Dude I friken luv riding bikes it's completely free , easy maintenance and a good pace to enjoy life not to mention it keep you fit that's a double whammy!
Hi, dear Ryan, Thank you for the beautiful minutes of riding around Boulder with you and Jeffrey, the Adventure Cycling person. Amy and I are very homesick. You're right: it was a most gorgeous day! Lots of love!
I’ve been an Adventure Cycling member for many, many years. It’s a fabulous organization. Thanks for giving them focus, Ryan! And as a previous comment mentioned, the Adventure cycling magazine is always a wonderful read..
Hi folks. My mom taught at CU during the 60's and as a kid I road my bike all over Boulder. Ryan, this video sure did bring back some fond memories! Thank you man! The Walnut Cafe! ❤❤❤
Love what you're doing for Adventure Cycling! They're a great org - I became a life member this year and have been on a couple of their tours. But more people need to know about them and become members so they can do more good things for cycling in the US.
Thanks for spreading the word about Adventure Cycling. Great organization. I’ve been a member for 15 years, used many of their maps, gone on some of their tours. Thanks for spreading the word. Now we need to get you to write an article for the magazine.
A great leisurely ride through parts of Boulder, such a beautiful area! Very informative content with Jeffrey and Adventure Cycling. I'm itching to get back on my bike again but it's been brutally hot this summer here in Florida. As soon as this heat dome breaks I'll be back on the road again.
Ryan. I've been "gone" from AC for a few years but just rejoined with the help from your discount! Thanks! Boulder is looking great, and as always you are a magnificent bike advocate! DD
Wow, I don't think we have fall leaves like that here! TREE TUNNEL! On somewhat of a tangent, I'm sorry to hear about your loss, Ryan. Watching your videos always make me smile. You're helping so many people smile. Don't stop :)
I am so glad that I found your channel Ryan. I love your videos and have enjoyed biking more. I rode from Pittsburgh to Harper's ferry this past May with 6 buddies. I had a blast. It is great to learn about Adventure cycling. I clicked the link and signed up. Thanks for all that you are doing. I hope to find other folks to ride with. Excited for sure
It is beautiful. Hope you get that house that house on 4th street. Vision. Beautiful riding in WV but not as cycle friendly. Our Greenbrier rail trail is beautiful.
Thank you, Ryan! I just joined. Looking forward to the maps and the magazine!. I love your channel, I spend a lot of time here every evening. I've been riding for years,; this year I have a road cycling goal of 2000 miles for the year. I am at 1828. - Jodi
I love Boulder Colorado!!!! Seeing it in the fall is amazing in this video and hope to bike in Boulder one day. I have been a few times but never got the privilege to ride there. As someone who has Cerebal Palsy and loves mountain biking, bike touring, gravel craziness, trail running, coach, and educator. Come explore Bozeman, Montana one day where I call home! I love the in-depth discussion with Jeffery about the ACA!!!!!!!! I love the story telling you do Ryan!!! keep at it!!! THANKS!!!!!!!! Much LOVE!
Bikecentennial was my introduction to Colorado. Couldn't afford to do the whole cross country ride. But, two weeks in the Rockies made for a very memorable summer.
Thanks for the video Ryan! I am a member of ACA and have registered for their Great Divide Canada tour next July. I can't wait! Have my Trek 1120 ready to go!!!!
Incentivize bikes! Make the city centers pedestrian/bike centric. Getting out there is so important, but supporting commuting, bicycle based businesses, and making the systems human centric instead of car centric will dynamically change the landscape. For “getting out there” have a crawl, walk, run approach. The crawl portion would be supported with rental equipment and a campsite, glamping, or a B&B approach. Let people do the ride, but have everything else ready. Next step is less support all the way to self supported. Like you said, it needs to be easy to start. If they start getting out there, you’ll set the hook
