- An amazing day of riding around the New Forest in England with Tom of the Woods Cyclery and Ashley of Rune Bicycles.
The Woods Cyclery is a dream bike shop with some incredible bikes, a cafe, bike rentals, weekly shop rides and super nice staff:

Rune Bicycles is a new bike company from England with their first wonderful bike, Rufus Stone. A lugged steel beauty with a quill stem, disc brakes and 650b wheels. A dream to ride:

I'm very lucky to live just over 10miles from the Woods Cyclery and visit every week for coffee, yummy buns and to empty my bank account buying something each time I visit 😂
Tom, the owner is a top guy and knows his stuff inisde out. Everyone there is very welcoming and Austin, Tom's dog as featured in the video is the best ❤
You’re lucky to live so close!
@@probablyriding I hope to see you on a Sunday ride whilst you're here, I'd love to meet you :)
I always get “bike face smile” when I watch your videos.
Nice! Thank you!
One of best bike channels on the net!
There is nothing better than a pure blissful bike ride through a amazing country side.
Since I have been riding again I experienced all sorts of beautiful moments. The other day I happened upon a Blad Eagle with a vulture in its clutches. I slammed on brakes and was 5 feet away from it. I was in amazment since I had never seen one in wild.
Thank you as always for sharing!
Wow. I’d don’t know you could get that close. Thanks for the tip!
@@probablyriding I was surprised as well. I believe it's back to me and eating it was unaware. Once it saw me it was gone in a flash. I wish I had a camera but sadly I did not.
Only live a couple of miles from here and have to say it really is a great place to stop for a coffee and cake. The crew are super friendly and a big shout out to Seb for his patience with my endless questions after buying my first bike at 62 last November….now just super addicted. Praise well deserved Woods Cyclery 👍
A great shop. You’re lucky to have it nearby!
"The best bike shops aren't just bike shops, they are a community" 💯💚 couldn't have said it better myself.
Adventure gravel cycling is definitely my vibe. The Woods Cyclery looks like a great bike shop!
Come ride in Cape Town 🇿🇦🚲 we'll be happy to have you and show you around 😊
Would love to one day!
As a Brother " Big Bro" owner I really appreciate the shop you found. Great video as always, lovely ride through wonderful country.
Nice. The Mr Wooden looks really nice too.
@@probablyridingyep, I love my Mr Wooden.
Glorious, I mean, the landscape, weather, bike and coffee shop, and the roaming livestock.
Such a magical place.
I'm inspired - again! 😍 Thanks to you I've started being less picky about the weather, rain can be fun as well! And now I'm also inspired to have a bike for such nice, rainy wood rides :)
I'm so glad!
Those trails look amazing! Thanks for taking us along!
So good!
From the Philippines here! :) Love your videos, calming in a way. More power!
Awesome! Thank you!
I know everyone must say this, but here's my entry. If you ever make it to the northeastern U.S., consider this your invitation to go out on a ride in Vermont. It's some of my country's very best dirt road riding. It's the least I can do to pay you back for all the wonderful content.
That's very kind of you, thank you! Would love to ride in the US sometime. Most of my subs seem to be from the USA so it would need to be a big trip visiting all over!
Little ‘Rooster tail’ never hurt anybody ha. Thanks for taking us along love me some Brother cycles and that shop looks like a dream
Any time!
I am really a proponent of local riding but the New Forest is on my short bucket list of destination rides. Fortunately,
we get to England now and then (and my wife loves the NF) so it could happen. Thanks also for featuring the Woods Cyclery. I have known about them for a while but your video reinforced my respect for this shop. I’m a Riv rider and finding a satisfying rental while on a trip is challenging. I once spent a glorious half day cycling on the Isle of Man that was marred by an uncomfortable hybrid style bike. Love your channel! Thanks for sharing your travels as well as your home riding.
Definitely worth a visit.
Hello from Alabama, USA. I found you via recommendation while watching another TH-camr, and I have to say that I really enjoy your content. I find it best to watch a video or two of yours about an hour before bed, it’s so relaxing listening and watching your adventures.
All the best, MG
You're not the first to feel sleepy after my videos.
....looking to your stories from Belgium, truly like your peaceful and pure video's, only discovered your channel a couple of days ago -)
Welcome aboard!
Really enjoyed the vibes of England on this rainy day! thank you for another fun video to watch :)
Thanks
Probably getting hypothermic by not wearing the right gear for the conditions! Thanks for posting and great content as usual!
