Cycling in Japan - Nagoya City Ride

Cycling Japan Tour - Are mountain bikes good for city riding? Today my wife and I are exploring some new city streets of Nagoya Japan. Personally, I find mountain bikes to be the best bikes for city riding and exploring new roads.
We found some cool new spots, but she really doesn't like waiting at red lights 🤣 Let's go!

What was your favorite part on today's ride? Don't miss the surprise turtle!

[@hellopsp180]

have you thought about taking up a part time job + Ramping up your youtube channel at the same time. With more content? You could also try doing private tutoring as a 2nd job alongside your part time one? At least that way you have a paying job, which was the requirement for your VISA + you get the flexibility of part time hours to actually expand your business / youtube channel Also the mentality you speak about at 37:37 Its too idealistic. Yes its nice to actually do the full 1 year but life never works like that. If they actually paid you properly you would probably stay there for the full year. It is 100% not shady to get a job now with the intention of looking for an upgrade along the lines. Put it this way if you dont get a job you are in a worse position. At this moment in time and with the crap job climate with high unemployment rates you MUST take anything you can get. Plus the people who think this way really just end up waiting forever for that "Perfect job to come up" and end up really wasting more time. ALSO HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Thanks for your input! I want to do YT and PT work, but was strongly recommended against doing that right now by an immigration lawyer. 😑

[@momoronboo6253]

This giga turtle is a lucky charm, haha . Cruise has something special. It's a peaceful day in Nagoya.

[@ivanhalim3494]

Every time I watch your video, it makes me feel like a 2yr old sitting on the front child-seat.

[@AndrewSimpson-us9lf]

Thuong should do a walking video around the planetarium. Happy Birthday!

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Thanks! I'll let her know!

[@ジェイソンデラクルズ]

Happy birthday sir, i'm a filipino and one of your subscriber here in konan near in ichinomiya and i love bikes also. Shoutout for the nextvlog sir😊💪🚲

[@biglampar556]

Enjoyed your videos - and you're so right about that mountain bikes make these type of rides enjoyable - upright with go anywhere fatter tyres - was riding today and went through a park and remembered your comments. made me enjoy my ride - it doesn't have to be a drop bar bike and going fast all the time - Thanks.

[@RBRTSWORLD]

that giant dome is exactly what I would expect to see in japan

[@stevemeng2554]

25:26 I believe that's an auger drill. That's used to drill holes for foundation piling, normally when the soil underneath is too loose for building.

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Thanks!

[@scottbert9556]

I love the architecture and colors of cities in Japan. Thanks for another vid!

[@Domane-mh8wg]

Lately I've been enjoying these kind of videos where you just explore around town and find new places. I'm an avid cyclist for mountain and road but the past 3 years I've been pedaling my beater bike around my community and love exploring new places. Something I would never get a chance to do when I'm riding long distances with my road bike. Thanks for making these kind of videos. Happy Birthday!

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Thanks! They're fun for me to make too :)

[@laudenciamarkjoberm.6553]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sir Cruise Love ur videos,more trail vidssssss Godbless and more power

I used to live in Sapporo. Japan is a beautiful country. Lots of great memories.

[@jokerart4005]

the weather is so pure so clean so green 💚and blue🔵

[@jgreenjeans]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I enjoy these videos that allow me to not think about things It's the same reason that I like to ride my bike. Only ride, no thoughts It's nice to see different scenery though

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Riding is my stress reliever 😁

[@agricola9171]

Happy Birthday, keep up the great work you’ve inspired me to get a bike and now I’m hooked so thank you!

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Thanks! And that's awesome!

[@kowloonbl]

After seeing my enthusiasm for my new found enjoyment for riding, my 84 yr old father bought a trike, starting slow, ie around the block a few times, but hey hes having fun!

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Awesome!

[@janxaholic9117]

Many happy returns of the day! Stay blessed!

Thanks!

[@djy69]

I have a folding bike with narrow handlebars. The best for inner city commutes. Wide bars are a bit awkward in tighter areas

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Really want to try one

[@abelsjca]

Happy Birthday my friend. I really enjoy your channel, Keep it up.

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Thanks!

[@michaellearns3836]

Happy birthday sir. Supporting you all the way..inspired to do video content like you do..

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Thanks!

[@tdnishio]

Hello from California. I enjoyed your mountain bike tour. Some of the newer expensive bikes have 29" tubeless tires and electric motor to better climb up steep grades. Just wondering if it's imperative or not, to lock up your bike when left unoccupied? Since, you ride on sidewalks, ever considered having a bell to gently warn pedestrians of your presence?

[@TwoWheelCruise]

It depends on where you are, but must places are safe without a lock for short periods of time. Bells are illegal to use here to alert pedestrians to move outside of emergencies. I made a whole video about cycling laws here.