I've now done 6 trips with Adventure Cycling, and am looking for my 7th now- love these guys and gals- they do great rides. 3x Texas Hill Country, Natchez Trace, Ragin' Cajun, and Patagonia Gravel.
Excellent! I just signed up for a family membership for 2 years (although I'm the only cyclist in my family :-) Excellent organization and mission! I'm all for it! 🤙
Keep those leaves on the trees for me - I'll be there (Colorado) later this week! New Mexico was glorious last week, too. What a time to be alive! :D I just renewed my AC membership with that sweet 50% off, thanks for that, Adventure Cycling!
First.. I want a Duzerita Burrito looks really good.. Second I've been a member of ACA for over 30 years.. love them.. I've noticed the new stories.. A lot of bike riders looking for new routes by finding them on Map my Ride GPS.. It be great if routes were available for download to there Wahoo or Garmin..
I have no knowledge to go on a long trip,, but ill love to try it at least once in my life,,I'm a truck driver 60 year's old I need help on the food and gear,,and know more about the weather to make sure I don't get in to terrible weather,, first trip I wouldn't like to go by myself,,
All that riding 🚲 around Boulder CO. And you didn’t stop for a burrito 😱😱😱. Edit: 😂🤣😂 I knew this vídeo wouldn’t be the same without a 🌯. Next time I will wait till the end to write a comment. 😆😆
Canada seems to be very lacking in anything similar. :( Even our "Great Trail" isn't as great as the name would suggest. For a country bult by the use of rail, there seem to only be decent rail trail conversions in B.C. Alberta has next to nothing outside of The Jasper-Banff-Canmore corridor.
The best way to make biking safer, is to educate people in cars. Teaching them to pay more attention. Plus let them know that bikes have the same rights to roads that cars do. It used to be called the Bikecentenial route across America, well back in 1976. But teach people not only how to ride safe I live in Wyoming, and its hard up here, drivers often don't even see me, when I'm out on my recumbent bike, even with my two flags. So teaching drivers is the first thing.
There needs to be more trails connecting cities For example, in California many cities are decent for biking (within the city) but there is no decent bike route from Chico to Oroville, or Chico to Paradise etc There should be an initiative to connect nearby cities and towns with bikepaths
What I notice too often here in the Midwest is a lot of trails start 30 miles or so out side of the city and then end 30 or so outside another city. People need to be able to start their adventure from their front door. More bike infrastructure now!
@@dustinmcdowell848 Agreed- Europe has an incredible network of trails, most are dirt, crushed granite etc.... in the US they seem to focus on asphault which is ok intercity.... but long distance its better and cheaper to have it crushed granite.... although a paved path is nice for longboarding
Sierra Buttes Trail conservancy is building trail to connect 15 mountain communities.....35 miles of trails will be put in up above Butte Meadows,and connect with the 600 miles of trail they will be buildng.........Im in Chico and it would be great to connect towns with bike paths. 25 miles to oroville would be a long bike path though.
This is why I created Aspire2Cycle! To encourage and be all inclusive with everyone who wants to get on a bike and enjoy the freedom of cycling. Just ride the bike!
Ryan, have you ever hosted a ride or thought about it? I'd love to join a 2-3 day gravel/adventure ride with all my fellow Duzers. We pay an entry fee to join but mostly self supported. Maybe somewhere in Colorado. "The BooneDuzer Ole Ole Ole Ride"
Ryan, I've always wanted to start, but talk is cheap. I took advantage of the membership offer and I look forward to some adventure, instead of being limited to a one to two-mile radius. Thanks man.
