I think you have a great bike. I ride a single speed/fix gear bike and once it is ridden a few times, one speed gets a lot easier and the fitness level will improve too. You made a great video of your overnight ride. I hope you will do more rides like this soon. And the hell with those $10,000 bikes. 😁

I love my single speed cruiser. Gotten compliments! 64 year old on a single is rare, I guess. Thanks for the smile, ride safe!

Single speed touring is a chaos move. Nice ride!

Well done! I ride my single speed steel mountain bike on great adventure tours also. I love nature excursions the best. 52 years old still exploring. Awesome

Great effort! It’s cool to see a ride like that so close to New York City.

Thanks George!! I honestly didn't know it was possible until I tried. Glad I did!

As a fellow NYC anxiety ridden, wandering mind that benefits from nature, this video really hits home. Thank you for documenting and showing me that anything is possible even if we have to cross 4 bridges to get somewhere.

MAN. Good on you for making that ride! I make the drive quite frequently, but can not imagine doing it on a bike at all. Also, 9W is brutal, especially on the weekends. So many cyclists. Great video!

Thanks Larry!! Dude 9W was nasty lol

No way cranks should come lose after 5 miles or even 5000. You might need a replacement crank and/or bottom bracket.
@JulianArcher5 ай бұрын
Yep, trash crankset that the previous owner installed. Have some solid deore cranks I just bought at a bike swap, will be throwing those on in the next couple days.

Avoid tent platforms in the rain as the rain will run under the tent..You will be dryer on the ground..

Yoooo I put those cranks on my Diamondback build I made a video about and they always come loose too! Now I feel a little less crazy. Going to get some new ones in this case
@JulianArcher5 ай бұрын
Yeah, such an annoying problem to have lol. I just grabbed a nice set of deore cranks for $20 at a bike swap!

Great video! as an amateur traveler, how do you avoid your bike/panniers getting stolen when u eat out at a bar/restourant?
@JulianArcher5 ай бұрын
I brought a cable lock with me, but honestly left it unlocked outside a few gas stations for a couple minutes. You have to be a pretty s*&% person to steal a touring bike, so I was putting my trust into the people of the greater NYC area 😬

That bike is worth far more money than that, sure you can budged and buy used but if you would count parts and their instalation it could easily reach 800

Isn't it an awesome feeling to accomplish something you've not done before and with such a great environment? Challenge yourself some more. Go more places. And make more videos.
