I got one of their first few shipments of the original Classic. I'm going into my third year on it, I've NOT ridden it gingerly and only had to replace the tires. Ditched the Dutch bars for the commuters and put some old BMX pedals and grips on it. Love the bike, great company...when you email with a problem/question, Dave himself responds within minutes. It's creaking a bit so I'm gonna retire it next year and get another Priority. Either a Continuum or an Eight, hence, here I am watching this. It really has been exactly as advertised...zero maintenance cycling. Congratulations and enjoy it. Go Buffs.
Just came across your channel today, and I already love your enthusiasm, editing and all, great work! I lived in Boulder for a year, and it's where I started cycling on a daily basis. Thank you for your videos!
These bikes are absolutely beautiful! I had my eyes on Detroit Bikes for a long time, but when I started noticing Priority's from your videos, I was extremely intrigued, and was thinking, "Maybe I wanna get one of these?!" So I decided to get my Detroit, but now my sights are on a Priority. I'm SO interested in the penion gear box or the Priority 600 and 600x.. but really, all the bikes from this company look amazing, and Priority seems like a GREAT bike company.
Amazing... Solves most of bike problems I encounter 👍.... No greasies... No screechies... No clutteries... Way to go 👍. Would love to own this brand bike... I'm from India though...
I love when you talk about bikes like this! It also make me appreciate how lucky I am to be nurturing the little bmx kid inside of me. Killer hoodie man- Thanks buddy.
Ryan - I have some bad news and some good news. Bad news first. About a year and a half ago I (believe) - I purchased that exact Priority Continuum bicycle from a woman off of craigslist here in Denver. She bragged that it was your bike at one time. Since that day I've put that bicycle to good use on my daily commutes throughout metro Denver. Rain or shine she never let me down. Well - ok the Gates Carbon System and the N330 IGH let me down once or twice during extreme conditions, but that was one great bike. Yes, I said was one great bike because last week Dave and I had to lay her to rest following a freak accident that sent me over the handlebars and the bike - well, back to NYC - her place of birth. The Good News - Dave and Priority Bicycles are sending me a new Continuum Onyx as a replacement. I couldn't be happier with Dave and Priority Bicycles right now - New Bike Day New Bike Day!!
Was taking stories of camping gear down a single track in a state park (Newport State Park) that was rustic back packing camping only....my girl and I brought a three room tent to trails that were made for one man tent, for instance...oh...lawn chairs two coolers and firewood etc etc...so I used my Bob trailer to haul of this...three trips on a single track...medium tech...the Bob Trailer dropped its wheel and I did not notice it was gone for about a thousand feet...walked back to get it and tightened the skewer a bit...and away we went......traded that trailer complete with rust and corrosion ten years later for a model of the very first carbon fiber frame (Mossberg) that now sits in a bike museum in southern California.
I so want one of these bad boys JUST because of this video. Well Done!! Thanx for NOT editing out the fact that you didn't use their tools, you installed the forks backwards, & same with the bell. Go Team Human!! Pretty stoked for ya right now & really look forward to catching your up come Dave adventures. Keep On Keeping On Brother!! Cheers P.S. Hope you greased up the pedals before spinning them on
haha, you got me! I actually like the bell backwards, it fits my fat fingers better :) And the pedals came pre greased--just one of the many perks of the Priority bikes :)
Very cool, freedom machines is a great term..... made me think of my first bike that I got for Christmas when I was little which was a 2nd hand Raleigh bike in a cool silver colour and rainbow stripes.... then after a huge hiatus I got back into biking in about 2010.... now have a specialized Hardrock MTB & a fun bright blue Reid harrier (all blue.. even the wheels..) single speed for work! Never thought I'd own 2 bikes :P That gear shifter on your new bike is rad!
Rather than say bikes are the silver bullet, I would say alternative transportation infrastructure. Which, where I live, would mean sidewalks. Essentially, it means ways to get where you’re going that aren’t cars. It would also help to have more mixed use zoning which is illegal in most of the US and Canada.
you got a new sub. Love your vibe and the positive message your sending. riding a bike is awesome in so many ways , i mean honestly how long would it take explain all the great benefits of riding a bike. You have my respect for spreading the word about how awesome cycling is, you are doing great! Ride on!!!
I can't wait to hear how it works out in the future. Belt drive and infinity hub....cool stuff! I had an 8-speed internal hub bike. You could shift to any gear standing still. I miss that feature when I get stopped in a high gear.
Cool vid. My main commuter is a BMC Alpen Challenge Alfine 8. I bought it for a lot of the reasons you gave. Although, it's only a little less maintenance than my road bike and not bomb proof.
