- A week of riding bikes in one of my favourite cities in the world. Tokyo. Stopped at all the Bluelug shops, Wood VIllage Cycles, Hasegawa Bicycle Sales, Ichigawa Bike shop and JD cycle tech. All the iced coffees and a few clean bowl clubs.
Unfortunately, audio quality seems to have deteriorated during upload. Sorry about that.

he’s given us a movie today fellas 🚴🍾
🍿
There are so many countries that need to learn from Japan about how to treat bicycle users lol
True. They’re still not perfect but better than others.
The bronzy green Rivendell at 1:15 is the one Blue Lug built for me! I went to pick up a few days after you went and they said you had been. They even showed me the snacks you brought for them haha! I discovered Rivendell and Blue Lug purely on your recommendations and so I want to say thank you. I ride it every day and its an absolute beaut.
Nice! Hope you enjoy your Rivendell. Sorry I didn’t get time to meet!
You know your weekend is gonna be great when you have a 48 minute Probably Riding video waiting to be seen!
Love your videos!
Thanks!
The best 48 minutes on RUclips!
Thanks!
Welcome to my neighbourhood! Love seeing your video of you riding around Tokyo, my home for over 15yrs. You certainly fitted a lot in.
Thank you very much!
This was the coziest 48 minutes of my week! I got a new bicycle this week (Marin Four Corners) and I wish I was out riding it but sadly we seem to have entered the stormy autumn season in Iceland, so instead I'm inside imagining I'm riding bikes in Tokyo like you. :)
Thanks for watching. Hope the weather clears up for a ride.
Tokyo is amazing by bike. I really enjoyed experiencing the city via cycling around it!
It really is!
The contrast in cleanliness between Tokyo and London is remarkable. I was there years ago for a few days and noticed it back then too. Yes, some of it can be chaotic but overall, considering how densley populated it is, it’s insanely clean and tidy. We should take some notes from the Japanese culture 👌🏼
Both wonderful cities that could learn from each other.
Feel like you have been gone “forever “ so happy to see your video up. Enjoyed this ride.
Welcome back!
wow 48 minutes! thank you I will enjoy the video with my cup of green tea :D
Yay! Thank you!
Wow - what an excellent tour! Thank you for your work on this one. It was a treat to feel like I was following along and to see Tokyo from a bicycle perspective. Thank you for the documentation and sharing your travelogue. Safe travels!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Visiting bike and coffee shop in tokyo, my dream vacation in the near future. thanks for the relaxing video!
Thanks for watching 👀
Simply superb. Just had a great ride on my homemade hack/tourer,a lovely vegetarian supper followed by your film.Can't tell you how good I feel.
Great to hear!
I’ve not done much cycling in Tokyo unfortunately. I did walk 45 miles in three days though on my most recent trip!
Really enjoy your videos as I’ve lived on and off in Seoul since 2010 and also spend all my free time cycling around the city. When I’m away, watching your videos is a good substitute.
I’m cycling from Mokpo to Busan in a couple of weeks, can’t wait 😊
That sounds like a pretty sweet south coast ride!
Great timing this video, heading to Tokyo next month. You've given me some good ideas for places to try. Thanks.
Have a great time!
This vid was worth the wait! 😻✨🙇
Thanks!
Very cool as always. I was in Japan many years ago in 1988. I was training with Suzuki Motor Corporation. I had an entire month there. Amazing culture and country. I don’t believe it had the bike culture I see here. Very cool!
I’m sure it was very different that then but then the whole world is.
Thank you for taking us along!
Thanks for joining
Your vids are always a treat! Can't wait to see the rest of your trip!
More to come!
Thank you for taking us thru your travels! Tokyo looks wonderful for a visit.
It really is!
I rode a bike around Tokyo this spring and summer. Spring was the best to ride. It's a great experience for me to go around the city by bike. Summer was actually so hot but it was much better than walking around. I think tokyo is a good city which is worth riding a bike.
It’s a great city for riding. Thanks for watching
Love the bike parking amenities!
I do too
Your Urban Cycling You Tube channel is interesting, the best I have seen in a long time, thank you for your creativity, greetings from Mexico!
Thank you very much!
Only ten minutes in and I can already say this video was well worth the wait. Well done.
Thanks!
Keeping this one for my three hour train ride, thank you very much for this video it will be great as always!!!
Enjoy!
I think I just found one of my new favorite channel :)
Wow, thanks!
Love watching these wholesome vids mate, please keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Beautiful. Hope youre enjoying your travels.
Thanks for another amazing video 💚
I enjoy the long format as well as the short format. As long as you are enjoying making the videos and the overall process. That's what's important to me 🫶
Still enjoying!
