The Iron Horse Acquisition: Cycling Chennai's Markets 🇮🇳

- ■ INDIA, CHENNAI: Planing on surveying the lands of Chennai extensively in a single day I decided Iw as in the market for a bicycle. But not just any bicycle! The more rusty, ancient and archaic the better. A couple of days ago I ran into just such a cycle and tried to buy it. The owner refused to sell, possibly because he didn't understand I was being serious or as I wanted to complete the purchase using Dollars.
Buying a used bicycle in Chennai was going to be an uphill struggle I realized. On three more occasions I offered $100 for used bicycles worth maximum $5. Each time the owner laughed and said no!
Dejected, sitting in a rickshaw on my way to the hotel and on the verge or giving up my dreams of cycling around Chennai... a stroke of lucks ent from heaven.
I spotted a bicycle repair shop out the window. I saw the street name in Google maps and decided that this street and possibly shop would be my last chance at acquiring one....

First they took our spices, raw materials, intellectual properties and now our bicycle 🚲
😢
🔥⚔️😎
The butter chicken recipe is next 😋
😂😁😇
He could have bought 4 bicycle with that money lol 😂
@@HaraldBaldr next he is gonna open british empire at Europe
I want Harald to conquer, and run the states now. It would be a dream.
The best thing about that kid that helped with the bike is he never asked for money. Even at the end you said bye and he did not bug you. And was really happy you gave him the money in the end.
Anyone knows how much Harld gave to that kid?
@@Water02looked like a crispy us 100. Good man Harald
@@jabane 🙌
Yep it was definitely a benji
just wanna let you know that, that kid asked money from that guy before Harald give him the money , i am tamil and i live in Norway .
The kid's self respect is commendable. He is a great salesman and didnt ask money after the deal.
I was like aww is he really not gonna give him a tip then he did xd, that's why i love him
@slayersboxer915 which really is the right thing to do atp....even of it's simply a small appreciation!
I speak Tamil, the local language and the kid asked the guy who sold the bike for his share of the deal on camera
@@scottandrouse3971 I knew that kid was going to get a finder fee . Why else would he take him to him. His inexperience was he didn’t know Harald would gift him also.
At 1:20:00 absolutely handled like a pro. The way you went back, didn't get angry, stood your ground and told him he was very unfriendly. Glad you left it in, a quick masterclass.
Plus i imagine he didn't want the wrath of a true Viking!
💯
Haha still people call him fake German or waanabe Canadian
I think it definitely scared him and caught him off guard a bit to have a true northman actually stop and call him out in his own hood for that childish behavior. 💯
He should try this in south central LA
@Dumbumula111 🤣 I had similar thoughts. If he happened to be in another country in a different hood it would have been a way worse situation. In south central though they ain't gonna just slap the back of his head while you walk by and theres a high chance there will be multiple all with heaters lol. He probably wouldn't go into those hoods alone in the first place so I think when that guy slapped him it was quite the surprise. 🤣
The tea vendor at 1:17:10 was not actually giving bad vibes, he was actually very embarassed and was saying to the kid "why did u bring him to my shop" (meaning - could have taken you to a much nicer shop rather than the one in the slum)
The boy did a great job helping/filming! You are so generous Harald.
He was really cool 🇮🇳
A man of the people and a Re-cycler.
@@HaraldBaldrI missed you my man 🧢
@@HaraldBaldrcoronavirus 😂😂😂 it’s bad racism
That kid really deserves that tip, he was really helpful and kind. Hope he don’t get rip off when trying to exchange the 100$!! Harald amazing video as always, showing the real india 🇮🇳 ❤
He spoke great English. He’ll be able to figure out the exchange rate
I never judge anyone but your explanations about the bargains and the Indian mentality is actually eye opening and very helpful for context. Thank you for being so aware and informative while also being very entertaining at the same time. Feels like traveling the world with you ❤
You're a one man army haraldo 😊
You don't complain even when it's so hot and sweating like crazy..
You just like to enjoy the real life of locals.
That's why you are the best travel youtuber until now 😊
🙏🏻
@@HaraldBaldr Why the trip to india so short this time? Please come back Harald.