[@jonathanribeiro1559]

Happy Birthday Cruise! Despite these difficult times and running against time - when you're feeling your financial stability, your position as foreign (i mean, your visa, and with them, your dreams) being threatened - you're capable of keep your integrity (37:20), which is the most important and admirable thing. I'm a portuguese new fan in your channel, and i'm already looking forward for your new videos. Good Luck for you and your adorable wife and companion!

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Thanks!

[@classifiedinformation6353]

Happy Birthday, my friend!

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Thanks!

[@yttsutsui7388]

Pretty tricky times. Hang in there mate! I hope you land in a situation you are comfortable with long term. The tortoise... reminds me of an old man who walks one (live one) on the street in an old suburb in Tokyo... Not sure if the man is still around... Happy belated birthday!

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Thanks! I've seen a video about him before. This was my first time seeing something similar in person 😅

[@nikki.harvey]

At 12:36 you said okay like that meme 😂

[@kathyclemente9850]

Happy Birthday! 🎈🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Thanks!

[@The3pleSix]

First of all, happy birthday Sir. I thought it was just here in my country that every company always giving people the base salary even though I've enough experience and I got that experience from a reputable company and the worst part is I'm a resident here in my country, can't imagine how those companies treat a foreigners if they did such thing to their own residents. Hope you found a good job for you! BTW I heard that cycling can affect your fertility rate for men, it will makes you hard to have a child if you cycling for long time and so frequently like everyday. Maybe you could make it as a topic in your next video talking about it. God bless you and your family!

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Thanks! I'm Not sure if that is true or not 😅

Wooooowwww nice place ride safe and happy birthday to u sir enjoy you're day godbless .....

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Thanks! Say hi next time ;)

[@pmaui]

Nagoya is really an amazing place to walk around. I did solo tour there and got lost a lot but found many unique place like Temple and Bridge. I should have rent a bike or bring my own foldie bike and cycle around more. Would love to go back again one day once the covid 19 is dead.

[@TwoWheelCruise]

It's a great city to explore :)

[@jazzechos1372]

As you ride through these areas of Japan do you ever wounder what the area at one time looked like during it feudal period?

[@davidchan5424]

Beggars cannot be choosers...so true. You are right to have a good moral-mind and for that, I respect your thoughts and wish all the best for you and your okusan. Akiramenai...if there is such a Japanese word..you can see light at the end of the tunnel with your persistence..David, Malaysia.

[@jeffreywong5112]

Is it possible for you to export bicycle parts to other countries that we have difficulty buying? It may provide at least added income and who knows you guys might be the go to guys for hard to find bike parts. Winter sale is coming right? Do they sale big time when it's winter?

[@TwoWheelCruise]

It's a business model I've considered, but worried about not having enough demand and it being profitable enough to be worthwhile.

[@jeffreywong5112]

@@TwoWheelCruise how profitable are we talking about? 10 to 20 dollars profit for each item? It can be done once winter sale is in. Philippines is a good market for bikes and other Asian countries that have difficulty in getting stuff for their bikes.

[@kayakengineer]

Hi Cruise, the big shaft that was spinning appears to be an auger pile installation system for the foundation of a building. They drill an auger into the ground at a predetermined depth then as they retrieve the auger they pump special active cement into the hole. Cement drys and becomes the structural pile(s) holding up the building. Number of piles required depends on the square area of the building and required building columns.as designed by the structural/geotechnical engineers. Hope this helps. Beautiful ride! Happy B-Day.

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Thanks for the info, that's interesting to learn!

[@kayakengineer]

Cruise, stop messing around with trying to work in a foreign Country where they don't value experience and education and come back to the United States. FYI, we also have more bike riding opportunities here. Just Saying.

[@TwoWheelCruise]

We might. For now though we'll be here for another year

[@chronicfish]

34:18 Hey Cruise, what is the lady on the megaphone (Ambulance) saying?

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Just a warning for the ambulance

10:30 sometimes I called that copyright truck bc they blasting loud music

[@kevinjfeeney77]

I started carrying a small 2oz spray bottle for spritzing my face/neck to cool off... I save the water in my bottle(s) for actual drinking... with a very occasional spray onto my head/hair..

At about the 30:00 minute mark. . . You sound stressed. It's ok to be stressed. That is how you improve. But know, things will work out without your involvement (?) The best gift in life is to be alive. Simple words, but they are so true.

It's been s stressful time, but indeed there is a lot to be grateful for

One thing that I have noticed: I had not seen a single police patrol car in your videos. Japan is that safe.

Please note that you are supposed to dismount your bike whenever going up or down the ramps for the overhead crosswalks. Cops will stop you for that in Nagoya.

Yes, especially with an MA and over 5 years of experience. Also, under 270,000 it is hard to support a dependent for a visa.
