hi RJ, I'm so sorry to hear these news, but I hope everything goes alright, really looking forward for some new videos, your channel was a big inspiration for all the projects I've done so far, you're part of the curious bike mechanic I am right now, thank you so much for everything and I'm glad your getting your energy back, take it slow.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Consider avoiding or taking extra care around part cleaning chemicals and degreasers. The brain is naturally composed of lipids (fats). Continued recovery👍🚵♀️
RJ! We love you. My stepfather beat a brain tumor. His was a couple gliomas or lesions and they were cancer. He started treatment and no cancer return so far and it's been 3 years now. His were in the back of the head but it was causing leg numbness and restless leg issues. But all is good now. Hope you get better brother.
RJ, My mother-in-law was diagnosed with the same thing, she is now 87 years old and is the most active senior in her group of friends. Garden every day (in the Arizona heat,) drive wherever she wants and plays bingo at least twice a week. You got this brother!
There are autopsy studies of car crash victims which found many cancers (many more than would be expected based on cancer death rates). The only conclusion is that most people die with their cancers, not from them.
You taught me everything I know about working on bikes and now I couldn't live without wrenching on my bikes. You're an absolute LEGEND!!! Get well soon!
I'm so sorry to hear this RJ, but very glad you're feeling better! By the way "I need a brain biopsy like I need a hole in my head" is an ace joke for sure. The doc was probably just caught off guard by that.
You have helped me so much with bike stuff over the years, and you have just helped me again with your story as I am on day 3 of chemo for a leukaemia diagnosis that came out of the blue. So glad you and your wife got through a difficult time.
Man many years ago when I found you I was going through pretty bad depression. And you got me back out in the shed tinkering with my bikes and riding. Thank you
The biggest bike legend in the history of youtube. This guy has saved my bacon numerous times. Couldn't do it without ya buddy. Wishing you and your wife good health x
I'm glad that after all you went through that you have started to feel like RJ the bike guy that I learned so much from. When I first started riding again at the age of 60 after not riding since I was 16 I knew nothing about repairing bikes. I come from a automotive and computer background and you were the one I depended upon to help me solve problems I had with bikes. Now thirteen years later I rescue unwanted bikes left at the recycle center in town repair them and pass them on to someone who might have a need for one. Without the knowledge I garnered from you and seeing your passion for bikes and repairing them I would probably be wasting my time on a golf course instead of swearing at old bikes and having the time of my life. So thank you, glad to see you back and starting to feel better.
In the early 90s I was a broke jr high kid with a Roadmaster MTB frame I found in the trash. I took it to an old school bike shop and explained my situation. He set up a second stand in his shop and every day after school for 3 weeks he walked me through the repairs so that I wouldnt have to pay for labor, and so that I learned a little something about bikes in the process. He passed away twenty years ago, but I will never forget that man. Your channel brought back all those same vibes I had in that dusty little shop back in the 90s. Thank you, my friend! Be safe, be well.
RJ, you're an inspiration. Thanks for your many hours of bike videos. Thanks for your expertise and your humor. You got me started working on bicycles many years ago in my garage. Now, in retirement, I volunteer at a community bike shop where we teach people how to repair their own bikes. I hope you continue your recovery and get better and stronger every day.
I went through prostate cancer treatment 20 years ago, and fully understand how wiped out you must have felt. I'm fine now, and hope you continue to be.
RJ, I'm glad that both you and your wife are doing well; we're sending all our best to you guys from Scotland. I just wanted to thank you for all the amazing knowledge that you have put out into the world and to let you know how much it helped me get through COVID when my freelance work business up and working on my bikes kept me sane in those dark times. Good health to you both!
Just bought a Trek Discovery Channel road bike today and got it for a song and a dance. I'll be watching all the existing videos again and really look forward to some new ones. Take care of yourself and Mrs. The Bike Guy!
Thanks for checking in with us, RJ. You and your wife have experienced much physical and mental stress during the past few years. It sounds like things might be settling down? I send you and your wife much good medicine and love. Your health is most important, RJ, so get plenty of rest and know that your subscribers understand and appreciate your video archive for helpful repairs and maintenance tasks. Blessings!