I recently flew of an electric bike and 6 weeks later legs still healing. I couldn’t ride in India …be safe ❤
Remember so clearly in my 20’s arriving alone in Delhi for my first 6 month trip around north, to explore meditate, wow I fell in love with this country and people, reliving it now with you ….until I am free from mum duties to return to my mother land
I just want to say 💋😻😻💋🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 before I go to sleep happy after your vid
This is a masterpiece. Pretty impressive to hold the camera and ride a bicycle with no brakes in the streets of Chennai 😅 Great start to the Indian series 🇮🇳
That has to be a major death deifying challenge..
he did this in himalayas, with even a worse bike, this one should be easy for him
It's called the real talent😂😂
1:19:04 yes Harald , this is best way to counter against such people. You did the right thing to speak up with that bad dude 👍
@@gsomethingsomething2658 110% lol 💪
Personally, I don't think I could have been as nice to him as Harald was. I would have been BIG mad at that blatant disrespectful attack.
@@yoyoglock4 he did the right thing by not overreacting. Harald confronting and staring him down already had little man shitting himself. He didn't expect him to turn around and call out that BS
Jihadi Mulla ! He is.
I'd rather not go to jail or get stabbed in the streets of a third world country. Better to keep walking and let it go. This is coming from someone who's had a temper most their life.
"Tiger cat, strong name. Not Salad." That interaction made me bust out laughing. Never stop with the amazing conversations you have Harald. Thanks for the video!
Thank you very much Harald for this video. It truly shows that this was not an easy video to make. Pushing that awful bike around, which at times looked more of a hinderance than help. Your stamina through the day was good but obviously you were drained towards the end.
Again, thank you for sharing such an insight in to the real India. Your videos are very much appreciated. ❤
'real india', what is real? Poverty or the countless rich history, culture and the many kingdoms and present wealth of India?
If we don’t stop him, he will buy all the bicycles in Chennai.
Me and my Northmen berserkers plan on acquiring a whole fleet of bicycles in Chennai 😎
Guess we will be colonised by Norwegian cyclists now, what a time to be alive 😂😅
Surrender or face the consequences!!! 🙂 We're also going to raid every restaurant for Butter Chicken!!!! 😋
@@harshilkant3731😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I love the way harald trolls everyone in the funniest but most respectful way. Too funny. Not many traveler has humor like this lol.
🍺
@@HaraldBaldrman come back to Nepal
@@majnuutuladhar8495KUMAR WAITING😂❤
I don't get it, it's l8ke he's doing it for his own entertainment (and his viewers). I get a weird vibe from him, as I'm sure plenty of his encounters agree. Are his ancestors related, perhaps?😮😂
gun :D
So fun! Glad you addressed how different people in different parts of the world might interpret these experiences in unique ways. Amazing content as always, please keep it up!!
This is what makes you unique in making the videos and makes it enjoyable to watch it at the same time. You gotta love the bluntness, the joking around. Not always watching what your are about to say but just say what's on your mind. It's stuff like this you appreciate it more. Because there is no hidden agenda, your not pushing any topic on anyone. It's just a Mr. Harald being out there and taking us with him. Kudo's to you! Like the majority of your subscribers or followers, pay whatever you like, say whatever you like just don't stop being you. Keep them videos comming!
This is quite possibly going to be up there with the Zanzibar ride, if not better. From progressive Lance dodging King Feemer, to the Knights of Rati Devi, to Phuc Flair, porking Coppercab's sister, hunting hogs, and trekking the himalayas while staying in touch with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi's best friend; you never stop excelling, Heraldo. Not to mention all the kindness you have showed to Sunil and his foundation. You're the goat at the top of the fireball peak of RUclips.
Stay strong, brother. Seeing your videos pop up after a long day is always welcome viewing.
From your #1 Aussie Gongo Hunter.
🍺😎
Everything I wanna say u said it thanks for that 😭😍
This guy is genius 🔥🙏🏼
@@HaraldBaldr and no need to reply to this one but that outro was so accurate. You're thinking about so much while you vlog and so many people expect you to think exactly the same as them.
It's not fair, mate.
Hope you got a good rest on the Sunday.
And faki party😂
@cantoshk7923 hope he's doin good too, be a cool update one day hopefully
Could you imagine how amazing this footage would be when looking at it after another 30-40 years later...!!.....thx Northman...!!!!
It would be the same , crazy people begging
Crazy people? Like the kids starving in the streets. Have some perspective.
Takk for gode filmer. Setter stor pris på det!
Another fantastic adventure video. Loved the bar scene and of course the genuine raw interactions with the locals.
