I Rode a Cruiser Bike up a Mountain for a Cookie!

[@jtelvis3]

I am SO GLAD that there was one cookie left for you, Ryan! But something tells me that even if there were none left, you still would have had a great ride!

[@HeadPack]

Now that's an experiment worthy of getting viral. At a time where bikes got so expensive, and many cycling channels promote pricey kit, this is refreshing to see.

[@printerror]

Ohhhh now I need to find a cookie place worth biking to! COOOOKIEEEEE!!!!! 🍪

[@BiffBruise]

I just biked up to Gold Hill yesterday for a cookie … and yes, it was definitely worth it

[@kylehall4063]

Its always fun to do something familiar in a unfamiliar way, turns it into an adventure, well done 👏

[@jasonm4695]

I am only mentioning my own love of riding to Gold Hill because I can truly say this video nailed it in every way… the beauty, grades, the store. And I really appreciate the effort on that bike, with it’s lowly single gear, and running shoe!? I can see the series unfolding… cruiser to the Ward store, another cruiser ride to the Jamestown Merc for a killer breakfast burrito, cruiser for the best cinnamon roll on the planet at the Glen Haven General Store, then cruiser up Magnolia to the Blue Moon bakery in Ned! Heck, might as well do a Boulder Octopus on the cruiser! No matter what, thank you as always for your energy and your grin.

[@duzer]

Ooooh!! This sounds like a fun adventure

[@jasonfreyer9888]

This is the kind of adventure I'm here for! So much fun!

[@thibaudepeche]

What an amazing ride. You really live in a beautiful city with incredible surroundings. It's amazing to be able to go out, on foot, by bike, and witness those sceneries. Love the bike

[@duzer]

I truly have a beautiful backyard. Thanks for watching!

[@paulsslightlyactivelife]

Thanks for taking us along for the ride, Duzer. Lovely little review of a place close to your heart. Would love to see more of Boulder's hidden gems.

[@jasonm4695]

Totally. He’s the one to do it.

[@granadosable]

A mini-video gem. Well done.

[@markflolid5930]

My favorite ride. I prefer 4 mile side, but Sunshine is a butt kicker. I agree the cookies are amazing.

[@jasonm4695]

@@markflolid5930I like the Four Mile side a bit more too, but lately the washboard on the way down SUCKS.

Sometimes the goofy little "donut ride" videos can be so heartwarming.

[@drewguttormson9368]

Love these day adventure videos that you do. Awesome to see the sights and the Gold Hill Store. Must visit!

Come visit sometime!!

[@itsdanny819]

The fact that there was only one cookie makes it funny to go all the way there 😂 but it looks beautiful and fun

[@ForKnFifties]

I'm Sure they saved one for him Lol

What if all the cookies sold out?

"Hi, this is Eddie from Priority. While a Beach Criuser CAN be used to climb 3000ft in 12 miles, we don't recommend that because we aren't insane. Let's look at our lineup of bikes that are good for that."

Classic

[@rexthedog9637]

yeah no joke. Ryan has a little bit of crazy and the right bit of humor to take this on.

[@printerror]

Dangit, I heard that in Eddie's voice. 😂

[@jacksonbangs6603]

Awesome video Ryan Van Duzer! As it so happens I took a bicycle ride today here in Southern Oregon. One of the towns I went through was Gold Hill Oregon. I am so glad you enjoyed your hard earned chocolate chip cookie 🍪!

[@duzer]

That’s awesome you also have a Gold Hill ;)

[@zap...]

During a teamed 24-hour race a buddy of mine took his single speed Schwinn cruiser for his first leg. That team member did not do another lap the remainder of the 24 hour race. You're nuts Duzer.

[@j.k.6148]

Really enjoyed this cookie cruzer episode. Nice !

[@ExileTheKnightsOfMaltaNow]

Thanks for the pep talk coach how did you know I'm struggling with inertia

[@ornleifs]

Fun video and I agree, that Mapleton Street looked beautiful.

[@keithattwood59]

That looked like a Surly Wednesday outside that store. That's my latest ride I use to get up the hills here in Cyprus😊

[@frbrable]

I find it very amusing why Ryan talks to his own shadow.

Takes Cookie Monster To A Whole New Level - Way Cool Go Team Duzer , Cheers

[@Wolit51]

Cool video. I haven't been up to Gold Hill in years. We used to do a loop using the Switzerland Trail and into Gold Hill. But we were on mountain bikes! That was impressive riding up on a cruiser.

[@ekimpp]

Thanks! For chocolate cookies

[@stevevanness4195]

Hi Ryan, I have a suggestion for an adventure video, try doing a long trip on the bicycle without using any maps! Keep the phone just for emergencies.

[@gibson5056]

There’s a little store in silverton Colorado that has awesome funnel cakes, it’s a bit further from Boulder but if you’re in the area check it out!

[@bengt_axle]

Boulder is a beautiful place. If you like to do outdoor activities like biking, skiing and hiking, there's no better place in the USA. It is very dog friendly too, and I do remember going to the hardware store in Boulder and seeing people come in with their very docile dogs. I lived in the US for a few years while attending school and loved going to Boulder. It would take me a few days to acclimate to the altitude of RMNP since I lived in the Midwest!!! You certainly do have a nice house, especially since it can be quite expensive to live in that town.

[@ariekusuma6632]

He is Ryan van duzer...climb with cruser bike ...make more video like this man

[@glennpettersson9002]

Thanks for the smile 😀

[@purwantosetiadi]

reminds me of a ride i made recently to a stall located in a mountainside town 28 km away only to have sayur asem, a javanese sweet and sour vegetable soup. the kind of ride is always the best. 😀

[@paulwerner3150]

Luv the music, bro!

