That stretch in Danang is perfect for the road bikes! At first I thought you'd head all the way up the mountain to Lady Buddha. Hope you guys post the ride down to Hoi An soon!!
So good to see you guys safe and well after the move and everything, awesome first ride along the seafront, amazing views, I’m looking forward to more videos from you guys, a huge thumbs up from me 👍
Finally a country where the direction of travel is to the right, rather than to the left as in Japan and Thailand. Best wishes for your new adventure !!!
Glad to see the two of you made it safely and was able to go along on your first ride. Looking forward to see your future rides and perhaps seeing Thoung's home town.
Immediately upon opening the video, I could see the clean air, clear horizon, and big sky. That's a great feeling. I was so sick of that haze in Thailand. Really makes me reconsider vacationing there. I might have to just go to Vietnam instead.
We moved here hoping the air quality would be pretty decent. It's been hazy the last few days (I guess because of forest fires in Laos nearby), but hopefully it improves.
@@GordoGambler Low pressure systems tend to clean out the stagnant air, but Da Nang has clean air year round for the most part. Nothing like Chiang Mai or Bangkok. It's more like Japan.
To be fair Vietnam has a lot of EU support and it makes da nang amazing Seriously amazing Head south or even Saigon and it makes Thailand look like Florida clean Biking in the south is a challenge too or more stressful than the north Best thing about the north for me was the mountain rides near son la to sapa
The beach and the surroundings look amazing! What a place to ride. I'm sorry for Thuong's bike, I also hope it is just surface damage and nothing underlying, hopefully you guys can get it checked soon! I know you don't like biking on the walkpath, but it looks actually wonderful even for biking, I would definitely rest it (sure I don't have carbon roadbike, so I wouldn't be too worried about a couple of bumps :)) I saw on strava you guys enjoy long rides now on the mountains, so I'm looking forward to seeing more and more videos coming out! Edit: that building with the green plants all over looked f..ing AWESOME!
Beautiful views along the coast! Good to see you guys settling in!! Looking forward to more content about your experince in Vietnam! I also enjoyed Thoung walking video in Da Nang!! You guys are my favorite RUclipsrs!! Keep up the great work and have fun!!
Wow, having just moved to Saigon to be with my wife, I wish there were such safe, beautiful stretches of beach-front road like in Da Nang. As it is, I was able to get an indoor trainer setup to alleviate the cycling blues. Still don’t know when I’ll gather the courage to venture onto the streets. I’ve been to the beach towns of Da Nang and Nha Trang, and know that the slower traffic with fewer cars makes those destinations a lot safer than here in the big city. Anyway, congratulations on your move and good luck! I think you picked the right location to accommodate your love of cycling.
Ahhh...Da Nang! Hoi Anh is stunning and lots of great riding on smaller roads there. When it all gets too hot take a bus up to Dalat: temps are much cooler and the architecture is French/Swiss mountain chalet style...it's a very European feel. And you will really get your hills in! Vietnam was such a great choice...you will never want to leave!
0:49 the weather hasn't been so great here. Are you kidding me? Im dreaming about this weather, here in LA. I love this cloudy and gloomy weather that you have there.
Speaking of new home 4:45, it is so interesting lots of ppl want to move to America and ready to do almost everything and here you are, a native American, who left his country like 5, 6 years ago and have no plans to come back :) Well, home where you feel happy. Sometimes I watch your videos and I think Vietnam is the best country you have been to so far. Congrats and good luck guys.
At this point, the only reason I'd want to move back to the US is to get Thuong a US passport. The US does offer a chance at a better life for many people coming from poor environments though, but for us right now Vietnam has more opportunities for us I believe.
You should check out Vietnam Meets Dustin...he went all out and moved the Vietnamese countryside. Really interesting guy as he's a good looking guy so he does modeling and then is out there in the mud fishing and in the dirt growing bananas. LOL! Phuc Map also moved there around the same time Dustin did (about 7 years ago). And Max McFarlin came from a tiny town in the south and moved there after visiting a few countries. Chris Lewis moved there from Colorado and he speaks amazing Vietnamese.
