Riding singletracks on a pedal brake bike!

[@s3l1m35]

Its great to see you Yuka, We wish you the best ! keep being RAD!

[@VanGirlYuka]

lol thanks!

[@eightwheeladventures]

Thanks Yuka for all the fun. You certainly inspire our family to enjoy our bikes.

[@jonmarshall1502]

That’s a true adventure. You have a great sense of humour. 👍👍

[@heyjudesadventures]

My friends and I have a video of us trying to ride a Dutch bike. It was hilarious and so hard!! Kudos to you and your friend for bikepacking on these bikes. I really enjoyed this video!!😊😅

[@grantcarter5951]

Absolutely bonkers but I loved watching it, I was smiling the whole time, and I’m sorry but I proper belly laughed when you hit the tree. Excellent video. You’re still my riding inspiration Yuka.

[@VanGirlYuka]

I basically rode straight into the tree without using brake 🤣

[@peet4921]

Thanks for your comment, i was about to post practically the same, but don't have to. Damn, now i'm still typing way more than i wanted.

[@oOTatusaOo]

What a crazy idea! I would never do that with my dutch bike. Glad you had fun on this trip.

[@lightningshredder5605]

In the beginning you were taking it slow but then you started to shred, because you are a shredder! Thanks for the video Yuka always a fun time!

[@Ethelred77]

Haha, this was so much fun to watch! As a Dutch mountainbiker i have never taken my citybike to the woods. Maybe i will give it a try 😅

[@Kinann]

Thanks for taking me back to the Netherlands, Yuka. Rode through here on a road bike going from London to Paris in the mid 90s. Your trails are much more beautiful, you are inspriting.

[@VanGirlYuka]

I couldn’t believe so much forests in the Netherlands✨

[@Kinann]

@@VanGirlYuka I wanted to live there att, so nice. Here at home, we had beach cruisers to ride around work buildings, they were basic bikes like yours w/coaster brakes and no front brakes. Your bike looks even more worn and then you loaded up a step thru frame on dirt! You are very brave🌹 Can't wait for your next adventure.☺

[@nilramos8196]

The video about your ride in Japan was beautiful, this was hilarious! (I'm sure Seth would approve ... ;) Who knew there was so much single track and elevation in the Netherlands!? By doing non-typical MTB things, you are making your channel super interesting! Have you thought of making T-shirts that say "Oyokosho"? :))

[@ouagadougou62]

Wow, lots of trails in the Netherlands. When I was a kid in Canada, most of the bikes were like that. We learned to ride on those kind of bikes. Only a few had 3 speeds. Later 10 speeds, road bikes came out, that was a great improvement.

[@ramdynebix]

When I learned to ride bikes *everybody* had coaster brakes! And you can definitely brake while standing up, it just doesn’t feel right.

[@VanGirlYuka]

I just accidentally back pedal multiple times and almost go over the bars 😓 it definitely didn’t feel right…

[@Flyingcow2021]

Such a fun adventure, perhaps made more exciting by the precarious choice of bike!

[@phyllisputnam2069]

What a great adventure, you go girl 🎉❤

[@CollinOnTheTrails]

Glad you enjoyed the Dutch trails💪 we try to make the most of the small hills out here!

[@stevengeorge5605]

Well done and thank you for this video!

[@VanGirlYuka]

I hope you had fun watching😁

[@christyrykelyk4720]

Haha I love this video! Great that you are exploring the Dutch mtb trails with a Dutch bike haha! Unfortunately mountainbiking is not big here, but I do know some good spots tho! I also built my own van this year and am now travelling for a few months while also visiting some sick bikeparks. Just wanted to say, if you need help building your van or need a friend to go biking with in the Netherlands and show you some good spots, just hit me up! Hope you have fun

[@jime2504]

Very entertaining and fun!

[@heimdall4148]

7:30 that is a proper dutch mountain!

[@jacquikennedy9671]

So funny. Loved it.

[@Carlos-the-cyclist]

You made that ride look fun I haven’t ridden a bike with coaster brakes in a very long time.

[@chagothegreat]

Holy crap, got to love shitty-bike tube, please keep making these! This is much more realistic and attainable for people.

[@Sandermtb]

Nice job Yuka, maybe we’ll met on a dutch mtb trail one day!

[@bonneharkema2458]

Yaaay Yuka! Hope you had fun! Greetings from Assen. I know MTB Gieten very good.

[@VanGirlYuka]

It might not show it but I had a blast. It was super fun 🤣

[@gibran4572]

you are the best!!

[@wordreet]

Heehee! I bought an Electra beach cruiser last year for £80. It had a back pedal brake for the rear, but also a normal front brake, as it's a illegal requirement in the UK. I hated the back pedal brake so much! I'm 70 and have used normal brakes for 65 years! So I had a local bike shop remove the back pedal mechanism!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhh! It's heaven to have a normal back brake!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to hug my bike ! 🤗 It's still a cruiser though, so I also changed the handlebars for "cow horn" type bars, as I also hated the swept back bars. Hahahaha! I hated my new bike so much! 😂 But I like it now, as long as I stick to the canal and riverside promenade! How many !!! did I use in this comment???! 🤔😑

[@katesmiles4208]

I love the style ❤. 😂

[@RevJohnDixonII]

That was funny. I remember when i was 14 years old i a cheap bmx bike that wasnt very light. I lived in washington state. I dragged that thing through wood, up huge hill in the woods. Watching you reminded me of that. I traded my bmx for a cheap ten speed with wider than road bike tires. I used it like it was a mountain bike too. 😊

[@Lizzie_MTB]

What a fun adventure! And great example of persistence and positive outlooks paying off

[@VanGirlYuka]

I learned that it doesn’t matter what kind of bike you ride. You can always find a way to have fun 🤩

[@Lizzie_MTB]

@@VanGirlYuka So true 🙌

[@waynerhode6470]

Great to see you laughing and smiling again Yuka! This bike, on those relatively easy trails must be one of the sketchiest things you've ever tried.

