A friend of mine told me the great thing about a bike is that you move at the speed of observation. The more I think about that line the more I agree.

[@mattvanderwalt6220]

Yup. Its just 'that' speed.

[@larslarsen1149]

me peacefully commuting to work observing the fresh snow...THEN I observed a large angry dog charging at me full speed. That certainly is the speed of observation.

[@JakeLuke308]

@@larslarsen1149 As the disclaimer says "...your results may vary"

[@holke79]

It literally changed the way I experienced going through my city.

[@neoneherefrom5836]

At my speed all I’m observing are things that can make me crash

[@Freemindtom]

I watch this short video and immediately the world looks better. This guy has the joy of life in his eyes. And he doesn't need a $15,000 bike for that...

[@Davidesrajohn]

I truly aspire to be like this. A bearded weirdo (in the best way) shredding through the woods on a steel bike. No carbon. No spandex. No Strava. Just quality components, fresh air and all the joy in the world.

[@topbanana3413]

This could've gone on forever!

[@chris4536]

It does

[@johangronqvist2514]

@2:30 Friluftsliv means outdoor life in Swedish.

[@matthewfreeman530]

The dude comes ripping into the forest, mulches it, and leaves!!!

[@joshhan]

mulches it and "leafs"

[@Puskas04]

Ronnie has such a great vibe!!!

[@alfaubrom]

Everything that I embraced in my early twenties an somehow got kinda knocked out of me through the fog off life, is an has returned as this Mans approach echoes an reminds me of that original ethos. Cheers Ronnie

[@pchykins6680]

Riding a bike is the best form of stress reliever, for me at least...it doesn't matter what bike, even if it's the cheapest out there, for as long as you love riding it, then it's golden.

[@phlufff_fxd]

I love the quote of cycling being as close man will get to flying! Pure freedom with a sense of direction, even when there is none

[@TheBirchCreek]

what about paragliding :)

[@whitneyb.8185]

He’s quoting Robin Williams.

[@mray8519]

OMG, can I ever relate. As a kid my first real bike was my escape. Fifty five years later I’m still in love with bicycling. Only now it’s not escape but exploring and being out in nature.

[@AmirRosenzweig]

Amazing production! Showing the pure and true state of this man's love for Freedom and Cycling. Top notch!

[@mikekilburn3552]

Great video and the jam in the background was great as well. I'm 43 yr young and all i do is ride. I built a trailer to haul lawn mowers for summer people in town hire be because I won't give into a car again and they think I'm nuts 😜

[@brucejones8749]

Some people dream ,while others live!! Hats off to you my friend 😁

[@peterhannl7834]

That is so beautiful to see humans live and speak emotionally and in colors!

[@CallinSICK]

Truly a work of art, Ronaldo. May Matthew McConaughey’s light shine upon you.

[@Edgar_84]

That‘s some crazy skills and speed on a rigid bike right there. Ronnie lives in a really heavenly place, very beautiful nature.

[@chihoadao]

Man this dude be riding a full on mtb trail with a steel vintage bike, cantilever brake and no suspension and still manage to hit all the jump and stuff..... legend

[@derek2gloves]

Sending it in the woods on that bike absolute legend

[@toolscarriagesmodellbauand7246]

Great little video. Tnanks for that an for your quots. Best wishes from Germany

[@haynsie]

I've self-prescribed a set of Ron's Orthopedic Back Bars. Cannot wait!

[@BurtoniousPrime]

This man is THE MAN!! Coolest dude!

[@sasha_nivar]

i loved everything about this video

[@UweGranzowfilms]

"Nach alter Väter Sitte!" Thanks for sharing!

[@sarmak87]

I vibe with this dudes style so much. Also my current WIP bicycle is basically his current daily rider. Life long BMXer who loves single speed mashing and roasting!

[@willisradreisen5894]

What a great video, you made. And thanks for your quots. Best wishes from germany

[@kawabus]

So analog, luv it 🚴✨✨

Once the GOAT always the GOAT.

[@steveford4498]

Super in tune with riding, get out there every day if you can to feel the flow, choose the path makes me smile too.

[@PinkyFingerPedalStrike]

What a beautiful film 😍 Absolutely inspirational 👏

[@thetalkingfly]

good vibes! thanks for sharing the stoke!

