  • 4K Japan Cycling Tour - Today we are doing one of our last rides cycling around Nagakute, Japan, which has been our home for the last 5 years.
    We will really miss the nice cycling lanes here and especially we will miss our Japanese friends and teachers who have helped us so much over the years.
    We also stopped by the Japanese IKEA to do some shopping and get some dimpa bike bags for our trip.

    I started following you because I love Japan and Cycling, but really just like you two as people, now so I will continue watching your adventures. It must be hard to do a 'last ride'. but nothing is ever final, you are both young. You have the right idea to do what is best for both of you. I will continue to support through patreon.

Been enjoying so much to bike on the Niagara bike trails, along the Erie canal and Erie lake from Buffalo up to Niagara and further to Fort Park Niagara. I think we have over 8.000 miles on our bikes on these trails, and out bikes are bought from Target and Dick's.

    Got that baritone morning voice going in this one Cruise! The wide, separated multi-use paths looks fantastically easy to use, surprised to see so many cars with how bikeable the community seems. Lovely civic building as well, great to see the mamacharis and townbikes. The stroller/mobility aid at 8:30" is a great reminder that good bike infrastructure is also good for disabled, elderly, families, etc. Did "bowing to cars" like 10:50" make it into the Japanese Cycling Culture Tips video? :P I can't decide if that's easier or harder than a wave.

    • @TwoWheelCruise
      @TwoWheelCruise  3 года назад +1

      My just woke up 10 minutes before this voice? 😂 I guess it’s been a long time since we filmed a morning video.
      Signaling to drivers is good in any country, but bowing works good when you want to keep both hands on the bike.

    After living in that area for so long and seeing you pass by the IKEA in a number of your vids, I was surprised to hear that you had never been there before. I think that baby Husky is calling out your name, though, to bring him along as a parting memento and mascot for your trip to Thailand. The walking perspective looks fine, btw.

    And yeah Japanese elections are quite noisy and annoying. But most annoying is the fact that the conservatives always win and there’s no prospect of that changing. The young I assume want change, but they respect their elders too much to debate / argue with them or even bother voting at all. And if they do vote, they’re mostly uninformed and just vote with their parents to appease them.
