You have done good service by projecting such an area which is not so common for visitors to Korea

Dear, Thanks for your video on Jindo Island. Certainly its a good work. I appreciate.

This is nice in a lot of ways. It needs to get in front of more viewers. It'll be there gain. Congratulations...

I was considering buying different shoes for riding my bike. Not special “bike shoes”, just something comfortable with good ventilation. Then I smacked a couple tree roots and small stumps on the trail, but wasn’t injured because I was wearing my steel toed work boots. So work boots it is😁 I like the Raceface Ride, and the Odessey Twisted pedals myself. But if the flat budget pedals on my budget bikes are functional, they don’t get replaced. I have a few different bikes with only one costing beyond a thousand dollars. It’s definitely a better quality bike. But I’ve found that I ride the budget bikes more often and the enjoyment isn’t any less because the price tag was less. Happy motoring 🐅

Man, I miss Tom Petty.

You got me hooked. I enjoy flat pedals. I had a pair of cheap running shoes that hugged those pedal. Have a awesome week 😊

😂😅🤣🤣🤣😜🤪😝 very very right my friend

It’s not just cycling it’s everything. Lots of things can be done cheaply but the world has us convinced it’s never good enough

When you just ride with flat pedals and in regular clothes, it's so much quicker to hop on the bike and go for a ride. I buy cheap tshirts from discount stores because they're super thin and airy. The fanciest item I have is my Rx sunglasses ($40 from Zenni).

I got sea sick watching.

I agree that we don't need to spend much to ride. I often find my favorite/best rides are in shorts, flip-flops, and a cotton t shirt. But I've put up with so many bugs and too much wind in my eyes that I now always wear my $150 cycling sunglasses. I tried a knock-off version of them too but they were garabage.

Hahahaaaa! I totally agree, but I have so, so much more fun with it. Let me tell you a story, its all about the fun on my old commuter. I'm very fortunate to have built up & dialled in a small 1st rate collection mint, over the many years, each uncompromisingly specific to its purpose. I have a historically significant vintage '77 Fritz Fleck Flema Campionissimo, a 2017 steel AWOL bike packing trails, & 3 pure roadsters all absolute rippers. A 2004 Piave Sestrieres dedicated hill climber 5.1 kgs, a "97 Cannondale CAAD3 R1000 on full Dura Ace 7700 (9spd) close ratio flat racer, & the commuter that this story is about. Its '97 CAAD 3, on full Dura Ace 7800 with Dura Ace 7900 C24 (10 spd) wheelset, Continental GP4000 tyres, Racelight tubes, 150 gms saddle, 150 gms toeclip pedals, etc. I think it weighs about 6.25 kgs, but here's the kicker, I removed all of the decals so that it just looks plain ancient old black, with polished alloy, & the deceptive cherry on top is the empty 4 ltr Ortlieb frame bag. Of course I ride in ordinary clothes too, very uncool industrial sunnies, the lot. I'm over 70 now, & live in ultra chic academic, doctor, dentist, barrister central ground zero. They spend huge on larping out their short lived Tour de fantasies, at least until the reality becomes apparent, then they hang up the 20/30/40 thousand dollar investment in the garage until someone like me comes along to score bigly. eg just recently I got a brand new, unused DT Swiss PR1400 Oxic 25mm rim profile wheelset, 240 hubs 36T engagement, with a brand new unused Dura Ace 7800 (10 spd) cassette, & 2 ditto new Schwalbe Pro 1 tyres, all for $440 Aussie. That aspiring cyclist must have paid over $4000 for that little lot. So weekends, if the weather is perfect, & it mostly is in Western Australia, I go hunting for fun. I lay in wait for the so very pro looking fully fake sponsored peletons of overweight & unfit professionals, all looking so serious & riding wheel to wheel at a snail's pace between the cafes, & then the fun really begins. Sometimes I'll pretend to try to join in at the cafes, where they make their disgust so nakedly obvious, but sheer snobbery is beer & nuts to me, & of those especially I love to utterly demoralise. I only ever once regretted it, & sought to make amends because the chap turned out to be a good man who just had no clue. It happened on a steep climb, I was alongside urging him to pedal harder, in very much the wrong gear, his cadence was down to about 10 rpm, his heart rate was through the roof etc. He is a local doctor, 20+kgs overweight & I thought he was about to have a heart attack. Seriously. Anyway as soon as I realised my mistake I pulled him up & got him stabilised, after which I gave him the info he needed to hear. It emerged that he was riding his first bike, usual story cash rich, time poor, he wasn't a wanabe, he was just a hardworking chap in his mid to late 30s who wanted to get a grip on his health. No time to research, he just bought what he was told was the best, guided by a rapacious sales & marketing gang. So he bought this Willier Triestina with all the crummy fruit. Poor carbon, hydro disk, electronic shifting, aero everything, a poor fit, 8 & 1/2 kg, the whole lethal lot with mega dollar service costs thrown in. One of his first responses was, " I've just paid $28,000 for this bike, & now you're telling me that I have to pay more to change the gearing?" Anyway he began to listen, so I told him about the industry, basic diet & energy management info, how to build up to fitness gradually, & the basics of bicycle generally. Just enough to get him started right, I hope.

You must have a lot of time on your hands........

My experience with TPU tubes was similar to yours, but the ones that failed were cheap, no name brands. But I've been lucky with the pink ones made by Ridenow. But they cost 2X more than a butyl rubber tube at $10 a piece but still cheaper than the name brands like Tubalito and Victoria. To me, it's worth it due to the space savings. You just have to monitor the pressure every time you ride. I switched to Panaracer Gravelking SS plus tires with better flat protection, and since then, I have never had a flat.

