Suresh Chinnappa s, she should has married a rich East Asian man. She would has get it right away. Just like you said, life is too short. Too bad when you are poor. But hey , that bike can't be too much
Ha! I visited that store a few times while living in TW last year during quarantine....I bought a folding bike for my daughter and I test rode a Rocker e-bike fat bike around Da'an park, the one you highlighted about the display...It is fun to ride! I imported that bike into the US....The owner is an older lady and the daughter is nicer regarding customer service...Surreal to see this back in Cali. Thanks for the vid.
You have quite a big bike collection. You will have to think about selling a bike or two to fund Thuong's new Giant bike? I hope she can get the bike she likes in the future! That's a hard sad face to say, 'no' to. Thanks for the video!
That's one thing I love about Giant. It has its own shops where they can sell directly to customers. Of course I ride something else, but it's nice to see we have the option.
@@TwoWheelCruise I myself probably would ride a Giant myself, but my coach seems to hate them for some reason... Whatever, a bunch of other kids in the Juniors division ride TCR's.
Great vid Cruise. The key for the e-bike is used to open the battery slot to charge and to lock it once you want to ride. It also releases it from the frame of the bike if you want to charge the battery off the bike. I was planning on getting one but I ended up getting a folding one single speed without the battery.
Amazing how most don't know that the big name brands are made in Taiwan, I would be like a kid in a candy store there, and REALLY end up getting a good bike! Hope for tons of happiness for you both!!!
I don't choose the ads, but I’m pretty sure YT doesn't do 4 minute non-skippable ads. That seems like a bit much, but here's a post I found about it.. www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/7w0g7w/4_minute_unskippable_ad/
your wife like that bike so much did she always like and enjoy bikes and riding or only after she meet you she is very fit riding mountains in Taiwan would be very hard thank you for your videos
I've only been to the store by Nanjing Fuxing station, (which is a bit bigger), but this seems like a neat one to visit too. Would be nice to see more store tours like this.
Yes indeed. Still running on my original 2008 GIANT MTB fully refurbed and it is still going strong. I recommend KENDA hybrid kevlar tires for an ultra smooth ride. Regrease both axels with Bel Ray Waterproof Marine Grease for an extra smooth glide.
The key is that you can lock the battery. It has nothing to do with starting the bike. And all to do with being able to park up your bike and not having to take the battery with you. It also has a second mode, quick-release function, not requiring the key. Which allows you to easily swap out the battery for another one, if you're doing an event.
Hi, I am really enjoying your videos. I am a road biker from Northern California. I travel to Asian for business occasionally and your topics are great. You guys look like you are having a blast! I would like to see you guys cover the Shiminami Kiado ...Onomichi to Imbari. You could divert and climb some of the peaks on the islands? I would love to ride there someday. Keep up your great work! and thank you!
I think it’s cool that she likes the Giant. I’ve always thought they should just use the Giant brand for men and women’s bikes. But they must have data that suggests Liv is worth sticking with. They should at least do a special edition Sunweb colour scheme liv bike.
I notice that Thuong has the classic cyclists tan line on her legs! That's how you can tell when you're becoming a hardcore rider LOL I can't help but get excited when you go into a bike store. All of those bikes, bike parts, and other goodies! I get even more excited than when you're ordering food! My best friend always teases me about looking at 'bike porn'! hahaha Cheers!
She hates the lines, but I love them 😂 This videos are fun to make too since I like checking out new bike shops as well. And the food videos are the best to make :) Will have to make more haha
Really cool video. Thanks mate. I wanted to buy a bike from Taiwan but info is quite lacking. Does Taiwan giant or Merida or some Taiwan brand not have a bicycle that is in the range of 1k? The bike ur wife likes is really cool and beautiful, but 3k is a little too steep for me too.
Hey Cruise do you like steel and ti bikes? I used to own a lot of carbon bikes but I've sold off all of them since this summer keeping my steel Colnago as my only bike. I find Carbon too fragile and fail too easily, but I don't race so a steel bike is more enough for me.
Spent way too much money on our Vietnam / Taiwan trips recently, gotta chill on the spending for a little bit.. Current buying list: portable audio recorder, new computer, Thuong's new bike 😂
I understand. However, I have never seen Thuong so excited about anything bicycle related. What can we do to raise the money needed? I do not have much to contribute because I am in the middle of a bike build but I would contribute $100.00 US if we can find the remaining amount needed.
New subscriber here! Love your videos!! I’m koreaean Taiwanese American working in korea now. Just started biking and I bought a road bike from bianchi. It’s been 2 months and I think it’s not for me. Trying to jump to a MTB. Wanted to know what MTB bike I should get. I was looking at a Bianchi duel 27.5. Any suggestions?
plenty of jobs here in Japan, and no, we don't get paid for any of these shop videos. We just do them when we have time since they're fun for us to do and lots of people seem to like them.
Well they are fantastic ,the shops should give you the bags as presents for all the exposure you are giving them.love your videos as a ex RR my self ,keep safe PD.
Two Wheel Cruise Sprry, actually I am not sure....I just thought of that many merchandises for foreigners can been refund at the airport customers...maybe you can check first for the next time...
I like the way your wife react to things and money , don't loose that girl.
I wish Thuong got that bike. Come on Cruise, life is too short man; get your wife a new bike.😊 She deserves it!!!!
Thanks man! I love your saying " life is too short man, get your wife a new bike" 😘🤗
I'm waitting...( But we're very poor, maybe 2-3 more years )
Things are tight right now, but maybe after I find my next job!
Cuộc Sống Tại Nhật Bản Thank you for responding Thuong. Have a great weekend.
Suresh Chinnappa s, she should has married a rich East Asian man. She would has get it right away. Just like you said, life is too short. Too bad when you are poor. But hey , that bike can't be too much
dont forget to upload when thuong got her dream bike.
We all love bike shop tour like this XD. Great job Thanks for sharing.
Unfortunately only time for 1 on our Taiwan trip, but hopefully will do more in Japan from now on..
Congrats on hitting 8k+ subscribers & thanks for your support of Taiwan company.
Thanks! 😀

