aha, and they sell their rusty bikes here in the Philippines. I have a mamachari bike which works fine. All I need is the sturdy body, the shifters, breaks, tyres and chains can still be bought from bike shops. right now, I changed the shifter and gears with an after-market shimano gear set and my bike is good to go.
I feel like in America we’re being cheated from cool bikes like these, they come with everything there whereas here we have to buy the locks, sometimes lights and the baskets😞 Nice video thank you!
Just a couple points on bikes I've picked up over the years. You're right about leg extension needing to be correct or else you're working a lot harder. The knee should be slightly bent when the pedal is in the bottom position. If you ever tried riding a smaller kids bike as an adult you'd soon find yourself wearing your legs out. On the gear shifter not working, different shifting mechanisms require the rider to pedal a certain way for the next gear to engage properly. Sometimes you continue to smoothly pedal while changing the gear knob. On other bikes, particularly with inside hub shifters you either stop pedaling when shifting or even back pedal slightly to have the next gear engage. Maybe she still has the instructions that came with the bike which explains proper shifting technique. Would love to visit Japan and possibly even live there. My daughter has learned to speak, write, and understand when someone speaks to her in Japanese. She'd love to visit there, too!
tomoko tomoko Tomoko. Oil that chain. At least 1 time a year. Or you will be walking all your life. And we all know Tomoko is to pretty to be out in the hot sun for hours walking. Or we will have baked Tomoko on a stick
I'm having a good time learning how to ride a bike here in the Philippines with my Black and Silver Mamachari. I hope To upgrade my seat post and handle bar soon.
When I was in Vietnam almost a year ago, I saw several silver versions of this type bicycle that people would ride. I wonder if they are referred to in a similar Vietnamese name.
Actually the headlight of motorcycle have to be turned on all-day always. That is for safety. The car driver will see you much more easier during daylight, he can also see a motorcycle behind the car from rear-view mirror. So it is better to make headlight always on for bicycle too.
That lock is like an open invitation for anyone wanting to steal mama-chari. My seat was stolen as well. There used to be a perv in Helsinki. In Japan they should probably sell them like used panties in a vending machine or something so that pervs would not steal them. There must be also bike repair shops for all those mama-charis when they get rusty and old.
Nice video Cruise :) I am amazed that japanese OL ride this wearing their work outfit short skirts and high heels. Some of them might ride holding umbrella, talking on phone and smoking cigarette at the same time LoL. Multitasking overload :)
Yeah, the heel thing really gets me. The police are pretty strict with the umbrella and phone thing though. Thankfully not many cycling smokers where I live Haha
I'm pretty sure that you like to build your own bikes, just like I do. How about a new project: building a cool Papa-Chari, so that men can drive to the supermarket without the shame-red colour in their faces😂. A black bike with GT-stripes or a skull design for example. Also wide tyres, hangers for side-bags and so on. Would be great to see your equivalent creation for men.
Japan is so courteous, it is customary for saddle thieves to leave a head of broccoli 🥦 in the seat tube. Yet lately with the rise in vegetable costs, this custom has been ignored. Just kidding 😜
90% of Mama-Chari's are garbage. If you've ever tried to fix a flat on the rear tire you will realize this. They're far too complicated... which is why it costs between $30 to $50 just to fix a flat on one. In fact I went to fix my wife's rear tire flat and found a factory installed tube which was the wrong size. it was for a much larger tire but they just folded it and put it in anyway. The Mama-Chari frame design is great but the bicycles themselves are mostly garbage that last just a couple of years. Just a total massive waste. You're better off paying a bit more for a name brand bike that is well made and simple to repair.
A big thanks to Tomoko-san for helping us film this fun video! Be sure to check her channel out if your interested in learning more Japanese.
Two Wheel Cruise Could you post a link to her channel please

7:30 I'm amazed this is my first time seeing a guard for that type of bicycle transmission wow

Not going to lie, checking TH-cam and seeing you upload another video, brought a smile to my face. Ty!
Thanks, reading that brought a smile to my face as well 😁

Very informative video!! I like the first drone footage♪ Thanks for the fun time and introducing my video, too!😄👍
Was a fun day! 😁 let's do something again soon!

