Every Single Street with Rickey Gates | Salomon TV

Rickey Gates decided to run every single street in San Francisco - to get to know a very small area of America, as well as its people, intimately. With over 1100 Miles of street the film documents Rickey’s journey, and the people he meets long the way, as he runs into midst of one of the most iconic and diverse cities in the world.

I am in the process of doing my home city of Fairfield, CA, inspired by Rickey. Not keeping Rickey's daily rate though. So far I've done 43 days and over 400 miles, averaging close to 10 miles per day. I'm probably about 100-150 miles away from finishing. #EverySingleStreet

[@kdrguru]

NYC!

[@runningwithmarc]

That is so Awesome Brian, best of luck

[@SalomonTV]

That's awesome Brian! Keep us updated when you're about to finish the project! Keep it up.

[@BoIrik88]

I've been dreaming about this in Lisboa

[@danielp4275]

Rickey Gates is my new hero. In this he was showing me what matters: slow down, don’t be afraid of people. Talk to people. Smile.

[@SalomonTV]

So true! We hope it inspired you to give it a try yourself in your own city.

[@mascolad]

This is awesome. I teared up reliving this journey. I finished running every single street in SF a few years ago. I have tons of notes and some great stories. Took me almost 8 years! Glad you did it faster ;) Welcome to the club Rickey! @salomonrunning and #EverySingleStreet

[@SalomonTV]

Amazing Dan! Well done! 👏🏻

[@brunodemattosnogueira325]

I'm an undergraduate computer science student in Brazil. For a course I took, my final project was to find the optimal route that passes through every street in my city, Belo Horizonte. It is exactly the Chinese Postman problem that Rickey described, but without all the running :) This video inspired me to try to it here, thanks!

[@SalomonTV]

Stoked to hear this, Bruno! Let us know how it goes. 😉

[@mateussarmento7692]

Nossa que legal cara!

[@415smallville]

I used to live on gates street as a kid. Moved around here and there but I loved seeing the city so bright and happy. Thank you for this video.

[@SalomonTV]

Glad you liked it Jordan! We hope it inspired you to explore the city! 🙌

[@michaelgrade]

This is such a ridiculously cool film. Rickey is so easy to watch, so calm, thoughtful, good listener. Great role model for empathy. I've got about 13 out of the 49 square miles done. Watching this (again) renews my motivation to keep up my own #everysinglestreet SF project. On on, Rickey.

[@pitotito1]

I can't believe the best Salomon video yet was not filmed in the mountains but in a city. Great work

[@runningwithmarc]

Haha, funny but true

[@SalomonTV]

Haha, stoked to hear you enjoyed this piece! Thanks for the love Reynaldo. 🙏

[@sanfranciscopatriot2837]

Reynaldo Rios San Francisco is a city of mountains.

[@JeffDinkin]

Rickey is one of the coolest cats on the planet!

[@SalomonTV]

He sure is!

[@sunnydas8802]

Rickey, I have been following your "Every single street" series on Strava . It used to be a cursory glance but now that I see the whole ;picture, I realize that every single run was a story in the making. Apart from kindness and appreciation , human beings also love good storytellers . Great job Salomon and of course Rickey.

[@SalomonTV]

Thanks Sunny! Stoked to see someone following from day 1 seeing the final result. We hope it inspired you to give it a try in your own place? #EverySingleStreet

[@jamesdanvers124]

I love running. It’s such an escape for me. I picked up the hobby a few years ago as a self care activity after my ex and I split up in 2018. I moved to London and she moved to SF. My love for running has grown and I discovered Rickey on the rich roll podcast a while back. I’ve been meaning to watch this for a while and got around to it. A population of close to a million people and the ex pops up in this 17 minute video haha. What a funny world. Time for a run

[@rockcreekrunner3837]

Rickey has one of the most beautiful souls in running, and I absolutely love following his adventures. Thanks for the endless inspiration.

