- This is my first bike ride in a VERY long time. I'm looking forward to getting back on our nice road bikes next week, but for now a nice mamachari ride will do. We're cycling in the Vietnam countryside in Thuong's hometown.

Yer
It's so great to have you back and to finally see the dynamic duo together again
Good to be back :)
@@TwoWheelCruise KWUHZ
The new short haircut looks great on you. The bike parts falling off while pedaling was really funny 😄
Greetings from Brazil to you both! 👋
It can't be just me that LOLed every time that fender fell out of the basket 😂
😂😂😂
Nice to see you back with your wife. She definitely did a good job while you were away. The hair cut looks good on you and you don't look bad with long hair either. Those bikes have seen better days for sure. Great video.
A beautiful corner of Vietnam. I have been to Vietnam once, 20 years ago. I can see the extraordinary material progress. Good to see you together again.
Nice to have you back. Yes it's something that you notice as a cyclist, you are cycling along a beautiful country road, listening to the birds and insects and feeling so happy and you come across some rubbish that has been dumped beside the road. Usually big items like settees or mattresses, and you think they had to put them in a car or van to get here, why not carry on to the free council tip. In some cases we have seen rubbish dumped within a few hundred yards of the council tip. It was funny watching you on that bike, I was waiting for the wheel to come off in a classic Keystone cops moment 😅
Thuong’s English is getting so good. I’m so proud of her ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks!
Cruise....glad you and Thuong still speak Nihongo/Japanese. I should have learned the language while I lived in Okinawa.. I saw the two kids on the bike give you a double take..Can't wait to see you and Thuong in Michigan video.
Great to see you ride bikes again.
Very nice video, I love seeing the countryside and the kids saying hello are sweet!
Firstly, I just like to say..."Hello!" And, secondly, I'm thinking of re-watching the vid to turn it into a drinking game for every time the fender pops out of the basket. 😂
great!!!! awesome ride
He doesn't look homeless anymore, Thuong! Let's go and meet the family, Thuong-san!
😂
The new haircut looks great. I would always trust Vietnamese women in matters of aesthetics.
I'm really enjoying these videos in Vietnam. I'd love to visit someday. I liked the yellow/brown color style on that bike. This video reminded me of when I used to visit my cousins and borrow any bike we could from a relative or friend and have fun riding around.
It is great to see you both back together again. I really enjoy these exploring typing videos.
Definitely the short cut is way better! Good job Thuong 👏
You guys looked so happy to be back riding together! A great countryside, slice of life, riding video. We played a drinking game where every time a fender fell, we took a shot. (hic!) 私たちは酔っている❗️lol😂
That’s too funny 😂
Awesomeness second new video and Vietnam adventure you guys!! 🤩🤩🤩 and appreciate the ride around this big green countryside really wish I was here where you are!! Thanks much again!! 🚴🚴🚴
Glad to see you back! Best wishes on your journey to move to the US.
It's nice your back cycling again
Great to see a happy couple back together again. The time apart was difficult, but I'm sure the experience helped you both to know how important you are to each other.
Best wishes for a quick resolution to Thuong's Green Card and your move to the US.
Thanks!
Good to see you two together.
Great to see you guys back together, really enjoyed this video and the scenery, my son and I are going to travel to Vietnam for the first time in March would like to visit that town on our journey what is the name of the town??,
Funny seeing the kid's following you guys 😂, looking forward to the next video, 🙏🇦🇺🇻🇳🇺🇲.
It’s way in the middle of nowhere and plenty of other towns like it closer to cities. Have a fun trip!
Welcome back. Will be nice to see you both back on proper road bikes. On another note, I wish I could have given you some duct tape to keep that fender from falling so many times!
Sadly Thuong's family had little materials and all shops were closed for Lunar New Year 😂
Good to see Cruise is back !!! ..Short Hair suites you .enjoy the rest of Tet..Its back to work tomorrow..Ride Safe Guys....
I like thoung's. responce she is so cute.. "u don't know?". 🤭. Nice 👍
Great to see you both together again doing your thing..lovey countryside and very peaceful, apart from the curse of the falling fender!🤭 that old faithful bike is a real workhorse!
mamachari's last forever :)
I’m sure your boyfriend will love your new haircut. lmao
Good to see both of you. Thanks for the video!
i thought the long hair looked better... nice to see you back ..
Wow Thuong’s English is so good. Any day on a bike is good but it would be nice to have some tools
Humbling riding bikes with no maintenance. Like when we were kids. Rode until the wheels fell off, and we would pick up the pieces, and keep riding them lol. That frame design on the Mtn bike she was riding looks eerily similar to my Trek Marlin 5 ....... hmmmmm :)
Thuong needa a side hustle as a hairstylist! Cruise's hair came out So cute! 😂
12:08 How dare you call out Thuong's scientifically proven tall-ificatiin method 🤣😂
Short hair. And those bikes are just sad.. lol Glad to have you both back.
