Exploring Seoul’s flower market and cafes by bicycle

[@donttouchthisatall]

Love it - you and your friend embody what I think bike rides should be for all us regular folks. Leave the lycra and KOMs to the pros. Just adventuring on cool bikes.

[@probablyriding]

Exactly! No hate for Lycra cyclist but it’s not for me. I just want to ride around and meet friends, just like when I was a kid.

[@hugejackedman1951]

i like to match kit and riding style with whatever bike i chose to ride that day basket bike: street clothes/party pace. road bike: jersey/fast(ish) pace because it's fun to try hard sometimes

[@probablyriding]

Good call! Sometimes Lycra is right 👍🏻

[@ArjanGroe]

Quickly becoming my fav cycling lifestyle channel ❤

[@probablyriding]

Thank you!

[@seb_saves_bikes]

me too

[@probablyriding]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@luckygoldpanda]

wife and I are here for the flower content too. great stuff

[@probablyriding]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Velocipedium]

Same. Channels my inner Amsterdammer

[@BufordDuckworth]

In my town there's an old trolley line that's been turned into a multiuse trail. On the trail there's the Trolley House that was once used as sleeping quarters for the trolley workers. The garden for the Trolley House is a magnificent display of mostly native flowers and plants. It's my favorite part of the trail. Smells amazing in the spring.

[@probablyriding]

Sounds like a great trail!

[@BufordDuckworth]

@@probablyriding It's an ok trail, it's only 3 miles, but the scenery is fantastic.

[@Velocipedium]

[@threadsonja1119]

I’m also here for the flower content! 🌸

[@probablyriding]

Yay! Thank you!

[@benjamin_herrera805]

Currently binging all your videos! The scenery, community, and vibe of these videos are top tier. This makes my cycling enthusiasm even higher seeing like minded people enjoying the simplicity of life in a chaotic world! Greetings from Oxnard, CA 🚲

[@probablyriding]

Thanks so much!

[@mythcrab6047]

The video is so great. I'm here for all of it. Bikes, flowers, Korean culture, etc. Thank you.

[@probablyriding]

Glad you enjoyed it! I love sharing all those things

[@maidbloke]

This video was stylish, classy and interesting. Thanks for sharing Seoul with us. Hope your wife appreciated the flowers!

[@probablyriding]

Glad you enjoyed it! And yes, the flowers were appreciated.

[@ronneilcabrera2301]

Would love to see a bikecheck on your friend's bike

[@probablyriding]

That’s the plan! He has two nice bikes ready for a bike check. Coming soon…

[@smokeycanuck8058]

It's a Bassi Hogs Back, Canadian company (Montreal).

[@ChanceCooper125]

Your channel is the inspiration I need to get back on my bike after my winter blues. Can’t wait to ride!

[@probablyriding]

Amazing! Hope you enjoy your rides back on the bike.

[@stephencavell5109]

Been enjoying your videos, this one with my morning coffee. Thought the losco's looked great on the atlantis, was almost making me regret selling a pair recently but i wish they were a lil wider. what a nice way to spend a saturday. Cheers

[@probablyriding]

Thanks for watching. I’ve had the loscos on 4 different bikes now. They were best on the 90s Trek MTB I had before, which had a long reach and insanely long stem. I’ll keep them for whatever the next bike is.

[@lindajesse8250]

Grateful for your cool understated chanel. A very clean city is Seoul. 😊

[@probablyriding]

Thank you! 😃

[@Anticitizen2501]

Love your content - so relaxing to watch. I'm nearly 40 and need to learn how to ride confidently so i can go out for coffee and flower trips like this! 😊 All the best, from Scotland!

[@probablyriding]

Never too late!

[@grillface101]

Loved this video. We were in Seoul last summer and it was HOT! Watching this video makes me want to go back for a winter visit some time. Looking forwards to more.

[@probablyriding]

Summer is brutal here. May and October are the best. Perfect mid 20s Celsius. Flowers everywhere in May and peak autumn foliage in October.

[@georgesutton9655]

Loving the vids - keep them coming!

[@probablyriding]

Thanks again!