You just convinced me to get a bike from Priority. Also surprised you dont have more subscribers as your vids are pretty high quality! Also, cheers from Minneapolis! It does get a lot of snow, but still a joy to live here!
Dude, great video! Seriously... love to see how passionate you are about bikes, also very well edited! I've been riding to work for a few years but lately have realised how much I hate driving now... I actually had to drive to work the other day (after like 5 months) and it felt so wrong, was like what's with all this traffic and pushy cars from lanes everywhere, THEN I had to try find a parking spot - LOL. Why do people bother! I also built an electric skateboard which is fun, but if I used it+train to get to work I got NO exercise. So I stopped using it. Just ride. That's the shit. Very excited since I found priority a week ago, probably going to get a classic. Anyway, kudos and I've subscribed :)
Thanks buddy! You are right, JUST RIDE! I've never had a car in my life and I still love riding my bike like when I was a kid. Best of luck on your two wheeled journeys. And stay tuned for more adventures
Tires do not explode in airplanes. Cruise pressure differential is considerably less than 10 psi, which is obviously not a problem for a bike. The only problem that could occur is if an airplane is shipping 100s of full tires, there is a sudden decompression, and a source of ignition is present simultaneously. Pretty remote. However, pressurized air is considered Dangerous Goods, and is more costly and more complicated to ship.
Does this bike have the eyelet holes to add a front/rear rack to carry more gear? I love the idea of new belt drive.... I hate having to grease my chain and replace chains...I've had to replace 3 already this year! That's like $100 already!
I've ridden a belt drive before, but never seen a CVT in person. You mention in the comments that it's nice and smooth, but how's the gear range? Do you feel as though you could get in a gear low enough to climb a 1,000 foot, steep grade with 75 pounds of gear on the bike? Could you get into a high enough gear to get up to 35 mph on a flat stretch? Or does it top/bottom out in a pretty narrow range? Do you find yourself feeling like you're frequently stuck in a gear that's too high or too low and wish there was more gears to choose from? Thanks for all the helpful info!
A steep incline with 75 pounds of gear would be tough, but do-able, cranking at 35mph on a flat is almost impossible...the gearing is more set for city commuting...I talked to the owners of Priority and they say that you can get a bigger crank and longer belt drive if you want more speed. I don't feel stuck in high or low gears when riding around Boulder, the benefit of the CVT is that you're always right where you should be. Hope this helps
Awesome, sounds like it would cover >95% of my needs. Definitely comfortable giving up a bit of top end speed in exchange for simpler, maintenance free biking. Not looking to race on this setup anyways. Worst case I throw on a different crank. Thanks for the great insight!
Are there any parking signs or street lamp posts nearby? Locked my bike to parking signs for nearly 20 yrs. before I started using bike share & didn't have to worry about riding & locking my own bike.
I live in Portland, Oregon. A bike town. Unrelated to this video. I listened to a radio program on Oregon Public Broadcasting about the Dutch Reach. It's when you open the driver's door, instead of your left hand opening. The door and and getting out, The Dutch Reach. Is a right hand reach over open the door. Causing the upper body to. Turn your look to the side mirrors and be aware of cycling folk. Zipping by. I'm not sure but in the Netherlands it is part of driver's test. It's a good idea. What do you think? Sorry, my poor writing skills.
Hey man, if i were to buy this bike, and im living in Malaysia where i doubt there is much people who can maintain or repair the bicycle. Would you still recommend me buying it?
I'm curious to see the extent of your bike Collection, so far I've seen 5 different bikes. Your loved trek 8000, your new gift from trek, the two on the wall, and the latest edition Continuum.
haha, good eye! The ones hanging on the wall are totally destroyed from thousands of miles of use, one is the Trek 8000, the other is a New Belgium cruiser that I rode across the country in 2009. My current collection is: Trek 920 touring bike, Trek Fuel Mountain Bike, The Continuum, and a Surly fat Bike. Thanks for watching my vids and stay tuned for more
Ryan, if you don't mind my asking another question, I am curious about how comfortable the seat is. What has kept me from riding has been seat discomfort. I prefer a more relaxed riding position. The CONTINUUM has no suspension at all, and there are no springs on the seat either. Is it like sitting on a rock? (I think if they used the seat that's on their Priority Coast on the Continuum, that might make for a more comfortable ride.) Thanks.
The seat has been comfortable for me, but my arse is used to sitting on all different kinds of bike seats. It's definitely not like sitting on a rock, and after time, you get used to it and it's no longer a problem. Sometimes you can use padded bike shorts if it gets really uncomfortable.
