- Join Thuong and I as we cycle from East Nagoya Japan to the nearby mountains for a day of climbing. Today we are on our mountain bikes and plan to climb up to a "secret" ATV dirt road trail.
This is part 1 of today's bike ride where we ride along the bike paths from the city into the Japanese countryside.
Part 2 - Hiromi Rindo dirt road climb 広見林道

The longer rides are the best kinds. Let's us get a feel of what it's like riding over there. We can only dream. :)
been cycling with my wife on iron single speed housewife bikes in Nagoya many times in the last 2 decades. Our cycling plan in April in Nagoya was cancelled due to the virus. So good meeting you here on TH-cam, letting us see what's going on in Nagoya recently on the roads.
Great video! I am watching now, around 5 mins in, where you ask your viewers to like and comment about the length of the videos.
Yes, I do like these longer videos. They are relaxing and fun to watch. Plus, I imagine for you a little easier, as there will be less editing to do back home, so good for everyone! Lovely day there in Japan!
Thanks! They are definitely much less stressful for me to film / edit :)
excellent. (brazil)
Hi Cruise! May I ask what is your wife's height, her frame and wheel size?😊
170cm, M, 29er
I know the focus of this video is the bike ride, but I just wanted to say I love the fun banter between you two. You guys are an awesome couple!
I love longer uncut videos! Mainly like this, I can put it on the secondary monitor, and that environment, sound ... mmm :) It doesn't have to be commented all the time. It's all about the environment/feelking from it :)
2 more parts coming from this ride ;)
love the longer style clips
Thanks! More on the way 🙂
Yes. I prefer uncut long rides. Just like some walk videos. If you can get binaural sound recording, even better. If HDR, doubly better. Binaural is a stereo sou d recording where the microphones point sideways. All Sony mobile phones from Z2 have these. Xz2 start having HDR 4K recording.
I have iPhone 11. Great phone, i have it on my bike in light rain with no issues ( have a case for serious rain) video is good and has the wide angle camera option. Battery last a day easily. this is my 3rd iPhone. Wouldn't have anything else now.
Very good effort. How long would you say you were climbing for time-wise?
maybe an hour total.. It's all on the video / strava
8:01 I was more shocked than you at that moment
😂😅
Iphone 11 is a great choice but do consider the s20 or note 20
i was thinking that during the livestream. Get Thuong on swift, i think we the people want to see her in the pain cave to XD
It's gonna happen
The blue car is a classic VW truck
Yup Volkswagen Transporter from the late 50s or 60s. Interesting story as to why they disappeared from US lots in the early 60s - Pres Johnson put on an import tax on European light truck imports to appease the UAW and get them to put off a strike and support Johnson's civil rights agenda. But the US went through the sharade of saying the tax was in retaliation for European import taxes on US chickens (which there was). Net effect was the trucks basically disappeared from the US but they weren't uncommon in Canada. Hippies and draft dodgers loved the damn things.
@@theloniousm4337 They were quite common in Australia and we referred to the Van or truck as being a Vee Dub Kombi, although the van style was more common, they made a fantastic camper in their day. The flat bad truck is mounted higher than you're usual pick-up TW Cruise as it's got the flat 4 cylinder motor under the rear tray...all were rear engine and rear drive. I think the one in the video could be newer than you stated, I'm thinking possibly '68 to maybe 72 model? We also called them what we do the VW Beatle....Hitlers revenge lol
Almost had a freakin' heart attack when you almost hit that post.
😅😬
Any upload is greatly appreciate while working on boring excel reports. For your viewers, there are 3 exceptional short 90 seconds videos from BBC sportscaster Andrew Cotter with his 2 funny dogs. www.thenational.scot/news/18420826.twitter-cant-get-enough-scots-broadcasters-spoof-dog-commentaries/
I actually really love making excel reports haha
Never boring with dogs around :)
I am a 40+ min video guy. Thanks for uploading during lockdown ♥️.
Thanks! :)
The scenery is great and you ride a bike well....^^
Nice ride can't wait to see the next. So you running a 2x front chainrings set up. I went with a 2x Shimano set up. Only could fit a 10 speed cassette on my bike was 8 speed. So it gave me the best gear ratio I like. Oh have you tried any oval chainrings yet, like to and see. Maybe one day. Take care stay safe.