The drink you had for 25 rs is an healthy finger millet porridge kind of drink with yogurt , it’s very traditional to drink this in summer , even the millennials living in Chennai don’t want to try it !! Great to see you try it and biking in Chennai
She gave him a flying kiss 😅
@@pmanificationyes bro 😂😂😅
Seeing this for the first time
@@pmanification that woman was beautiful joy.
Oh!
If the millenials don't want it...
I'M IN!
But wait. I am a millenial... Nah. I think I'll pass.
The man's mad!! Cycling in that traffic one handed and filming. He deserves all his fame.
you have the knack of recognising people verbally or monetary at the right moment for their hard work and honesty. Much appreciable Harald. I have never seen you talking in a disrespectful manner about any religion, culture or people and I hold a high respect for you on that. I would want to sum up your journeys in a quote that I believe in LIFE - Learning Is For Ever....Take care, and let me know if you in Bengaluru, India. Would love to catch up...
So happy that you are back. Forget about the haters and complainers and you know whats! I am entertained and enlightened by your adventures. I can travel through you. Keep on keepin' on!
Harald is our Tour de Chennai champion. 🥇
Was in Chennai in 2002 similar experience to Harold very friendly people, relatively clean, didn't see many homeless people compare to Mumbai or Delhi. Also by the sea.
Great videos, great sense of humor, entertaining, intelligent, very different from the boring stuff from most of other youtubers. I am addicted. Thank you for sharing all that. All the best.
🍺
This is an outstanding video, thank you for sharing and keep up the good work !
I love the long videos. Not only the entertainment for us, but you can tell Harald wants to try keep everything in because it’s all genuinely interesting and fun to him. Love his genuineness
I love the way Harold gets down deep in the culture and helps people along the way, good karma.
Yes sir.💫
The way you not take tension after paying high price for cycle is commendable....salute and lots of respect for you...
How Harald did stand his ground against the bully that was Epic !! 😂
Well done 👏🏻
With this being said people seem nice in India so it’s definitely a country i’d like to visit..
HARALDS! YOUR CONTENTS ARE UNIQUE, SIMPLE,OUTRAGEOUSLY ENTERTAINING AND DIRECT TO THE POINT.WHOEVER DOESN'T LIKE THEM DEFINITELY LACK THE FIVE SENSE. Much love ❤ and support from Kenya.
🙏🏻
Your avatar indicates that you and Harald are kindred spirits. You need to travel the world with a camera, now, I think.
That's True Rono... I have been telling Helard to travel to Kenya soon. How beautiful it will be seeing Helard in the streets of Nakuru Town.
Now this is the real India guys!
- Harald approves
Great video as always. Great life lessons Harald 💯
Awesome vid, thanks Harald, keep going your way, this is the way we enjoy ❤
Excellent adventure Haraldo!! I love seeing the real thing when you're filming these interesting communities you come across. Such nice people and so respectful, except for that one guy, but there's one in every crowd. Thank you and bless you, good to see you again.❤👍🏽🙏🏽
The drink that you had at 14:40 minutes from the lady is made from Buttermilk , rice and raagi (finger millet). It helps you keep cool during summers and also fills your stomach and makes you drowsy. It's a healthy drink 🙂.
it’s more like a meal than a drink here 😋🤤
I found it weird that she added onions and milk together. Strange combination.
@@ahmedkamalhasin2070 Buttermilk!
ALWAYS love the content and look forward to the next video!
very brave of you to support the right of filming and traveling as a foreigner in india, you responded very gentlemanly and the guy might not do it again in the future
Always stand up to bullies
Your India vlogs are always gems! Stop listening to these comments just keep being yourself a lot of us enjoy how genuine you are. I’ve had so many laughs tonight thank you
Incredible video. So many funny and fun interactions. Your channel just keeps getting better!
Det du gör är mycket bra tycker jag och tänk inte på vad folk tycker 👍🏼
Bra jobbat norrman
Lycka till ✌🏼
Man that random guy who punched @harold ruined it for me. I am glad you turned around and confronted him. Well handled. Never again will he try to pull that off again.
I haven't got that far and will see why someone is punching. Some people are in a stupid place in life we can only wish them healing.
@@UnPluggingThePlayer thanks for giving him the benefit of doubt. Unfortunately it’s a common trend to do stupid things like this to boast about it later. Similar things happen when two people on a bike will ride by slapping random people walking/standing on street. Just bad childish behavior carried on to adulthood among those who have no responsibility in life.