Thanks so much! You took us to another world here!
Glad you enjoyed it!
48 minutes truly worth the wait for this.
Thanks!
Wonderful video. I look forward to your next video and also to the next bike build, you picked up some really great stuff.
Awesome, thank you!
Just opened a bottle of wine especially to watch this one , can’t wait. 🎉
Hope you enjoy it!
Super! I took my foldie also during work trip in Japan. It’s amazing what u can see just afew alleys inside.
Yes! Any bike makes visiting Tokyo so much more enjoyable.
Another awesome video! And Ioved the long form just as much as your shorter ones! 🎉❤
Yay! Thank you!
Bike shop heaven, this looks like such a rad trip!
It was!
I can’t stop thinking about Alberto’s cargo bike. That thing is beautiful!
Lugged cargo bike of dreams 💜
I'm in the USA currently restoring a 1984 Fuji mountain bike with all of the original high-quality components, all made in Japan. It's dope to see top bike shops in Japan now stocked with so many high-quality components made in the USA.
Nice!
I spend a month in Setagaya most summers and you've given me ideas on some bike shops to visit next summer. Thanks for documenting!
Nice. Setagaya is great for riding bikes.
"I love an evening ride home with the low sun reflecting on a wonderful day."
This is something I also enjoy, cheers! 🍻
The best!
Evertime i watched your video I just want to have my expresso. Awesome video.
☕️
Thanks for the tour of Tokyo and of the Blue Lug store. Crazy the amount of stuff the manage to stuff into that place. I have a few bits of theirs on my Sam Hillborne and Surly Disc Trucker.
Very enjoyable video.
Some nice bikes you have there.
Thank you. Had to go upright after back surgery years ago and sell the ‘racing’ bikes. Build the black and cream Hillborne back in ‘15 and the Trucker at the beginning of Covid, right before it became impossible to source parts. Both have wheel sets I built during Covid also. Deore XT hubs and Velocity Quill rims with Rene Herse tires.
Great video; thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
Another exquisite video, Marcus.
Steel bikes and Tokyo from a perspective I've never seen before.
I visited Woods Cyclery on your recommendation, but managed to keep my hands in my pockets despite extreme temptation.
I'll go back with friends and ride from there next year, no doubt.
Thanks again, and stay safe, fella.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really appreciate your videos and always appreciate your support for a free Palestine!
🇵🇸
Came here to say this too 🇵🇸 Free Palestine and cycling go hand in hand
Interesting video, different to most of the other cycling ones too - so much variety for bike shops!
Thanks!
Luv Japan.
One of your best vids yet. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@probablyriding Would be nice to see a map of your travels around tokyo
gonna watch this with a cup of coffee in the morning.
☕️
What a joy! Living well my friend 👌
Thank you 🙏
Japan is one of my favourite places. Thank you for another beautiful video. Peace and love my friends. ✡️
Thank you.
Really enjoyed, great to see the cityscape….🍉
Many thanks!
Man I just KNEW the Tokyo video was gonna be elite 😅💙
Thank you 🙏
Felt as though I was in Tokyo too!
Great!
I really love it!! 韓国と日本は違う魅力が感じられるんですけど、 前には韓国の魅力を今度は日本の魅力を、 その二つの魅力をよく動画に入れてくれてありがとうございます😊
Thank you! I love both countries.
your videos always make me want to go ride
That’s my plan.
I was waiting for this video! Your content makes me happy
Thanks!
Sorry I'm late I was riding my bike! Tokyo looks lovely and the bike shops are amazing . As always I love your video and your perspective on life and our world. 共有していただきありがとうございます。
ありがとうございます
Lovely trip. I'm surprised you didn't hit any riverside trails. These are so pleasant in Tokyo, and most river embankments have them.
Thanks. I did ride down the river last summer but didn’t get a chance this time.
This video was the second best part of my week! (Number 1 was riding my bike) :)
That's awesome! Thank you
OMG that first bike shop was incredible
Blue Lug is the best.
WE EATING GOOD TODAY 🗣️🗣️❗❗❗❗ PROBABLY RIDING SPECIAL EPISODE 🚲🚲🚲🚲
Thanks
Another great video!
Thanks again!
Great Video, thanks ☀️
Glad you enjoyed it!
10/10 vibes as usual!
Thanks!
Oooh wish this video was up before we went to Japan last year!! Your videos are great, from the cuts, editing and commentary. Really enjoy all of them 😊 would be keen to see a video on your camera and audio setup!
Thank you so much!! This is the camera www.insta360.com/sal/go-3?INRL3L3
@@probablyriding oh this one! Very versatile I hear 👌 thank you!!
These bikes look so good...