i just recently subscribed to your channel . i think its pretty cool. great videos seem laid back cool dude. whats it like actually riding all around the world like that?
Hey, thanks daniel! Appreciate it. it's pretty special riding a bike all over the world, I personally think it's the best way to travel, cause you go slow and really get to know a place. Stay tuned for more!
I'm so sorry you lost Dave. I was burglarized in 1983 and lost my beautiful road bike, a Raleigh Professional and a track bike made in England by Rondinella. Orange and with beautifully fillet hand braised joints. I left town for the weekend to hit the Austin Rugby tournament and when I got home my girlfriend had gone, moved back to bumfuck Iowa and my apartment had been ransacked by whoever watched her pack up her car and pull out. Bikes, tools and girlfriend gone but I had a great time in Austin.
I'm a fan of how you edited this video! Just began riding a bike the other night after being challenged to get somewhere I'd normally get by car but not having access to a car. I decided to take extreme ownership of the situation and got there just fine on two wheels and even had fun doing it! Albeit I learned what you mean in this video by the need for fenders! Biking is growing on me. And I love and appreciate the inspiration of someone who exclusively gets around on bikes as you do. I'm extremely curious how you take girls on dates on a bike. That's an idea I had toyed with in my mind, how I wouldn't mind riding everywhere.... but then how do I take that special girl somewhere special on a bike? Can you share your secret bike date tips, Ryan? Honestly, between that and how to get around in inclimate weather these are my only two counterpoints to perma-bike-lifing it up! Much love to you, Ryan. -Zach
HI Zack! Thanks for your kind words, appreciate it! And psyched that you're falling in love with bikes!!! In Boulder, lots of girls ride bikes, so it's easy for a couple to ride together, I guess that's what I meant. On very few rowdy occasions I've thrown a lady on the handlebars :) Tandems work great too. You know you've found a great lady when she's cool with biking with you to a fancy restaurant! I have tons more bike content if you're looking for more inspiration. Happy Friday
Ryan Van Duzer Thank you, Ryan! I appreciate that. I've been to Boulder on a summer cross-country trip. Sounds like a dreamy place full of open minded, high spirited people... who like to get outside! Like I said I appreciate the inspiration. The fact that you choose not to own a car and get around by your own human power is just downright awesome. Inspired enough that I've been walking and biking to work exclusively for the last week and a half. I'm increasing my bike-ability! I'm taking your advice to heart, because you are living the lifestyle and doing it in a way that you've refined from years of experience. And these are values and a way of living that I can sincerely get behind. I sold my car not too long ago to go on some adventures and having come back... invested in a quality bike... and have been loving it since. I have been and will be watching all of your videos on the mentality, beauty and practice of riding a bike... and oh yeah, I'm totally snagging some fenders... learned my lesson this morning! Again, Keep it up Ryan. You've got me seeing the light of what's possible and I'm sure there will be many others. "I will persist until I succeed." Much love to you, man! -Zach
Hi Ryan. Just wondering if you like this bike better for commuting or would the trek check point that you have better a all around better bike? I hope all is well and thank you for making this wicked awesome video
Ryan Van Duzer Wicked awesome - it looks like a comfy well made bike and do you think the priority bike would be good for touring too? From California to Colorado I still hope to bike there with a good bike and come hangout with yall
My first bike. I was 4 or 5. My dad took the training wheels off and then I rode it head first into his Camaro. 2x. the first was an accident. the second I thought it was funny. He didn't find it funny at the time lol.
@@duzer ah crap .. i was looking into getting one i built a similar bike with nuvinci hub like it so much i was looking into that one for upgrade my setup uses chain not belt but still smooth and quiet
Donate a Secure bike rack! You can do it! Go around your neighborhood, text your friends. Get the word out on SM that you are raising money to install a steel in concrete, locking loop type rack for your school! The total cost should be under $200 and an enterprising, hustling kid can raise that in a few days! First meet with the proper schoold reps and get their blessing and a location they will let you install it and then just DO OT!
I got one of their first few shipments of the original Classic. I'm going into my third year on it, I've NOT ridden it gingerly and only had to replace the tires. Ditched the Dutch bars for the commuters and put some old BMX pedals and grips on it. Love the bike, great company...when you email with a problem/question, Dave himself responds within minutes.

