    This might explain the recent uptick in subs over here! It’s fun to see all the butthurt ex-BikeFarmers in the comments. You’re far more likeable than me. I’ll keep sending them your way! ✌️❤️🚲🔧 PS: I also cut my hair and donated it to charity once!

    I would like to say one is not better than the other. I love both channels. As a home mechanic I have learned so much from both of you. I love the different perspectives you both have. You guys are both great! Your videos on the bike industry is great. I live in Iowa and my area is very bike snobbish. I love you both have the attitude to just get on your bikes and enjoy. Not always have the latest and greatest but bringing the average person to the recreation. Thanks for the channel.

    EVERYONE should be on a 🚲 regardless of religion, politics, sex, region, nationality, or heritage. Keep what divides us away from 🚲 riding. Lets all enjoy a 🚲 ride together and leave what divides us behind us in the dust.

    I retired from my bike shop in 2016. I never got any traction on my horrible unedited RUclips videos. I still do the videos and still have my Facebook page...I still build bikes, (but no Huffy's) I still enjoy bicycles immensely. lol...nobody seems to notice my video's. I got like 30 Subscribers... MY TAKE ON YOUR CHANNEL: LET YOUR KIDS GET INVOLVED. 12 YEAR OLD KIDS PREDICT THE FUTURE. YOUR KIDS ARE THE PERFECT AGE...GET THEM INTO professional level 😊VIDEO PRODUCTION AND BICYCLES!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!

      She's eight now and has a very squirrel-like attention span. But she does show a lot of interest in both the bike part and video production. We're working on a fun kid script of "bike murder on the bike path", basically an abandoned bike that is brought back to life in a fun, kid-friendly way.

    Bike Farmer made video on anti helmet use when riding bicycles, trying to sell the story helmets would not prevent injuries. I ended subscription, I refuse misinformation, out of their - won't watch his videos anymore. If a helmet costs you $40 or $150 it is well worth it to possibly lessen a brain concussion or closed head trauma.
