    Hehe, the doggos on that thin sidewalk, side by side,, with their leashes crossed - too cute.

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hahaha it is cute. Makes me want to get a third one, but that would be way too much work 😝

    Always great cycling videos, really calm and relax music, it reminds me of the good old days back at UTS 20 years ago.

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you :)
      Glad I could take you back a few decades. The city has changed a lot, but there’s a lot of character which also has stayed the same.

    Thanks for the early morning sight seeing tour Josh! I normally cycle under the bridge at the Rocks and thru Circular Quay to Woolloomoolo at that time of the morning

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yea that is a great route. If I had more time I would have included that

    Nice Video Josh. I love riding around our city of Sydney especially on a Sunday morning when traffic is almost non-existant. I did an early morning video ride during covid and the city was sparkling clean and empty so I got some great footage of our lovely foreshore and iconic buildings for the various and varied vantage points. Keep up the good work.

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Weekday riding during Covid was awesome too. Because the clear ways were still observed but the traffic was almost non existent
      Thanks for watching the vids!

  • @vanecvetkovski
    @vanecvetkovski หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Love your videos Josh. If possible would you be able to do some more footage of the southern approach to the harbour bridge going north. Believe or not I have never used that bike path. I have used the roadway a few times during cycling events though.
    Thanks Mate and keep up the awesomeness!!

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I will keep it in mind mate!
      Thanks for watching :)

    Josh fantastic clip. You really have that perfect flare for putting it all so beautifully together. For me total enjoyment to watch. Sydney looks so beautiful and for such a busy city the tranquility to be found gives it a real richness. Fantastic photos along the way too. I think you should re-evaluate your career path. You should be a cinema photographer or something in the visual arts.

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks very much mate. I really enjoyed filming this video as well as putting it together.
      I think most cities if you get up early enough, you can find a nice peaceful period ☺️
      Hahahaha whilst I do love creating vlogs and taking photos, I think it best remain as a side hobby, lest I rely on it for my livelihood and it becomes stressful

  • @derekcravenPT
    @derekcravenPT 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I really enjoy your vids. Back in the early 2000s I used to visit Sydney regularly so I see massive changes around the city since then. These days I visit Melbourne more( from NZ) as I have a daughter living there. I love the cycling culture and infrastructure there.

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Some say Sydney peaked in 2000 during the olynpics and when we had the monorail 🥲
      I need to visit Melbourne, I have alot of people saying I need to check it out.

    Great casual ride and video Josh. Your song choice is really on point mate. You've nearly convinced me to get that Fuji X100f!

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks mate! It’s a fantastic camera. A bit of a shame it’s become so expensive on the grey market. I’m thankful I bought mine years ago before the hype

    • @joshkwan

      Wow that’s super generous of you! I really appreciate it.
      Any money I make on the channel gets invested back into the videos (software, camera equipment etc) so thanks for the donation 🙏🫡
      Thanks for enjoying the vids ☺️

  • @Rafftown
    @Rafftown 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Great video mate. Love this aspect of urban cycling, chilling and just exploring what the city has to offer.

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes! So much to see, architecture, nature and just everyday life. It’s great :)

  • @chrisvisvis
    @chrisvisvis 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Loved this chill vlog, I can tell you had the time to frame up the static shots beautifully riding and shooting solo. I feel like this is a vlog I’ve had in my ideas 💡 book for years but never executed as all my training sessions are aimed at improving performance 🥹 You really did the locations justice with awesome shots, facts & real time naturalness 🙌
    On the odd occasion I ride with a mirrorless camera I like the to ride with a soomom all round fixing strap that stops the peak design strap & camera from sliding around. Although you mustn’t really have that prob✌️

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks mate! Similar to you, a lot of my focus goes to training or group riding. So it’s a nice little switch up to go for a solo ride with no real aim or goal other than sightseeing.
      I will check out the Soomom strap, my set up only works if I ride very relaxed and don’t get out of the saddle.

      @veryboringname. 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@joshkwan What time do you usually sleep? I'm a classic night owl but the few times I had an early start I do feel more productive too. Maybe I need to do that a bit more...

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Usually try and get in bed at 10:30pm… but not good at sticking to that. Through highschool and uni I was a massive night owl. I’d love to stay up and play video games. But current lifestyle forced a change 🤪

      @joshkwan  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We truely are. I know Sydney siders love to complain, but I reckon everyone needs to go outside, look at the sunrise from our beautiful coastline and recognise that we are definitely the lucky ones.
      My boys are thankfully very happy to sit at the cafe all morning long ☺️

    Great vlog yet again. One day I followed the coast as much as could from Bondi through to The Maritime Museum, it was a fun morning out. Your bunch rides are great content but it doesn't hurt to fly solo occasionally 😉 👍🍻
    I missed the Nero show where you featured but tbh I've lost a bit of interest in that channel 🤷‍♂️

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That’s a beautiful coastal route, but also very hilly 🤣
      I think I’ll try and do the occasional solo ride. It’s quite relaxing and a good way to clear my head.

    • @DMurdock
      @DMurdock 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @ if you watch the Cade Media bikepacking series, Lawrence Carpenter caries the camera on his back using a specific kind of strap. I might just try that one. Just gotta make sure that I don't crash lol. I'm also considering getting a small mirrorless but I'd still keep the zooms because you can't shoot birds with a small lens unless you're a ninja.

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The strap they use is a 3 point strap. You can only use it while stationary, unless you’re very goood at fiddling with stuff while riding (and also riding with one hand)
      A good option to transport the camera, and I did think about it for a while. My camera is small enough it doesn’t need the stabilisation strap though.
