get a second Well, a third SIM card and

you bond 3 connections together.

Can you imagine if you get a second— well,

third SIM card and you bond— Wow, I don't

know why I've got an AT&T connection

though in the UK. I thought AT&T was

American. Hopefully everything stays in

place in my backpack.

I was kind of panicking setting this up

just now because I couldn't get the AT&T

to connect, and I thought maybe I can't

connect my phone and the SIM at the same

time, but you can. It just— I had to

unplug it and then plug it back in.

Maybe I can't connect my phone. Can you

hear me okay? I've got the dead cat on,

so wind shouldn't be a problem,

and I'm gonna put the phone here like

that. I've got Velcro on the handlebar.

Hopefully it doesn't fall off so I can see

if it's actually streaming or not,

because last time I had to keep pulling my

phone out my pocket to check if it was

streaming. And I can see the chat as well.

I'm holding down on the Siri button,

that's why. Wow, we nearly

got 10,000 kilobits per second. That's

insane, because usually I stream at

at 1,500 or less than 1,000.

Looks and sounds great, thanks. Last

stream was a bit of a disaster, kept

disconnecting, the GoPro kept pointing to

So we're gonna try some country lanes,

hopefully goes smoothly.

I just shipped off my Oculus Quest 2

because I sold it. Problem is I

couldn't get it working. I factory reset

it and then the right controller wouldn't

pair. I couldn't pair it through the app.

I told the guy, he said— well, I said

to him, you— I'll send it anyway and you

can have a go at trying to fix it. And if

you can't get it to work either, then you

can just keep it and I'll send you the

money back. Because if it doesn't work,

then I don't really care if he sends it

back or not. It's basically useless at

this point. That is really secure. People

are saying, why don't you get a phone

mount for your bike? I got one and it

keeps shaking and rattling, so to get some

elastic bands— look at that!

Oh crap, it's holding down the lock

button. Don't look,

don't— wait. Can you

see? Don't look at my password.

I had the elastic band on the lock screen.

Okay, so it's pretty good. I've got the

screen playing back my stream so I can see

what's happening. I've got the chat so I

can see the chat.

Is everything okay for you guys?

Hopefully this stays on. I also got to

figure out a route to get out of town

because last time I got a bit lost.

Hopefully this stays on. I also got to

figure out a route to get out of town

because my sister came home. She brought

her kitten. It's so cute, so fluffy, and

it explores. It was exploring the whole

house. Going in and out everywhere. And

then it nearly fell asleep. I was playing

with it and then he was just standing up

with its chin on my knee, and then he just

kind of— it was like battery ran out and

then he started flopping over. Oh, the

other problem is the phone. It's not

really going to be a problem today because

I'm not doing a long stream.

But if I need extra battery, I need a

battery bank. Maybe I could like Velcro a

battery bank to the bike middle bit and

then— but I'm not really planning to do

another really long stream on a bike

again. This is probably going to be the

last bike stream before I go to Thailand.

Well, this looks pretty good. The only

problem I'm worrying about is, um,

when I cycle— what's angle gonna be like.

Also, the train station is all closed

today because they're on strike again.

Strikes again this month. So I couldn't

lock my bike where I usually lock it. I

had to lock it on this fence, which was a

bit scary, but it was still here when I

Okay, let's see. I'm interested to see if

it's gonna disconnect somewhere along the

road. I've got 2 bonded connections.

We've got nearly 10,000 kilobits of

bandwidth.

Okay, are we ready? Put on your seat

belts, guys. Wait, let me think, how am I

going to get out if I turn

Right, hook left, hook right. I can go

through the town center by sticking on the

Do you like my little phone? I'm going to

test out my phone mount. Let's see.

Whoa, okay, that's really secure. I'm

happy with that.

Okay, the GoPro is pointing down. Not

good. Not good. Wait,

let me adjust the strap a little bit.

Damn it, I hate when this happens.

Just have to pull the strap up higher.

Oh, I need this bit around my neck to be

I think I'm making it looser.

Do do do do.

Wait, which way do I pull it?

That's as tight as it goes.

Okay, let's try now.

How's that?

It's a bit better.

Can I go?

Oh, if I lean back It

should be a better angle.

Hold on, let me fix this angle.

It's just pointing down a little bit.

It's hard to avoid because when you cycle,

you naturally hunch over.

I'm not sure how to fix it.

And maybe if I pull the back bit down a

bit.

I want you guys to see what I'm seeing,

not the ground.

Daniel realized cycling is more fun than

driving. Yeah.

Driving's just a bit boring. Stuck in a

jam.

Whoa, I was looking at the screen.

She see I need to hit the car.

Connection's getting weird here.

Is it still looking okay?

Yeah, looking good.

Saturday morning in Maidstone.

Everyone's out shopping.

Shopping.

Cars are

so slow.

Go, go, go, go!

Actually,

I should have stuck in the left lane.

I'm a bit screwed now.

I should have

stuck in the left lane, actually. I don't

know why I went to the right lane,

because that's what he always made me do

on driving lessons.

They would say take up the right lane,

then move back into the left lane.

What does the clicking do? It changes

gear. It's a thumb gear.

This bike has 7 gears,

which is not many compared to a mountain

bike, which would have 6 gears.

But then it'll have 3 left gears too,

so I have like 18 gears. But this one has

which is fine.

It's just getting out of Maidstone is the

tricky bit. Once you're out of Maidstone—

whoa, what's happening?

What is happening?

