I have some pretty sweet bikes. Two of them are hanging from my ceiling, they're my museum bikes with a lot of sentimental value. My Priority 600 gets used on a daily basis as my main commuter. The REEB Sqweeb is my new mountain bike and I love it, the Priority Coast is my cool, laid back cruiser. I'd have more, but I tend to give them away after certain adventures, and I've also had many bikes get stolen :(

@cooper9917 4 года назад

Only 4 + a park tool stand in the living room (aka the shop) haha!

@nikamo6853 4 года назад

Wow I'm surprised you don't have a collection of a high end expensive bikes. And that fact that you rode around the world just about on a cheap trek shows you don't need a few thousand $ in equipment to start bike touring. Kudos to you!!!! And thanks for being an inspiration :)

@duzer 4 года назад

Yep, most bikes will do the job!

@kaffeemitcola6506 4 года назад

I had my best experiences and adventures on Aluminium. It was not a Trek, it was a Focus Hardtail from 1999 what gave me years of joy. Until now I used lighter bikes and more advanced technique but I never had more fun than on that "old" reliable machine. Your bike Collection looks very logical because every bike offers different ride-options and they really differ.

@iainmc9226 4 года назад

I've never really rode a bike, maybe to work or so, but after your video's I've purchased a trek and now going further then ever before.. I have now realised how beautiful my country is in Yorkshire instead of flying by it in a car... Keep turning them pedals 👊

Awesome! Glad to hear that you’re loving the bike life

@libertyfarmsiowa 3 года назад

Just received my priority 600 the other day. Its awesome. I'm an Iowa bike boy (57 yo bike boy who gave up his driver's license in 2004 and went full bike) and I agree its the best ride I've owned since 2004, and its all thanks to you, Ryan, that I even knew Priority Bikes even existed. Its in the process now of getting all decked out for touring and personalized. Thanks again for your great videos. You are definitely a wonderful ambassador for the bike world. P.S. my wife's Priority Current will arrive in June '21, and she is very jealous that I got mine first. Peace!

Oh wow!!! I’m so excited for you!!! I wish you all the best, and your wife too, that Current is sweet!!!

@donalosullivan215 2 года назад

A few years ago I gave one of my bikes away because the frame was too big for me. I had bought it used and planned for it to be my quintessential touring bike. But then life happened and I found somebody who had more need that I did so I just gave him my bike. Ryan, your message rings true!

@myfrequencies1912 4 года назад

Ah man, the death of the Trek.... It's a joy to ride an old bike & to keep it ticking. You can replace/upgrade every other part when it breaks but when the frame goes, it's time to hang it on the wall.... Or from the ceiling.

@pliccut 3 года назад

Nice collection of bikes you got there. I caddied all summer when I was 12 to save up enough money to by a Schwinn Varsity 10-speed. 50 years later I still love riding and love bikes. I currently own a Cervelo C3 and a Giant Fathom 29er. I commute 13 miles to work a few times per week on the Cervelo. I also have an ICG C5 spin bike for cold snowy Ohio winter days. Brine and bikes gears don’t get along.

@paddyredbeard 4 года назад

Hi Ryan! I did my first real bike tour as a Peace Corps volunteer in Ivory Coast in 2001. Another volunteer had organized "Bike-A-Thon 2000", which amounted to a rotating group of PCVs and some of their counterparts riding across the country from one Volunteer's town/village to the next, and putting on party-like PSAs. I ended up about 500km of the route and really had a lot of fun. I think we were riding Trek 720s, or something similar. My PC experience was kind of rough, but Bike-A-Thon 2000 was excellent!

I really want a Priority 600, but I am a trike convert, it's tough to get more comfortable than with a recumbent, especially with a recumbent trike. I'd love to get the Catrike Dumont, doesn't get much better than that one, a full suspension recumbent trike. This whole isolation really wears at me and other riders, where we're used to riding every single day. Now we're in a position where we can't.

