Welcome to my Cycling Channel. I upload videos at least 3 times a week, everything about cycling, product reviews, workouts and other cool content.
Here is my 2021 Emonda SLR • Trek Emonda SLR Projec...
Here is my Channel / @jonmaloneycycling7593
Jon keep doing you man. You've found the balance to have fun with your hobby and spending valuable time with your family. Haters gon' hate man!🤜🤛 Side note: the Emonda is sick and is the hottest bike going right now!
thanks!!!
Yep best bike at momment
“Ride your bike and have fun”. That’s what it’s all about! Living the simple life and not giving a $hit about what others think.
Appreciate your candour.
thank you
So similar to our story, thanks for sharing man. I was a professional in health care working just to keep up with my peers and show off the hottest new car I could lease or the biggest home I could afford. No time cycling, stressed to the gills with my wife, we both almost split. After birth of our son and an unexpected chronic illness diagnosis as well as severe career burnout, we switched to new careers and never looked back. Sold the mini mansion, got rid of the lux cars, and started riding again as much as I could. Do I make as much? Nope, but could care less. More freedom and to focus on managing my health.
thank you for sharing and all the best
This is why I love this channel. No BS. Straight shooter from the heart. For sure money isn't the end all and be all. You have a great life now and it shows in your content. Best to you!! Thanks!! Keep up the awesome work. Fan for life😀
thank you so much for the kind words
I respect your message. I've never had alot of money but have done ok for me. I am never happier than when I am on the bike. I recently downsized and donated most of my household belongings and got rid of alot crap in storage. I dont miss it at all. I am always looking for my next bike though.
thank you for sharing!
Grear video Jon.... you are so fortunate to be in the place you are but you did the work to get there! Whats more impressive is the fact that you took a step back and were able to walk away from it 👍🙏
thanks bro, appreciate it
GREAT video; you make a lot of sense - stay safe, man!
thank you, same to you!
Excellent perspective ! Thank you for this and best wishes to you and your family.
thank you and same to you!
Thank you for all your clips. Especially this one.
np! glad you enjoyed
Bravo John. Life’s too short to worry about what other people think.
exactly!!
Simply and amazing story ... Opens up once eyes for sure. Thanx for sharing
thanks for watching
Good for you! I am new to your channel and love the content. Really appreciate your straightforward approach and lack of bullshit...with a smile.
thanks so much!!
Humility is a fine trait to have John, that's why so many of us appreciate your view of the world. Who wouldn't want to be the happy guy with a beautiful Émonda, sorry family 😳😂 ...?
thank you
Dude appreciate your honesty!
thank you
Ya I would rather have stuff and toys than a big castle to fall back in. Maintenance is cheaper on the bike than on a house anyway even if it is carbon and press fit BB.
agreed
You go alright man good on ya for being so grounded 👍
thank you
Lol was that my comment? That was ages ago. I got over it after finding out you're retired. More power to you.
Also to be clear, I was thinking this guy is frivolously spending all his money on his bikes when he has a young family and living in a small apartment. It's good to know your kids won't be out on the street bc their dad was terrible with money.
thanks for the comment
Absolutely wonderful vid Jon! Happiness and health is the most important!!
couldn't agree more!!
Kudos to u bro. That was one heck of a decision to make ur life better, and that's respectable. It takes a pair of balls to do it.
All for the family and happiness. 🤜🏻🤛🏻
thank you, appreciate it
Great video, so many people have been through what you have.
thank you
Hey Bro,
Very honest and revealing, life is too short not be content and happy and realizing what is truly important. Cycling is beautiful on so many levels. Keep riding.
Be well...
thank you for the comment, all the best to you!
Enjoy the time with your family and taking your health , you don't get any of it back once it's gone 💯 appericate your testimonial!
thank you!!
Great video! Maybe in the future you can talk about how you raise your kids to have a similar mindset, since I presume they are already set for life.
thank you
Wow! This is wayy deeper than just bikes! Millions and millions should see and hear those words - from crazy ‘influencers’ to millionaires! You are a hero, subscribed!
wow thank you so much!!
I am super happy for you and I really like you! Much love from Singapore!
thank you
Well said sir. Life's too short to waste it trying to overachieve. You gotta enjoy it. We won't be here later.
exactly!