[@SalomonTV]

Rickey is the man!

[@Howtowithpaulaandjohn]

Kudos Ricky Gates! Used to be a city girl , Houston, but now I love the wide open spaces.

[@disguised890]

Love seeing a video by Salomon in my hometown. Wish I saw you run in front of my house!

[@SalomonTV]

We had a ton of fun in SF, glad you enjoyed it as a local too. :)

[@tinkerbellruns]

This is so awesome! I run the same streets every day in my town, but now I want to run every street!

[@SalomonTV]

Do it :)

[@monikad5561]

Rickey, you are something else! Just love and admire and appreciate your love for running and for adventures, so much! Keep going and thank you for sharing all of your amazing journeys! ❤️

[@SalomonTV]

Rickey is awesome!

[@adrian.howell]

Incredible work as always, Rickey is such a cool dude!

[@thomaschalupa1042]

Excellent Video. I'm an introvert who hates the city, so it was interesting to see a similar persons perspective and how they have grown from the experience.

[@SalomonTV]

🙏🏻👊🏻

[@bobbydixon4484]

Keep em coming! salomon running videos have been few in the last years.

[@SalomonTV]

It's only the beginning of the new season of running videos, stay tuned for more :)

[@SalomonTV]

You bet! 😉

[@emilsmo]

I'm so doing this!! Thank you!

[@SalomonTV]

Awesome! Don't forget to share it with #EverySingleStreet :)

[@davnadz]

Eeexcellent, Rickey! I've done this on much smaller scale- my home town. Learned that every dead-end results in double distance. Also that T-intersections (or any odd-numbered joints) cost extra distance. It's more efficient to pick them up right away, because trying to come back later to mop-up costs lots of extra distance. It's better to go to farther streets first, as getting there travels over nearer streets. Crossing-grids and stacked zig-zags are good strategies. I use OSMAnd, as it shows current and past tracks. ON-ON!

[@SalomonTV]

Awesome Dav, in which city did you run it? Sounds like you've got some strong tips for anyone looking into this challenge too. Thanks for sharing it.

[@Bled00]

Wow!, inspiring, touching, great shots and tremendous proyect! Enjoyed every single second of it!

[@SalomonTV]

Awesome! 🙌

[@barryparker7272]

I should have done this in Norwich UK, but never had a plan. Almost did it for every country road in Norfolk, by bicycle. Brilliantly alternative. Well done Dean & Ricky.

[@SalomonTV]

Sounds awesome to have done it by bicycle too!

[@peterhyperman]

What a beautiful human. Very inspiring

[@SalomonTV]

Stoked to hear that Rickey has inspired you. :)

[@blahqwe]

I had always wanted to visit SF, two years ago I finally did! This video really does bring the feel of the city to the viewer. Such a great place.

[@michaelgrimes5588]

Sometimes i feel off running in the city...i feel extra aware of air quality during the run, and it gets in my head the flavor of exhaust...well done..

[@TirnanHealy]

It's really nice to be smiling at a video almost the whole time, thank you

[@mikedouglas_]

Such a cool project! Serious props to Ricky for completing it and Dean for a story well told.

[@deanleslie1806]

Thanks Mike! 🙏

[@MedicinSkater]

What an amazing video. The production quality is insanely high and the feeling of the city captured is just so wonderful. I spent last summer running in San Francisco and now I wish I had explored some more. Have to go back I guess!

[@SalomonTV]

Thanks so much Marie, glad you enjoyed this video and that it reminded you some good times from SF. We definitely encourage you to run to explore your own city, it's fun!

[@youngloudandscotty]

16:50 Annapolis representin'! That's too damn funny, being as I'm from there. Also, freaking amazing project. Was so nice to follow on Instagram, and I'm so happy to have watched this little doc. Rickey is a right dude.

[@szwalowski]

Really cool thing. Maybe we all should try to get to know our cities and people in it better.