I survived
Greetings from Jakarta! I'm always enjoying your videos, Marcus. It always makes me go outside and ride my bicycle. I'm doing my best to change my habit from car to bike (even though it is always challenging to commute here in Jakarta). Cheers for many fun rides in the future ✨
Thank you!
The rain def added to the fun. Your landscapes are beautiful!
Thanks!
This was an awesome adventure! Those bikes were so great looking. They just sailed down the wet paths. Thanks for sharing.
Such fun bikes.
Internet friends! Its brave to go and seek them out in person, but its awesome to see you having the courage to go and hang out.
Most of my friends nowadays started as internet friends.
Hello from Paris !
Thanks for the awesome videos.
Peaceful mood. Quickly become my favorite channel here. Can’t wait to see more of your cycling journey on the internet !
Merci!
been obsessed with the seabass rufus stone build lately! the njs headset combined with the magura hydros is just ridiculous. so cool.
i think you did a great job showing off how beautiful england is. nothing wrong with mud
Thank you!
That Seabass Rufus Stone looks so fun.
Thanks!
Thank you!
The New Forest looks magical!
It is!
Loving the England vids!
You inspired me and I’m actually considering a Pelago Hanko Outback to get out in nature with my wife and our friends.
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Those look like great bikes. I had the Pelago Bristol as a commuter bike when I lived in London. Loved it. The Hanko was on my radar too but not easy to buy in Korea.
@@probablyriding I wanted to try the Bristol, but they didn’t have any in the store. Instead I had the chance to try the Silvo, which is also quite popular. I think I might get the Hanko tho hehe.
Love my Riv Appa, those loonng chainstays! Great vid as usual. Always feel up for ride after watching your videos.
Right on!
I love this vibe, no background music is actually sort of peaceful
Thanks
Beautiful country ❤
Very!
A couple of weeks ago I was looking for some shorter bike packing trips in Europe and stumbled upon the rat run. I read a bit about it and it's creator Tom. After this I got into bikes and riding again and shortly after I stumbled upon your channel which I am amazed of. I knew nothing about this community and this kind of bike building before but I'm glad That I found it
That’s awesome. Thank you!
Malaysia too! I really enjoy watching your videos. Keep them coming.
Thank you! Will do!
Great video, nice bikes and wide tires, my kind of ride. Looks like a great area to live. Thanks
Thanks!
indonesia viewer here! love the bikes, and the videos. i wish i could see your bikes in person!
Would love to visit with one of my bikes one day!
What a rainy day! Nice! Thank you.😉
Thank you too
Watching from Russia! Really love your videos! Basically my favourite biking channel!
If you ever would need a tour in Russia (I don't really know why tho) I'm all yours, hahah
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for another great video. I'm down in the New Forest in August and passing through Lyndhurst. I'll definitely take some time out to check out Woods Cyclery.
As many folks probably told you on your return to the UK, you didn't just hit poor weather, it's been like that most of the year so far.
The weather was pretty atrocious but kind of a nice break from the heat, storms and humidity of Korea.
Woods Cyclery is a must when you’re there. Maybe even rent some bikes!
@@probablyriding I'll be too time-poor for that this time around. We run an annual event for Honda Cubs (C90s) which is why I'll be there. I'll definitely browse though, and look to head back there and ride sometime.
Looks fun, missing those kinds of shops in my area as well. Only thing missing was some rear fenders. Enjoy the rest of your trip
Fenders would have been nice.
Such a cool ride! Rides through the country just hit different compared to city riding. Nature has a way of calming the heart and it was a treat to see the horses and cows. ❤ The bike you were on was sweet! And you looked like you were having the time of your life…mud and all! 😂 Great video, Marcus!
Thanks!
wow what lovely vid & route, hope to get out there soon before uk winter hits.
Have fun!
watching from Colombia, love your videos!
Awesome! Gracias!
Nice shop, right in the centre of the forest! Miles of the best gravel.
You got that right!
Stunning bikes! Need to keep that bike shop in mind next time I'm in the UK, it looks incredible!
You should!
That’s a gorgeous looking forest.
Sure was
Steel bikes and wider tires as the introductory common denominator to greater overlaps of interest. I love this.
So far, a 99% success rate.
Thankyou for posting.
Thank you for watching 👀
So jealous of your bike!
It was a great bike.