I found your Channel in 2019 when I was going chemo and radio. Rj the bike guy is always my 1st stop if I'm stuck on my project bikes. Glad you're on the mend. You're Stamina wil return. Thanks for the update.
Hi RJ, so many other people have commented similarly nice things, and it sounds like you have a really wonderful approach to what can be a terrifying diagnosis. I just wanted to say, as many other people feel, that you truly are a wonderful presence on the internet and in the world. we only know you through the videos you put out, but you have brought so many people joy and shared so much knowledge, I hope you are really proud of this channel. So happy to hear the relatively benign prognosis of your glioma, I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart. Can't wait to see more of your videos, if making them is a priority for you!
You are one of the main reasons that I now fix all my bikes myself and even the ones of my neighbours. Very glad that you are back and have a good recovery! Wishing you all the best
Your videos were therapeutic to me when I was going through chemo a few years back and was completely drained. Glad to hear you're on the up and up. Stay strong and can't wait for your future videos.
Veo tus videos desde hace muchos años y me duele la noticia sobre tu estado de salud. Espero te recuperes y vivas plenamente. Saludos RJ, y te mando un cordial abrazo.
So good to hear from you RJ! You have been through the wringer and your dry wit was a little to dry for the doc. Keep getting better! You have been and incredible resource for bike repair for thousands of people and I am one of them.
I’m glad you’re back, Brother. I’m married to an oncologist, so I understand what you have been through. It looks like you’re taking it in stride. Congratulations on finishing chemo. Your videos basically taught me how to work on bikes. That’s saying something because I’m mechanically inept. I look forward to new ones.
Chapeau! I was wrestling with a stubborn bottom bracket yesterday and started thinking of your antics with an impact wrench. What sets your videos apart isn't just your presentation style, it's the emphasis on mechanical problems cyclists actually encounter, such as the aforementioned bottom bracket; removal isn't always a smooth and problem-free affair. Your videos are my first port of call when it comes to bike maintenance; I continue to learn a lot from them and save a significant amount of money. All the very best for a full recovery. Warmest regards from Norwich, England.
He RJ , we love you! I will be praying for you . I love building bikes and have learned alot from you. You pray as well , God answers prayer! Do what you have to do , No Rush , take care of yourself and your Wife🙏
So happy to hear from you. Glad you're back! Really looking forward to more videos from you. Been watching your old videos. It's like rereading a good book. You know how its going to end but you don't care. Learned so much from you. You're a great teacher.
I was worried and thought of you often. You've helped me so much with all of your videos which are not only extremely informative but enjoyable to watch as well. Thank you the update and so glad you are feeling and doing better.
I'm really sorry to hear that RJ. Horrible to hear. I'm wishing you a full recovery. Thank you so much for all the incredibly helpful bike videos you have done so far. You are a real hero of RUclips tutorials in my mind.
It's good that you are here. AND STILL WITH US ALL. AND MANY MANY more years to come. And back making the best bike videos on YT .I hope you'll have a full recovery. 👍 Bless you! the bike GUY! ❤🙏🙏
Thanks so much for the update. You have gone through lots of changes, but you are strong, continue to be strong and don't look back! Wish you the best recovery ! Thanks for all your help over the years.
Your videos are consistently the most clear and helpful bike repair and maintenance videos on YT. I just discovered your channel in July of 2024 and subscribed right away. Good luck with your health, and thanks again for the benefit of your shared knowledge.
I am so sorry to hear this all happened to you. Thank you for your update, and I am sending my thoughts and prayers for your full recovery. We miss you!
Been missing you for a long time, thanks for making a video & telling us. The only important thing is you & family, whatever happens. Big hugs from Sweden.
Dude you helped me get STARTED fixing my own bike years ago! So glad you're recovering and making some more videos for us to learn from. Thank you for every time I've been able to help a stranger on the trail keep riding.