I prefer 2x, never tried oval
Thanks so much for this outdoor hill climb. I was cycling along on the trainer. Keep it up guys. Cheers!
Brasil aqui. que legal, meus vídeos são em Curitiba, uma cidade brasileira com milhões de ciclistas!
Looks like your wife did a Hotline. Lol That's when one run through a red lights or stop signs on a bike.
She doesn't want to waste that downhill energy LOL
I like both, the edited and unedited videos, but there is something therapeutic about these long format videos.
Thanks! :)
thank you ,,i wiil go to toyota mtb hehe
Love and enjoy this kind of ride. Feeling like I am there physically riding with you guys while exploring almost every corner of Nagoya. Excellent clip.
Part 2 is even better ;)
@@TwoWheelCruise Yes indeed!
You are the best youtuber.
39:32 this is an old Volkswagen (VW) Bully from Germany. I guess build in the late 60ies or seventies. Normally they were build as regular vans or also camping cars. But this one is for loading. They had a poor power of their engine. Maybe 60 horsepower or so.
Edith: At least it looks like that VW Bully. Cannot see it properly, but the rims are typical and the rear lights.
I believe the vehicle is a Volkswagen German made. Minibuses and pickups style popular in the 50 & 60’s.
I like this type of vid as winding down/bedtime viewing. Very relaxing.
These are amazing to watch while working out, or when I'm curing my own wanderlust, because it's cold, snowy, icy, wet, windy, or just dark. Keep doing them please !
Nagoya! Nice!
Get the Sony Xperia 1ii. For video and photo its awesome.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Perfect weather for long rides
Love the ride videos Cruise! I’ll email you about the iPhone 11. 👍🏻
Thanks Eli! I was curious about the support there
I like these videos of longer duration especially now.
I would stay with Android the Pixel would allow you great video footage but with access the whole entire Android apps world.
hi😘😘
wow... good.. 👍👍👍
39:00 classic Volkswagen VW kombie with flap down sides. 1970s somewhere maybe.
What gear ratio does your wives bike have?
30, 11~50

I thought I was the only one still using thumb shifters on a mountain bike. I'm riding an old bike and seems most of friends back in the day were using the twist shifters. Finally saw her riding from a side angle and her riding position looked fine. I think your camera lens distorts the angles and that's why she always looked like she was sitting way too far back with her legs way out in front of her.
The industry went backwards to Thumb shifters back in the late, late 90's simply because they were less costly to produce and more reliable than grips. Reason being is that to get good grip shifters you had to spend a good amount of money and then they would last forever. Then at the time SRAM being a lesser company bought out the shifter leader "Grip Shift" an relegated that product to the back of the pack of their own shifters. Which is the same thing that the did when the bought the leader in front suspension "Rock Shock". I still have Grips on my XC bike from the 90's and yest they are far faster and extremely accurate in shifting. (On click = one gear) you can even throw the shift the full range of gears and shift the complete cassette in a single quick twist. Privately owned companies tend to be willing to sell to make their fortunes when companies like SRAM will buy out the competition in order to then move up and dominate the market. It's an old story
Now that most MTB are 1x's the actual need for that kind of quick shifting is not all that necessary. Most are more into Enduro and DH where constant shifting is not needed and XC riding is as heavily marketed as it use to be.
Trigger shifters are the way to go 🙂
Otsukaresama...
Coolest ride ever! The DAM, the forest, amazing views! It was pleasure to watch it, considering that I am in a lockdown, and it is advised not to go out :( ... two bikes await for me: one e-Bike (Cube Acid Hybrid) and Specialized Crux E5 Sport - bought in January 2020 - got to ride it only once :( in Feb when one day was strickingly nice and sunny. Tough times.
Part 2 is even better ;)
Look for the electric car section in the museum. Oh it'll be the "self charging" section, haha (no such thing, in case you were confused).
I have so many questions, I'm guessing most have been answered before. I've been to Japan a few times and bought a mamachari once, but I've been wanting to go back to stay for a while and do some real riding. Do you have trouble with space for your bikes? How long did it take you to know enough Japanese to get by? Do you have a local bike shop in your neighborhood you go to to? How'd you learn all the nuances and rules of cycling in Japan as compared to USA? When I had my mamachari I got pulled over for giving another American a ride to 711, oops!
