Been riding my bicycle almost daily since I was 16 and am now 48, lol, never owned a car either. Gotta do twenty yrs to catch up, 💯

I like short rides and long rides. It's nice to get out on the bike every day, which are the short rides. But it's also nice to do a really long ride and just completely disconnect from the world and focus on pedaling.

Congratulations on your engagement! I to cycle everyday instead of being the weekend mileage junkie of past

this is literally my issue every week, especially when i try to bike for a little bit every day i end up going farther because its so much fun

I do a ride every morning to the grocery store. I buy my groceries one back pack at a time. That is the impetus to purpose the daily rides. Not long but every day. I also gave up the car during covid and love it.

Aris-toe-tle ... that's a new one, lol

I ride fixed 6km everyday. I don't have a driving licence. Some roads are gravel dirt paths. I use studded tyres in winter. Most people just drive their cars.

I'm already pretty good with this but thanks to this video I'm motivated to ride to the hardware store today rather then drive.

💯 Consistency is way more important than anything. And congratulations to you both!

I commute every day on my bike.. i own a Zeta2 and Purefix.. riding since i was 9 yr old.. now i am 41.. 😊

I'm a lot older than you and everyone tells me I look young and happy. I alwasy say it's the bike-high. Thanks for spreading the word young brother and congrats!

Every single time i heard "ride my bike every single day" in this video part of me was low-key waiting for the reasonably dangerous bit while i knew damn well it wasn't coming 😂😂

Congrats Bro on the Engagement 😁 I’m trying to ride everyday but the weather bums me out sometimes, Especially this damn 30mph gusts and a constant 15mph headwind, And lower 40 upper 30’s morning commute, Feels like my knees are aging faster than ever. But yeah, glad I have a 6 miles commute everyday, now I just have to add more miles to try to get improvements. 😁

CONGRATS BRO!! Wishing yall the best!! So happy for you!!!

Out here with the casual marriage announcement no biggie. Also congrats. I just ride everywhere esp since I’m also a car less person so it’s how I get around besides going out for a ride for exercising.cycling helps me with my depression also so I get that.

Hey, Zach, I follow you on Strava and have often wondered why you post, or record, seemingly short rides. Well, now I know! Very good take on the benefits of trying to ride every day. Cheers!

What a great topic Zach, and I couldn't agree more. Get out there!

i'm probably riding less than 10 miles a day for my daily nonsense--but it makes the longer weekend rides feel so great! i get stuck in the same routine on the same roads, but then, wham! i can go on a nice, longer ride that i needed all of that silly, shorter conditioning for anyway.

6:30 I agree. I commute to work and whenever I chose to be lazy and take public transportation instead, I always regret it later on.

Super Congrats on your Engagement !!! Are you going to Chi-town ??? Another great point on cycling as many days per week as possible !!!

Congratulations Zack!🎉

Congratulations on the engagement. Will you two track stand while giving your vows?

Happy to hear you're engaged, congratulations to you both!

Dude congratulations on your engagement

I used to ride every day to work for a couple of years, even when I had my car. I've been feeling discouraged to continue commuting by bike recently since my current job is 14 miles out and soon 21 miles for my next job. I have to remember that the district I live in is actually bike accessible and I can reach most shopping and exploring within a 15 minute ride. Thank you for the video! I am going to try to ride more enjoyably instead of forcing myself to make long, grueling rides. I'm always inspired whenever I tune into you, Zach!

Congratulations man!

I don't own a car anymore and haven't for the last 10 years. I ride every day and honestly have no idea (nor care) how far I ride each week. I can do 100 miles in a day and I've done a few 400 mile multi day rides but the daily rides are what keeps my head clear.

The picture with you and your fiancé, but you’re doing the “mirror selfie” is hilarious to me.

Congratulations Zach !!!

Congratulations on you getting hitched bro. I am happy for the both of you and wish the best!

Congratulations on your engagement! Speaking of cycling, I used to be a weekend warrior (albeit I only went about 5-10 kms every ride 😂) and one day I felt like I needed more. And ever since I decided to use my bike more for my commute to the bicycle shop I work at, I've been feeling better! It's way shorter at 7 kms round trip but IDGAF!

Congratulations on your engagement!

I thought this was about the height of the rider lol. I’m pretty short and once at a bike shop the guy working there told me I had the perfect build for cycling. Anyway, yeah going for a daily short rides is great! I don’t commute by bike anymore but it was the best.

