    Hehe, the doggos on that thin sidewalk, side by side,, with their leashes crossed - too cute.

      Hahaha it is cute. Makes me want to get a third one, but that would be way too much work 😝

    Always great cycling videos, really calm and relax music, it reminds me of the good old days back at UTS 20 years ago.

      Glad I could take you back a few decades. The city has changed a lot, but there’s a lot of character which also has stayed the same.

    Great casual ride and video Josh. Your song choice is really on point mate. You've nearly convinced me to get that Fuji X100f!

      Thanks mate! It’s a fantastic camera. A bit of a shame it’s become so expensive on the grey market. I’m thankful I bought mine years ago before the hype

    I really enjoy your vids. Back in the early 2000s I used to visit Sydney regularly so I see massive changes around the city since then. These days I visit Melbourne more( from NZ) as I have a daughter living there. I love the cycling culture and infrastructure there.

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  10 часов назад

      Some say Sydney peaked in 2000 during the olynpics and when we had the monorail 🥲
      I need to visit Melbourne, I have alot of people saying I need to check it out.

    Nice day for a casual ride mate. We all need some downtime to ride solo and enjoy our beautiful harbour ❤️

    • @joshkwan

      Solo ride is often rare for us social butterflies. So I’m glad I could enjoy the sunrise and beautiful scenery this morning.

      I wake up pretty early! Most days around 5-5:30am
      I love getting a lot done at the start of the day. Makes me feel productive haha

      @veryboringname. День назад +1

      @@joshkwan What time do you usually sleep? I'm a classic night owl but the few times I had an early start I do feel more productive too. Maybe I need to do that a bit more...

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  День назад +1

      Usually try and get in bed at 10:30pm… but not good at sticking to that. Through highschool and uni I was a massive night owl. I’d love to stay up and play video games. But current lifestyle forced a change 🤪

    Josh fantastic clip. You really have that perfect flare for putting it all so beautifully together. For me total enjoyment to watch. Sydney looks so beautiful and for such a busy city the tranquility to be found gives it a real richness. Fantastic photos along the way too. I think you should re-evaluate your career path. You should be a cinema photographer or something in the visual arts.

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  21 час назад

      Thanks very much mate. I really enjoyed filming this video as well as putting it together.
      I think most cities if you get up early enough, you can find a nice peaceful period ☺️
      Hahahaha whilst I do love creating vlogs and taking photos, I think it best remain as a side hobby, lest I rely on it for my livelihood and it becomes stressful

      Peak design is the name of the brand, they have a few variants of the strap I am using.

      Just haven’t found the time to do it yet

    @zeuszuki6698 День назад +1

    Great vlog yet again. One day I followed the coast as much as could from Bondi through to The Maritime Museum, it was a fun morning out. Your bunch rides are great content but it doesn't hurt to fly solo occasionally 😉 👍🍻
    I missed the Nero show where you featured but tbh I've lost a bit of interest in that channel 🤷‍♂️

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  День назад +1

      That’s a beautiful coastal route, but also very hilly 🤣
      I think I’ll try and do the occasional solo ride. It’s quite relaxing and a good way to clear my head.

    Hate those green cycle lanes. Not sure what they put in it but it feels rough to ride on.

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  День назад

      I think my main issue is all the debris and also they put all the utility covers in the bike lane 🫠

    • @owenjarvis9368
      @owenjarvis9368 22 часа назад

      The cycle haters smash bottles on bike lanes. The bike lane along Captain Cook Drive to Kurnell almost always has at least one smashed bottle on it. Keep your eyes pealed for glass on that ride

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  День назад +1

      I’ve got a larger camera and found it too hard to ride around with 🥲 settled for using the Fujifilm and just shooting jpegs

    • @DMurdock
      @DMurdock День назад +1

      @ if you watch the Cade Media bikepacking series, Lawrence Carpenter caries the camera on his back using a specific kind of strap. I might just try that one. Just gotta make sure that I don't crash lol. I'm also considering getting a small mirrorless but I'd still keep the zooms because you can't shoot birds with a small lens unless you're a ninja.

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  День назад

      The strap they use is a 3 point strap. You can only use it while stationary, unless you’re very goood at fiddling with stuff while riding (and also riding with one hand)
      A good option to transport the camera, and I did think about it for a while. My camera is small enough it doesn’t need the stabilisation strap though.
