Two vids in one week?! What an awesome gift! I love a man of his word, you mentioned you should do a video of Rookey’s Bike Shop and here we are. If it wasn’t for your channel I wouldn’t know anything about the super chill cycling community in South Korea. Ty!
Just back from a holiday in Lake Garda where I watched the last video after a rather nice carbonara and an espresso or two. Flew back yesterday and now another video! You legend. We have bike shops in Greenwich SE London but nish like Rookey. Probably further afield, TokyoBikes in E London comes to mind. I have bought bars from them and they are really easy to talk to in person and online. I take your point about bike shops in general, can be snooty.
Carbonara and espresso by Lake Garda sounds glorious. Yeah, I found tokyobike in Shoreditch pretty friendly too. Heading to Woods Cyclery in the New Forest over the summer. Getting good vibes from them.
If you are visiting Woods Cyclery make sure you leave time for some rides. It’s a lovely place for riding through the forest with some great trails that are pretty well marked out.
A great looking bike shop with some very nice pieces of kit. You have some great shops there. I also like seeing the Hitch pieces as well. Thanks for the interesting bike checks. Looking forward to your Susie.
I really share your taste in bikes.I don't know if night riding is a good idea in Seoul as regards traffic etc but I enjoy it in the UK in summer.I run dynamo hubs on two of my bikes with Busch and muller lights.They're ideal.No worries about battery life and they don't annoy other road users. The standlight function is good if you have to stop at traffic lights. Country lane riding at night is a great experience. Thanks for another interesting video
Night riding is fine here. No more dangerous than then UK, I’d say. One day I’ll get a dynamo, for now I have a very powerful battery powered light that does the job and last a long time. Thanks for watching.
Been looking forward to this since the moment you mentioned wanting to do a video at the Rookey shop. Didn't disappoint! Love your style, love your videos, love the groovy and funky with fun bass music, ..., etc etc etc but most of all love your inspiring messages, thoughts, ideas, etc to help get people excited about probably riding their bikes and just having fun. Genuinely can't think of anything I don't love about your videos 💚 Please keep making them as long as you are happy to do so 😊 They bring so many people so much joy! Sending love from South Africa 🇿🇦 I hope you had a great weekend. Probably riding your bike, weren't you? 🚲💚
Rookey Bike builds quite a fascinating bikes. I used to own Rookey's custom built Gravel bike (Built in 2018). I used Cannondale's bike geometry (not custom fit) to build the bike but still it was great bike. Unfortunately I don't own it anymore but still it was one of my top 3 bikes I owned. 😄
@@probablyriding well I've made it based on the geometry of Cannondale bike, not personally fitted and measured. so it was bit easlier to sell. For me, Due to financial problem, I had to sell it. otherwise I might had kept it. 😅
Thank you, another great video! That green Rookey bike looks amazing - no disc brakes anymore - did you sell your polyvalent? Look forward to seeing your Susie build, that bike is the dream
Yes. It was tough but I sold the Polyvalent. 5 years and over 15000kms, and t was time to make some room. The guy who bought it seemed super happy with his purchase.
Omg!! I made the artwork for the swift campout bags this year. So cool to see it all the way out in Seoul! Love your videos, they always inspire me to ride more and less seriously haha.
Yes 2 Videos ❤ the Rookey Shop is so nice… I startet to video bike shops in Germany, Belgium and Netherlands… i hope you like this than … also. I would love to see every Day a Video. But it is a lot of work. Sooo nice the Rookey shop lovely people❤Thanks for sharing. Lg Mar