Great job 👏
Thank you! 😃
Great song choice! Cool vibe in your video. I haven’t seen Rune bicycles in the US. Looks like a great bike.
Thanks! They haven’t been around long. I think they got their first delivery of frames a couple of months ago.
Beautiful. As I sit here facing another 100*+ day in the Central Valley of NorCal, I'd happily trade you that English weather. Might have to get a new frame!
It was quite refreshing to be away from the brutal Korean summer.
New Forest has great riding. It's worth popping over to the Isle of Wight for the day as well, it's like stepping back in time.
Next time!
Build it and we will come! 🇺🇸
👍🏻
Hello from Dublin, the rain makes it look familiar to my rides 😅
Hello 👋 Thanks for watching 👀
love it! It's so much fun guys!
Thanks!
Lovely. I did that route on a Brompton. Maybe next time I'll hire a bike.
Nice.
Oh man, those bars look perfect..
They’re pretty sweet.
Lovely video 😊
Thank you 🤗
Put some 48cm Hilt bars on my Homer and they're great but Atlantis is jealous and screaming to try them out.
Could have a lot of tinkering going on soon...
Great vlog.
Very nice 👌
What a great video. And what an amazing area in the uk. Must stop in for a visit. Also wish we saw a bit more of that Surly. Looks like a cool model.
Definitely stop for a visit. It’s a great shop and area to ride.
Awesome video. Just moved back to the New Forest and I'm eyeing up one of those Rivendells!
Good choice!
I really wonder how many people watch you from mexico or if im the only one who does nwn
Great video as always ❤❤❤
A few Mexicans watching I believe! I’m actually meeting my Mexican friend in Tokyo next week 🇲🇽
I just checked. 2397 views from people in Mexico since I started this channel. Pretty cool!
I'm sure at least half of those are just from me alone (?
Greetings from Miami, Florida USA
Hello there!
Great vid, liked and subbed!
Thanks for the sub!
Come to California there is a lot of routes: the strand, San Gabriel river bike way, Huntington Beach, Santa Ana river, and the Fullerton loop.
Would love to.
Proper cool bike shop, reminds me of Bluelug in Tokyo.
Yeah, some similar vibes to Bluelug but without quite as much stuff everywhere!
Not gonna lie, kinda strange seeing your hands on drop bars! ha. Very cool shop. Always nice to see shops in the UK and Europe carry Ritchey and Surly. Btw, when are you coming to the US for some rides???
The drops were fun for a change. Would love to ride in the US some time. So many awesome places to ride over there. One day!
I made a similar observation when following alt cyclists online - it always turned out that we had similar interests, politics and ideas. I never looked further into an alt cyclist persona like you, Ron, PathLessPedaled etc. and eventually found out that actually, they're a rude, conservative grump who doesn't like dogs or something. Always the opposite. I love all my people.
Your comments on worldwide friends makes me regret that I never invited you for a coffee ride when I was in Seoul when your channel had just started. As a fellow introvert, the danger of accidentally projecting some parasocial friendship onto someone and crossing boundaries by pushing to meet seemed too scary. But if you ever do a "probably riding" group ride when I'm back, I'll be sure to sign up. That's one of the joys of cycling, it really brings people together.
Next time! I’ve met some people visiting Seoul. Often visiting HBC cafe ☕️
I recently rode some of those tracks on my gravel bike. Lovely views and nice car free routes. Sadly my mates wouldn’t let me stop by Woods Cyclery , they are keen Electric MTB riders😩. Don’t know why I ride with them really 🤔 I was longing to see a Rivendell in the flesh. The Rufus Stone looks a beauty. You’re a lucky guy and nice to see that your popularity pulls some strings.
The Woods welcomes all, even ebike riders!
“A bit of rain…” 😂. What a summer in the UK this has been!
Just a bit 😝
Just gotta say your intro “I’m probably riding…” is just perfection. Always love your vids.
Would love to hear about the camera you use to film.
I’m happy with it! Camera is www.insta360.com/sal/go-3?INRL3L3
Thank you for sharing another wonderful video! Did your wife join you on this trip back home?
Unfortunately not. She came in the winter but didn’t have the time for the long haul flight. Next time!
Chromoly frames are love.
True
You seem like such a cool dude, can totally relate it's easier to make friends when you both like bikes. If you ever find yourself in Rhode Island, US - hit me up!
Thank you!