Nice!! I'm loving mine so far, hope to ride it for many years to come. Glad you're loving yours!
Can I have your old creaky one? :)
How could I not subscribe to this channel? What a great, uplifting person you are!
Thanks my friend!! Hope you enjoy my content. Glad to have you as part of #TeamDuzer
Just came across your channel today, and I already love your enthusiasm, editing and all, great work! I lived in Boulder for a year, and it's where I started cycling on a daily basis. Thank you for your videos!
HI Victor! Thanks for watching, I have TONS of fun bike videos on my channel if you ever need some entertainment. Hope you're still biking everyday!

I just love bikes. Always have and always will!
I love when you talk about bikes like this! It also make me appreciate how lucky I am to be nurturing the little bmx kid inside of me.

Inner BMX kid must be fed! I haven't taken this hoodie off since you gave it to me :) Still smells great!

I can relate to this guy. About the part that "The best child childhood memory involves a bike" thing.

Ha, good eye, That was my 30th birthday present from a family friend. Boobs
DEMONETIZED
Bewbs rule!
Love the rig...super sharp and your enthusiasm is fantastic.
Can't wait to see where this bike gets you! I just got my first road bike 2 months ago and I am still on cloud 9 about it!
Nice, Road bikes are so fast, I bet you're loving it! Keep on loving it
Yeah I aspire to ride from florida to maine one day!
I am in Loas now and riding a cheap SS. Still an awesome experience just riding a bike
Totally! One speed or a thousand speeds, it's all good!
I like how your artwork and books compliment each other. Thanks for bring the love and making me miss the Boulder Bubble.
Thanks, it all just kinda comes together into one semi organized mess :) Cheers!
I can't wait to hear how it works out in the future. Belt drive and infinity hub....cool stuff! I had an 8-speed internal hub bike. You could shift to any gear standing still. I miss that feature when I get stopped in a high gear.
I love this bike!
Now you need to make another bike commuting video like your old grocery shopping one! I loved that video!
Sounds good, I'll work on that sometime. Thanks again for watching!
One of my best childhood memories was getting a Christian Hosoi skateboard
Cool vid. My main commuter is a BMC Alpen Challenge Alfine 8. I bought it for a lot of the reasons you gave. Although, it's only a little less maintenance than my road bike and not bomb proof.
BMC makes great bikes too!
I own the 3 speed black commuter, fantastic ride
Nice, I have the blue one, so nice
You just convinced me to get a bike from Priority. Also surprised you dont have more subscribers as your vids are pretty high quality!
Also, cheers from Minneapolis! It does get a lot of snow, but still a joy to live here!
Klazerftw they are a great company and I love their bikes!! I’m surprised too, tell all your friends to subscribe, ha!!
Yay Minneapolis!
Love this dude.
Thanks, dude!
I'm not replacing my 98 Kona. But I am gonna buy it some new tires for that mini new bike feeling😊

Tires do not explode in airplanes. Cruise pressure differential is considerably less than 10 psi, which is obviously not a problem for a bike. The only problem that could occur is if an airplane is shipping 100s of full tires, there is a sudden decompression, and a source of ignition is present simultaneously. Pretty remote. However, pressurized air is considered Dangerous Goods, and is more costly and more complicated to ship.
Cracking up🤣 I just purchased one bc of you
Hope you enjoy it!