Love your India Videos Harald! Great to see your progression, with how much more of the culture you have learned on each new visit!
Never a bad video Harald! Awesome work even though it looked really tiresome with the heat and that (pardon my Swedish) skitcykel 😅.
Good to see you on the road again.
Great video again, Harold! Thanks for making such awesome content! Hero.
I really appreciate Harald for the things you do to get you content real and genuine
🍺
Hard to pick out a favorite part because the whole video was epic, but at 1:22:17 when Haraldo tells how much he paid, the man's shocked face is priceless!
Thanks for sharing the heartbeat of the cultures you visit, so educational, so intriguing like no other documentary, beautiful. Keep on traveling ❤
Thanks for sharing!! Keep them coming please!!
I very proud of what your channel has become. I was here when you had less than 3k followers. When u travelled Europe and etc. always great content mr baldr!
The people of India seem to be so friendly and kind hearted! We have been watching your videos for a few years now, thank you Harald for taking us with you on your adventures!
You really inspire me to use my money for interactions when im on vacation in a foreign country, like you have with the local people. its really the best of both worlds, you give and you get in so many ways
You videos taught us humanity. Thank you for being real, kind, funny and articulate. Keep it coming! ❤
Thanks for the awesome content man! This video literally made my day a great one. Keep the video coming please 🙏
🙏
Just wanted to let you know that I thoroughly enjoy all of your content and whenever you post it implies a good day ! Thank you and really look forward to the future content to come, keep at it and stay safe. Cheers and all the best!
Harold I’m absolutely LOVING this India series. You have a unique gift of making the most chaotic places seem not so scary. This is what travel vlogs should strive to be. Showing the real side of life in these places, not always polished or beautiful, but real. Thank you so much for all that you’ve given us over the years, it’s much appreciated!!
Amazing video! Loved every minute of it except at the end when I saw that look in your face. I suffered brutal heatstroke and I had that same exact look and feel. Man I’m glad you seemed to pull through in the end because sometimes with heatstroke you get beyond the point of no return. I had in south east Asia and it snuck up on me very suddenly. Please be careful bro and thanks again for the great introduction to Chennai. Always amazing content.
Your videos are great Harald, please keep them coming!
Thank you Harald for another banger of a video. Once again you have got my day off to a great start. ✌️❤️🇬🇧👍
Had a tiring day today. Watched this bLog with parents, we laughed, had a good time. they didn't understand the Harold's accent so I explained in between the conversations of Harold. Loved it. Wish I could meet you some day Harold. Love your perspective of looking at things.❤
Just discovered your channel 2 or 3 days back. Love the authenticity in your videos, awesome ❤️
50:30 by far the funniest moment in his youtube career! (The head shrug after the wig) It cracked me up so much i got a cramp 😂 great to have you back in India.. this Indian series is gonna rock!! 🇮🇳 lets take him to 3 million+ before he leaves. All the best safe travels. Rohan
Same for me 😂😂
Wow u paid an extra 1000 to help out the poor guy. You are truly awesome. For us 1000 rupees is nothing, but for these poor people 1000 rupees will go a long way. ❤
Actually he gave the cycle guy 8000 when the price was 7000. That's what i was referring to.
@@DLIX2DCLIaround 100 bucks
This is some truly great stuff. It's up there with your best work, the Himalaya videos.
thank u Harald! when I watch your videos it reminds me what the meaning of life is....have fun, explore, learn, help others! quite simple concepts that sometimes we lose touch with.
I live for your videos. Love the your journey's and how you interact with the locals and how you help them. Really warms the heart. Thank you Harold! ✌🏽🤘🏼💜
Hello Harold, As an Indian I am happy to see you are in India and sorry for all the inconvenience. I like all your videos and missed you to meet last year when you were in Nashville USA. If you are still in India visit Kerala the place with lakes and mountain. Let me know if you plan to visit Kerala, I can give you some directions. Appreciate all your efforts and helping mentality. Keep going....👏👏
Harold, I hope you never stop making videos. You are my favorite!
At the juice stand - the Nuthin' But A G Thang edit was hilarious! Genius edit Heraldo!
So happy to see you back on the road Harold, you are a real treasure.Your kind demeanour and patience with people is phenomenal. ❤Never stop doing what your doing you really are the best at it.
hey Harald, as a Tamil, im really sorry about the guy who tried to whack your camera, he seems like a drunkard and not in the right mind and sorry about the tea shop guy too, these ppl are some of the bad apples, not everyone is like that and thank you soo much for the great content.