South of the UK?! Hmm, not that far from the west of Germany. One more spot on my bucketlist! Nice video! 👍
Not too far with a nice ferry ride and the white cliffs view as you arrive in the UK. Definitely worth a visit!
id buy that black one..
Do it!
I will be visiting South Korea in August for 4 days. I will definitely pay a visit to HBC Coffee thanks to you. Would love to know of any other cool bike shops in Seoul that you’d recommend. Mahalo from Hawaii!
Nice! Rookey and Bike Makes Me Happy are the best two shops.
@@probablyriding Thank you! Will for sure check those out. Pretty sure you’ve mentioned them before come to think of it. Keep up the great vids you’re one of my favorite bike TH-camrs!
never thought id see you using drop bars haha 🤣
🫳
I’m sure you’ve been asked before and sorry for asking again but what’s your camera set up for filming your rides? Love the channel ❤
No worries! I use and iPhone and insta 360 go 3. Mixed feeling about the go. I like the footage but it is buggy and unreliable.
very cool video! do you film with a gopro?
Thanks. I use this: www.insta360.com/sal/go-3?INRL3L3
You also have a viewer from Thailand as well.
Awesome. Want to ride a bike there too.
New to the bike scene, really like the look of the rune having looked on the website it’s just the frame for sale is that correct how can I work out what parts are needed and get the bike built ?
Ask your local bike shop!
Hey, I like the music you put on your videos. How did you get permission from the musicians to use on your videos?
Check the website thematic
New Forest in all its glory! What bars on the Appa - Magic Moth?
Yes. Even with bar extenders!
You've got people watching from Lithuania too!
Awesome!
Steel bikes, wide tires 😎
The best
Part of me wants to visit Woods but the other part knows I'll just get depressed about not being able to afford anything... All the good stuff though, Stooge, Rune, Riv. It's a must for ATB fans...
It’s nice place to stop for a coffee too.
Hi there
why are you guys not havin any fenders as you ride in the UK and this weather? You just throw away your cloth afterwards?
I have this fancy contraption called a washing machine. Not my bike and I don’t live in the UK. I would have fenders on my bike if I lived in the UK though.
The sandwich looked good. Clean plate club?
Of course!
Not a single mudguard in sight!
So many muddy backs.
Glad I brought a change of clothes.
What handlebar is mounted on this Rivendell? It looks very wide
Magic Components Moth bars.
How's the klampers?
I had the GRX but I had a little ride on Ashley’s bike with the Klampers. Great as expected from Paul Components.
Rune has similar sizing as Singular, I don’t understand why they make the standover so high- my only complaint about those two brands-
I think Rune explain why in their blog.
What did they call gravel riding 25 years ago?
Riding bikes.
Damn I still need to upgrade mine from adamant
👍🏻
Sir what type of bike frame is that? I'm from Philippines and i can't find bike frame that you're using.
most of the bike frame i saw here was for RB, MTB and Fixie
www.runebicycles.com/
What is the small yellow bike frame bag on the green frame? ‘cosmic’ ?
@@ranyamulchandanithat's a vintage cosmic trail frame bag, they were very big back in the 90s mountain bike scene here in the uk
Many options for steel bikes here in the PH! Check out Bikeary (for Velo Orange) Built Cycles (for Ritchey, All City, Soma, and their very own Blocks), and Tambay Cycling Hub (for the Traction Bikes), and Dave Bikes (for Surly) 🫡 Best of luck!
I wish I was riding my bike but it's too hot!
Maybe at night?
100% not into nations and borders…but greetings from Switzerland.
I can take it as a location, rather than nation. 👋 Hello!
No fenders on those bikes and totally not the right clothing choice for the weather. Both on purpose I suppose...😅
I didn’t pack much for my trip to England. My clothes were all quick dry nylon, the only problem was they didn’t have a chance to dry! Luckily I had a change of clothes with me.
@@probablyriding Well, just a typical british summer then I guess ;) Warm rain is not too bad and you look like the three of you had fun. Just wonder why those bikes had no fenders fitted. Berthoud Cycles and Velo Orange make some really nice classic looking ones that look nice on bikes imho. Especially in silver. Just a thought! :) Thanks for the video.
PHILIPPINES MENTION !?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Hope everything is ok with the storm
HOW MUCH THERE COMMON BIKE PRICE?
HAVE A LOOK ON THEIR ONLINE SHOP.
당근에서 8천원짜리 사서 타고 있음 ㅋ