Beautiful scenery and nice ride! Should I bring my bike with me on the trip next month? I'm sure you will do Da Nang - Hue route over the Hai Van pass one of these days. It's about 100 km and a good climb. Have fun! Thanks for posting TWC.
Awesome! Glad to see you both safe, sound, and back in the Kaze saddles^^ So happy you both kept them! Looking forward to the new Danang adventures and bike routes as Thailand and Vietnam are my favs! Thank you both! Horn beeping is a courtesy for others around. Noise pollution can suck but at least you are aware to some degree. Cheers!
Great to see you guys safely in Vietnam. I remember you trying gopro, insta360 and dji pocket cameras. What did you finally settle with and why? What are you using for this video? Looks great. 😀
Thanks! 😃 It depends on the situation, for long cycling videos like this, I prefer GoPro Hero. For night videos and walking videos, I prefer Pocket 2. For 360 videos, Insta360 X2 is great. For something simple to use and non-discrete, the Insta360 Go2 is great.
Very cool! love being near the water, makes riding so much more enjoyable.. I am very blessed to live in an area near the water with a nice bike trail. Stay safe and enjoy guys!
I’m not a fan of the urban highway type of road design they’ve implemented but in general it looks pretty safe. Probably safer than my town on the south coast of England. It’s actually similar along the seafront road. Except ours is single lane and the drivers speed along there and can pass cyclists aggressively. So maybe the dual lane works in this case. Especially when traffic is low.
I agree, it's really bad design and doesn't work well with how the local people need to use it (lots of backward driving). But it's at least a little safer than Thailand's with the lower speeds.
Nah it's not safer than the UK. There are a lot of crashes on that road near the beach. Once outside of the city, on the right roads, it is pretty safe
Hey, you made it! Congratulations, and well done. Sorry about the little scratch on Thuong's bike, but that's pretty darned good considering how baggage handlers sometimes work their "magic". 🤕 (Sounds like Thuong's English is getting better, too!) Happy she's back home, and looking forward to your continued adventures. Cheers, folks!
You made it, great job. I cycled/ebiked in China for years, echolocation at its finest. Nearly died a few times I reckon. Thanks for sharing, motivates me to get out there.
I'm glad to see you guys made it back to Vietnam and welcome to my neighborhood and playground Đà Nẵng, even though I'm American / from Southern California, I've made Đà Nẵng my home base for everything Asia etc... At any rate Vo Nguyen Giap is perfect for riding just heading towards Sơn Trà mountain, plus the weather you're experiencing in Đà Nẵng has been odd for the last 6 months with cold to wind and rainy at times. Also please do not live in the Expat Bauble, call (Cracker Town) aka (An Thuong) you and your wife should look into the (Anh Hai Bac area) where I live or (Hải Châu area) there's also the ( Cam Le area) which also have a beach view, the one thing about all these area is that they're very good and convenient local areas with more to offer than the Expat Bauble. Any way much love and welcome home from one Fellow RUclipsr to the next. I will love to do a meet and greet if you're OK with it, when I get back from Thailand. I'm in Bangkok at the moment and my hotel is next to Terminal 21 area.
I was in Danang 10 years ago. Took a bus from Bangkok to Laos border, changed bus and drove on to VN border. There were 60 of us cyclists on Central VN bike tour. We biked from Lao border to the coastal city of Danang, Hoi An and biked back. Visiting tunnels, emperor tombs. We also biked up Banana Hill and stayed at the hotel up there. No aircon as it was quite high and cool year round. Traffic on country roads are not heavy but Danang was similar to Bangkok but a little less congested. Hardly there was any traffic lights, but cyclists, motorcyclists and cars seemed to know to avoid each other quite well. We could not do that well and needed to follow the guide Van around Danang whenever we left the hotel. There were many empty buildings in Danang. The guide said real estate was overdeveloped and could not sell. We spent in Central VN for 8 days altogether.