It sure does, I actually just put on a rear rack. Priority sells them on their site
How well does this bike climb hills. I have slopes that are 8-10%
You’d be fine with this gear ratio for hills like that...but it does also depend on your fitness level
@@duzer Thanks for the info
yeah!!!!! go Ryan you rock!!!!!
Thanks!!! Bikes rule!
Ryan I love your passion for cycling!
Haha love your attitude! I'm pretty sure riding in the winter would surely be my demise!

Very cool, that chart spells it out well
My high school unfortunately doesn't have areas to hook up ur bikes. What should I do?
Really? That's a bummer. Maybe there's a fence nearby? Or a tree? Good luck and hope you figure this out.
Talk to the staff. They might let you store it indoors.
true!
Are there any parking signs or street lamp posts nearby? Locked my bike to parking signs for nearly 20 yrs. before I started using bike share & didn't have to worry about riding & locking my own bike.

Hi, how fast is the top overdrive setting on flat pavement?
All depends on how hard you pedal.
Yes
I know that feeling!!!
How much is the no maintenance affordable cvt bike ?
1k
Bikes are awesome!
Ryan if you had to decide between the Continuum or the 600, which would you choose?
600 all the way!
@@duzer Thank you! That’s what I was leaning towards. 600 is a done deal for me! 👍🏼
Hi Ryan
Which one you recommend this bike or the 600
Tx
The 600, by FAR!!!
How did you like the Nuvinci compared to the Pinion?
Jakob W it’s super smooth, you can actually charge gears while pedaling, you can’t do that with Pinion. Pinion gear range is much bigger though.
What size did you get? What is your height/ inseam and does it fit you? Thanks!
I got the Large, I'm 5'11
does your shifter do a wheelie!
haha, it sure does!
What happened to the trek fuel 9.8
I still have that, but only use it for mtn biking
Hey man, if i were to buy this bike, and im living in Malaysia where i doubt there is much people who can maintain or repair the bicycle. Would you still recommend me buying it?
Maybe not..
Yo Ryan! How many miles do you have on this bike now? How much maintenance to you think is needed for it? Thank you!
Is there any new video where you talk about this bike 🏍????
Dan The Dan I don’t, yet. But I’m still loving it!

Great video. It's been a month since you made the video. How do you like the bike?
I love it! Seriously, it's so smooth, a nice silent ride, solid handling, fenders keep the mud off my legs and back, and I really love the shifting.

The CONTINUUM has no suspension at all, and there are no springs on the seat either. Is it like sitting on a rock?

That's an idea I had toyed with in my mind, how I wouldn't mind riding everywhere.... but then how do I take that special girl somewhere special on a bike? Can you share your secret bike date tips, Ryan? Honestly, between that and how to get around in inclimate weather these are my only two counterpoints to perma-bike-lifing it up!
Much love to you, Ryan.

HI Zack! Thanks for your kind words, appreciate it! And psyched that you're falling in love with bikes!!! In Boulder, lots of girls ride bikes, so it's easy for a couple to ride together, I guess that's what I meant. On very few rowdy occasions I've thrown a lady on the handlebars :) Tandems work great too. You know you've found a great lady when she's cool with biking with you to a fancy restaurant! I have tons more bike content if you're looking for more inspiration. Happy Friday
Ryan Van Duzer Thank you, Ryan! I appreciate that. I've been to Boulder on a summer cross-country trip. Sounds like a dreamy place full of open minded, high spirited people... who like to get outside!
Like I said I appreciate the inspiration. The fact that you choose not to own a car and get around by your own human power is just downright awesome.
Inspired enough that I've been walking and biking to work exclusively for the last week and a half. I'm increasing my bike-ability!
I'm taking your advice to heart, because you are living the lifestyle and doing it in a way that you've refined from years of experience. And these are values and a way of living that I can sincerely get behind.
I sold my car not too long ago to go on some adventures and having come back... invested in a quality bike... and have been loving it since.
I have been and will be watching all of your videos on the mentality, beauty and practice of riding a bike... and oh yeah, I'm totally snagging some fenders... learned my lesson this morning!
Again, Keep it up Ryan. You've got me seeing the light of what's possible and I'm sure there will be many others.
"I will persist until I succeed."
Much love to you, man!

