biking and talking

Testing.

Can you hear me? I've got a new idea

I've got a new idea today.

So is the quality good or the same

or worse?

I could see your little toad. What are you

talking about? So I found out something

pretty cool yesterday, you know. With the

LiveU Solo, the main thing about it is the

way you can bond different SIM cards and

connections to make one stronger

connection. I found out you can actually

do that on your phone using a service

called Speedify, and I bought Speedify

1-year package for £70,

and you can, you can bond your Wi-Fi

hotspot and your SIM card together, which

is what I'm doing now. So I'm bonding the

SIM card plus my Wi-Fi modem

dongle thing. So I've got 2 connections

right now from my phone,

and it seems pretty good. Usually when I

try and stream outside my house, it really

sucks. So either this is better than LiveU

Solo and I just wasted £1,400 on LiveU

Solo and the LRT bonding service, Or this

sucks and I didn't waste my money.

So we'll have to see.

Gonna do a quick bike trip up to the

petrol station, up the A20, and then

maybe— date this week.

Um, I hope that didn't dox my— well, I

don't really have much time left in the

UK, so I've got to test this stuff out

quickly. Just because it costs a

lot doesn't mean it's good. Yeah, I know,

it's so annoying. I spent all that money

on the LiveU Solo and the LRT bonding

thing, and remember last cycle stream?

Every time I went faster than 15 miles per

hour, the stupid thing went all glitched

and stretched out,

and that didn't happen when I only used

one connection before I bought the second

Wi-Fi dongle.

And it was such a pain having to carry the

LiveU Solo and plug it into my GoPro and

plug it into a battery bank and plug in

the dongles. So I'm going to try out this

phone setup with Speedify. So right now

I've got my, my unlimited data SIM plus

that dongle thing connected to my phone

and it's being bonded using Speedify. I

don't know if it's gonna work.

Testing. Connected to my phone and it's

being— I've seen

that some people use this kind of cheaper

setup instead of the LiveU, like that

RobCD guy in Japan. He uses Jetson Nano.

Well, I don't know what that is, kind of

Raspberry Pi. I think he uses Speedify as

well. So you can make like an IRL backpack

for under $200 if you get a Raspberry Pi

and Speedify, and then I don't know why

they use a Raspberry Pi instead of just

from your phone. I think the Raspberry Pi,

you can have more than 2 connections with

Speedify. I don't know. So I'm

gonna just do simple phone setup like

that. I'm not gonna put this here on the

handlebar again because I realized that

it's kind of dangerous. I was trying to

look at the the replay of the livestream

while cycling. I nearly rode into the back

of a car last time, and I can't read the

chat anyway because it's so small and I

kind of have to bend down and stare at it,

and that's not great when you're cycling.

So when I check the stream, I'm just gonna

stop and then pull out my phone from my

And then we also test— do you like that

bottom right thing?

Is that

Lag testing. Is that okay?

Have a question before you bike. Okay,

lag.

Uh, looks like the quality is dropping a

What was I gonna say? Oh yeah, we're gonna

test out, see what happens when I go fast,

if it's gonna still— because when I did

the first phone stream, even when I went

fast, it still streamed the video.

Why do you add the chat on the screen? I

don't know, I thought it would be funny.

Should I get rid of it?

Have I heard of the sprinting pill? No.

Oh, my kilobits per second is dropping

down to 800.

Why would that be? Let me see.

Um, it says I'm still connected to 2

connections.

Don't know. That's going

back up now.

That's going back up now. Anyway,

let's get ready. I'm gonna fold the phone

and then put it into my bag strap like

before. Actually, I'll get rid of the

events thing. It looks ugly.

And Move the chat over a bit.

It also drains my battery pretty quickly,

this bonding thing.

Into the bear strap. Why is

it so tight? Get in there.

Then.

Yeah, it's working. So how's the view?

I mean, the camera angle. I think it's

fine. It's better than the GoPro that

kept— for some reason the phone stays in a

better position. I've got my trusty

USB cable here. I might plug that in now.

See if it's charging. I don't know. Oh

yeah, it's charging. Good thing it's got

that little front screen so I don't have

to unfold it every time.

See if it's charging. I don't know. Oh

yeah, it's charging. Bike test stream

012,

Monday 3rd of October, using Speedify

bonding service using 2K.

Let's go. I think we go left

this time.

We'll go left up to the petrol station.

I'll do a quick check, see if it's

working.

Fly went in my mouth.

And then we'll go up towards Ashford

and see how that works. The plan

for today, let me

check.

Oh my God.

Hey.

Testing.

Are you sure it's working? This is not

working on my Twitch thing.

Look, it's just black on my Twitch app.

Why?

Huh?

Oh, it is,

it is streaming.

That's weird.

It doesn't do anything when I press play.

It doesn't work when cycling.

I don't know what's— oh, it is kind of

working. It looks really bad.

Why is it so bad looking?

Let me go further down this road.

Maybe I'll get a better connection up

I have no idea if it's working.

I don't get it. It was working fine at my

Oh, maybe I

should go onto the footpath.

Testing, testing. This is—

okay,

let's stop up

50 miles per hour.

Let's stop here.

Oh, fuck, I nearly fell over.

Jesus.