The mountains next to the sea is such a beautiful sight. I love how you began weaving in the music at that point in the video as well (your editing does not go unnoticed). It's a lovely introduction ride to your new life in the country. What happened to Thuong's bike is also too bad. Like you say, hopefully it's just cosmetic blemish. It sucks whenever something like that happens.
WOW Home at last Thuong i love your new bike i think that scratch will rub out it has been a long time for you to see your family but at last your there keep safe looking forward to see you both on your trips around Vietnam D.
Glad you got to take your full-sized Bikes with you this time but I miss the folding bike experiences 🙃 Your temporary hometown is lovely and SO is Thuong! 😆
You could try some nail polish for the touch-up job on Thuong's bike. Your new home area looks pretty nice. Is Thuong's home town within easy reach of Da Nang?
Beach road looks really great for riding. The inner city part of Da Nang looks chaotic . Personally I would live close to the beach area. Enjoy the ride!
Thanks for the introductory video from Da Nang. I look forward to your longer rides into the country parts of 60 or more kms. I would be interested in spending Jan and Feb 2024 in Da Nang. Let is know prices for one or two bedroom house rentals and routes.
What a beautiful setting you have ended up in! That long ride along the beach with the mountains in the background felt very uplifting. You will soon learn-to instinctively avoid the dangerous motocycles and the grid locked parts of the city . Hope you can soon join a friendly cycling club which will allow you to start socialising . Were you serious about the idea of renting a house close to the beach and mountains ? Hope the rents are not sky high, because it sounds so perfect !
Nice being able to read your cycling computer screen when you ride. Difficult to see which metrics you are displaying though 😃. I’m surprised that you don’t have some sort of mirror to more easily see what’s coming up from behind 🤔
Right now, there is not much motor scooters on the roads during the lock down. So bicycling is safe. But I’m curious once they open up and more scooters are on the roads…are you guys still going to bike around the city or go toward the country side where there is less traffic?
Good to see you both alwys on roadbiking any where else around the world with 2nice roadbike more power&drive safely enjoy have fun&godblessed alwys your journey,
Glad you both made it to Vietnam safely. I so want to visit Vietnam. Excited about this new chapter. I hear it's a beautiful country. Texas is not too far way. 🧡💛💚💙💜🤎
Some day, what are you waiting for?? Aren't you there now? It's not a difficult ride, 1,400 feet or so. I did it in 2014 on my 120 lb Rohloff14 tour bike. LOL. The only trucks are the gas tankers not allowed in the tunnel.
@@BrianMax Oh, too bad. LOL. I'm from Edmonton. Happy Easter. Actually, when I got down Hai Van, I was testing my SA drum brake a bit aggressively and the fork snapped clear thru near the top. A laser couldn't do a cleaner cut. My faulty designed brazeons and it was too wimpy to start with for the weight. So anyway there was a welder only 2 miles away. Then later it broke 2 more times. LOL. Geeze you need a bunch of rain, Lake Mead is sinking like the Titanic. I've been there half a dozen times. The last in Oct. 2019, I just drove thru. Nothing is boring in Utah, eh? Can't say I agree with filling up the place with settlers. DaNang is beautiful and sure is growing. The weather isn't so great, coastal is always windy.
RC- Right in Danang you won’t find many gravel roads. But Hoi An is not far at all, and you can find gravel roads down there. By careful of the heat. In Danang and Hoi An , it was very very hot by mid morning. I was there in June. Pretty sure is cools down a bit in December January. I recommend Dalat . Dirt roads just outside of the city center. With big elevation gains / loss. Not hot at all.
Feels weird the both of you riding on the right side of the road, since I've watched many of your videos riding on the left side in Japan and Thailand 😅
Glad to see you guys are safe and doing well! Hope the food there suits you! South East Asian food might take a little getting used to for the long term!
Where is your Trimm One? I need a new bike computer and considering one. I live in Tokyo and wondering about the maps. Does it have a Viet Nam map? I've been to Hoi An and loved it. Wish i had my bike to ride there.
