Hey Mitch, I know this video has been out for a year now, but I just discovered it and I found it to be verrry good, straightforward, and easy to understand. Thanks for the info.

[@AegenemmnoN]

This was so insanely accurate to my journey I almost laughed. I’ve succumbed and am looking into Lycra shorts as we speak….. then the tires…. Then the wheels….

[@MitchBoyer]

Haha it’s inevitable! Thanks for watching! Good luck to us all 😅

[@marbacc]

I am on the torque wrench journey at the moment. The stand has been an amazing decision.

[@aaronedgeart]

Kept it simple and didn't push expensive stuff... well done.

[@davegoldspink5354]

😂🤣😂 Man how things have changed. My bike is 14 years old and I still ride and service it regularly, helmets have been compulsory here in Australia where I live for nearly 40 years and in the 50 years plus I’ve been riding I’ve never worn Lycra once or even had bum padding and that includes on the 100km (62mile) Sydney to Gong bike classic which I’ve done 7 times.

[@DrunkDrynasty]

You don’t like a comfy bum? I’m kidding I’ve never worn Lycra either. I do wear slightly padded underwear under stretchy running shorts. I can’t bring myself to wear a full Lycra aerodynamic squid suit.

[@markfisher7962]

On the chamois: it's not really the foam that makes the difference (though it helps) ; it's the compliant surface next to your skin that greatly reduces chafe. The rubbing happens away from the skin-fabric interface. And yes, it used to be chamois leather: same grip.

[@hlheutte6554]

i just got a used work stand from my LBS and it is so worth it. It really opened up a new world of swapping components at home and saved a ton of money in the long run IMO.

[@B_COOPER]

What the heck happened to the sound at 6:32? I thought my speaker had gave up! Lol

[@KDemosh]

The Fly6 and Fly12 bike "dash" cams are great! Always nice to be able to report and prove things, plus they're great lights as well!

[@Trailblazers2024]

I needed this video. Thank you

[@irinaanton9849]

10/10. Great video

[@SuperMattb17]

Nice video! A Fly 6 is a great tail light investment!

[@fromoutwest]

Hi Mitch. Fellow tubeless rider here. Have opted to not carry a spare tube and instead rely on Dynaplug for fast recovery, combined with Uber/phone-a-friend as a last resort. I hate changing tubes out on a ride. My other recommendation is a presta-to-schrader adapter in case out of C02 (I don't carry a bike pump either) and there is a gas station nearby. Cheap insurance. Keep up the informative and entertaining vids!

[@MitchBoyer]

I gotta get a dynaplug! Have you seen the new prototype that fits in the handlebar end cap? 🤯

[@EstebanDVO]

Just started doing 1:30hr + rides lately and finally bought bib shorts... Game changer

[@MitchBoyer]

1hr30+ is a solid ride!

[@AlistairLattimore]

Impressed you waited that long! When I bought my road bike last year, I put together a list of future purchases in different categories. First purchases were helmet, bib shorts, gloves & water bottle.

[@ferdinandacosta1288]

Shokz are the best!

[@davidk5307]

Thank you for the beginner friendly advice. I'd love to see something about purchasing a new bike maybe second hand....although I'm currently deep in the try to learn everything I can rabbit hole and will certainly watch just about anything you put out

[@MitchBoyer]

Thanks for watching! I’m thinking about doing a series on attempting to get my wife into cycling 🤞 If it works, there will definitely be an episode or two on choosing a bike 🚲

[@Gurrenlagann153]

@@MitchBoyer And than after that video, one about how to properly store the n + 1 bikes the two of you own in an LA sized house.

[@MatheMattical]

I was like, those are definitely Goodrs. Yup. Confirmed. Fun video. Been thinking about a bike stand for a while. Just gotta pull the trigger.

[@MitchBoyer]

Do itttttt! totally worth it.

[@Bill-cy2cy]

Picked up a Varia two wks back… GAME CHANGER.

[@doferr87]

You’re not alone. LoFi Hip Hop for the win!

Holy shit I love your channel!!! New viewer here

[@LouieBaLLz]

I have a love/hate relationship with my doctor. I loved that she cared enough to worry about my weight (305lbs) at the time. She recommended I start cycling as a way lose weight. This is where the hate comes in. Whyyyyyyyy did she say start cycling? I started with a cheap $300 bike I got on ebay with a wahoo indoor trainer. And the spiral down the cycling rabbit hole began. This will be my 3rd summer of riding and I have so many bibs and jerseys that I lost count. I'm also on my 2nd bike but only because I was hit by a car last year and I used the insurance money to buy a Pinarello Dogma F. I went from being unhealthy heavy to an unhealthy (in a good way) cycling obsession. This video made me laugh because it's like my cycling journey in a 7 min video.

[@MitchBoyer]

Haha the spiral is real! Sorry to hear you were hit by a car, but congrats on the Dogma F 🙌 thanks for watching!

[@adamcaswell]

Perfect 👌🏼

[@lizardlizarraga5984]

And they say LA doesn’t have any cool people! Enjoying the videos!

[@MitchBoyer]

Haha, thanks! 🤘

[@BabaYaga0451]

Do you have a recommendation for a headlight?

[@MitchBoyer]

Not yet... I am about to start shopping for one for a big ride coming up, so maybe in the future! Also, if anyone reading this has recs, please let us know 🙏

[@Ecrevissemoka]

Muc off dry lube is crap according to the Silca CEO and some tests. Save your drive train and get a better one!

[@113aidan4]

At 3:37 you are riding next to the Griffith Observatory. Im a 13 year old that just got started into biking, I go up there 2 to 3 times a month. I recently tried climbing farther, up the road that you are descending rn, but I couldnt. :( I am running the trek domane al3 disc. I was wondering if you had any tips on climbing, I want to get better. :) Thank you :)

[@MitchBoyer]

Griffith Park is my favorite place to ride in LA, it’s a great place to practice climbing. I’m not a coach or anything but the thing that helped me the most with climbing hills was getting a heart rate monitor. I often attacked too hard, so my legs or my lungs would give out before I got up the hill. The heart rate monitor helped me pace myself. I realized I had to slow way down to keep my heart rate lower. At first it felt like I was going super slow, but I made it to the top! Over time I’ve built up my speed. Hope that helps a bit ✌️

[@113aidan4]

@@MitchBoyer Thank you! :)

[@MitchBoyer]

@@113aidan4 Good luck!

[@tcistrash9911]

I wanna ride but I have blurry vision, can I just wear graded glasses?

[@coreyreeder3549]

You have to warn them about tall socks! Someone is gonna look like a triathlete

[@MitchBoyer]

Lol true!

[@jameswestgate4896]

Great vid and spot on recommendations. Next marginal gain, using Squirt as your lube, and getting aero AF.

[@MitchBoyer]

😂

[@bennickerson5477]

Next episode, Mitch try’s waxing, his chain

[@MitchBoyer]

😅 how’d you find my KZbin watch history?

[@aw8079]

I have ridden 2 century rides without proper bike shorts. No problem.

[@UKBROOKLYN]

So let me get this straight.. You appear to be suggesting that it's ok for "NEW" cyclists listen to music while riding. WRONG.. in fact it's dangerous for even the best cyclists to listen to music while riding. Cycling demands a lot more of ones attention than almost any other physical activity. Why would anyone want to reduce their senses while engaging in a sport that by it's nature plays in traffic ??

[@michaelconlee3925]

Not everyone bikes in traffic but fair point.