Longer videos, no cuts at traffic lights. No cuts anywhere (unless personal/law).
i enjoyed every sec but still hate climbing with a bike. its not fair. mechanical engineering should find a way to collect enenrgy like a wind-unwind spring and release it on such steep paths. e-bike is not the exact solution. it is limited, heavy and needs charging, so it's dependent. by the way a woman who never complains, even when uphill pedalling. youre lucky man.
You might want to check on your wife's bike fit. She looks like stretching a lot on the down stroke.
Or maybe just the camera angle. :)
That blue car you saw it is a old German Volkswagen station wagon car, it is tradicional in Brazil and here the name is "Kombi" but today it's not manufactured.
More videos please..love from Rajasthan, India.
I really like your black & green MTB. Looks like Kawasaki motor cycle 😜
Sugoi. Wonderfull place and country.
Just realised Covid-19
Do you have video of normal city life and work commute
You dont have a bell on your bike. Here its technically illegal not to have one and reflectors.
Is there anything you need to have on you bike in japan?
How do I follow you on Zwift?
Search two wheel cruise
wow, she's strong ..
Love the full rides use have on my indoor cycling
The light blue vehicle looks like a very rare retro VW Kombe Truck.
how about bone conduction earphone, are they allowed to use it while riding there?
You guys bossed that climb!
Volkswagon flat bed truck.
Hey i wont to buy enduro roadbike but i dont know must choose which one can you recommend a road bike for me
I am curious the choice of bike, you took out two big lovely bouncy mountain bikes ready for some rough and ready dirt trails. Then did a day of nice smooth tarmac!
This is only part 1 of the video where we road to the start of the dirt. Part 2 will get really interesting ;)
People think how quiet there cars are, but the truth is only if your inside them.
I'm hoping you guys get a chance to ride the shimanami kaido (if you haven't already). I was fortunate to ride that last year when i visited Japan and it was a big bucket list of mine. I'm definitely not a cyclist, actually a beginner, but i enjoy the different perception that you get when you're on a bike versus a vehicle. I enjoy your cycling vlogs! greetings from Califronia!
Hopefully one day!
I thought your wife gained weight. You confirmed it in the video. She looks great in her kit.
A gentleman must NEVER mention a woman's age or her WEIGHT lol.
hope someone will give me bike...my prayer...
Jalanya indah dan sepii...kalo di indo dah penuh ini sama orang sepedaan
What mtb are you both riding..
I jumped outta my seat when you almost hit that pylon! 😲
too close for comfort 😅
@@TwoWheelCruise I nearly hit one in Noumea, New Caledonia, whilst riding along the coastal cycleway, it was right in the middle of the path and a slate colour like the path. Almost like the local authorities are trying drum up a bit of business for Orthopaedic Surgeons lol.
Do you know any vegetation that is unique to Japan along the ride?
Not that I'm aware of, but maybe..
こんにちは！
こんにちは！
nice
Thanks
Hello, I like your videos despite the fact that I don't know anything about the language, but when I see a woman on a bicycle with her clothes fitted with her helmet and tied up her hair they look very beautiful, I would like to start recording my bicycle tours, which camera do you use to record ?. have a nice day.
Thanks! I use a GoPro Hero 8
Gracias por tu atención.
Its nice lane for bicycle
What bike do you have?
Just curious as to why your wife went with a mountain bike with a suspension fork for everyday riding? It’s seems like she is always riding on the road (but I could be wrong to assume that)
However, if I am right why didn’t she consider something that would ride more efficiently for her riding style? A touring/road/gravel bike of sorts would definitely ride nicer; less weight, agile yet comfortably geometry, and you’d still be able to ride relatively wide tires for comfort and traction. Just my thoughts?
Also, I assume since she is planning to keep her current MTB and I know it came with stock knobby tires, but it would probably be a good idea to upgrade them to some smooth/slick-soft casing tires. Only of course if money permits it and if or when her current tires wear out.
She doesn't use this for everyday riding, she still has her roadbike and mamachari for that. This ride continues on some real MTB roads, so you'll see in the next video ;)
The car is a V W Utility , Thuong doing well considering the hangups with corona virus , and I looking froward to picking up my new Scott gravel bike at June's end ; What is Thuong riding , the colour tells me its a Scott ?