HI Zach! Sounds like you're well on your way to the best life ever! Psyched to hear how your story progresses, and have fun on your adventures!
Once you’re done with that nice bike I’ll buy it off you !!!
As an owner of a commuter bike from Diamond I think Priority bike lacks a dynamo hub and an integrated light to be a true commuter bike.
Ikea furniture had a bike something like that. Didn't last. Love your videos
Ryan- That's a cool hoodie? what brand is it? Thanks
Curious ... keen to get a six month report!
I'll be in touch with what I think about it down the road, It'll be a little dirtier, but guessing that it'll be solid as a rock!
deym. okay, im subscribing. only because he's passionate about bikes too. that story tho.
Thanks Jogie! I really appreciate it! You can look over my channel for all sorts of bike videos and stay tuned for more!
Hi Ryan.
Just wondering if you like this bike better for commuting or would the trek check point that you have better a all around better bike? I hope all is well and thank you for making this wicked awesome video
Jesse Helsdon this is a better commuting bike. Half the price of Checkpoint, comes with fenders, lights...belt drive. Low maintenance is what you want
Ryan Van Duzer
Wicked awesome - it looks like a comfy well made bike and do you think the priority bike would be good for touring too? From California to Colorado I still hope to bike there with a good bike and come hangout with yall
yeah, you could totally go touring on the Continuum, it's not as fast as a touring bike, but it's pretty close
Ryan Van Duzer
Perfect and half the price. Have you ever riden on a tiring recumbent style trike...?
My first bike. I was 4 or 5. My dad took the training wheels off and then I rode it head first into his Camaro. 2x. the first was an accident. the second I thought it was funny. He didn't find it funny at the time lol.
Open the damn box Ryan!
haha, ok ok ok!!! :)
Do you still ride this bike much ?
Unfortunately it got stolen :(
@@duzer ah crap .. i was looking into getting one i built a similar bike with nuvinci hub like it so much i was looking into that one for upgrade my setup uses chain not belt but still smooth and quiet
@@duzer dropped you Gmail
For me it's very sad. I really can't ride to work anymore.
I'm retired. ;)
So you rode Dave that day ;)
just kidding mate. I like your energey. Watching from India.
;)
Oh maaaaan, she's a beaut 😍
Thanks! but I named it 'Dave' so it's a male :)
hahaha oops :P
Donate a Secure bike rack! You can do it! Go around your neighborhood, text your friends. Get the word out on SM that you are raising money to install a steel in concrete, locking loop type rack for your school! The total cost should be under $200 and an enterprising, hustling kid can raise that in a few days! First meet with the proper schoold reps and get their blessing and a location they will let you install it and then just DO OT!
I like getting a new bike then i often resell it lol at a loss...that looks like a heavy steel bike? Not a beauty, interesting gears etc
I bought my first bike after saving money for months a it was stolen from my back yard
I'm sorry, I know your pain. I've had many bikes get stolen in my lifetime. Hope you get another one and get back to the joys of cycling!
vinny Liotta I'm so sorry that this happened to you. Obviously, someone needed drug money, very sad.
Ryan Van Duzer I bought a shed and built it and fixed up my dad's bike and rode that for a bit then bought a trek after your videos
David Branscome probably
That's so cool! I hope you're loving it. Thanks for watching my videos and hope your 2017 is treating you well
Look at that spoke setup. This is bike porn.
I say to my dad take off the training wheels and I kept falling and I learn how to ride so long
@3:49 it’s a guy bike, it has balls bearings.
"Automatic?"
"It finds the right spot for you?"
Neither of those is correct... 🤔
I hope its girl scout cookies
me too
#bikelove
too bad this bike got stolen less than a year later...broke my heart... be safe out there
the celebrity virus is strong with this one.
😂😂😂👍🏽
The Trek is better
