🥳 another bike shop tour! I really enjoy watching stuff we are missing here in the Philippines.

@bruceneiman5158 3 года назад

This is more of a boutique bike shop for misinformed customers who know nothing about bikes sadly I think it is great place to pay way to much for very little. Truth is found through wisdom and experience not fancy store fronts.

@christill 3 года назад

Definitely the left Pinarello out of those two. The colour scheme is a bit nicer I think, and it has disc brakes. I used to be into fully white bikes when I was younger but now in my 30s I would only get white if it was mixed with a lot of black components. My first road bike was a Specialized Allez with white frame, fork, stem, bar tape. The whole thing. And I love single speeds. I feel like I miss having a full sized single speed. The Brompton single speed is great but doesn’t feel quite the same. But I can’t have 10 bikes. Got to be somewhat responsible. Also great to see Victor on the channel.

Balance bikes are very popular in North America as well. For young kids to run with their balance bikes with their legs, it helps with them learning how to balance on the bikes and when they transition to pedal bikes, they can easily transition to them without relying on training wheels. Worked like a charm with my daughter!

@frozenbean 3 года назад

Wow, teaming up with one of the OG Japan RU-vidrs! It's always interesting to see display bikes with no bar tape - do they let you pick if you buy it? I recently got a suspension stem for my cross bike, since I've been riding more fire roads and singletrack on it lately and not cross. I had to sell my mountain bike a while ago, and I sure do miss my Marzocchi Bombers when I'm on the trails! My neighbour's daughter has a little balance bike. She's about 3-4 years old. She's just learning to balance and sit on a bike, and it's easier for her to put her feet down, and isn't totally comfortable yet, so she can also push herself along with her feet. It's adorable to watch her scoot around.

@TwoWheelCruise 3 года назад

It's been a while since Victor and I met up, it was a lot of fun :) I used to watch him before moving here. I think you can get different bar tape, but will have to pay extra.

Nice tour i am a noob when it comes to bikes so your videos give alot of good information. I like the red bike on the right. I don't know if it was the lighting but it looked like a brighter red than the other one. Also here in the US the bikes come with training wheels and then you get them taken off when it is time for you to learn how to balance lol. So balance bikes isn't really a thing over here. Great video.

Hi Cruise, all the young kids start riding with balance bikes here in So Cal. The advantages to them is kids can start riding at a younger age and skip training wheels all together. My friend’s little girl started riding on one at 2 years old, than straight to a pedal bike at 3-1/2 and now is 4-1/2 and rides so well. Confident and excellent balance. Rides dirt trails in the local mountains too. As a cyclist myself I can see she is very competitive. So when covid is under control, I’ll definitely enter her is some fun kids races. The balance bike she used was made by schwinn, cheaper price. The more popular brand of kids bikes are made by Whoom. They are imported from Austria, and as you guessed it, are expensive. Anyways, balance bikes are great to get kids riding allot younger. Myself I was about 6 or 7. I’m still riding and I’m 65 now. Raced road bikes in the 80’s, and mountain bike Racing in the 90’s. I’ll never stop riding. I’ve always loved riding, I feel so free on a bike. Like flying. 😀

@ewok007 3 года назад

I used to have a trek FX 2 (2019) and used it for regular commute in my hometown, even used it to travel (i stayed at la Habana for a couple months for studies and brought my bike), I adapted it a topeak rack and a mtx bag with lateral folding paniers and I must say, even it gets heavier, the bike itself is kinda light and nimble. Sadly, someone stole the bike when i left it at the garage without puting the lock. Then I bought a trek Dualsport 3 that i enjoy really much because the front suspension absorbs tons of impact from the cobble that is pretty much common here. Thing is, the bike is kinda heavy and the hills get nasty with a rack behind your back and a slightlly more slack geometry than the FX, so im not convinced that much about a suspension fork on a commute bike (even if the cobble more or less demands it), i think Victor is gonna be more than okay with the FX model because it have enough clearance for 700x40c tires with 50-70psi pressure that can handle more or less the impacts. Good upgrades for the FX bike: A cassette with more cogs (changed a 11-36 for a 11-42, that helped me on the unberable hills of my town and with extra load); x1 crankset: makes the bike easy to clean, cut extra weight, is simpler and looks cool; pedals: the wellgo pedals that comes with this bike are awfull AF.

Agreed. "Balance bikes" (aka push bikes) are popular in the US for toddlers because they haven't learned to ride a 2 wheel bike without training bikes yet. For them, they're more fun than just walking and easier and more safe, not to mention cheaper (would out grow in 1-2 years anyways), than a regular bike. Think of them as preschool for bikes. 🚲👼😅