[@Huneidu]

Cookie Cruze! The Banning House Lodge on Catalina Island has some fantastic chocolate chip cookies too.

[@meeatpapaya]

I was lucky enough to have cookies right out of the oven when I rode up to gold hill this summer from Boulder. I’m from Chicago, and damn , was that climb a pain in the ass lol but holy moly, those cookies are top tier. Solid 9/10 , will be going back again next summer.

[@spacemanspiff01]

The Gold Hill chocolate chip cookies are legit!

[@bradsanders6954]

Cool Cookie Ride! Gotta do the spur of moment rides sometimes. Its been raining 4 days straight here in Chico, Nor Cal................on a whim I talked someone else into a rain ride on Mt Bikes. It poured on us, then it rained even harder, water was over a foot deep on the gravel road in upper park in the low spots with water raging thru.....I was soaked 5 minutes from my house. The wind started gusting, that was cold. My Gore Gore-Tex shell worked great! Everything else was water logged. But hey, we got 17 miles in with a climb. I had heated socks on which kept trying to heat up shoes full of water, they kinda did it sometimes.

[@BrandonNevermind]

Mmmm love a good salted chocolate chip cookie!!

[@davidsurfacemusic]

Fun (and crazy) idea!

[@CC58]

Back in the 90s, Nederland had Laura's pastry shop. I would always pack out amazing pastry for hikes in the area. That store is gone now but the memories remain.

[@duzer]

Ooooh!!! Nothing better

[@ForKnFifties]

I would live in Boulder but too expensive 😢 I have to stay more south but we have our own beauty 😊

[@jasonm4695]

Yes. It’s sad. Decades ago I lived just north of Mapleton Hill on Concorde. Boulder City gov raised taxes and all the retired folks in the neighborhood who had raised their kids there and looked forward to their golden years in their neighborhoods had to move because while their homes were paid off, they couldn’t afford the taxes on them.

[@lynnwalker]

I would have died if they were out of cookies. Although, I bet they would have made one just for you! The sea salt on top...😋 Yum!

[@billysbikesbrews7183]

Love this Random Video 🍪 You only had One Cookie ☝️😁.. Gold Hill seems like an Awesome Town.. There’s a Gold Hill in NC.. and it’s one of my Favorite little towns.. I go there for the Gravel Roads & Charming People 🚴‍♂️😎🌞

[@schnell356]

Silliness is great and ya gotta love a Duzer Cruzer! Priority needs to make the Duzer Colorado, a cruzer with mountain gearing. All new Duzer Colorados come with a free cookie! I'll have one please. Good one Ryan.

[@duzer]

Haha!! Love this idea

[@comounaverdura]

Ha ha ha. What a funny video. I loved it. How far would you ride for beans?

[@davidweisz3338]

I moved away from Boulder in 1993 and we did many rides up to Gold Hill. I don’t remember the Gold Hill store - was it always open and as vibrant as it looks now?

[@ForKnFifties]

It's so Old the building probably had a few things over the years

[@jasonm4695]

They’ve definitely upped their game the past 15 years, as has the Ward store and the Jamestown Merc, as far as welcoming cyclists.

[@ExileTheKnightsOfMaltaNow]

You get no attack on hills with the cruiser bike...... I have one of those monster Cruisers as a remedy I turned the handle set upside down backwards forward put a bunch of bar ends wrapped it all with white tape until it looked like a Big Red caribou... goes from handicap to Super Attack... was kind of cumbersome but kept it for several years now I just have a straight bar on it looks old timey

Hey @Ryan Van Duzer, first off, you are (my kind of) nuts. second , do you have any idea when Priority will start selling bikes in the Netherlands? I really woul like to buy either the mountain bike you designed or one of those lovely gravelbikes

[@sapinva]

Pretty ride. How hard is it to change the gear ratio with a belt drive?

[@jasonm4695]

His cruiser in this video has a fixed gear. You can swap out, not too hard. But if you mean changing gears like a chain/cassette bike, you get a Pinion gearbox like his other Priority bikes have. They shift like a dream. I have a Pinion 12 speed gear box on a different model bike. I absolutely love it.

[@sapinva]

@@jasonm4695 But the belt is a fixed size. Do you have to go down one on the front for every one up on the cog?

[@printerror]

@@sapinva The rear drop-outs are on sliders, you can adjust the belt tension to a certain extent.

[@peterbedford2610]

Do Nederland next

[@jasonm4695]

I vote Ned, Ward, Jamestown and Glen Haven (insane cinnamon rolls).

[@lidarman2]

Dude-zer, I am disappointed that you didn't take Lickskillet road down! ;) jk.....but Congrats on making that hard climb.....BTW, over near your house they opened up the Colbalt trail and the Eagle Bypass at Boulder Valley Ranch. I rode them Saturday they are outstanding. With North Sky, the best in-city MTB in north Boulder.

I don't know how long he took, but I Google Mapped the bike route from Boulder to Gold Hill, and it's 2h15m going up and 56m going down!

[@jasonm4695]

I looked up the KOM on Strava - it’s 47 minutes! It takes me about 2 hours these days, and I’m slow. But it is so beautiful and the store is as advertised. You get up there and feel like you accomplished something. And then have their soup of the day. Life is good. Also, the dirt road connecting Gold Hill to Lefthand Canyon is called Lickskillet Road - short, but 21% grade. Another fun way to get up there…