I can’t tell you how grateful I am for all you taught me about bikes. You totally changed my life and got me into a whole new sport. So sorry for all you’ve been through, but hoping to see some more content from you soon.
Wishing you a speedy and full recovery. You have inspired me to build a bike and education wise helped me understand bikes better then I ever thought I would. Thank you.
Thanks for the update, RJ! I’ve learned a ton from you over the years. I wish you the very best in a full recovery. Health is wealth. You’ve helped so many people on the path to it through bikes ❤️🚴🏻♂️
Thank you for this update, RJ, and please continue to heal up! Like so many others here, I learned almost everything I know about bike repair from you and your channel. I’m grateful for you and glad you’re ok!
I really hope you're doing well, it takes a lot of courage to share such intimate details about your health but as you can see, lots of people care about you and look up to you. I'd say 65% of what I know about bike mechanics, I got it from you, and funny thing is, and you're probably not gonna believe me but here it is: I have a guitar building channel on youtube, it's doing pretty well, and it all started with repairing my bike in 2017. At that time I binge watched all of your videos for a while and then as I got more and more repairing tools, I needed something to store them. So I built a cart out of wood. Then I learned woodworking properly during the next 3 years or so. And then I built a guitar, and then another, and another, and another ... to this day. You and a few other people on youtube really really inspired me and others to just share what we love, and I thank you for that !
Mighty damn fine to have you back, RJ. I was literally wondering what had happened! You help people from all over the world with bike issues, you have got me out of a pickle on several occasions. So from the humble country, Wales.... Iechyd da (good health in Welsh)
I'm so happy to see your back but most importantly that you are healthy. I've had my own history with loved ones who had tumors being diagnosed and seeing you are doing fine brings hope into me. I wish you a full recovery and all the best, greetings from the Netherlands with much love!
Thank you for letting us know - and glad to hear things are now going well! Hope that you continue to recover and that you and your wife have a long and happy life ahead!
Just found this. So glad things are going as well as they are for you and your wife. You have been a huge part of my learning how to work on my own bikes! The way you present things is unpretentious, friendly and actually relaxing (if that doesn't sound too weird). Take care of yourself and I will look forward to anything you put out in the future, as I continue to watch your existing stuff!
It was sad not hearing from you given the very positive and generous videos you have served so many with. We were all worried something had happened. Thank you for the update! Wishing you (and your wife) health and energy!
Hey RJ, wishing you all the best and glad to hear you are doing okay. The world is a better place with you in it. Thanks for all the help you've given me and inspiring me to give back to the community. This year I've managed to donate 7 bikes I fixed up to childre and people in need and it would have never have happened without your guidance.
Glad you’re doing better! Your videos helped me get me through some rough times and stay active. Thank you and hope to see you making more when you feel up to it!
Good to see you back RJ. I know how difficult and challenging it is. My dad just passed away last month bec of colon cancer, it hits me to know someone is also is dealing with a similar one. Wishing you full recovery
Mixed feelings on seeing you again. On the one hand, joy to see videos of you again. On the other hand, sadness for what you and your family are going through. But I am glad that you were able to come back, which means that you are well enough to share your wisdom with us. Thank you for that. And welcome back!
I hope you have a long and happy life. I am excited that you are considering making more videos. I learned a lot from them. I got into biking a couple years ago and was able to restore an old MTB by primarily watching your videos. They helped me tackle a lot of issues.
Really so good to see you back. I can’t tell you how much you’ve helped me with your videos, and I’m sure many, many others. Look after yourself and see more of you soon.
that's so weird. i just finally fixed my bottom bracket, which was long overdue, after watching your videos just a couple of days ago and wondered if you were still around. sorry to hear what happened but very glad to hear you're doing better. your videos are a life saver, ironically. good luck & godspeed.
Good to see again! 12 years ago I had surgery for a tumor in my left kidney and it was completely removed. Apart from having biannual check-ups and scans, I maintain a diet and exercise and lead a fairly normal life. It's good that after the treatment you were able to begin to recover your energy. Lots of life ahead, RJ! Big hug!
I am overwhelmed by all the kind comments! Thank you all so very much!