I'd rather the longer rides and I wasn't quite sure about when to , "Lock out" , and when not to , Thanks !
Thanks! It's a BMC www.bmc-switzerland.com/teamelite-03-two-301868.html
Enjoy the new bike!
23:08 You can open and close these bottles with your teeth too, so there's no touching with the hand necessary :)
I feel awkward closing it with my teeth so I just tap it against the back of my thigh
The newer iphones have the best video cameras, but they are pricey! so I'd say the new 2020 iphone SE version that just came out that is priced at 400 USD has a very similar camera to the more expensive phones, but if you know what to look for then you can tell the difference, definitely the best deal right now in my opinion. Plus you won't feel too bad upgrading once there is 5G cell service in your area to a newer phone.
The SE looks great, but really want that wide angle lens option :/
Hi Cruise, I recently switched from the Pixel 3a to the iPhone 11 Pro and I can say camera-wise the Pixel phones are definitely on the same level if not better. The camera app on the Pixel is very elaborate - I don‘t really like Apple’s version.
Thanks for the info! The biggest reason I'm considering the iPhone is being able to use lumafusion and quickly transfer files to our ipad for editing :/ But I definitely prefer android
Proof that you are the bravest human on earth 8:35. Did you do what no man dared to do? Just called your wife fat on camera lol... you deserve a medal and a thumbs up today =)
On a more serious note.. get the Samsung S20. Probably for the price of the Apple 11 you can get the latest and greatest with amazing camera capability.
Haha she just responds by calling me fat too
I'm not pretty enough to own any apple products :)
Haha you and me both
Not sure if you made the purchase decision already, but highly recommend switching to the Apple ecosystem. Just far more comfortable and easier to use. The normal 11 is a great option, but if you get the 11 Pro, I think it could serve as a standalone camera for your needs. Just my 2 cents!
Thanks! We did end up getting an 11 pro max :)
I love watching these newer cycling videos on my tv. It is 65 inches and the vids are very clear. Love it! I feel like I’m there too. Next best thing to my wish of cycling in Japan. I’ve re-watched some of your newer rides several time already😆
Thanks! Glad to hear that!
I'm not sure about the whole audience, but for me (and maybe most people local to you) I like the longer format but maybe fast track (not completely leave out) the boring bits like Green road for example.
Good point. I'll try to do that on future videos to remove overlap
I’m surprised I only watched this now. More of these types of videos please. Much more before you leave.
Check out my pov ride playlist
I have an iPhone and I miss my android based phones. Looking at the google phone next. Pictures are amazing on it.
The blue car you did not know is a volskwagon combi .
Check out www.automuseum-volkswagen.de/en/the-cars/the-beloved-camper.html - a few photos down there's a fire truck based on the VW Camper
I miss biking in Japan
Your wife consider very good because she didn't stop at all. Keep it up ! :)
Thanks!
VW Kombi light truck , half brother to the iconic Combi Van . Petrol consumption and exhaust emissions on original (air cooled) engines is not good, however the van is much sought after by aficionados.
I like the longer rides very much. I'm looking to upgrade my Samsung, the photos and videos are excellent.
You should reach out to NordicTrack for iFit because your very good at this!
Thanks! I'm better when I'm behind camera though 😅
Thuong's fit on her MTB seems maybe a bit off???
i was thinking the exact same thing! i also think he pushes the poor girl a bit too hard if i'm honest.
what kind of strap are you using with your gopro camera on this video capture?
Cheap chest mount
don't get the iphone.... it's a trap... get a HUaWEI P30 Series or highter... the camera and video features are excellent quality ...Android give u freedom
If only android had a half way decent video editing application :/
@@TwoWheelCruise how about youcut video app... But usually I will import to my desktop for edit
Thanks for ur motivation Cruise..after seeing ur videos. I decide to travel from Sakae to hirabari with my cycle and I loved it. Because of this , I keep social distancing and avoid subway, u doing grt👍
I need to pump up my bicycle tires. I really miss being a young bicyclist. :) Still waiting for the secret dirt road. :)
今回も楽しく拝見いたしました。私もよく林道をMTBで走りますがクマ、カモシカ、野ウサギなどと出会います。ベルとかは携帯しないんですか？次回作も楽しみにしていますね！
ベルは持っていない 😬