Thuong is still using the Trimm One, I usually use my Bolt since I like the Strava live segments there better. The maps are connected from your phone, so it works fine here.
hey! Welcome to Da Nang Im from Da Nang and I have watched multiple videos of yours. Lets catch up sometime. I paraglide on Son Tra mountain at the weekends
Please please please do the climb out the back of the hotel retreat at the end of that road past the buddha!!! OMG it's like 23%? 25%? That entire little road and climb was amazing. LOVE LOVE LOVE DE NANG!
Looking good and will be even better when the suns out,i would be interested in knowing how you find Vietnam compared to Thailand value for money wise.
Let's pick up the pace and find a fishing spot, Thuong-san! Asia could really use electric motorbikes and scooters. They are ubiquitous, but 2 stroke engines are noisy and pollute quite a bit.
The horns are much more intense in HCMC and Hanoi. It's a wave of sound that starts from early in the morning until late in the evening. It's an unhealthy amount of noise pollution.
Depends on a few things, but one thing I really miss from Thailand (or at least Chiang Mai) is the big mega gas stations. They had a rest area, a nice convenience store, nice bathrooms, and usually other food options to stock up on during a ride. There are very few convenience stores here and no decent bathrooms I've found yet out on a ride, but lots of family run food shops which should do the trick.
@@TwoWheelCruise I understand. When I went to Vietnam a few years back, I was surprised that they have so many motorcycles in the streets. They drive fast too :) but Vietnam is a very wonderful country and a good example of how a thriving country can be developed as a business hub just like what they did. I am always amazed by the fact of leveling up to something that would make a difference not today but for the people of tomorrow.
Never felt safer riding on the roads. I rode De Nang to Hue return on the highways and it was super safe. In fact...like most cities...it only becomes more dangerous when you start hitting the busy areas in the city where there are so many distractions. That said...there's so much awareness of cyclists that you don't feel like you're going to be hit...and there is ZERO aggression. Literally...no angry drivers thinking they own the roads. It's a great part of the world to ride in.
Is it safe-----it would be a lot safer if you had mirrors on your bike. I've been riding for 70 years and after I was hit by an 18-wheeler many years ago, I would never ride after that without a mirror. It's saved me from being hit a number of times over the years. I would like to see both of you safely cycling many years into the future.

The trees within the cities was the beautiful memories I had about Vietnam.

@@GordoGambler Low pressure systems tend to clean out the stagnant air, but Da Nang has clean air year round for the most part. Nothing like Chiang Mai or Bangkok. It's more like Japan.
To be fair Vietnam has a lot of EU support and it makes da nang amazing
Seriously amazing
Head south or even Saigon and it makes Thailand look like Florida clean
Biking in the south is a challenge too or more stressful than the north
Best thing about the north for me was the mountain rides near son la to sapa
The beach and the surroundings look amazing! What a place to ride. I'm sorry for Thuong's bike, I also hope it is just surface damage and nothing underlying, hopefully you guys can get it checked soon!
I know you don't like biking on the walkpath, but it looks actually wonderful even for biking, I would definitely rest it (sure I don't have carbon roadbike, so I wouldn't be too worried about a couple of bumps :))

Lovely beautiful ride
Beach road looks really great for riding. The inner city part of Da Nang looks chaotic . Personally I would live close to the beach area. Enjoy the ride!
Yeah, we won't be doing regular rides into the city part, just some shopping rides probably.
So many countries within 6 months. Lots of interesting cycling for us to view. Thanks!

Thanks! We've never cycled with mirrors, but we can hear most vehicles coming from behind us.
That stretch of road reminds me of California coasts with a hint of Hawaiian vegetation. Very nice!
Right now, there is not much motor scooters on the roads during the lock down. So bicycling is safe. But I’m curious once they open up and more scooters are on the roads…are you guys still going to bike around the city or go toward the country side where there is less traffic?
There is no lock down now, but maybe there is less traffic from less tourism. We're going to look for the safer roads for riding.
So glad to see you guys again you're my addiction kudos to you
Thank you! 😁
You welcome 🥰
Very nice sceneries to say the least. Congratulation on making it to your final destination since both of you talked about that before the pandemic.