Always remeber you never forget how to ride a bike.
Short and neat is best.
Man it felt so good to see and hear you again, dont get me wrong Thuong did great videos as well but i am used to you, your voice and your thaughts...been loosing weight an working on fitness against my back pain and some other serious stuff, i always watch your videos to do cardio on my trainingbike, already lost 70+ Pounds, and everytime i have a hard time to get up to training again i start with one of your videos, keep doing the good work my friend. Greetings from Germany at the other side of the world.❤ waiting for your next video 😊
That's awesome! Keep it up!
Cruise the short hair suits you really well! Good Job Thuong!
The haircut done by Thuong. made look you "years" younger...like maybe 20?? Glad you and Thuong are in the countryside. the Hanoi video was crazy..all that traffic..
Cruise it seems that you are somewhat of a celebrity in Thuong's village.🙂 Good to see you reunited again. You both seem very happy. Can't wait for the episodes when you are both tackling Monkey Mountain on the road bikes. Your fitness will come back very fast. 👍🚴♂️
Looking forward to it!
Nice to see all the people strolling along on their bikes. Different from the usual chaos.
Thoung looks very healthy with the extra weight. She also seemed to really enjoy all the food she ate in her solo vids..
She loves her food :)
Thank you for the tour. Reminds me the good old days with your tours around Japan.
Amazing video! Cruise, now that you are a house building expert, fancy making a video about some of these Vietnamese houses? Some of them look really nice, like the one towards the beginning of the video next to the water. Looking forward to those US vs Vietnam videos.
That would be cool. Most are concrete here though which I don't know much about
The new short haircut looks great on you.
Thanks!
Great to see you guys riding together again!
What kind of camera setup did you use while riding?
Just gopro and chest mount
Thanks!
A nice relaxing ride. I have not been off my bike for more than 7 days in 25 years, it must be awkward but has to be. I had the same bike experience from the locals whilst visiting Jamaica. My father-in-law said that any foreigner seen should be driving not biking.
Wow that is a long streak
Vietnam looks so green
It really is
Enjoyed Thuong home town and ride!good to see you’ll together!seeing the roads ,other cyclist people.the hometown ride was interesting well explained markers of new villages burial grounds yes the Vietnamese children interesting in that foreigner .great video of hometown and rural Vietnam !
One of my favorite videos ,paul they keep getting better !
I like that new hair dew better hair by em Thuong so mot
Great job on the haircut Thuong. Wish you both well and happy new year.
Cool ride bro,
Oh boy the bikes are screaming for grease and oil 😂
😂😂😂 There's actually like a gallon of some kind of oil all over the MTB chain
lol
much better short my friend and you have a cute bike also...
Thanks 👍
Thuong did a nice job with the hair cut. Those bikes will make you appreciate your bikes back in DaNang.
"water bridge" = aqueduct
Thank you!
As an old hippie from the sixties, i prefer the longer hair😊
Boy, Thuong is really feisty these days! 😄
She's always been that way haha
@@TwoWheelCruise Aw, just happy her dude is home, I reckon.
Staying humble with those bikes...Nice to see you back riding again...
❤❤❤❤❤
The basket came in handy! Now you need a bungee cord to go with it! Lol. Glad to see you two back in the saddle.
Yeah, that would be a good addition
Very nice to see one of these videos again. A shame about those rusty old supermarket bikes, but it was funny. A more significant shame about the cars increasing. I hope people wake up, but it seems as there’s just so much inertia towards continuing the old polluting ways.
I was hoping Thuong was going to end the video by repeating those four special English phrases the locals like to say XD
Ironically the emissions are definitely better with most cars compared to most bikes here
@@TwoWheelCruiseTrue. They may be less bad in terms of air pollution but still worse in terms of total climate warming emissions though. Not sure. But they’re definitely too big and not designed for the area. No doubt about that.
There’s an opportunity to start a small bike repair shop 😅
Definitely
Nice haircut for the special occasion. A longer hairstyle might be better in the States--maybe a ponytail would suit you? Cool video on those basic bikes. Why not enjoy a little outing on them? Grew up riding bicycles like those, but always had tools to fix things. Enjoyed the authenticity of this relaxing adventure. And, yes, like seeing the “dynamic duo” back on camera.
All of our tools are in Da Nang unfortunately. We'll need to get some for her family home too
Listen to the wife buddy. She says short hair than short hair.
Glad to have you back.
I'm ok with long hair but Thuong is the boss so one does what the boss say's.
Thuong gave you a great hair cut much nicer short
They are called aquaducts.
Thanks!
If I saw you on that bike anywhere, I also would say, “WTF”? You looked pretty goofy! But good to see a video with you and Truong riding again. It doesn’t matter what you ride, as long as you are riding I guess. Good job on the hair cut Truong. Looks great!
fair enough haha
🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳
short hair suits you and Thuong cut your hair so you must like it. Yes I agree makes you look younger.
Longer.
