Catching up w/ Amelia | fixedgear

[@slon911]

Amelia is very chill and so is her setup but she also absolutely rips

[@tarstarkusz]

She took a perfectly good bike and made it much less efficient.

[@markvaks4216]

Thank you Amelia and Terry... That was a great session. Enjoy the rest of your stay...

[@seanus]

Tracks bikes and existentialism, what a great video.

[@lolishtortoise]

Absolutely great setting and idea to have this profound conversation and interview in the flow of simply riding a bike, exploring a little part of the city "en passant". Amelia has a very thoughtful and wholesome mindset imho. Thank you two!

[@shotbull]

Such a nice format of riding interview, it was entertaining and also had a valuable talk. Congrats you both

[@ridethroughlifertl]

She's pretty spot-on about relationships. I've been single for 6 years, incredibly lonely, etc...and it kills me. I ride my bike to feel good.

[@derekholgate6345]

That bike just glides along, you can see it's a pleasure to ride

[@ttbmg]

Awesome! There is something special about bicycles and those who love to ride them Terry is always able to capture that essence😎👌

[@bike.breath]

Loved this chill commentary! Also that Weis is gorgeous! Great vid ❤️❤️❤️

[@bertkreft9689]

the meaning of live is riding - riding a wavy line through every place - making it a piece of art exactly like this video 👍

[@raymondski1954]

An absolute enriching and thoughtful view of normality in the life of riding a bike. PLeasant reversal of the madness; the OTHER SIDE of Terry B. More productions like this !!!

[@annieetc.563]

love this video format!

[@TheRobertlonski]

Great video, the Subject and Videographer were outstanding. Tokyo also provided an amazing backdrop.

[@TerryB]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@dullbrass]

That bike really fits her, doesn't it.

[@kenlong5033]

Great rolling interview. Learned a lot. And a "Rockin 1000" bicycle Amelia had. Love the seat stays.

[@benjaminrosich]

What up Glad to see you all having fun out there 😁

[@rogerhart612]

Awesome video with Amelia. Love this style of video.

[@derekholgate6345]

Interesting, it looks like the frame had to be pushed in on the drive side to accommodate the crank arm for clearance when peddling. Reminds me of my sram omnium, I had to purchase a new frame, as my current didn't fit.

[@あおきさん-t8t]

Riding a WEIS is not just a means of transportation; it is a philosophy and a way of belonging to a community. A significant factor lies in the inability to physically equip brakes. In Japan, riding brakeless bicycles is illegal, and doing so inherently challenges one's personal philosophy. Only those who can find their own answer to this challenge are permitted to ride a WEIS.

[@Cinelliguerciotti]

Well spoken. Good morals. Nice one Terry and Amelia. Bike is life.

[@marcguerino5645]

That's an absolutely sick bike! I'm not even a road guy but it's making me really want a slick road bike lol

[@dan_does_nothing]

Awesome video. Subbed and about to binge 🤙

[@nvsmike250]

man that's one bad ass bike.

[@taz1109]

People just have their bikes parked outside buildings with no fear of it being stolen 🤯🤯

[@anthonyhunt146]

When I was there I saw that some had these little brake locks on the wheel. But in general, yeah, nothing like the US in terms of theft concerns.

[@sommelierofstench]

pretty sure bikes are registered over there like cars are

[@KojiStowe]

@@sommelierofstenchYeah, all bikes need to be registered.

[@rondalton4923]

Nice to get to know you Amelia. You are an All World Betty!

[@redm0u5e]

an inspiring start to the day.

[@niceup1177]

Well spoken! Good stuff 👏

[@ClareEiluned]

It's gotta be awesome to ride bikes on roads with no on street parking!

[@jahithber1430]

That is a nice looking bike

[@ocaoby1795]

Note: The bicycle is prohibited to be ridden on public roads in Japan because it is not equipped with a caliper or disc braking system. Please stop riding or add a braking system immediately as it is against the Road Traffic Law. You are not allowed to use the pedals to control the wheels for braking on public roads. If you continue to ride, you will probably be stopped by the police on the road and forcibly suspended for violating the law. You may be arrested. Incidentally, Nike was heavily criticized for advertising a bike with this specification for riding on public roads, and since then, no business related to fixed bikes has been allowed in Japan.

[@aquilonianace4791]

Loved the riding and talking. More like this if you are inclined to

[@manwithnoname6580]

Check out his videos with Aiyana Taylor, great vids and she’s a super cool cyclist 😎

[@Tweakerpad]

Frame color is so sick

[@mikejmcfarlane]

Really though provoking conversation, hope to meet you on the road some time Amelia

[@herbbert82]

what a nice moodpiece. Relateable cuteness overload with you both hot humans!

[@Alioune818]

Super sick bike 🔥🔥 and now we need Toni hotline in Tokyo

[@al-du6lb]

I've never been to japan, but I've always got the sense that the japanese are a superior people in a lot of ways.