Yeah, we will likely do some bike shuffling early next year depending on my work situation.. hopefully get her on something nicer!
Giant bike store..Taiwan..wow.. Thanks dude
😀

Yeah, I've always liked Giant. My first bike was a Giant, though sadly I do not own any right now, but Thuong's road bike is an old Giant.
@@TwoWheelCruise I myself probably would ride a Giant myself, but my coach seems to hate them for some reason... Whatever, a bunch of other kids in the Juniors division ride TCR's.
They make solid bikes and actually make most of the bikes around the world for lots of different companies

Thanks for sharing... I love bike
Thanks! Me too!
10:19 was hilarious. I hope your wife gets her dream bike soon. She deserves one if your channel hits 100,000 subscribers.
I'll buy her any bike she wants if we get that many subs 😂
Happy wife, happy life.
You know the drill ～
:)
Amazing how most don't know that the big name brands are made in Taiwan, I would be like a kid in a candy store there, and REALLY end up getting a good bike! Hope for tons of happiness for you both!!!
Thanks! Yeah, there's a lot of people who aren't aware of Taiwan's position in the bike building industry..
OMG now I found it!!! the frame I've been looking for hahaa
that is my go-to my bike shop when I.need to.buy.parts or accessories or.get something fixed. nice.family business.
Awesome 👍📸🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️📸🙏

She is very fit, but doesn't like cycling in the mountains unfortunately. Cycling in Taiwan was very hard for her, but I hope she enjoyed it 😅

Good to know, thanks for the info! So as long as the battery is in place, it can be used?
@@TwoWheelCruise yes
Next time cycle tour Tainan - Kaoshiung - Kenting . But Kenting is it's own weekend cycling trip
Yes!!! 😍😍😍
Hello namaste i am curious as i am not from here do u mind to share how expensive are mountain bike in taiwan compare to other region
Hi Thuong, you have good eyes prefer Dumoulin over Kruijswijk and welcome to the N+1 world
She's actually pretty tall and can probably get away with an S. I'm happy to hear she prefers the regular bikes as well..
nice video!! Cruise get her a new bike, she deserve it.
After I find a job for next year! ;)
The folding bikes you saw are all from Giant's series.
Good to know, thanks!
Excellent job for sharing the shop name and address...
TAIWAN NO.1
Agreed!
Hi, I am really enjoying your videos.
I am a road biker from Northern California.
I travel to Asian for business occasionally and
your topics are great. You guys look like you are having
a blast! I would like to see you guys cover the
Shiminami Kiado ...Onomichi to Imbari. You could
divert and climb some of the peaks on the islands?
I would love to ride there someday. Keep up your
great work! and thank you!
Thanks! Been wanting to do shimanami for a long time! Hopefully this fall..
Is it free to travel anywhere via plane with 1mountain bike or they charge tax?
I think it’s cool that she likes the Giant. I’ve always thought they should just use the Giant brand for men and women’s bikes. But they must have data that suggests Liv is worth sticking with. They should at least do a special edition Sunweb colour scheme liv bike.
I agree for racers, but think the liv brand has power with more casual riders
U should come to Ipoh to buy and cycle there is a lot of place to ride and it!!
One day :)
Roadbike bikes in japan or taiwan more cheaper??
Don't think the price changes much
Dude you're so lucky! Thuong is so cute and funny lol. Btw at this rate you may hit the 10k by the end of the year, hope you guys make it! :D
Thanks! She's pretty fun to be around 😁
Crossing my fingers!