It's.good to see you back on a bike you got your stretch exercises with picking up that mud Guard./fender. Maybe them kids were fans of your channel. It's nice to see you without the cast of Mad max. You will soon be Racing up monkey mountain in no time. It would bug me having them kids buzzing around like fly's but it's better than then them growing bricks at you. Have a great day and take care.ps I remember your Train trip
Haha I guess it was a good stretch break. The first monkey mtn is gonna be tough
Thuong's right 🙂
I think I counted six or seven Fender drops on your bike ride today
Twice that.
There were a few more off camera too haha
It’s a aqueduct
With a leak. LOL
Cruse..do you think the kids are laughing because you a "Mamachari" bike? Or the fender keeps falling out of the basket?
Could be that too, but they'll still be giggling when they just see me walking too
Is it just me, or is Cruise’ “ope” usage up since returning from MI ;) ?
It's the longest time I spent in a dominant English environment in 8 years haha
Hair looks bueno, both hair
I'm with Thoung on this one, She did a good job on your haircut, you look good, Cruise.
Thanks!!
The Samson & Delilah story, realized.
Long hair. ;)
Everyone knows swimming makes you tall gang
the RUclips channel NorCal Cycling has p12 racing
I might get back into it a bit once we're back in the US
I never ride with helmet. Even on a moped, no helmet.
Now I know why this video is 30 minutes, cause you dropped the fender so many times XD
😂
Great video, haircut suits you and those bikes are crazy. Is Michigan a good & safe place to cycle?
I wouldn't ride on most main roads, but there are many XC trails, rail trails, and dirt roads which are very nice
nowhere in america is safe to ride or live over 2000 people a day are killed or injured in america everyday because of gun violence
Wow. You can get a workout on a bad bike
I rode all over Hanoi and Saigon on that girly bike. Made damn sure I had all my tools, water, tiedowns and rain cape with me.
I had the stem way too high and coming loose, oops. Axle nuts keep coming loose with too many attachments.
Traffic was the FUN part to me. LOL.
Working some different muscles though haha
Now you know what racism feels like ! I am in a mixed marriage with 2 children who went to very white , very middle class schools and suffered because of their slightly darker skin. As for myself , my husband’s family are always referring to my way too pale skin. You cannot win,, there is intrinsic racism in most societies, whatever their colour.
On a lighter note, it was lovely seing you cycling together again, even on rickety bikes !
Well done Thuong on the haircut . You actually suit both short snd long hair, it is just that when you arrived, you really looked exhausted from all the hard work and travelling.
C’mon man! That was not racism. As he explained, that part of Vietnam does not see a lot of foreigners. Everyone is curious and they want to see. Don’t confuse curiosity with racism. As you saw, everyone was polite and some would say “hello”. I am half Japanese and live in the US. In my 63 years of life I can count on one hand how many times I have experienced a racist action from someone. If you always assume racism as your first thought, you will see it everywhere. Don’t get me wrong, racism does exist. But it is only as bad as you let it be in your mind. If you let it affect you, they win.
@@walterreed8182 Neither Cruise nor Thuong clearly enjoyed that kind of curiosity .
I can vouch from a life time of experience, that the most painful form of racism is actually the discrete , polite remarks which put you in your place as an outsider. You need to have lived through this to understand ; it has absolutely nothing to do with you having a friendly, open attitude in your interaction with others.
The unwanted attention does get old, especially since it never stops no matter how long you live here or how well you speak the local language. There are some bad areas in the US too, but luckily metro Detroit is a very international and more accepting area
Your hair looks great, Thuong did a good job. Also, she is nowhere near fat, she is still tiny. :) When she gets to the US, she will feel VERY thin. I feel a little chubby when I'm in Asia and then as soon as I land in the US, I feel thin. lol.
Yeah I think she will be shocked
Nice ride spoiled. LOL. That's why I've had 2 or 3 shoelaces in my pocket all the time for 50 years. And tools in my other pockets. I took my own tools on the plane when I flew over there the times I knew I was going to ride them jalopies.
Those axel nuts always wiggle loose on those bikes unless it's rusted. That just goes to show how useless MTBs are in poor areas.
I thought you both would have forgotten Japanese already. LOL.
Still not spring in Canada.
Normally I always bring tools, but they are at our home in Da Nang now. We still speak 90% Japanese together as our main language
Short much better😊
excellent haircut
You are saying "like" so many times since going back to the States. Better speak Japanese with English subtitles lol.
Like that would be better? LOL 😂
You rất lười😂
😂😂😂 ACD
Definitely short hair! Keep your wife happy!
Short is best
And cruise please get a new and better bike asap that one is a piece of you know what!! 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Back on good bikes now haha
@@TwoWheelCruise thanks for the reply and thank goodness 😮💨😮💨😮💨
@@TwoWheelCruise 🚴🚴🚴
you did great job. your last hair when you make video, personally are make me nerve i hate men with long hair. this far more better. this is MEN should look like.
😂
i am for the short hair.