Im trying to flip bikes to buy a good bike to cross canada,, maybe usa on the way back too, i hope it work, for now i sold a bike yesterday and i now have 360$ in total, if i sell my bike i currently use i might add 500 to the 360... i bet i can get it done under 2 year,,untill then i have to be patient....
About accessibility. Not having closed captions available on the video makes it very hard to enjoy fully for those with hearing disabilities. Otherwise the channel is one of my favorite.
It would be great do an interview/collab with Russ & Laura from @PathLessPedaled channel. I believe Laura is/was the U.S. Route System Coordinator for the ACA.
My first cross country was with ACA, self contained, from San Diego to St. Augustine. Made some great friends, one of them does RAGBRAI every year. I'm a day's ride plus or minus depending on how good of shape I'm in from Missoula where ACA is located. Their routes, are mostly great. But from time to time just pulling up Google Maps and finding a route can be just as good, or better. So if you find yourself on a route that is sketchy, which happens, you can potentially find a better option. Even the best routes, can change. I'm a half day's ride south of the Northern Tier. The minor bit I'm familiar with is OK, but there are options that are potentially better. ACA is an excellent resource. The leader of my group, the last I heard, was riding somewhere in Europe. An excellent friend, along with several others I met on that trip. We had an exceptional group that got along quite well. Not that there weren't the occasional differences of opinion on food. But overall it is more or less what you personally decide how to interact with the group. I have dreams of riding a lot of different of the ACA routes, especially the coastal and cross country rides. Most everyone I rode with was older than me, at the time I was under 60, barely. But the guy that none of us could keep up with was 72 at the time. He still rides. Currently I mostly dream of riding as I went back to school to get my PhD. But riding is what I dream of doing. The maps that ACA provides are an excellent start to finding your own, custom route, from here to there. You can ride bikes without burritos, but that would be boring. Between burritos and tacos, burritos win every time. Search for Adventure Cycling at AmazonSmile if you want to support them while buying cool stuff online.
G'day Ryan 🦘 Fantastic organisation, great way to help the "I want to, to the I Will!" For something a bit quirky (like you😁) consider one of Australia's ONLY two autumnal ( Fall) tree's. My choice, the "Illawarra flame tree" 👍 spectacular 🏆 Quality as always Piece 🌍 love 🌈 and beans for All P.T 🤠
How about doing a screen grab of a map of the area you are riding in so "we" can follow along. On "all of your trips". See the gray is setting in. ;) I just wish I had hair.
Bummer, ACA promo ran out. Worst of all, I viewed this right after it came out and wanted to sign up but life happened so I missed the window between elder care, kids, etc. Just went on my first bike packing trip last summer too. Maybe Black Fri or Christmas promo?
I live about two hours north of Ryan,and I ride year round. You just dress for it. Lots of wool and a good wind shell. I use mittens when it really gets cold out. It takes some getting used too. Oh and a good face cover up.Leaving your eyes uncovered, of course. :)
Duzer, I think you should push them to examine your "love cycle" cross country route. I see it as a much safer route then the current rount they offer. Times have changed and I just feel the current route is very unsafe these days.
I would love to do an Adventure Cycling tour, but not at National Geographic prices. $1400 for 3 days not including airfare is way too steep for my money, and I can easily afford it. If they really want to get more riders out there, they need to lower their prices. And I'm still on their mailing list from the days when I was President, Treasurer, Clerk and Membership Coordinator for our local bike club back in 2008-2012 (not at the same time).
yep.. wish they had a few tiers with membership like ‘free’ routes, then a “pay what you’d like' routes , then maybe a top $ tier for the coast to coast routes.. would be way more accessible..