[@evikoevoet3793]

I would love to bike with you in The Netherlands if you are still around!!!🥳

[@topulama3424]

Nice to see you again in full spirit....

[@VanGirlYuka]

Yeah, that was fun 😁✨

[@EdWilsonPhoto]

Love ya Yuka!!

[@flowstateofmind]

Yuka on an 'omafiets', who would have thought that! You should really visit some of our proper trails on your mountainbike though. I'd be glad to show you one of our most technical trails!

[@bumbling_bikes]

There are technical trails in the Netherlands?! Where? It is all so flat! I am Dutch and started biking there but it was more like XC - no?

[@flowstateofmind]

​@@bumbling_bikes it are often secret locations along the german border and there are some bikeparks

[@gord_collins]

I thought you were going to jump that log :)

[@mrvwbug4423]

That's certainly one way to spice up those trails haha. Even a gravel bike would've made those trivially easy.

[@stokedstephi]

Hi Yuka, hope you’re doing well!

[@Grimspocyrob]

Awesome video thanks for sharing 😁

[@VanGirlYuka]

Thank you for watching 😘

[@simonjonkhout3353]

[@pablojpiccoli]

A old model bikes, this so much saudade from the past. Today i have a MTB model, parts very expensive, times after times.

Loved it Yuka. Studied in Groningen and lived there for 9 years. Reminds me of good old times. You should ride the Utrechtse heuvelrug, if you're still in rhe Netherlands. Maybe leave the omafiets though...😂

[@dralbertpakin8895]

This was so fun to watch. I don't like to ride bike s but I love your videos.

[@VanGirlYuka]

Thank you for watching 😁

[@rockyetsx70]

Another riding video without any jumps, this is becoming a habit. 😏 But still some great crash footage. 😵This looked harder than your grandmother's bike video in Japan. In the 60's we used to ride crazy things on coaster brake mustang style bikes with 20" wheels, banana seats and riser bars, and crashes were really common.

[@VanGirlYuka]

Is it possible to do manual with a Dutch bike? I was scared to even try…

11/6/2024: looking forward to new videos 🙏🏼✌🏻

[@quadrum41]

Probably i wouldnt be impressed by this video if i havent ridden my grandpa's old bike (ussr made, steel frame, single speed, 28 wheels, plastic grips, cheap pedals, and overall heavy)

[@OttoRocket1]

As a dutchie, respect. Those bikes suck haha. Can't believe you said, in the beginning; " it is only 210 km ". Like it's nothing. Glad for you, you started in the top of the netherlands. Not much of elevation there compared to the south ( south - Limburg )

[@VanGirlYuka]

I thought most of the route was on road…turned out it was a lot of single tracks!!

[@jean-marcvienne]

Good luck

[@KevinT3141]

Great video Yuka! Other than the built in locks, those bikes have no redeeming qualities...

[@fb39ca4]

20 euros to buy one is a redeeming quality.

Great video Yuka!! Kinda different without full suspension, disc brakes, and 11 speeds huh?

Those bikes are really not that bad. Rode one like that as a kid for thousands of miles on and off road. Three sizes too big, coaster brake and rubber pedals.

Once I got used to it, it was okay 👌 but then I got too relaxed and crashed into the tree…

[@cheriemason4241]

hey yuka a was wondering if you were still going to be riding you mtb at bike parks anymore?

[@Raminmarciano]

Absolutely mad you used that bike to ride single track. I don't think any mountainbiker that lives in the Netherlands would willing do that 😅

[@brendan1]

Those bikes are so weird. Why would they put the grips pointing at you? You're a brave soul Yuka! I bet you wish you were on your real bike :)

[@VanGirlYuka]

Nah. It would’ve been too easy and boring! I laughed so much on that bike 🤣

[@fivetool]

You love to punish yourself, Yuka. A cheapy Walmart bike would have been better than using that thing. :) Great content, as always.

[@mrvwbug4423]

A Walmart bike probably would've broken on the first day. Those dutch bikes may be very outdated, but they never break.

[@fivetool]

@@mrvwbug4423 I am sure it is made well, but some of the modern amenities like suspension, gearing and hand brakes would have made the riding much more pleasant.

[@VanGirlYuka]

But look at the bike! It’s so beautiful✨ I love Dutch bikes. Ever since I saw the bike in the Netherlands I was determined to go for a bike packing with it 🥰

is this the last of yuka..?

The normal commuter bike you used isn't usefull on MTB/off road tracks and we Dutchies don't use those paths with a normal commuter bike. We use the normal hardened bike paths when we travel with our normal commuter bike. What you did is crazy and out of your mind. Use a mountain bike the next time when you want to ride off road. Indeed the dumbest idea you had!!! I couldn't watch it to the end.

Are Yuka and Eric still a couple? Awesome trip!!

Well, you picked a noodley step through bike frame. Then you put all the baggage weight up high. Next it's a single speed that you didn't gear for you. What could go wrong? Ha!