Nice! I've been curious a bot giant bikes but it seems that they don't have many "cheap" gravel bikes.
She really likes RED for her bike
She loves red :)
Patreon for Thuong's new bike!
The growing support there is definitely helping! :)
already 12k subs
the key is for taking off the battery
Thanks!

It's all on their Taiwanese website.. The fastroad bikes we were using are pretty cheap www.giantcyclingworld.com/bike.php?id=20121553
Cruise, I'm currently using the Topeak mid-loader as describe in your vlog. It's great for bike-packing tour. Highly recommended.
Awesome! It looked like a pretty solid bag!
@@TwoWheelCruise Indeed it is.
良いんじゃなぁい👍
がんばって貯金します！ :)
i dropped my cateye headlight a couple of times, dismantled on the road and i put it back together and it worked fine
Why do you keep dropping your lights? 😂
i guess i didn't set it properly in it's housing and when i hit a big bump on the road it just came off
I did this search to find out the price of bike in the country where most bikes are made. $3,000 for a Giant rad bike is about the same as the US.
Thuong face sad 😍
Haha I'm not the only one with a happy face when she has a sad face 😂
Since most of the big brands do their manufacturing in Taiwan, any local discounts?
It does seem to be a bit cheaper, but not that much for the bikes. The equipment is much cheaper though I noticed..
You should have sang that song by Simply Red.. Money too tight to Mention. Lol
Hey Cruise do you like steel and ti bikes? I used to own a lot of carbon bikes but I've sold off all of them since this summer keeping my steel Colnago as my only bike. I find Carbon too fragile and fail too easily, but I don't race so a steel bike is more enough for me.
Yes, I love steel bikes! I usually use them for my commuter / city bike, and my current Schwinn Madison fixie is steel :)
I feel her pain hahaha. But I wonder what would be her reaction if she happens to see the Maglia Rosa version of that Team Sunweb TCR.
That is a hot bike, but crazy expensive!!
3:35 same bike as my wife's a 2018 Liv Envie Tri
Awesome!
"But I'm broke". Story of our lives, eh.
Been an expensive, but good year :)
Are giant bikes cheaper than in western countries?
Seems that way
complete address the giant store
What's Thuong's Bianchi's groupset? Those Giants with the Ultegra groupset is sexy.
She doesn't have bianchi.. a really old giant tcr with old shimano
You should totally buy Thuong the bike. Just saying.
Spent way too much money on our Vietnam / Taiwan trips recently, gotta chill on the spending for a little bit..
Current buying list: portable audio recorder, new computer, Thuong's new bike 😂

The key is to remove the battery on ebike. 🙂
I feel with her. I was in a giant store this year but don't want to buy a bike. I couldn't resist one and bought it however
Lol! 😂
0:06 今貧乏！ Me too buddy! Me too!!
will it be cheaper than us or uk bike shops ?
Doesn't change much I think..
The key is to lock and unlock the battery of the bike .
Thanks!
they have a bmx bike ?
i gave my wife my old cannondale habit 6 ..it was an excuse to buy my giant fathom...she was only upset for a little bit
LOL unfortunately my bikes are a little too big for Thuong
Tbh bikes like that is cheaper in the philippines and its original
Too bad I wanted to see the price of big brand names.
She likes the color of that giant? But its just black
And red 😉
And not Bianchi blue ;)
I have a deal with someone tommorow so im getting a new carbon race bike with a bike computer airless tires and endless upgrades for 3200 so excited🤣
Enjoy the upgrades :)
Thanks bro
Do they still have Giant Alpecin helmets? I broke mine
not sure..
Haha key for batry to take off batry and charge with out bike
Thanks!
@@TwoWheelCruise wellcome

My diet is usually pretty bad, but lots of eggs, natto, and apples Haha

U should get an email bike used btw
Maybe?
A what?
Is it just me or does he look like Midousuji from Yowamushi pedal 😂😂😂😂
Haha best one yet 🤣
Start lol
Are there no jobs for you in Japan ?.do you get paid for talking up all these bike shops i hope so,
plenty of jobs here in Japan, and no, we don't get paid for any of these shop videos. We just do them when we have time since they're fun for us to do and lots of people seem to like them.

Sometimes we get business cards lol 😂
And thanks 😀
What?! Cycling shorts with butt padding?!
Fancy way of saying shammy
@@TwoWheelCruise i need that badly.. butt pain still exist..
Most cycling shorts have some sort of padding ;)
@@TwoWheelCruise im sorry didnt know that.. im still learning and mostly i learned things from your channel..
Try to ask for the special discount with store...and maybe you can apply tax refund ^^
Are bikes tax deductible or something??
Two Wheel Cruise Sprry, actually I am not sure....I just thought of that many merchandises for foreigners can been refund at the airport customers...maybe you can check first for the next time...
Ahhhh, like duty free purchasing! That would be nice!
Why does she have an expectation that you would buy a bike for her?