@E.R.Schnaben 4 года назад

I’m on my fourth bike during my lifetime. My first, a Monark one speed, was stolen when I was around ten years old. #2 The replacement bike, from a Coast to Coast Hardware store called a Coast King - also one speed. I wore it out from miles and miles of hometown adventures which included riding the strip mine hills and trails on the outskirts of town. It wasn’t a bike for that type of riding, but I didn’t care. Bike #3, Centurion Super LeMans, twelve speed, I still have hanging in my garage. Very rideable still. It’s a combo racing and road bike that I outfitted to ride from CA to Illinois in 1982. And now my 2017 Rad Rover e-bike from Rad Power Bikes in Seattle. If you recall, I sent you a story several months ago of my latest short local tours in CA. Anyway, thanks for your “Leno Garage” tour. Time to go out for a spin right now.

You need to get the Trek 8000 out of retirement. It can be welded and fixed. My Fuji road back had a crack in the same spot. Found out right before riding in the Bike the Coast event in Oceanside this past Nov. Anyway, had to have my son take it to work and he and a buddy did a quick weld job. It's nothing fancy and still needs to be painted over, but it held up just fine. Look into it....it can be done. Heck, if you're in AZ, I'll hook you up with a weld to get it done. Always good to enjoy another video. By the way, did a 30 mile ride yesterday in 104F. ugh....

@jessebilla 3 года назад

@JAlexanderCurtis 3 года назад

With your Trek 800, I love the story behind the bike. Sad to see it break. But I wanted to let you know that Trek may very well replace that bike frame (if you wanted to). I realize that it might have more sentimental value as a house ornament now, but if you did want to get it replaced, Trek would replace it. They have lifetime warranties on their frame. I worked at a trek shop and we replaced bike frames that were FAR older than that, with FAR less damage then that before. They really do mean lifetime. But then again, you have nicer bikes already and you might not even be interested in replacing it anyway since the new frame would just be a random bike off the shop floor, instead of one that has the incredible story that that one has.

@johngrossbohlin7582 4 года назад

The New Belgium story is great! I've got a couple 3 speeds... 1963 Schwinn Racer and a 2018 Raleigh Tourist. The 3 speeds see the most use around town, on local rural roads, and on various rail and canal way trails. The trails include the one you and Ali road from Kingston to New Paltz as well as the Erie Canalway. I've got other bikes... dedicated touring and mountain bikes and I still ride my second mountain bike, a 1983 Trek 850 that I bought new. It was Trek's first mountain bike... or as they called it "rough terrain bicycle." The Trek 850 is the bike I did my first long tour on in 1986... over 3,100 miles. Both the bike and the notion of bicycling touring were rather novel back then compared to today! I've toyed with the notion of riding the East Coast Greenway from FL to NY on the Tourist... the coast is pretty flat and with the Empire State Trail I can avoid the mountains of PA (the way I went on my two previous FL to NY trips). It is a nostalgia thing as tales of early bicycle tourists often mention single speed and 3 speed bicycles! I keep thinking that we may bump into each other somewhere on bicycles someday... If its around here I know where the best burritos can be had!

Hi Ryan: Fantastic bikes! With 3 speeds only thru the USA - you must be crazy! :-) I'm having a TREK 6500 MTB. Rode it about 50'000 Miles. It's a good one. GIANT Cadex CFM 1 (one of the early Carbon frames) about 150'000 Miles, cannot be killed. But I really swear on CroMo steel bikes. My favourite: TREK 970. For me one of the best bikes ever built. An extremely good quality of frame. Also very good: GT Cirque, Trekking/Touring bike, 28" wheels, CrMo steel frame. I love bicycle brands with the big goal to build good or even the best bicycles on the planet. TREK, GT, SCOTT, GIANT (and others) are willing to do that. One can feel and see it. But, people, you only need 1 bike that fits you - and just gotta ride it!:-) That's it. The most important things are: Seating position, handlebars, also the grips, speeds and ratio, the brakes, the tires - and that the bike is not way too heavy. Cheap Shimano parts like Altus, Acera, Alivio, Claris.. are good enough for beginners and to try things out. Better a cheap front or rear derailleur than a bad quality of tires. Better good brakes and a cassette with only 6 or 7 speeds. Better the right speeds/ratio with cheap Shimano parts than an expensive groupset with the wrong speeds. Have good rides!

Ryan - great video and very inspirational. I'm sure the purpose of your volunteer work at PeaceCorps was to help the people of Honduras and make an impact on their lives, but in the end, I'm sure they made an impact on YOUR life. Keep pedaling my brother.