Full frontal lobotomy? I think you already did a video on that 😄 take it easy mate, Todd in New Zealand
hi RJ, I'm so sorry to hear these news, but I hope everything goes alright, really looking forward for some new videos, your channel was a big inspiration for all the projects I've done so far, you're part of the curious bike mechanic I am right now, thank you so much for everything and I'm glad your getting your energy back, take it slow.
Best wishes from Singapore!

Good to see you back
I hope everything will be better!
I've been dealing with incurable, but highly treatable cancer since 1993. Still here, still doing mostly OK at age 70. You got this, RJ!
I've never heard of a similar cancer, may I ask you the name of it?
I hope you'll have a full recovery.
You taught me everything I know about working on bikes and now I couldn't live without wrenching on my bikes. You're an absolute LEGEND!!! Get well soon!
I'm so sorry to hear this RJ, but very glad you're feeling better! By the way "I need a brain biopsy like I need a hole in my head" is an ace joke for sure. The doc was probably just caught off guard by that.

You dont heal once yr injected with that covid junk.
I went through prostate cancer treatment 20 years ago, and fully understand how wiped out you must have felt. I'm fine now, and hope you continue to be.
to me at least you're one of the most OG bikeyubers, glad to hear you're feeling better.
Yep, him and BikemanforU. I leaned a shit ton from both of theses guys.
RJ, I'm glad that both you and your wife are doing well; we're sending all our best to you guys from Scotland.

Thank you for this update, RJ, and please continue to heal up! Like so many others here, I learned almost everything I know about bike repair from you and your channel. I’m grateful for you and glad you’re ok!
I really hope you're doing well, it takes a lot of courage to share such intimate details about your health but as you can see, lots of people care about you and look up to you.

I'm so happy to see your back but most importantly that you are healthy. I've had my own history with loved ones who had tumors being diagnosed and seeing you are doing fine brings hope into me. I wish you a full recovery and all the best, greetings from the Netherlands with much love!
I love your videos. Look after yourself and take care.
Wishing you all the best RJ! Your videos have helped me so much over the years.
Good to see RJ is back… I still refer to your Suntour videos service my Suntour forks… stay healthy.
Great to hear your familiar voice again. Praying that you continue to feel stronger. Thanks so much for the update.

I am so glad to hear this news, RJ! I missed you, but is looking forward to looking at your videos. .

Hey are RJ! YOU taught me how to change a bike tube and I still watch your videos, thank you so much! Stay strong RJ, you got this!
Truly wish you a prompt and full recovery ! You have been of great inspiration to dig out the inner mechanic in me !
Mixed feelings on seeing you again.
On the one hand, joy to see videos of you again.
On the other hand, sadness for what you and your family are going through.
But I am glad that you were able to come back, which means that you are well enough to share your wisdom with us. Thank you for that.
And welcome back!
Your videos saved my bike's life! Happy to hear that you are getting over your problems and getting back to sharing bike wisdom on youtube!
I hope you have a long and happy life. I am excited that you are considering making more videos. I learned a lot from them. I got into biking a couple years ago and was able to restore an old MTB by primarily watching your videos. They helped me tackle a lot of issues.
Thank you very much! :D
So many positive stories, myself included. You've got this. Thank you for what you do.
Really so good to see you back. I can’t tell you how much you’ve helped me with your videos, and I’m sure many, many others. Look after yourself and see more of you soon.
that's so weird. i just finally fixed my bottom bracket, which was long overdue, after watching your videos just a couple of days ago and wondered if you were still around.
sorry to hear what happened but very glad to hear you're doing better.
your videos are a life saver, ironically.
good luck & godspeed.
Good to see again! 12 years ago I had surgery for a tumor in my left kidney and it was completely removed. Apart from having biannual check-ups and scans, I maintain a diet and exercise and lead a fairly normal life.
It's good that after the treatment you were able to begin to recover your energy. Lots of life ahead, RJ! Big hug!
Great to see you back, prayers for a full recovery!!
Praying for your healing! Good to see you back!
