The Raven takes flight (my new bike in the first 2 weeks)

I put together some scenes from riding my new (2-weeks-old) Carbent Raven. It's been a blast so far.

Hey! Great to find your youtube channel! I met you and your son at the Cool Breeze Ride. Looks like you are loving the Raven!

@dregerclock Hi there, Glenn. Yeah, wasn't the Cool Breeze ride a blast? The more comfortable I get on the Raven, the more I'm enjoying it. See you on the roads.

@redosoable - are you planning to do any touring on the Carbent... or will your other bike still be your tour bike?

[redosoable]

@dregerclock The Speedmachine will remain my touring bike (if by touring, you mean loaded down with 40 pounds of camping equipment) as well as my main commuting-to-work bike. The Raven will be my main bike for long day rides, group rides, and most serious mountain climbing. I love them both--for different purposes.

I see that you've convinced Geoffrey to (at least occasionally) wear a helmet.

Nice music! I detected Mr. Irvine's style even before the singing began.

Respond to this video... Is that you, Jonathan? I didn't have to convince Geoffrey--it was required by the ride organizers.

@redosoable Yes, I've been following your cycling adventures. Keep up the good work.