[@derb7462]

I have 4 project bikes already, now I see him with his clunker and ....I NEED ONE ! F*CK!

[@pjb4653]

Real People are the bestest 🤘😎🇺🇸 keep on truckin / biking...

[@samtynan7734]

I thought it was a spoof at the beginning but what a great reminder to "just to go ride your bike."

[@carter98ish]

Seeing this so far from my home biome. It's good to see it here.

[@johnbrame3023]

Totally agree, I love bikes 😍

[@stevenr5149]

Feeling of flight? I now have a silent rear hub. Now, I really feel like I am flying when I glide. In the forest, I don't feel like an intruder. Not the lightest hub-but so so smooth. Don't ever want to go back. Best holiday wishes.

[@chris4536]

Vesper?

[@stevenr5149]

@@chris4536 yes

[@tuckerscorey4772]

This explained the feeling perfectly. Beautiful video❤

Bravo!

Thank you Ronnie 🌹🧡🌹🧡🌹🧡

[@megababoon3279]

I agree with this dude 100%

[@domingonavarro1288]

Joy. That’s the feeling when riding a good, well fitting bicycle.

[@Xavier_Ns]

That bike is so nice I should get one like that

[@tmagee27]

That's one of his own models with Crust, you can get something vintage for probably less if you look around, but his is a mix between the Specialized M2 Stupjumper and the Yeti FRO amongst other influences. It's built by one of the Yeti frame builders from when they were a small independent. I disagree with him on aluminium, but he's also far taller and slimmer than me and he makes some good arguments for his choices. Plus my few dealings with him and his partner have been very pleasant. I think he really is the nice, goofy guy with the ironic dad jokes you see on camera, it's not just an act and that's kinda refreshing.

[@s_han.e]

I did not expect this man and that bike to ride so hard.

[@HeadwatersKayak]

So romantic about the bikes and then jumps into a cheap plastic canoe with a double bladed paddle. Someone needs to get Ronnie in a proper canoe.

[@1111757]

I'm so absolutely in love with this guy

[@bennettshfd2]

Love it!

[@hansblitz7770]

Nice scenery.

[@matthewbyron7676]

anyone know where to get these shorts ?? 🔥

[@SuzyChapsticksArmy]

really cool. plus the gold accents on the Crust is sano

[@LukeGyver]

Lovin it, what a great short film.

Story telling 💯 Keep flying guys 🚲 🕊️

[@TristWallace]

Loved this

[@Curbsandtrails]

I love this

[@al-du6lb]

I would say skiing or riding pow is even more like flying, but damn I love riding my bike.

[@Richrr119]

Meget fine filmer, Amundsen! Keep up the good work

[@nayr497]

Ronnie is a treasure, no doubt. Yup, everyone would be better of if they rode bicycles more. People, the planet, our communities, our cities. I'd love to find a way to unite all bike-ped folks and push for better/safer infrastucture in the U.S. Ronnie gets it.

[@migzz7976]

Bike loving and appreciation videos are so cool. Need those shorts😂

[@JAMESKEEPTRYING]

I needed this

[@chadkline4268]

Nice philosophies 😊👍

[@charlieruss2128]

Where can I get a vest like that?

[@Ziptietechnician]

Ripping with those bars.

[@cycgeist]

I feel like he spreads the love for *just* riding (still very nice bikes, quality parts)

[@petes_shuttles]

The man, the myth, the legend- what can you say?

Your lucky you got hair, but I know the feeling of a good bike ride

I love this guy haha

[@bentrider]

I can relate 😊

[@solb101]

Does Monsieur Romance wear wax canvas shorts?

[@kieftoker]

respect

[@eddieallen6401]

This is like the sequel to the one you did with Spesh. I was waiting for the death metal and it never came. Splendid nonetheless.

Ron dogg rlly shredding there at the end.

What handlebar are these ?

Amen!

help, what kind of music is playing at the beginning? Thanks a lot 0:42 0:05

Guys handle bars like that but for a 31.8 stem? I have a ritchey kyote but I woul like more back sweep

[@edscoble]

Sincerely appreciate the open captioning! Make it so much easier for us to watch! I’d recommend using closed captioning as it mean anyone can choose to auto translate it in a different languages thus broadening your audience!

this guy is so cool