Nice long flat, hope can do a ride there in the near future. Do you have video where you guys unpack and build the bike?
Not this time unfortunately.
Glad you both made it to Vietnam safely. I so want to visit Vietnam. Excited about this new chapter. I hear it's a beautiful country. Texas is not too far way. 🧡💛💚💙💜🤎
Thanks! We're excited to explore more here :)
Very good to see that you guys made it to Vietnam
Thanks!
I LOVE Da Nang! Beach road is a nice ride.
Some day I'll cycle the Hai Van Pass from Da Nang to Hue.
Some day, what are you waiting for?? Aren't you there now? It's not a difficult ride, 1,400 feet or so. I did it in 2014 on my 120 lb Rohloff14 tour bike. LOL. The only trucks are the gas tankers not allowed in the tunnel.
We're looking forward to that one too! It doesn't look too bad and should have some great views.
@@GordoGambler I'm in Salt Lake City now.
@@BrianMax Oh, too bad. LOL. I'm from Edmonton. Happy Easter.
Actually, when I got down Hai Van, I was testing my SA drum brake a bit aggressively and the fork snapped clear thru near the top. A laser couldn't do a cleaner cut. My faulty designed brazeons and it was too wimpy to start with for the weight. So anyway there was a welder only 2 miles away. Then later it broke 2 more times. LOL.
Geeze you need a bunch of rain, Lake Mead is sinking like the Titanic. I've been there half a dozen times. The last in Oct. 2019, I just drove thru. Nothing is boring in Utah, eh? Can't say I agree with filling up the place with settlers.
DaNang is beautiful and sure is growing. The weather isn't so great, coastal is always windy.
cool that you can ride to Hoi An. Is there gravel road riding in the area?
I think there's a decent amount, but there is definitely some very rough concrete riding in some areas.
RC- Right in Danang you won’t find many gravel roads.
But Hoi An is not far at all, and you can find gravel roads down there.
By careful of the heat. In Danang and Hoi An , it was very very hot by mid morning.
I was there in June. Pretty sure is cools down a bit in December January.
I recommend Dalat . Dirt roads just outside of the city center.
With big elevation gains / loss.
Not hot at all.
@@DaveEPie awesome. thanks!
Hi may I ask, what spec you use to film this? 4K 25frame? Cause I wonder how long can your GoPro battery last!
4k 60fps. Usually overheats before the battery goes, so we rotate batteries.
Feels weird the both of you riding on the right side of the road, since I've watched many of your videos riding on the left side in Japan and Thailand 😅
It feels so strange to be back on the right side after 7 years haha
Yesterdays ride in the North of England, 16 degrees with short sleeves, I thought it was nice and warm.
"winter" is a little different here
Looks like it safer to cycle in Vietnam than in Thailand for the lower volume of traffic. 👍🏻
Safer in some regards, yes
Glad to see you guys are safe and doing well! Hope the food there suits you! South East Asian food might take a little getting used to for the long term!
Thanks! Thuong's been cooking Vietnamese food for a while, so we're pretty used to it now.
Where is your Trimm One? I need a new bike computer and considering one. I live in Tokyo and wondering about the maps. Does it have a Viet Nam map? I've been to Hoi An and loved it. Wish i had my bike to ride there.
Thuong is still using the Trimm One, I usually use my Bolt since I like the Strava live segments there better. The maps are connected from your phone, so it works fine here.
Thoung looks so happy 😀 cool helmets I want one!!!
Thanks! 😃 These helmets are very safe and cheap. Great value.
"Beautiful! Me? Not you!" How rude 😂😂😂🙈
😂
Yes, Thuong is more beautiful than the scenery. :-)
hey! Welcome to Da Nang
Im from Da Nang and I have watched multiple videos of yours.
Lets catch up sometime.
I paraglide on Son Tra mountain at the weekends
Please please please do the climb out the back of the hotel retreat at the end of that road past the buddha!!! OMG it's like 23%? 25%? That entire little road and climb was amazing. LOVE LOVE LOVE DE NANG!