Oh my God.

Ow! Did you see me nearly fall over? The

curb was way higher than I thought it was.

Oh my God.

The stupid curb was higher than I thought

it was, and then the back wheel got stuck

trying to go over it.

Was that streaming? Oh, please tell me

that was recorded. I want to get a clip.

I nearly fell over.

I don't know if you could clip that.

Like, you can't rewind on Twitch.

Well, it seems like it's streaming now.

Oh, that was scary! I nearly dropped the

bike and fell off. Somehow I managed to

stop it from falling over by put— I think

I put my foot down on the ground to stop

it. Hurt a little bit.

Ambulance is coming already.

I can't believe I nearly fell over.

It's embarrassing.

So the reason why I go on these big roads

is because the connection is usually

better,

but it doesn't seem very good today.

Maybe the live view is better.

Maybe I'll go left.

Where's Google Maps?

If I go left, where does it take me?

Oh, it can go to that white cross on the

field if we go forwards a bit more.

Yeah, this looks way worse than the live

We're not really going to post anything

or go anywhere, just gonna test out

Because it's supposed to be bonding my two

connections on my phone.

Curbs are scary. Going— trying to

go up a curb always scares me

because you might get the front wheel

over, but then the back wheel Doesn't

go over, and it kind of gets stuck,

and then the bike does like a skid over

I must have looked so dumb.

La la la la la. Look, that footpath is so

bad. People keep saying, "Why does

Daniel ride on the road?" Because the

footpath is all covered in bumps and

twigs and stuff, and weird

fruit. It's covered in berries and

nuts. Wait, we need to. Turn left.

Did we go past it? There should have been

a road that goes left.

I don't know, there's one coming up ahead.

This might be a pretty short trip because

if this thing sucks,

then I don't want to waste too much time.

I've got to get back home to get my Switch

OLED. My Switch OLED's coming today,

said between 5 PM and 10 PM.

I still can't figure out a good stream. I

like the phone because it's simple, but

the live view seems better,

but it's more complicated. Plus it does

that weird thing When I go faster than 50

miles per hour.

Well, what are those? Tractors?

Whoa! What is that?

A tricycle thing. It had like a had one

wheel in the front. Okay, let's stop here.

I've got no confidence in this.

I feel like it's not even streaming half

the time. That was the weirdest tractor

It seems like it's streaming. The quality

is way worse than the live view.

Did you see that crac— cractor? I mean

tractor.

It had 3 wheels, a big fat one in

the front. I'll go up this country

road, see what the connection is like.

At least it's peaceful.

It might be fine.

A lot of flies here. What the

hell? It's like a cloud of flies.

Oh, oh, what is all this? It's all

this stuff in the air. Oh, they're flies.

Tiny little flies.

Is it streaming?

Oh my God, this is the worst. Oh, it is

streaming.

Is it streaming?

There are little flies everywhere.

Seems okay.

Keep going.

The weirdest thing is when

I tried to play back the stream on my

phone— yeah,

this looks crap. Uh, I wasted my money

again. I think I prefer the live view.

What if we go home, get the live view?

No, I don't want to go home and come back

out again. Well, at least— I

don't know, when I go fast, does it still

stream? I'm not going very fast now,

going 20, 18 kilometers per hour.

Streaming stuff's hard.

Why is this road going to the right? I

want to go left. Where is it

taking me?

Look, it keeps pausing the playback.

North Downs.

It looks like the quality gets worse the

faster I go on this as well.

So what do you think, this or the live

view with the GoPro?

So what do you think, this or the live

view? This road is going left

It's quite a nice road. The lines look

quite fresh. They're not faded.

It's really smooth as well. There's no

potholes at all.

Wow,

nearly broke my foot. Wow, look at the

view. Wow.

I want to see if the quality gets better

when I stop.

It's funny how empty Kent is.

There's a bird just hovering like a

helicopter.

Kent is so empty and peaceful.

It's like all the problems in the world

don't exist here. Inflation, war,

disease— it's like you wouldn't even know

that any of that is happening. The trees

are just being trees and the grass just

being grass. The wind is blowing.

Trees are

just being trees. Things just existing.

Yeah, it definitely gets better when I

stand still.

Whoops.

It's like my phone is, um,

struggling to play my stream.

It's like my phone— I have

to check later. Let's keep going.

This is what happens when you stop and you

don't put it back down to a lower gear.

It's hard to move off. I can't move off.

I need 2 hands.

It's like stopping on a hill in a high

gear. Imagine doing that in a car.

You'd stall the engine. I mean,

just now is basically me stalling my

engine because I stopped in a high gear.

My legs aren't powerful enough to push off

again. It's basically what happens in a

car, isn't it, when it stalls? There's not

enough power being put out because

the gear hasn't been put back to first

gear. It's kind of the same, isn't it?

Cars and legs.

You put petrol into a car and then you put

liquids into a human.

What gives a human more energy, water or

So I think a human could last longer

cycling just on water compared to no water

but just food. Give him some dry biscuits,

only dry biscuits.

But then petrol isn't just liquid, it's

got petrol in it, so it's not a fair

comparison to just give him water. Give

him like a hule. A hule?

I've never been up here before.

At some point I would like to turn left.

Is it

streaming?