Cheers from Phoenix, Harald! Best channel on RUclips.
I love you. You're the first vlogger I've watched and you're still the best. So nice to see you back posting your crazy fun adventures. Much love & all the best in your travels.
Loved this long video. Would like to see more of India like this! Chennai seems great, the Tamil people are awesome.
Seems a relatively clean city
Great video Harald it's good to see places where I have no hope of ever seeing for real. Keep up the good work.
Nice to see you helping the community! ❤ 🇨🇦🔥
A wise man once said, “drivers here have no chill, and… I have no brakes”😂😂😂 55:55
Excited to see one more episode! Will watch now
I Had such an awful day ; Harold’s new video notice cheered me up ..
..that bike is amazing cool! It truly looks in good shape and .. clean 😉.
Right back atcha.
I feel nackered just watching this one! So much going on all at once. I dont know how you do it all whilst providing an entertaining video!
Thank you Harald for your amazing videos ! And done with so much laughter !
The genuine feeling I get from videos like these are so wholesome, and makes me wanna go around the same place with a simialir bike, Mr Lindisfarner. Great video
You are very generous!
I like that you're always helping locals.
🙏🏻⚜️💗
The interactions with locals is my favorite part of traveling in India, I Love all India, but South captured my heart in 2001
Will be back in Chennai next week. Really enjoyed this video.
🙏🏼❤️🇮🇳
Love your work, love that your adventures go off the beaten track and shows life in its raw state, love your sarcasm and humour, love even more, your heart of generosity and kindness to anyone less fortunate. ❤ Bless!
I like how he handled the guy who slapped his camera. No fear, but not real aggressive- just let him know he was a jerk. I don't think we've ever seen an angry, confrontational Harald, but I get the feeling he could be the wrong person to confront if things got ugly!
Watch the video in Italy when he takes on 3 guys trying to scam people, he was ready to fk them all up
@dth-prime yes definitely that one
When he was in Italy he confronted scammers and got into a fight
Definitely. Harald is an absolute unit!
@@truefalse207 which episode?
i want more of this: barber & haircut, food reviews, interviews with many people about life, wishes, dreams, ask them about sight of view to other countries or people, helping poor creatures, visiting stores, showing landscapes around you. good channel.
Same I'd love to see him go to barber, or someone selling fruits and giving them a tip. That'd be more helpful.
@@peteck007 or inviting some poor people to eat some food, talking with them about hard life. better than throwing money out of the window ...for shitty bicycles. smile.
Yes I love the barber videos as well
Or a crossover episode: Harald giving a haircut to some poor people. I imagine everyone would look like Phuc Flair.
Hello Harold, Watched several of your videos
You are Brave, courageous, Your heart is way bigger than Norway…,
You are funny, just a gen of a guy…
You go by your heart!
Need more people like you on this planet
Thank You Sir for being You!
🙏
I don’t get excited for a new upload from any other RUclipsr. Makes every day scenarios so interesting ❤
Mega video Harald, big respect for you and good luck on the Northmen East India company taking over India on iron horses🙏❤️
🚴⚔️🍺🍗😎
Wahoooooo over 1hr30mins thats my morning sorted. These videos from you sir are better than Hollywood blockbusters. Theres many mixed emotions in each video and the perfect cast.....just Mr Baldr. I am very envious of you indeed. Have fun on your travels
I know he's in the service industry, but the bartender at the end seemed like such a genuinely charming guy, and you could tell that (although he never drank the product) he took pride in his work and seemed happy to be on video. I think one of the great things these vlogs do is give a spotlight to working class people who are always toiling in the shadows but are the absolute backbone of any society, vastly more important than any politician.
Good idea my friend. Harold .. the bicycle idea is so much fun to see.. i
because of Harald's adventures I changed my view on India, maybe one day I'll go and visit. Never change Harald, you are unique
Fantastic concept you have going on in here, this bike changing game & respecting locals with additional goods in this exotic environment
I like watching your videos so much. Especially the trading bike part. Giving is feeling good in side ❤
Hey Harald love your cycling adventure series, I missed your funny subtitles in this video you should do it more often, your humor is awesome 👍👍
My man decided to go ride a bike in the middle of india on the hottest year in recorded history. What a champ
🚴😎