I went down that the other day, which was really scary. Climbing it will probably be easier haha 😂
I look to visit Vietnam 🇻🇳 again & get into the bike culture.
Looking good and will be even better when the suns out,i would be interested in knowing how you find Vietnam compared to Thailand value for money wise.
Yes, I'll be talking about those topics in future videos.
@@TwoWheelCruise Thats great thank you and have a great time in Vietnam
Let's pick up the pace and find a fishing spot, Thuong-san!
Asia could really use electric motorbikes and scooters. They are ubiquitous, but 2 stroke engines are noisy and pollute quite a bit.
Agreed, hopefully they push for more electric motorbikes, some of the gas ones here are nasty.
I'm guessing that Thuong is happy to be back "home", no doubt.
She sure is!
🌴🌴🌴🌴🌊🌊🌊 how's the infrastructure there The coast looks quite beautiful
its a good video and I hope you get settled in soon
Thanks! 😃
You should be able to fly drones out there. Must be cool to put a background music on that drone video.
We’ve seen a few, but we don’t have one now
Keep safe guys your
Wow nice bikes♥️♥️♥️
Good to see many trees in the city. It will help regulating the heat.
YES, lots of trees in Vietnamese cities :)
Hi, I have a question is Thuong Also using the same wahoo element bolt as you?
No, she's using a different computer. We just made a video about it.
refreshing view..definitely prefer this over chiang mai..Ride safe ~!
The ocean views are a nice change.
Awesome ride! 🚴🏽 great to get back in the saddle and nice beach view there 👍🏽
Btw group rides and fishing sound like a lot of fun!
Thanks!
When you mention vietnam, I remembered the movie "Forrest gump", when he talked about the rain that last 4 month LOL if that's true, prepare for rain.
Yeah, not looking forward to that season. We may go North then to escape.
Traffic seemed not bad, what time of day was the ride?
around noon, less traffic mid-day
man... you should try sunrise ride to son tra mountain, my personal favourite part of the town
We've done some sunset rides there, very nice area.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 looks like a great place to ride!
The horns are much more intense in HCMC and Hanoi. It's a wave of sound that starts from early in the morning until late in the evening. It's an unhealthy amount of noise pollution.
Yep, that's why we're not living there
Was there in June 2018 and it was very hot. maybe lesser traffic now because of covid.
so far which is better Thailand or Vietnam in terms of cycling friendliness?
Depends on a few things, but one thing I really miss from Thailand (or at least Chiang Mai) is the big mega gas stations. They had a rest area, a nice convenience store, nice bathrooms, and usually other food options to stock up on during a ride. There are very few convenience stores here and no decent bathrooms I've found yet out on a ride, but lots of family run food shops which should do the trick.
@@TwoWheelCruise I understand. When I went to Vietnam a few years back, I was surprised that they have so many motorcycles in the streets. They drive fast too :) but Vietnam is a very wonderful country and a good example of how a thriving country can be developed as a business hub just like what they did. I am always amazed by the fact of leveling up to something that would make a difference not today but for the people of tomorrow.
Never felt safer riding on the roads. I rode De Nang to Hue return on the highways and it was super safe. In fact...like most cities...it only becomes more dangerous when you start hitting the busy areas in the city where there are so many distractions. That said...there's so much awareness of cyclists that you don't feel like you're going to be hit...and there is ZERO aggression. Literally...no angry drivers thinking they own the roads.
It's a great part of the world to ride in.
Yeah, we've felt very safe so far. Just need to be careful for bikes pulling into the roads.
Is it safe-----it would be a lot safer if you had mirrors on your bike. I've been riding for 70 years and after I was hit by an 18-wheeler many years ago, I would never ride after that without a mirror. It's saved me from being hit a number of times over the years. I would like to see both of you safely cycling many years into the future.
I am glad all is going well.
Did you end up paying any import tax for the bikes?
The costal Road look pretty safe compared to what we have here in penang. Here is just 2 lanes without any walk ways.
Yeah, it's pretty nice for a long way.
