My deepest condolences on the passing of your grandmother. May she rest in peace and may you always carry her love and happiness in your heart. What wonderful moments together...you, your sister and your grandma's bike. Thank you so much for sharing the sights of your beautiful countryside. Those were some serious steep hills!!!! Well done!!!
It felt like Grandma was on your shoulder on the uphills... telling you to "hang on, you'll get there."...on the downhills she flew off saying "We'll see you later" She must have been some woman for you to fo an "honor ride" of such great distance and meaning.( I wonder if she would have liked the food ? They are so fussy as to how a meal is prepared.Thank you for sharing this touching video. Safe travels
Hi Yuka. I'm so sorry about your loss of your grandma. Sounds like she lived a long prosperous life. So sorry about your break-up with Eric, but I know you will rebound and do great things in the very near future. 🥰
I'm sorry your grandma passed away. And even though I think it's amazing what you are doing I'm sorry I had to laugh as I found it quite hilarious to see you riding that bike. I never expected such a transformation from mountainbiking but I guess it's what going back to your roots looks like. A great video to honor your grandmother!
Hi Yuka, sorry about your grandma, but what a nice way to say goodbye doing this ride of your old neighbourhoods. When I was in high school I got my grandma's old bike and rode with my friends up and down hills and forests long before MTB was a word. Keep your chin up and have fun. Greetings from England, AndyB
Im sorry to hear about your grandmother yuka. My condolences to you and the family. I am glad to see however that you still haven't lost your appetite. 😂
I'm sorry to hear that you lost your grandma but i hope you have lots of happy memories of her. I would love to see more videos from Japan, if possible, as it seems like a fascinating country.
My condolences Yuka, for sure you have a lovely childhood with your grandma. Same as my happy childhood with my bmx bikes (in the 70s and 80s) with Japan made parts lthat were really really so tough, but were quite pricey though. Love to see more you cycling in Japan 😍 Power on!
Awesome video!! I mostly ride MTB but sometimes I turn away from the trail and go do some adventure riding, this gave me that vibe, beautiful scenery and what a great tribute to your grandmother.
Sorry for your loss, but it was interesting to see you ride this long without a single gap jump. You're still a very good narrator. While you were in Japan did you ride any MTB trails (not on your grandmother's bike), that would be interesting to see. I look forward to your continued adventures and がんばって ! ☺
🇺🇸🌏🎊Yes Yuka🎉I'm similar now too, I'm back on my late dad's🏜️reservation🇺🇸and these bikes are indeed different, except one thing, like Grandma, Grandma had baskets👍 Basket=Luxury so simple but make life easier. Much love Yuka you're personality speaks volumes of you, loving caring, like Grandma, I'll say, dEAr💞🇺🇸
Need to do an E-bike conversion to grandma's bike !!! Your sister would love an E-bike to ride with you !!! Between Shimano,Panasonic and Yamaha I think a Sister Sister sponsored ride videolog is in order for ... 🤔
Sorry for your loss Yuka! You should ride in Hokkaido, I'm currently bikepacking here!. Definitely set up better for bikes. Drivers are quite courteous. And omg there are so many places to ride!
I’ve been to the Konyaku Park on the way to a seminar meet-up in uni. I got food poisoning soooo bad (probably not from there, as I was the only one) so that’s all I can connect it with 😢 I’m happy your experience was so much better and you made some amazing memories with your grandma and sister.
Liked the video, a good change from your Mtb stuff. It also reminded me so much of cycling first on mamacharis and then a hybrid for years around Tokushima. First sightseeing then mostly drunk.🤣🤣 The scenery is almost exactly the same. I’m somewhat homesick for my little inaka city
懐かしい、ね？ Riding down that long straight road from high school probably brought back a lot of memories. Thanks for sharing. I lived near Fukuoka for a while many years ago so it was nice to see and hear a bit of Japan again. Looking forward to visiting again soon :) Glad you and your grandmother could go on a bit of an adventure together.
Would love to seem more videos about riding bicycles in Japan, especially from an MTB riders point. NHK has a series of videos about riding road bikes. There are some Japanese language MTB channels, but I’ve not found too much mountain biking in Japan content in English as I would thought was out there.