[@shinhochulp]

I haven’t been back to Korea in nearly 10 years. I miss it. Hoping to visit with my brother and do the 4 rivers trail. Thanks for the video.

[@probablyriding]

I’ve plenty of small bike tours in Korea but I’m yet to do the Seoul to Busan ride. Maybe one day.

[@polipop1113]

Love it.. the video got a bit of everything. Just got my A. Homer Hilsen frame.. getting components now.

[@David_a_journeyman_curmudgeon]

What a chill looking coffee house!

[@probablyriding]

So many great cafes here but I keep going back to this one.

[@agirlwithacat1]

I'm here for both the flowers and cafes by bicycle (and kalguksu content) 😍 I love Seoul! Although I have only cycled in Japanese cities (and it was such a beautiful experience!!), I'd love to cycle in Seoul! I love their cafe culture and actually those streets hidden behind the main roads are just so amazing and perfect for cycling! I'm so happy that youtube algorithm has recommended your channel to me, it's such a relaxing, heart warming and smile bringing channel☺ I love everyday cycling and it has also brought me a lot of mental health benefits - so many that a few years ago I decided to start my own bike shop :)

[@probablyriding]

That’s amazing! Daily life cycling in Seoul is a little more difficult than Tokyo because there are more cars and hills but I know all the quieter routes and then the Han River bike path is incredible. I hope the bike shop is going well. Where are you based?

[@agirlwithacat1]

@@probablyriding I'm based in Warsaw :) There have been ups and downs as usual, but also very rewarding :) Oh I remember those hills in Seoul, those must be some leg killers 😅

[@davidsaxby5400]

@agirlwithacat1 I’m planning on a city break to Warsaw. I always hunt for local bike shops when abroad. I hope I stumble upon yours so can spend some money there 🤞

[@probablyriding]

I’ll make sure to stop by if I ever visit Warsaw too.

[@marcellostraps]

Greetings fellow city cruiser. I moved from Seoul to Gyeonggi 17 years ago, and I miss that great flower market! Love the channel and the great videos.

[@probablyriding]

Thanks for watching! Hope you get some good ride in Gyeonggi too 👍🏻

[@Afro_Josh]

Love your stuff man keep it up, beautiful bikes, chill vibes, good coffee, what else is there

[@probablyriding]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@XSMarshmello]

I’m here for both, flowers are always worth the trip. I use to live in Seoul (yongsan) and rode my bike there frequently…I miss it dearly. It’s good to see it from your perspective.

[@probablyriding]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed seeing Seoul by bike again.

[@Velocipedium]

I love that cherry blossom coloured bike frame. Now I’m over 60 I think I can finally rock a bike that colour, maybe slightly deeper duskier pink. Bike check next time please?

[@probablyriding]

Will do!

[@dimitri7430]

Just beautiful! ❤

[@probablyriding]

Thank you! 😊

[@jonathangapay1724]

Same with the repair stand. Getting one was a game changer.

[@probablyriding]

So much better!

[@canica99]

sweet video...I just purchased a A .Homer .Hilsen and love it so far Very nice set up that Atlantis looks superb. Cheers and great job on the sound as well. More videos please and thank you.

[@probablyriding]

Good choice! I’d definitely buy a Homer if I didn’t already have the Romulus. Happy to hear sound is good. I was worried because I do it with headphones. More videos to come 👍🏻

[@shannonia81]

I need a coffee and record shop near my house. Your videos are so chill and so enjoyable 🙂

Thank you 👍

[@mister_betechkin]

This looks like so much fun - I ride both bicycles and motorcycles but you've really got me considering putting my tourer in a box and shipping it to South Korea for some riding. Cheers from Philadelphia!

[@probablyriding]

There’s some good riding out of Seoul. You should try it!

[@jeffdible8171]

Great content! I've always learned more about places I lived by using the bike. Traffic appears more civil than in most larger cities, or it could be the time of day.

[@probablyriding]

Bikes are the best for exploring. Fast enough to get around but slow enough to take it all in. This was in the morning, so a little quieter than normal. Drivers aren’t great but maybe better than other places. Although, I don’t film when there’s more traffic because it’s too dangerous.

[@Definitely_is_me]

Your content is addicting keep it up

[@probablyriding]

Thanks, will do!