Loved your message and your life perspective!!!
thank you
I mean I know what you're trying to say and appreciate the intended message, but owning two homes, owning a car, wearing Assos kit and having bikes worth $15k is still well out of the reach for most people - certainly for me. Its hardly choosing poverty and happiness over wealth. Its more choosing "lots of wealth" versus "lots and lots of wealth".
thank you for your perspective
You are living my dream life. Way to Jon 👍
thank you
The more you have the more people want to take. You're doing it right. I hate being around the types of people that only talk about what they have. I live in a small condo and I have lots of expensive bike stuff. Sure some other cyclists may get jealous or think badly about what I spend on bike stuff but that's all I have and I'm happy. I drive a minivan also. Always have always will until I don't even own a car anymore which is what I'm trying to achieve.
thanks for sharing, all the best
Very well said! Respect!
thank you!!
Jon that is about life n love cycling don’t care what people comment important stays healthy pedal every day with our beautiful bike 🚴
thank you!!
You are cool and your bike is veary nice you deserv a nice bike .i have a trek marlin 7 this august i Am Geting A New Trek Excaliber 8 .Take Care And Ride Safe

thank you
PERFECTLY SAID!!!
thanks, appreciate it
This is an eye opener. Cheers from Wasaga Beach!
Cheers, Jon. Great story. Well said
thank you
You deserve more subs,, my bro 🤙🤙
thank you
Looking from the U.K., if a person has a house but also lives in an apartment half the year, they would be considered to be pretty rich financially.
My house cost £70,000 and still paying the mortgage, no second home/apartment, and in the U.K. perspective, I’m doing pretty good.
🤔🤔 interesting to understand perspectives
thank you for sharing
custom madon is no longer available in PO, i think new madon is coming.
Nice
All you need is serenity and time.
You can't buy time!
Time is the most precious resource.
agreed!!
You sound a great genuine guy Jon. Good to see honesty, there's so much bullshit around and thinking you know people when you don't. Keep those vlogs coming jon there great info. 👏👏👍
thanks so much, appreciate it
Thank you for sharing this!
thanks for watching!
Love your story man it inspired me thanks 😍😍
thank you
Good 1 Jon!😎
thanks
Good skills!!!!!!
thank you
Thanks for the honest video.
thanks for watching, appreciate it
This is the goal. Anyone who thinks having a lot of money is a good end goal is, frankly, an idiot. I used to think that way too. What really changed my mindset is when I became hooked on watching documentaries on successful companies/businesses. You'd see how these sometimes ordinary people went from nothing to becoming billionaires, and in a few short decades, are old and withered away. They spent their whole life in the corporate game, and for what? Many of them had really bad family situations, and regardless, their money is not going in the grave with them. They're just old and grey like everyone else. You only get one life to live. Spending it trying to make a ton of money is just a terrible approach IMO. Unfortunately, the materialistic consumerist society that we live in encourages that, and it is almost impossible to escape. The only real way to not feel disappointed in yourself and like you're worth less than a billionaire/celebrity/influencer/whoever else is to just tune out of that trash. Don't follow those types of people on Instagram, youtube, etc. Just live your life and worry about yourself and your own hobbies. Lately, I've even cut out most mainstream music for that reason. Thanks for the video, Jon!
thank for you this comment!!
simple is good. I have never seen a tow hitch on a hertz yet
Yes, thanks
I got a fairly pricey bike myself. Our home is modest. I figure when or if the peanut butter hits the fan, a descent bike is priceless. It does not use gas, it is easier and cheaper to maintain and it connects me to the environment better than a car ever will. My bike is made of steel, not carbon fiber, because I just like steel. Steel frames if broken can be welded whole again. There are health benefits to using a bike for ordinary errands. Maybe, using a bike also has some benefits for the planet.
thank you for the comment!! appreciate it
Great video my friend…
thank you
Hey JM like ur style and yes i agree with u "Why should u give a shit" people have no rite judging u their just jealous.spitefull .Stay strong brother keep the vids coming RK usmc /retired

Tucson, AZ

thanks for the comment!
