I sometimes ride far, far away to exotic places, but I have tons of beauty right in my own backyard here in Boulder, Colorado. The fall foliage is going off right now, and I chose to ride the Boulder Weekend Loop to see the best of it. Lots of dirt, and lots of pretty leaves...and I saw a moose!

never forget the indian summers in good ole America ... btw I finally packed up my 50 year old restored Gazelle Holland bycicle and finished a 300 mile loop incl the full length of the north sea baltic sea canal in three days, doing some highly illegal wild camping along the way ... most fun I had outside for a long time... and I blame it all on you, Ryan ... your videos made me think hey you gotta bike and gear so lets get going... and I did .... thank you for the inspiration!!!

Dear Ryan, your videos are soothing for the soul and a great antidote to the craziness we see on a daily basis. Aside for ma passion of biking, the energy, kindness and positivity you exude on each and every vids you prepare for us has me hooked to your channel and keeps me coming back. It is like you as a person reconcile me with mankind but we need more "' Ryan Van Duzer"" in this world. Simple living, caring about your surroundings and the people around you are values that need to come back to to the mass. No more of this greed and ""me"" toxicity for all. Your work is much appreciated and kindness is contagious... We all need to spread it around... Best, your Canadian friend.

Ryan I started watching your videos for the first time about two years ago BC(before Covid 😀) I am from the small twin island of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. Your videos inspired me to start riding. Now I am riding 3-4 times commuting to work , and at least once a month doing trail biking. So thanking so much , your videos calmed my soul, at a time I really needed it and helped to get healthier. Take care of yourself and continue to live your life to the fullest, and we will watch what you share. You are one one of a kind ryan. See you out there!!

The scenery of nature is beautiful. I know we're beautiful, but... Surprisingly, there are no people in the beautiful place. People like beautiful places, but... People actually flock to places that are full of noise and dust and complexities rather than beautiful places.Haha Such a beautiful nature can be found anywhere in the east, west, north, and south. It's the most valuable and beautiful thing, but... It's so common So we humans live without knowing the value. Just as we always forget the importance of our precious family when we are next to each other.
