The Future of “Ride It” in “Wrench It”

Moving forward with information for riders, Ride It will begin taking on a stronger
role on my site. For years I have provided free maintenance tutorials which fell under the
Wrench It portion of the channel. I will still be making wrench it videos moving forward.
Ride It has always been a bit weak and unfortunately hasn’t offered riders much in the way
of being useful. We put some videos up of our adventures on the road and published riding
routes of some of those rides but they never really did much.
I have always wanted to teach prospective riders how to ride and do so safely. If you go
online there are hundreds of videos on riding safety, proper riding gear, and riding
techniques so I was apprehensive about moving to Ride It in that direction because of all the
other people already making those types of videos.
As I reviewed other instructor's videos I concluded there is a place for more of these types
of videos. My method of instruction might be presented in a manner that a rider could follow
more easily or understand better. Learning and instruction takes on many forms and
people learn from different methods of information delivery.

The future of Ride It is near! This spring we will begin publishing videos that
provide information on riding techniques, skills, safety, strategy, and anything other
content that might help riders be safer. I am very excited about doing this and am
hoping it will be helpful to the riding community.