They were!
That bike shop !😍😍
The best!
I just came back from a trip to Tokyo about two weeks ago. I made sure to visit a BlueLug bike shop as well (the Yoyogi park one). Sadly I didn't manage to tour the city by bike (mostly because my wife doesn't know how to ride and my kid is still too small to cycle on the street) ... I definitely want to do it at one point in the future though!
*edit*: haha, and I also bought some MKS pedals (Gamma in silver. Hope you didn't want to buy the same ones because I got the last ones they had at the time :P)
Don’t worry. I hadn’t decided which ones I wanted until I had another look in the shop.
48 minutes! It was worth the long wait!
Thanks!
@9:38 thank you Brother. ❤
🙌
@31:35 thank you for including this gentleman.
💜
48 minutes 😍

That's wild, that's the same katsudon place that I radomly stumbled upon on my first trip to Japan.
So good
I’m dreading the moment I find time to visit Bluelug
💸
Tokyo is my favorite big city in the world. Quiet (sets the bar) and easy to move around.
It’s wonderful
Great video. Your wife is definitely a keeper - putting up with/facilitating with your bike shop visits 😂. Towards the end of the video you said you would stay in that specific neighborhood again (the pretty tree-lined street). What is the name of that neigborhood. I couldn't catch it in the video.
Near Shimokitazawa.
@@probablyriding Thanks
Super,just super.
Thank you very much
this is so f#@%!*( relaxing love it
Thanks!
so sick
👍🏻
If I lived in Tokyo, a bike would be a must have. I'm getting claustrophobia just thinking of driving a car on those streets.
Definitely the best way to get around.
nice!!!
Thanks!
Very well documented! I always wonder about the rules and regulations of different countries when it comes to cycling, its not so obvious as it may seem for a lot of people. Perhaps for another video?
Maybe. I prefer to focus on the wonderful experience of riding bikes in my videos but I could perhaps mentions rules and regulations in future videos.
"I will keep those for my only fans" hahahah I am dying
🍑 🍆
It feels very strange that the shops in Japan have more Rivs than the shops here in San Francisco :)
So many Rivs around Tokyo.
I have a single speed bike, and I really want to try doing a 3x1 setup like this one. I won't know what I'm doing, but I'd like to give it a go.
Do it! Let me know how it goes. I’m considering too.
Really interesting. I'm planning a trip to Japan and was wondering about the best place to rent a nice bike like yours for a week or 2. Any tips on where I could rent one in Tokyo?
Was going to ask a similar question. Departing in 2 days. Vid was lovely as always btw
Not sure where to rent one this nice, sorry. I was lucky to borrow from a friend.
Wow
👍🏻
You need to go to Connecticut and ride with Ronnie Romance and then take a trip to NYC. Go for a nutmeg nor’easter or spring fling !
Would love to get out there one day.
hitohira is great lot's of choice from different blacksmiths around japan
Great shop.
Probably Riding be like: "Hello, I'm probably making a movie" 🤯🤯🤯
🍿
Dang that is like a bike mecca
Sure is
LETS GOOOOO LONG FORMAT
💜
If you’re coming to Japan, it’s better to avoid the period from July to September as it’s too hot.
Spent the last two summers in Japan. Yes, it’s hot but still enjoyable for me.
@@probablyriding If you’re interested not only in cities but also in Japan’s countryside, I recommend visiting Hida-Furukawa, Narai-juku, and Shirakawa-go.
Another brilliant video, thanks. Tokyo looks amazing, definitely on my bucket list!
On another video of yours that I’ve watched you mention that you used to teach in the UK. Out of interest, are you still a teacher now you are in Korea? If not, what do you do now?
Lots of people have asked. Maybe I’ll include in a video sometime. Thanks for watching 👀
@@probablyriding sounds good to me 👍🏼
Such a great video! I am going to Tokyo in a few weeks- do you happen to have a list of the food places you visited that you'd reccomend?
Thank you. That will be on my membership page.
Love your videos. I’m a recent subscriber.
Moved to London a couple of years ago, you’ve inspired me to attempt cycling to work. Looking at a couple of folding bikes at the moment.
Any recommendations on folding bikes?
I think Brompton and Bike Friday seem to be the best. Haven’t tried any other though.
Was that a Widefoot bottle cage you got with the seat post? I got one and love it! It's awesome to be able to carry a 46oz/1400ml Nalgene bottle!!
Yes! It’s on my Susie now.
What do you use to film? And do you use a chest mount? I'm thinking about making some videos :)
Inside my iPhone and an insta 360 go3 for the riding shots.
Where is your shirt from? Thanks! Love the video.
I think the shirt you’re asking about is from Cayl.