Amén!!! 🚴🏽♂️💨👍🏼
thanks man
great! real millionaire - ride on
thank you
Hi Jon. Alvin here from Drumheller,AB. I’m thinking of replacing my stock BB to a ceramic type or which ever is best. I am riding a ‘21 Trek Emonda SL5 but it’s been upgraded to Di2 already. I wonder what kind of BB you got on your bike and If it’s stock or not? I am not sure what to order and it’ll be greatly appreciated if you can help me or guide me on this. Thank you so much in advance!
Thanks man, I have never used a ceramic BB, never thought they were worth the money, I really like the wheels manufacturing BBs
Question. Do you think you would be equally happy if you had a less fancy bike? ie. mid range, mechanical etc.
If you really love cycling, you know it will still be happy with less fancy bike, and if you have the money why not spend more on your bike to have more smile on your face bro 😚🤩
Yes, for sure!
Jon, do you think about branching out into gravel riding or Mountain Biking with your son?
Yes, we have already started Mtb
Jon, Well said Bro.. who gives a $hit ! you do you and what makes you happy Bro.
thank you
how did you make the money at first ?
In real estate
Great stuff
thanks
You are truly blessed and living the dream,. Doesn’t matter what other people think, do what makes you happy. Keep up the good work bud💪
thanks so much
Sell your semi-big house in CA an buy rhe most minimal home you can feel comfortable in. Put all that extra money away and rent split your time in the US and CA evenly.
Most cyclists have the cheapest cars ,but the most expensive bikes. I used to love cars, but no one doesn't really care what car you drive expect you. You will gain some ghout /frame for a second . when you go home and realize that you can buy groceries or pay for the rent . It doesn't make any sense. I looked at everyone and everyone does basically the same thing. We get a job , married , have kids , buy car and a House. It like everything is templated and when you do things differently people does watch you like he crazy. I like do things differently and it does make me stand out from the rest . It what makes you happy, you either want to leave a mark on the world or not .
Sorry for the long rant
Exactly!! thanks for sharing
I have to say, the comment is really off-putting. It assumes that it’s a financial decision or prioritization. In fact, everyone differs. I know people that don’t think twice about their dwelling. As long as it’s safe and comfortable, they’re good. I know others who have to have the best address, the most pristine home, and most modern decorations. It’s the same with bike equipment. I see bikes on the bike path that look really heavy and old. I see others that cost more than my first car. (Granted, I’m older so my first car wasn’t what they are today in price…even indexed for inflation.) As long as the cyclists are happy enough to ride the bike, it’s the right bike for them. People shouldn’t assume that their standards are the same that others follow; that’s not how life works.
great perspective, thank you for sharing
You been through the Holland marsh?
Yes, its very nice there
Respect:)
thank you
So you live around Aurora?
No, I live near barrie
Appreciate the humbleness. I’m curious, are you training for any competitions?
Thanks man, yes I will do some local races this year!
Thought you are American! Retired? Good for you.
thank you
So what if you want to live in a small apartment and have expensive bikes? It’s your business, you are happy your family is happy all is well. And that’s all that matters. But you know haters are going to hate. Both my bikes cost nearly as much as my car lol, buts it’s nobody’s business!!! I am always smiling when go out for a ride lol I have project one bikes as well. 2020 Madone SLR and a 2020 fuel Ex.
agreed, thanks for the comment!
Yay
thanks
Ignored them,please stay positive, cheers 🍻
thank you, all the best!!
👍🏻💪🏻🚴🏻♂️
thanks!!
Good for you man. There are so many pretentious tryhards in cycling (especially in Ontario) it's refreshing to see someone with such a grounded outlook.
thank you!!
Good father and good man, becoming the richest man, but lost the family, it is meaningless
thanks for the comment
SOLID
thanks
I loved the so much!
I have a friend who is like the old you. Fancy cars, 1k sheets, expensive Time bike, (that is to much bike for him) but he is always juggling bills and basically broke after his paydays, because is is so overextended, trying to impress people. It makes no sense to me. I sold my car years ago, do everything by bike, got rid of my credit cards and live within a budget, and have a good amount in savings. Idaf what other people think about what I have or don't have, I just live my life how is best for me.
You do you, and be happy.
thanks for the comment, appreciate it
My grandfather always told me "if you cant afford it...you cant enjoy it".
Nice
👌👌👌👌👍
thank you
