Bicycles without brakes are illegal in Japan like she herself said. Most fixie guys I know here mount brakes. Yes I lived in NYC for a long time, and I say brakes are necessary in Tokyo. Population density, sidewalk riding, very narrow roads of residential neighborhoods. It's very different. So yeah, Obey the law. Better safe than sorry.
@@hirothajap I think having a light (in addition to the reflectors) are also the law. Maybe it was just the prefecture I lived in, but I was stopped twice for not having my light on.
An absolute enriching and thoughtful view of normality in the life of riding a bike. PLeasant reversal of the madness; the OTHER SIDE of Terry B. More productions like this !!!
Interesting, it looks like the frame had to be pushed in on the drive side to accommodate the crank arm for clearance when peddling. Reminds me of my sram omnium, I had to purchase a new frame, as my current didn't fit.
Totally with you on retiring the penny. Most other countries have done away with their one cent counterparts, we should do likewise. I once read that it costs 3 cents to make one penny, no wonder we have such a ridiculous deficit.
Interesting people ride bikes. Intelligent deep talk. Differences in cycling, culture. Meaning of life. India is even more extreme than NY. Japan pretty "strict". Other parts of Asia too - Vietnam = no rules, go with flow. No one is best - advantages/disadvantages and how fits in with culture of that country. Connecting is good, cycling with others is bonding. Meaning, community, freedom, creativity, play. Not sure if she has heard of the Enneagram, I wonder what her type is. I guess 5w4 (observer with a creative bent), social subtype. If she is great to see a 5 getting out and doing things, 5s at their best.
Enneagram is, to psychology, what astrology is to astronomy ;) There's no validity whatsoever, no reliability, it's pure made-up BS that never gives the same results twice, my friend. It's based on the Barnum effect: the types described in this pseudoscientific "method" are so vague that it's highly likely that one will recognize themselves in most given types. Professionals in psychology consider it as one of the biggest scams. I'm sorry if you believe in it (I don't mean it in a sarcastic way, I mean: I'm sorry to contradict one of your beliefs, I don't mean any harm to you nor do I despise your intelligence), but it's objectively a scam, regardless of what you or I think of it. It's just a gimmicky trend in HR and education, and HR & educ are the most prone to absorb pseudoscientific trends from pop-psychology (they used graphology, psychoanalysis and MBTI for a long time while none of these are anything else but pseudosciences and unproven "methods" of describing personality - while quite a few branches of actual psychology give reliable descriptions). We like to believe in easy-to-understand and cool/simplistic methodologies to classify personalities (check all the books Thomas Erikson has released...), but it's as difficult to create a system that is relevant, reliable and valid, as it is to debunk pseudoscience and explain this to hardcore believers (and most of us are hardcore believers in some kind of pseudoscience and/or a system of belief, at some point in our life). It's probably easier to deter someone from religion with dialogue than to deter a hardcore believer from MBTI, psychoanalysis or homeopathy with scrutiny. (+ brandolini's law = it takes ten times longer to debunk any false statement) All in all: science doesn't give one f... if we believe in it or not, and being open-minded isn't "believing that anything could be real", but accepting that something is wrong when under the scrutiny of facts & proofs. And when it comes to enneagram - it's been repeatedly disproven. ^^
Amelia is very chill and so is her setup but she also absolutely rips
Thank you Amelia and Terry... That was a great session. Enjoy the rest of your stay...
That bike just glides along, you can see it's a pleasure to ride

What up Glad to see you all having fun out there 😁
Great rolling interview. Learned a lot. And a "Rockin 1000" bicycle Amelia had. Love the seat stays.
Great video, the Subject and Videographer were outstanding. Tokyo also provided an amazing backdrop.

Loved this chill commentary! Also that Weis is gorgeous! Great vid ❤️❤️❤️
love this video format!
That bike really fits her, doesn't it.
the meaning of live is riding - riding a wavy line through every place - making it a piece of art
exactly like this video 👍
Awesome! There is something special about bicycles and those who love to ride them Terry is always able to capture that essence😎👌
Awesome video with Amelia. Love this style of video.
People just have their bikes parked outside buildings with no fear of it being stolen 🤯🤯
When I was there I saw that some had these little brake locks on the wheel. But in general, yeah, nothing like the US in terms of theft concerns.
pretty sure bikes are registered over there like cars are
That's an absolutely sick bike! I'm not even a road guy but it's making me really want a slick road bike lol
Nice to get to know you Amelia. You are an All World Betty!
She's pretty spot-on about relationships. I've been single for 6 years, incredibly lonely, etc...and it kills me. I ride my bike to feel good.
Interesting, it looks like the frame had to be pushed in on the drive side to accommodate the crank arm for clearance when peddling. Reminds me of my sram omnium, I had to purchase a new frame, as my current didn't fit.
an inspiring start to the day.
Well spoken. Good morals. Nice one Terry and Amelia. Bike is life.
Super sick bike 🔥🔥 and now we need Toni hotline in Tokyo
Super sweet bike
man that's one bad ass bike.
dope rig!
Bike shines, love it!
I've never been to japan, but I've always got the sense that the japanese are a superior people in a lot of ways.
stellar content!! art! thanks
Beautiful bike!!
Frame color is so sick
Was that a 2000GT at 3:26?😳
is this from a pocket 3 ? :O
Amelia seems really cool
Straps are inserted to pedals/cages in opposite way 😢
Weis is one of my fav bikes, but this colorway def not so much. But cool vid.
Big swoon . Thanks for sharing !!
Good video 🤗
Nice bike Amelia 🙂
🔥🔥🔥
excellent tb
Amelia I love you
❤
Totally with you on retiring the penny. Most other countries have done away with their one cent counterparts, we should do likewise. I once read that it costs 3 cents to make one penny, no wonder we have such a ridiculous deficit.
lmao, it also costs 3 cents to make a dollar bill...
Edit: and 9 cents to make a hundred dollar bill 😀
We live in strange times
If you wanna see real car centric cities, come to Kazakhstan. Nothing new here 😢