Seems like these are best for carrying a spare tube when weight and space might be an issue. Or for someone in competition when every gram counts. I’ll probably try a couple as spares just to be familiar with them. I’m conscious of saving some weight here and there, but chasing grams isn’t a priority for my riding style.

Truth

I just did 130km on my bike, 30 more than my previous biggest day. All of these tips helped. Thankfully i'd watched enough KZbin before setting out!

my father always said you can be a genius but as far as common sense is concerned you don't have a brain in your head

I was in a bike lane that was too narrow for cars. You wouldn't expect any motorized traffic to use that lane but a motorcyclist decided to hop into the bike lane to skip through traffic and hit me head on. I had no time to react and got a concussion bad enough that I could not remember the collision. If I had not had a helmet on I may have had severe head trauma. I will never ride even two blocks without a helmet.

Just had my first puncture with a RideNow TPU tube. Switched it out and back home I patched it with a Parktool GP-2 patch. No need to use sandpaper (only use that on butyl tubes). Seems to be holding up very well so far. According to Parktool, the GP2 patch can be used on Schwalbe Aerothan TPU tubes, so I don't see why it wouldn't work on any other TPU tubes.

My RideNow TPU's are going on 5000km without a puncture on my gravel bike, so that's 10000km if we're counting both wheels… What's especially awesome is the fact that I don't have to worry so much how many spares I take on multi-day adventures, because they weigh nothing and don't take up much space. I bought like 6 of them at once and paid around €5 each, so for my case, they're actually about the same cost as butyl.

I have a lot of experience with TPU tubes. The ones that,weigh 36 g are good. But make sure they have white valve stems. Lighter ones and all of the ones with black valve stems are problematic. RideNow sells the 36 g ones. The 36 g recommendation is especially important for rim brakes.

i personally only use TPU on the back for emergency. daily ride i use butyl on the rear wheel. but for front wheel TPU is not a problem.

Hi! TPU material don't work with cement (glue) & vulcanizing patches for butyl tubes. For patching TPU tubes, you only need 'polyurethane glue'. It is a pretty simple item, and you can find it in every hardware store. Just ask for glue for soft plastics and double-check if it says polyurethane glue. It should cost just a few bucks. Here are some examples: TechnicQll Soft Plastic Glue Rema Tip-Top 5522208 Camplast Cement But there are many generic substitutes. I am using the first one, but I don't know if it is available worldwide. For patches, just cut an old sacrificial TPU tube. Such a repair is, in my experience, pretty much permanent.

Sue the tech companies and turn internet platforms into egalitarian public utilities or continue to be moronic conditioned bitches of cointelpro.

I always ride with a bike computer.. It tells me my (breadcrumb) route and how long/far I have to go. It doesn't display other metrics.. Not so much because I decided that, but it just can't 🙂 (Garmin edge 200, cheapest gps navigation thingy I could find back then) It's so relaxing being able to ride everywhere without the feeling of being lost. As long as I am on (or even near) the track I uploaded I am exactly where I want to be. As for drinking.. I find I have to force myself to drink because my body doesn't tell me to. Only when it's too late (cramps, headaches...). That's one way my sugarwater helps, because at least there's water in there and I rinse my mouth after every drink or solid food. (from the other, plain water bottle or indeed my hydration bladder)

This is not his voice

taking it easy with 25 kph.. ouch that hurts. I have to really try to get that average. Anyways I like fueling with a big bidon filled with sugarwater. Plain table sugar, some salt, some syrup (lemon) and water. I aim for half of what I need ( which seems to be 50 gram per hour) in sugar and the other half in something like homemade oatmeal/yoghurt cake (or some cookies or muesli bars or whatever.. carb heaavy)

Apart from enjoying myself during a ride I also feel a sense of accomplishment. Plus every (long) ride is an adventure which starts with the planning. Even my usual short ride (1 hour).

A lot of the same reasons. I do it because I love it. I’m happiest on the bike . Also cycling for mental and physical health . Like this channel. Thank you

I just found your channel. This is my fourth video to watch . I really like your channel. It is very relatable. ❤ 🚲 ❤️ 🚲 ❤

One of my favorites... thank you! Still resonates today.

I just ride.

Im doing the Norfolk epic sportive soon...I love long rides...its more of an adventure,than just exercise alone..😊

Very good... Tip#5 by you (mini goals) though is in conflict with well researched human and animal psychology. It is well proven that if there is intermediate goal of mini goal along longer task, its existence diminishes overall effort and ability. This is from deeply ingrained instincts which maybe some Navy Seals may train out of themselves but for most people it will hold. (Simple experiment on rats: there is food at the end of corridor, rat must pull resisting spring to reach it. If that is the only goal, rat provides constant effort up to the food. Now put one (or more) open doorways on the same way, "mini goals". Rat will pull with same effort at first but diminish as approaching each doorway, restarting after...)

I agree with your 2 over Paul de Vivie’s 5 😅

If being a genius is to see things as they are, not as they've been taught or told to be, and the boy has not yet been taught or told about the ocean, then how is he a genius?

Wow! So so so profound!!!!!!! Ya right….🤷🏻‍♂️

Wise advice. Great composition of b-roll, sagacious voiced narrator, and mellow Spanish flavored guitar music. Beautiful!

Dross…great word that.

"This too shall pass"... gold.

This video sums up exactly my ways and thoughts on cycling, although, due to the immense joy I feel whilst doing it I often forget to eat regularly. But I've just discovered that my Garmin has an "eat alert" alarm, so no more bonking due to happiness 😁🍌🥪🍰🍼

Start before dawn. Ride with the wind. Recognize something special each hour. Be thankful as you arrive.

Good tips! Nothing makes me feel more alive than cycling.
