I love having my Sunday morning coffee with you two folks. A lot of my subscriptions have to do with heavy political issues. But you two are like a fresh breeze. It's a nice change of pace. REALLY appreciate hanging out (albeit virtually) with Thuong and you, dude. Cheers.

Thanks for these English-language videos! I'm a foreigner living in Japan but I just started learning Japanese, so finding English-language videos about life in Japan from non-foreigners is kindof tricky. I appreciate the insights of people who have actually lived in Japan long term.

My brother has a 2-wheel "long john" cargo bike with an alloy frame, electric assist, an internal gearbox, hydraulic disc brakes, and Gates belt drive. Before the electric cargo bike he had a regular hybrid, which he had to attend to daily and forced him back into his car regularly. E-bikes really do enable more than just ease of peddling, they can make a non-cyclist cycle, which is good for everyone. By the way, "pottering", is British English for just going out and about, either aimlessly or with a leisurely task. One of my favourite words, it's pronounced "pot-er-ing".

I find Japanese bikes to be much better, practical, and safe. Well built and smart. Thank you for sharing.

Funny to see Yamaha and Panasonic bikes. Love it when you do these window shopping kind of vids

Thoung: Let's go!! Cruz: and I took that personally, so now we're moving out of Japan.

Both kinds of seats are very common in the Netherlands. I'm not a parent, but it looks pretty safe. Never seen any crashes like that, after all, these are commuter bikes. I really like it when I see the parent and kid having a nice conversation of all the stuff they are passing by while they are on the bike. Seems so intimate and great parent-kid bonding time. I wish I had this in my childhood (not from here)

Love your vids. I fell off my bike on Friday and my knee looks like a grapefruit, so I'm living vicariously through your shiminami kaido ride

Thanks for the videos. I love Japan but can’t visit any time soon so I appreciate the videos.

Always enjoy your bike shop tours. Love to see more before you leave Japan.

Soooooooo many bicycle varieties. And these were only a subcategory of bicycle. You two have expanded my knowledge of bicycles. John

That Panasonic e-bike is bizarre (yet cool). It has a child seat and a front rack, but also has BMX bars and dirt tyres. The bars are Subrosa which is one of the top BMX brands. I think pottering around is to do something in a relaxed way. It’s quite old school British English though. Not commonly used these days.

Very great sir, in your country electric bicycle electric bike is very great and beautiful and you have all kinds of electric bicycle

I like one of those Specialized e bikes

I never knew Panasonic sold electric bikes. Would be great if some of those Japanese manufacturers would experiment with selling those abroad. The cruise bike - LOL. Brilliant.

Pottering is British, "pottering about the house" for "moving around in a usual semi busy manner".

Hey Man, pottering is an English word, it just means doing a bit of this and a bit of that, mostly slowly with no stress and mostly no direction. Its usually used when you are doing something in the garden or house.

Nice to see more bike and how to be safe to cycle in Japan as foriegner

Thank you for sharing

My favourite series bike shop tour is back, thank you~~ Stay healthy and keep up the good work!

Notif squad!!!

Awesome bro, thanks Keep on 💖🌺☺️

@Two Wheel Cruise (In reference to the bike that was outside the store) Maybe they are "E-Mamachari" bikes 😂

very cool, thanks for sharing …!

As I have said before, The Japanese are really lucky to live in an environment where cycling around is so easy and enjoyed by so many at very little danger. Bangkok is just too hot and too dangerous and London for me is too hilly and too dangerous. Japan, at least the cities, seem to be very flat and safe. Thanks for another great video!

Gsx Fox has a Panasonic ebike. Love his vids. Yours too ;)

Wow a new name is born Moto Velo!!!

That BESv model looks cool.

Thuong chan always cheerful. Hope my future wife also like her.

10:03 What are you doing, Stepcruz? 😂

how i wish i have one someday.

You both make excellent videos. Thank you.

Really appreciate the bike shop tours you do, they help those of us who aren't able to get out there right now get an idea of what's available and other situations to keep an eye open for once we are able to. Personally, the name Specialized always weirds me out because in the USA that's what many services refer to disabled persons as, bus passes for those with special needs are labeled ''Specialized'', for example. I know, it's a trivial thing that only a 14 year old brain would worry about but, hey, I'm a lifeless nobody that doesn't deserve to even exist. Sue me.

I bought an 8d townie go electra bicycle from Motovelo daikanyama in Tokyo last year. Motovelo has hard to find ebikes that are of foreign design that somehow got past the Japan ebike regulations and are able to be legally sold here in Japan. The Townie go is a cruiser style bicycle and is actually comfortable, unlike 99.9% of bicycles sold in Japan. I further modified it with a harley davidson style monkey handlebar, spongy wonder seat and a redshock suspension seat post and veltop for extra comfort. I can cruise around the city in comfort without the parking restrictions of a motorcycle, and its more fun and more comfortable to ride than a motorcycle too.