I grok this. My first fixed gear is a Wabi (built from parts and an early frame found online). Just recently put it all together. I know Richard S. from 1979 or so, and I believe he founded Wabi after his years of owning local shops in NC and then working with his family at Performance. These Wabi frames are sweet.

Congratulations zach 🎉 from 🇵🇭 ❤

Congrats on your engagement Zach

congrats bruh!

Congrats my brother!🎉. I bought first bike, and it's a fixie because of your cool video. Surprisingly my squats felt stronger and form is better after i started cycling everyday for a few months.

Congratulations Zach

Congratulations on getting engaged!

Ehhhhhh nice to hear, bruh :) congrats to you and your fiancee

Once that ring is on her finger you wont be allowed out to cycle😂

20 miles this morning as the sun came up? It works and I work better when I get to the office.

Congrats!

mans just dropped the fact that hes getting engaged 🤣

Good stuff

Can you give an interview of the tuzami Track bike

Nice thought :)

Been watching your videos since you were single ..congrats on the engagement Godbless

Massive congratulations to you and your Fiancee, Zach!

There are some physiological adaptations that require long rides. Not everything can be compensated for by frequency, so even if the total weekly volume is the same, the adaptations between the weekend warrior and the commuter will be slightly different. Does it matter, though? Probably not, unless you are racing (or doing ultra-endurance events). And even then, the weekend warrior is much more likely to skip a ride because life get's in the way, which will then leave him with longer pauses than necessary or desirable - and leving him in danger of giving up on riding entirely. The daily commuter is much more likely to be consistent in his exercise. And the daily commuter, too, can go on a long(ish) weekend ride, if he so wants... meaning he will likely get more total volume in average. And while this will not be the most efficient form of a training plan, and the daily commuter mght even lack behind a hypothetical someone following a more structures approach with the same total volume, he will still be far better off than anybody that only goes for the "worthwile" rides and then misses a couple of them. To quote a wise man: ride your bike, ride your bike, ride your bike.

I’m happy I live close enough to ride to work everyday pretty much

Congrats 💍 - yeah, bikes 🙌🏻

I usually do 13-15 miles a day, except in the winter.

40 miles a week? That's just the work commute...

Agree. Been riding at least 30 miles a day for the past 3 years and now I can’t go a day without riding

Congratulations

I also think riding every day is very fulfilling. I am riding my xc bike every day and built up my own fixed gear which i now want to ride more often. It feels really good to ride except for one thing: when i ride with no hands the bike tilts to the left like it wants to make a turn. Does anyone have an idea where that come from? I think my wheel is pretty straight in the dropouts.

track stand math, now we talkin

Congrats.

Bicycle guy meets a girl. Right-on Zach! Congrats!

Congrats. I just got my Mustang, I love it but I do miss my bike. Gonna try to get mt wife to ride with me. Wondering if your future wife rides too?

Steel to aluminium fork is there a confort difference?

I used to ride every day I bought it couple years ago just to escape from world and have a break after all the hassle and working all day We we're going through pregnancy So i was with my wife And soon going back to riding Can't wait

upload 2 of asking for fixie point video again

Ariestotlae? Hahahaha lab yu bro

As someone who rides their bike to work, thisnis the way. Weekends are meant for resting.

ℂ𝕆ℕ𝔾ℝ𝔸𝕋𝕌𝕃𝔸𝕋𝕀𝕆ℕ𝕊 Zach❕

Some of us don't have friends, let alone a financé Zach.

Bike to work gang let's go!

Having kids and an office job wrecked my daily riding.

I cycle a lot everyday hehehe

when you do not own a car you have no choice but to cycle everyday 2020 was the year cycling saved my life

What do you consider a short ride in terms of time? Half an hour?

Make a freestyle frame

Ur the goat

46/13 is good gear ratio?

Long rides are better because going further opens up more options on where you can go.

10 minute rides are for either kids or old people who can't make a mile to store or post office. Daily rides are important but they take more like 30-60 minutes in case of dedicates rides, but I just use bicycle as a transportation instead of bus or taxi. Weekend rides are more a way to separate from family, daily duties and be alone, or with riding buddies if you prefer riding in a group.

Daily short rides, long weekend ride

short rides on the weekdays and long on the weekend

Damn should start wearing a helmet shouldn’t i

😎❤️🇹🇼‼️

You have to get married, you can't spend the rest of your life being happy.

Did I get the first comment?

first

Short rides are better? That’s cuz you too weak to do long rides.

No rest days? Just conditioning and keep it moving? 🦵🦵🚀🚀