[@meelz812]

Amelia seems really cool

[@user-ve3gh5xg9q]

Amelia where is your bike 🪖😱

[@randomoto928]

@20:50 Preach it!

[@ТурДеВако]

[@illegally7]

Straps are inserted to pedals/cages in opposite way 😢

[@Alexaintnowifey]

Big swoon . Thanks for sharing !!

[@haemstah]

Was that a 2000GT at 3:26?😳

[@Pi03k]

dope convo

[@sneekz07]

Why does she think she is above Japan law. Just mount the brakes and don't use them.

[@VladimirYanovsky]

We wanna more videos with Amelia!

[@NoCarNancy]

No brakes on these type of bike?

[@urbanbikess]

Bike shines, love it!

[@JonathanNomad]

dope rig!

[@benjaminrosich]

Super sweet bike

[@TerryB]

Very nice!

[@alicecoetzee525]

Aren't there any car in this city ?

[@markday1714]

stellar content!! art! thanks

[@タモリモリタ-Did-U-get-a-haircut]

そのピストはどこで買ったんでしょうか？詳しく教えて下さい それとキャノンボールは何日の何時ころに出発予定ですか？

[@juaoose]

is this from a pocket 3 ? :O

[@Schulazo]

damn i want that frame

[@TuesdaysTurn]

Beautiful bike!!

[@vadimtitenkov]

никого не смущает трещина на раме в районе подсидельного зажима?

[@basedhalcyon]

Amelia, you're really cool. Do you fw dudes who ride (steel) gravel bikes

[@souprememc]

Weis is one of my fav bikes, but this colorway def not so much. But cool vid.

[@Roger-bl1ve]

Nice bike Amelia 🙂

[@mybuickskill6979]

Good video 🤗

[@hondarakunta8341]

Rich people can afford that frame. Here in Japan for American people everything must be so cheap, please enjoy staying in Japan.

[@SHADETREE666]

Totally with you on retiring the penny. Most other countries have done away with their one cent counterparts, we should do likewise. I once read that it costs 3 cents to make one penny, no wonder we have such a ridiculous deficit.

[@Sqwelch]

lmao, it also costs 3 cents to make a dollar bill... Edit: and 9 cents to make a hundred dollar bill 😀

[@SHADETREE666]

We live in strange times

[@MongoosePreservationSociety]

excellent tb

[@stasvino]

Amelia I love you

[@bhujiabandur9560]

[@leks9163]

[@premier316]

[@andrewnorris5415]

Interesting people ride bikes. Intelligent deep talk. Differences in cycling, culture. Meaning of life. India is even more extreme than NY. Japan pretty "strict". Other parts of Asia too - Vietnam = no rules, go with flow. No one is best - advantages/disadvantages and how fits in with culture of that country. Connecting is good, cycling with others is bonding. Meaning, community, freedom, creativity, play. Not sure if she has heard of the Enneagram, I wonder what her type is. I guess 5w4 (observer with a creative bent), social subtype. If she is great to see a 5 getting out and doing things, 5s at their best.

[@nicojar]

Enneagram is, to psychology, what astrology is to astronomy ;) There's no validity whatsoever, no reliability, it's pure made-up BS that never gives the same results twice, my friend. It's based on the Barnum effect: the types described in this pseudoscientific "method" are so vague that it's highly likely that one will recognize themselves in most given types. Professionals in psychology consider it as one of the biggest scams. I'm sorry if you believe in it (I don't mean it in a sarcastic way, I mean: I'm sorry to contradict one of your beliefs, I don't mean any harm to you nor do I despise your intelligence), but it's objectively a scam, regardless of what you or I think of it. It's just a gimmicky trend in HR and education, and HR & educ are the most prone to absorb pseudoscientific trends from pop-psychology (they used graphology, psychoanalysis and MBTI for a long time while none of these are anything else but pseudosciences and unproven "methods" of describing personality - while quite a few branches of actual psychology give reliable descriptions). We like to believe in easy-to-understand and cool/simplistic methodologies to classify personalities (check all the books Thomas Erikson has released...), but it's as difficult to create a system that is relevant, reliable and valid, as it is to debunk pseudoscience and explain this to hardcore believers (and most of us are hardcore believers in some kind of pseudoscience and/or a system of belief, at some point in our life). It's probably easier to deter someone from religion with dialogue than to deter a hardcore believer from MBTI, psychoanalysis or homeopathy with scrutiny. (+ brandolini's law = it takes ten times longer to debunk any false statement) All in all: science doesn't give one f... if we believe in it or not, and being open-minded isn't "believing that anything could be real", but accepting that something is wrong when under the scrutiny of facts & proofs. And when it comes to enneagram - it's been repeatedly disproven. ^^

[@Keklninho]

If you wanna see real car centric cities, come to Kazakhstan. Nothing new here 😢

[@dai4490]

Japan No Brake❌🚳