I love the plethora of 20 inch wheel bikes you can find in Asia

Are bike prices back to normal again or still expensive? And no shortage anymore? Great job! Keep up the bike vids. That niche alone is great as content.

Basically the old mamacharis from Japan get shipped out here to the Philippines so we have these as well! But yeah some newer e-bikes from China are also available here already (brand new) and within that price range of e-bikes as well. But no more child racks.

top demais as bikes tem o preco da specialized red?

Is someone hinting they want a kid?

i'm from germany and i have never seen these handlebar babyseats before and i agree they look kinda dangerous. e-bikes are very popular over here though due to some tax incentives and great leasing options. i think half the bikes i see on the roads these days are pedelecs. i bought a eMTB 2 years ago an i ride it so much that i have sold my car since i no longer needed it.

Harry Quinn. There’s a brand called United and also Alps that uses that slightly different brompton style where the front wheel is off the ground.

The Besv bikes intrigue me, especially some of the unique style ones. Are you looking at Mamachari’s for any reason? 😉🤣 only joking.

How are you guys doing with offline storage for your videos? The cost of external hard drives has gone up by about 50% here in the U.S. Personally, I’m waiting for Black Friday as the prices seem to be on a downward trend (finally). Most of my videos are for show and tell so I can crunch them by 50% using Handbrake with minimal loss in quality.

Hi guys, first time to comment. Have you figured out where your next country is? I've heard that for Panama, visa-free stay will only be 90 days starting Oct 1. In Asia, only Bali/ Indonesia & Thailand are open for tourists. For Bali, you can get a business visa for 6 months (but it's quite pricey). I think Malaysia & SG allow certain countries but don't know if Japan is included in their lists. Taiwan is also possible, if you can get a teaching job there. You can also teach English online from TH or Bali. I also think Thuong will have less culture shock if in Asia (aside from language differences). Check out Ralph Clesca's vlog - they transferred to Bali from VN. Btw, Thuong looks great in a dress. Good luck in all your future ventures! 😊👍🏼🇵🇭

I have seen a picture of myself in the front child seat. But I have no memory of being in a child seat.

Nice

Woah there is even a Panasonic ebike, really don't get to see this much variety of ebike in Singapore bike shop. But would go for that Merida ebike.

As always, great tour and commentary. Interesting variety of ebikes. Have you seen the newish Vanmoof ebike? Some are calling it the “Tesla” ebike. I would definitely be interested in your perspective. Be well !! Blessings! 🚴🏽‍♂️🚴🏽‍♂️🚴🏽‍♂️

More bike shop videos please

BESV he's a newer ebike brand out of Taiwan that's been around since 2013 but I've seen them popping up more and more since 2018. I've seen their "Lena CF1" model in the wild once or twice. They're still pretty scarce though. At least in around where I live in New Taipei City. They're probably around in abundance across the bridge in Taipei which is where I seen one before. They are still quite expensive for most e-bike shoppers here since most of them are older people or Southeast Asians for the majority. Many e-bikes that are more like e-scooters here are popular and go for less and have more range. But I can see the appeal to the 20-40 crowd who want something that stands out and really care to invest in a quality/stylish bicycle. I personally think it's got its market figured out and does well. Their fresh designs and increasingly better prices with the new Voltani model shows promise.

Im from sri lanka this days we are running out of fual this is good solution because im walking for work more than 8 km one trip .how much is this one or used one

Definitely would like to see a Cruise (bike) review XD

Please show us the Trek store.

Is the net on the basket so the baby can't get away?

One thing I'm realizing has been consistent through these shop tours is a lack of cargo bikes, like the Yuba, Urban Arrow, Ferla, etc. It's kind of curious how Japan as so many shopping, family, utility-comfort Mama-Charis, but hasn't embraced the Bakfiets. Arguably slapping a big bucket on the front of a tricycle would serve the multi-purpose use of grocery runs and hauling young kids around better. Is it about the space concern? Maybe Japanese city-dwellers not want to inconvenience anyone around them with a big cargo bike?

Why do you never see recumbent bikes or trikes in Japan?

Whats the Yamaha mountain bike at 11:44 ? look interesting.

super

Any brompton electric? Cost?

I am interested in Japan How can you help me move to Japan I am in need of unskilled job Thank you

Hello, have you guys ever heard of SE Racing? It’s a popular BMX brand in the US and I see that some teens in Japan are using them. I was wondering if you know anything about them and if so maybe you could shed some light on it. I’d really appreciate it

Pls someone can contact me to guide about bicycle in Japan. I like to buy bicycles. Thank you

Pottering is a generic English Word.

The biking community of the human shields. I agree, would not strap a kid to the front.

Nice