[@SalomonTV]

For sure, and running is a cool way to do it! :)

[@giff74]

I'd really enjoy seeing Rickey on here more! He's always interesting. That's 28 miles a day for a month and a half with really good vert, that's just as impressive, if not more so, as some of the big 100 miles ultra's.

[@SalomonTV]

Totally agree! It's a really impressive achievement.

[@sturmunro]

Stunning. Beautiful. Amazing. Inspiring. Thanks.

[@alan-l2079]

That’s super cool, I just realised that I never actually paying attention to my surroundings, maybe I should run some different streets in my city too, it’s such a great way to interact with different classes of people.

[@SalomonTV]

You should! Where do you live? It'd be awesome to discover your area this way. Please share your progress with #EverySingleStreet so we can follow along.

[@KornelFlint]

Great story, wish there was a little more detail about his actual running, any sort of stats or charts, my inner geek was missing that, but other than that love it, please bring more stories like this:)

Glad you liked it :)

Awesome video. I noticed my older brother running every street around his area via his strava profile, now I want to do the same because of Rickey.

[@SalomonTV]

Go for it! 🙌

[@BWT599]

@@SalomonTV I will! I found out that my brother was inspired by Rickey so that’s why he has been running every street:). BTW, I’m a long time XA pro GTX user, just got the XA Discovery and they are mega narrow but I’ll get used to them!

[@whatsthestoryborrey5665]

Math, Running and People = Happiness

[@SalomonTV]

Oh yes!

[@SolaceEasy]

Um, similar? In the time I lived at Lake Tahoe I climbed every named or numbered summit with prominence that has drainage into Lake Tahoe. That's a version of obsession as well. Also an opportunity from mindfulness.

[@SolaceEasy]

Um, similar. Last spring I climbed a summit in Saguaro National Park during a 7-day solo backpacking trip. From that summit I could see 107 other summits that I have climbed in southern Arizona. Um, similar. I climbed Mount Charleston last June, and in doing so I connected a "viewshed" of summit to summit from Crater Lake National Park through the hundreds of mountains I have climbed in California's Coast, Cascade, and Sierra Ranges, and more peaks across the expanses of Nevada between two different 13,000' peaks near each border vying to be considered the highest peak in the state, and vistas from southern California mountains and desert summits with views to the Pacific and Mexico. The viewshed from Mount Charleston connected Telescope Peak (& the Sierras) with Hualapai Peak and Mount Logan on the North Rim. Hundreds more peaks connect me throughout Arizona to nearly all borders except for the Navajo Reservation. Peaks and viewshed connect across southern New Mexico to Texas and then north to Colorado where I've climbed dozens more. Whew. Wish I was sponsored, but did get free swag, including free Salomon skis and bindings at one time. Mindful. Obsessed. Both.

[@SalomonTV]

Awesome projects Steve! It goes to show how much love and dedication you have for your sport and exploring your local surroundings. 👏

It's a cool city :) Don't forget your pair of running shoes... 🤗

[@YouNeedToHearThis]

Is the street trace artwork a time-lapse of how he ran or just a random trace of all the streets?

[@chrismarino4280]

I'm doing my city (Grafton, MA). It's no joke when Ricky says that there's a lot of dead ends and not an efficient way to do it. The "out and back" miles add up a lot more quickly than I thought going into it and my town is nothing like San Fran. I'm using www.citystrides.com to track street progress and all my runs are on Strava. I'm 85% done.

[@sharp_guitars2417]

[@aloysiusrubix3171]

Dammit! Rickey got me right in the feels again :) This took me back to my childhood. To young to get a car and to wild to stay at home. I studied the trash on the streets as I ran through them. It told me a lot about where I was and the people I would meet. Great job Rickey! awesome concept and good filmmaking.

[@SalomonTV]

Awesome Sean! We hope you still find some free time to explore your own city, like you used to do :)