The older I get, the more riding near cars really scares me. I wish bike routes without cars were far more common.
I hear you…that’s why I mostly stuck to dirt
The packed dirt and gravel trail in the video what we need more. Paved paths are overkill and not environmentally friendly.
I agree, I ride a bike as my main transportation and I'm very mindful of what is around me. I also choose times to ride when there is less traffic.
Dude I friken luv riding bikes it's completely free , easy maintenance and a good pace to enjoy life not to mention it keep you fit that's a double whammy!
Couldn't agree more!
Thanks for plugging Adventure Cycling Ryan! I’ve been a member for 32 years. Great organization!!

In busy, popular areas, turn certain streets into biking and pedestrian use only. For example, Duval Street in Key West, Fl.
Yes! This is a must.
Thanks!
Thank you Joanne!!! Really appreciate your generosity!
Thanks for spreading the word about Adventure Cycling. Great organization. I’ve been a member for 15 years, used many of their maps, gone on some of their tours. Thanks for spreading the word. Now we need to get you to write an article for the magazine.

A great leisurely ride through parts of Boulder, such a beautiful area! Very informative content with Jeffrey and Adventure Cycling. I'm itching to get back on my bike again but it's been brutally hot this summer here in Florida. As soon as this heat dome breaks I'll be back on the road again.
Best instructions ever. Best inspiration ever. Beautiful

Another beautiful video! The drone shots, music etc - just gorgeous. You're such a great ambassador for Bolder. I hope to see it for real one day.
I hope that you get to experience my little town!
im just trying to get a little winter ice road bike race started in my town of Bethel Alaska.
Bikecentennial was my introduction to Colorado. Couldn't afford to do the whole cross country ride. But, two weeks in the Rockies made for a very memorable summer.
Wow! That musta been amazing. You were part of history
Thanks for the video Ryan! I am a member of ACA and have registered for their Great Divide Canada tour next July. I can't wait! Have my Trek 1120 ready to go!!!!

They sure are!
What a cool way to do an interview! Informative and beautiful. Nice!!
Thanks, sure beats just sitting and chatting :)
I’ve been thinking of booking a bike tour trip ❤ glad I saw this

Or you could just raise gas to $15 a gallon
💯 Make is fun for the people most scared to bike.
The fall colors are eternal this season in Colorado!

About accessibility. Not having closed captions available on the video makes it very hard to enjoy fully for those with hearing disabilities. Otherwise the channel is one of my favorite.
I'm sorry! CC is turned on, maybe it takes the system a little time to populate the text. Works for me now.
Great advocacy video! How about doing an ebike advocacy orgnization video?
It would be great do an interview/collab with Russ & Laura from @PathLessPedaled channel. I believe Laura is/was the U.S. Route System Coordinator for the ACA.

Fantastic organisation, great way to help the "I want to, to the I Will!"
For something a bit quirky (like you😁) consider one of Australia's ONLY two autumnal ( Fall) tree's. My choice, the "Illawarra flame tree" 👍 spectacular 🏆
Quality as always
Piece 🌍 love 🌈 and beans for All
P.T 🤠
Ooh, I'll have to look up that tree
How about doing a screen grab of a map of the area you are riding in so "we" can follow along. On "all of your trips". See the gray is setting in. ;) I just wish I had hair.
I’m trying to get better at that
@@duzer How about also saying/showing which bike you are on. Looks like the 600 this time. You still think it's a good bike for the price???

I actually made a video about that! ruclips.net/video/lzk-Wf9ZgYE/видео.html
It all starts with good cycling infrastructure. Than people will start cycling. And I know, I am from The Netherlands 😄.
Your country has set the gold standard!
👍👍👍👍👍
Duzer, I think you should push them to examine your "love cycle" cross country route. I see it as a much safer route then the current rount they offer. Times have changed and I just feel the current route is very unsafe these days.
Good point, we found a lot of back roads and rail trails!
In a nutshell, rails and roads need to be widened with hiking and biking paths.
Yes you can ride bikes without burritos because I do it all the time
Ok fine 😂😂
When I made the switch and sold my car five years ago my intelligence increased. It’s a fact that cars make us dumber and more stressed out.
Yes!! So true
I would love to do an Adventure Cycling tour, but not at National Geographic prices. $1400 for 3 days not including airfare is way too steep for my money, and I can easily afford it. If they really want to get more riders out there, they need to lower their prices. And I'm still on their mailing list from the days when I was President, Treasurer, Clerk and Membership Coordinator for our local bike club back in 2008-2012 (not at the same time).
yep.. wish they had a few tiers with membership like ‘free’ routes, then a “pay what you’d like' routes , then maybe a top $ tier for the coast to coast routes.. would be way more accessible..
@@taztaztaz You're referring to guided tours. You can buy the maps and take off on your own for less than $25 per day.
Is he a bike tour guide?