Is it back? It was like

going all stretched and glitched.

Excuse me, I didn't have my breakfast

coffee. I didn't have a coffee

either.

So once we're outside of Maidstone,

it's not so scary.

Still looking okay.

When I was riding out from my house,

someone shouted something at me.

It sounded like hashtag something.

I don't know.

English people are weird. They just shout

random stuff at strangers.

Was it glitching again?

It wasn't doing that last time.

I'm a bit worried about the dongle inside

my bag being moved.

I don't

know why it does that.

10 miles per hour. This is a steep hill.

I think,

I think if I lose one connection because

it's using At the same time,

it won't disconnect. It'll— you— it'll

switch over to the other one, hopefully.

Oh,

Tesla.

Teslas are so nice.

Uh, let's say it's— I don't know what it's

Then pull over.

Wait, it says I still have 2 connections.

I don't know why it's doing that weird

thing.

I don't know why it's streaming at 1080p.

I feel like that's a bit too much.

I don't know how to lower the settings.

So I'm pretty sure I chose 1280 by 720p.

Is it 1080p?

Yeah, it's 1080p. Jesus,

why is this car not going?

I'm not looking at it when I'm riding,

it's just when I'm stopping.

This red car is never gonna go. Why is she

waiting?

That red car, it's there for like 5

When I can find a road that goes into a

country lane— oh look, Tesla!

Tesla's back.

Is it a Model 3?

Price of

petrol came down, £1.60.

Used to be about £2.

Oh,

it's doing the thing again.

Wow, this is— oh, it's actually better on

my phone. My phone didn't

do this.

It's like when I go really fast, it does

the glitch, but when I slow down— when

I slow down, it goes back to normal.

IRL streaming is so hard, trying to get

everything to work.

Going home,

country lane, take me home.

Hello.

La la la.

£2,000 streaming

setup,

£2,000 IRL backpack,

and this is the quality you get.

Do you think

using my arm helps pedal? Like this,

a fellow

cyclist.

Na na na na na na na na.

Can you hear the wind? I'm hoping it

sounds good at least. Oh.

It.

Hopefully when I'm streaming in the

streets of Bangkok It won't be as bad as

this, it'll be a lot better.

UK internet just sucks.

See, it's still

streaming. The thing is frozen.

It's like the footage freezes, but you can

still hear me. At least it's not

ending the stream and then saying I'm

Okay, let's stop here.

Why can't I change the, the quality

settings when I'm streaming. I don't get

it. Maybe I can.

My bum hurts.

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh,

let's see,

let me rest my bum.

Oh, it's so hot today. I'm wearing too

many layers.

Says I got 2 connections. LRT is on.

Zone is EU London.

Oh, sometimes it drops down to like 2

1,000 kilobits. Oh, now it's 700.

The hell?

It's fluctuating up and down quite a lot.

The sound is constantly okay.

Okay. That's good, I guess,

but I was hoping it would maintain a

steady connection. Look, now it's up

to 6,000 kilobits, but 2 seconds ago it

dropped down to 700, so it's

not very stable.

So it's not very stable,

I think. Where should we go?

Because last time I went round the

roundabout and I completely lost

connection. I'm not sure how to get into

the country lane bit.

It's still one stream so far.

If I could turn it down to make maybe 720p

instead of 1080p, it'd be a lot more

reliable, I think.

But how would you do that?

It says input 1080p.

I'll try and figure

out that when I get back home. It's too

hard to do on the road.

Go to Leeds Castle.

Well, inside of it.

Well, I made $22 so far on Twitch,

and I spent about $2,000 on my

IRL backpack. It cost £1,000

for the LiveU, and then I spent about £150

on battery banks. And I don't even know if

I can take all of the battery banks on my

plane. So apparently you can only have 2

battery banks up to a certain capacity.

I don't know if they'll let me take my

12-volt high-capacity battery charger,

which I need because it charges the LiveU.

And then I spent $450 on the bonding

service, £100 on 2 modems.

So it's like $2,000 in total for this,

and I made $22 on Twitch. So we

are making the money back, guys. It's

paying for itself.

Let's move out. It's a— it's an

investment. Investment. I also made $30

from the videos I edited for the main

channel that came from the first cycling

stream.

So we're making it back.

Uh, whenever I go fast, the video freezes,

but look, when I stop stop when I slow

down. Whoa,

I think when I slow down the video will

Am I right or wrong?

Well, So that van completely overreacted

going around me.

Yeah, look, I'm going slower now and the

video came back on. That's weird. Why does

me going fast make the video drop?

Let's go left. Should we go left?

I've never been left.

I don't know where left goes because we

have to go in a straight line, but if we

go left then right and then straight,

maybe we can get back. Oh, another Tesla.

And another Tesla. There's 2 Teslas in a

row. Well, we're over the M20.

Oh, this is Hollingbourne.

Oh yeah,

I don't know how the connection's gonna

do. In a village.

Actually, I don't know where this goes,

so I might turn back if I

can't go right.

Is it still streaming?

Whoa,

so many cars.

What is going on? Why is half the screen

white?

I can't see shit. Yeah, I don't know

what's happening.

It says I've got 5,000 kilos.

Bits. I don't know why it's

The sound is always fine. Yeah, I guess,

um, audio is quite low.

I mean, audio is a low amount

of data to be sending. Compared to 1080p.

I don't know if I should go back.

I might turn around because I don't know

where this road goes. It might take

us back to Maidstone.

Shut up.