[@bignickdublin]

Lovely vid and lovely Riv! Let’s have a bike check next.

[@probablyriding]

Thank you! The Atlantis will get a bike check on its next tour. That’s what it deserves!

[@seb_saves_bikes]

Love your videos man. Keep shooting and riding. By the way, that coffee shop is really cool, I would love to visit it someday.

[@probablyriding]

Thanks so much. Riding every day. Just need to film parts and work out how to make a nice video with the footage.

[@stefan-kovac]

Cheers... I live in Daejeon but you have given me a couple of cafes to check out when I travel to Seoul!... Great vid btw loved it!

[@probablyriding]

So many good cafes in Seoul.

[@Ey_up]

Yep, Billie's on my Atlantis too, 120mm stem is perfect for me on my 51cm.

[@probablyriding]

They’re perfect for the Atlantis. An improvement on the already nice Albatross bars. I think 120-130mm stem is the sweet spot for these bars.

[@anniebikes7002]

I love this content😊

[@probablyriding]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@Jbiralde]

Great videos my man, so calming... When's the Atlantis bike check video coming? Cheers!

[@probablyriding]

Yes, he is. Another friend here is a distributor for Bassi in Korea.

Gotta go to Seoul and Tokyo

[@probablyriding]

Both wonderful cities

[@gionacanevascini2590]

Hi! I love the brake levers and shifter where do they come from? Congratulations the bike is super stylish but "cheerful" if that makes sense 😂

[@probablyriding]

Hi 👋 The levers are Paul Components and the shifters are Rivendell.

[@Leviajohnson]

Had no idea the kind of hills you’re dealing with in Korea. It’s also cool to know I’m not the only one swapping bars regularly haha

[@probablyriding]

It’s super hilly here, I just don’t usually film cycling up them. I’m used to the hills and kind of enjoy them. My bikes are geared appropriately

[@ploafmaster]

What are those bags on the bike-not the panniers, but the frame/stem bags. I thought I saw something like “hitch”, but that isn’t easy to search for without a lot of the wrong results 🙃

[@probablyriding]

They’re from Hitch Bicycle club, here in Seoul. If you have instagram: instagram.com/hitch__official?igsh=eTNoOXFpbGg0dDZu

[@DrewFitchette-ui4fd]

Amazing footage! What size is your Atlantis? I had a 53 and it was a bit small for me.

[@probablyriding]

Mine is a 56cm 650b wheel Atlantis. It’s one of the last Waterford, USA made ones. Slightly shorter chainstays than the current model.

[@johntickell8496]

Great videos. Do you operate your shifters with thumb only? I can see how shifting up the cassette would be easy but is shifting down as easy?

[@probablyriding]

Thank you. I have a rapid rise derailleur so it’s the opposite way around but I see what you’re asking. So shifting down the cassette with my thumb and shifting up the cassette with my fingers over the top of the bars.

[@doescanarethere]

what do you film with? I also have a pair of billie bars they are so good, the extended hand grip area makes for a nice variety of hand positions

[@probablyriding]

iPhone 14pro. Might buy an action cam sometime but this does the job. Billie bars are great!

[@juliewerner9592]

Embracing the whole of what bike riding can be

Whoa 😮 Excellent video! That setup is impressive. What grips are those?

[@probablyriding]

Thanks. They’re ESI grips with some fabric bar tape wrapped.

[@emfausto]

Is this a MITaiwan or MIJapan made Atlantis? What size? You have a very soothing bike video 🙂

[@probablyriding]

MUSA Waterford made 56cm 650b wheels. Check out my newest video for more info about the bike. Thanks for watching!

[@emfausto]

@@probablyriding I am currently watching and enjoying every minute of it. I’m curious of your chainstay that seems to be longer than the MIJ version but shorter than the latest MIT. I am currently riding a 26” size 50 MIT Atlantis. Another nice video :-)

[@jotteria79]

HBC on a bike is absolutely insane lol I hardly even go there on foot cos of bad foot/knees!

[@probablyriding]

Haha I used to live up there back when I rode a fixed gear. Riding up with that was even more insane. It would destroy my knees now. Plenty of gears needed.