Jeremy Parsons Oil it. Got it!! 😅
That lock is brilliant!
It's really convenient :)
You are really good at explaining, that was interesting to listen to !
Thanks! 😁😎
Thanks for making monday morning fun!
Monday mamachari!
Love the mama chari, I ride a fat bike and a track bike so I look forward to riding mama chari when I come to Japan, they're really comfortable.
They're great 😀 but maybe not as comfy as a fat bike
@@TwoWheelCruise the mamachari is rear heavy but the front is so light, that one jerk can throw you off the road.
Cute video. The music was driving me slightly insane but it’s all good!
Really? Which music? Thought I kept the volume low this time
Great video👍👍
Thanks! :)

What beautiful country side.
This is city 😉
I like this lifestyle
When I was in Vietnam almost a year ago, I saw several silver versions of this type bicycle that people would ride. I wonder if they are referred to in a similar Vietnamese name.
0:09 is a beautiful shot with the train passing by in the background!
the selfistick ruins it a bit though =D
Dangit Tomoko-san, way to ruin the moment 😂
Nice drone action!
Thanks! 😀
I wish i have that bike for christmas.
i want to buy a mamachari now!
This is the first time Ive known that its called mama chari. All my life I knew it was just Japanese bike lol
Me too
it is write: ママチャリ
What does it mean
Good show Cruise.
Thanks!
Dude, this was a cool and funny video. Tomoko always making people laugh! :D
Thanks! She has a wonderful personality and is really fun to be around :)
Here's the link for the complete music that starts at 0:01 and ends at 0:21

Can u make a video on the groupset... 105 vs Tiagra vs Ultegra vs Dura Ace... Meaning how smoothly the groupsets function...
Another great vid man! are you back in japan?
Thanks! Not yet, filmed this a while ago.
Actually the headlight of motorcycle have to be turned on all-day always.
That is for safety.
The car driver will see you much more easier during daylight, he can also see a motorcycle behind the car from rear-view mirror.
So it is better to make headlight always on for bicycle too.
Interesting, didn't know that but it makes sense
Hime, Hime!
😉
@@TwoWheelCruise is that onadas bike irl
Daisuki suki suki
I often rent these kinds of bicycles when I am on holiday in Japan.
Yeah, they're great for tourists!
How do we rent these bikes?
those bikes only come with a front brake? i can't see the rear brake
it's there, hidden behind the lock
Very nice air footage !! Is this video made with Mavic Air?
Thanks and yes!
5:00 Throung-san is like ''what are they talking about!! is it about me!!???''
Lmfao
Wow you made my challenge
In indonesia we have "mama chari bicycle" too :D, sadly today in my country just few people ride a bike in street :(
It's the same in Vietnam. A lot of people used to use them, but now everybody is on gas/electric bikes :(
Now everyone started riding bicycle lol wkwk
@@taeyogaming9501 brompton gang rise up!
I heard Yowamushi pedal started a biking craze in japan. Really true?
Yes, it definitely caused a boom
Hahaha hime
It's so relaxing to ride.
But I'm so sad for my country Philippines it doesn't pay attention much for bike. 😖
Same for my hometown in Detroit 😓
But you are in the beautiful place Japan. I'm very jealous to you bro hahaha
Much better music in this video!
Haha thanks!
🎵Suki, suki, daisuki, Hime🎵
I thought mama chari was short for Mama Chariot : SUV size bike turn all your stuff around like a chariot
Awesome 🙏📸🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️📸
I'm addicted to Seventeen Ice Choco-minto.
Lol an unexpected fan.. didn't know you had a sweet tooth

Most people just end up buying a new bike since it's cheaper than repairing..
What? They had similar bike at Granville Island store on clearance for $1100. CAD & I think salesman said made in England.
Mass produced and exported here, so the prices are cheaper than most places.. that's insanely expensive
typical Vancouver, BC pricing... People seem to be happy overpaying for things here haha.
I wish I had a Japanese bike
OMG, Tomoko-san voice sounds similar to Miyuki Sawashiro seiyu. :D
I think she used to be a professional announcer of sorts
its burning hot summer for everyone bruh XD
Crazy hot
no spare tire need to bring on mama chari??
Nice video Cruise :)

What word Mama-Chari means?
Mom's bike
Ahhhh good to know 😄
Salt air is the worst rust creator.
ママチャリの語源は、おっかさん用のチャリンコ、だろうけど、ちょいとエリートぶって”MOTHER'S CHARIOT", ”古代欧州近東・ローマ時代などで使われた２輪馬車（戦闘用）”、に比して ママ用のチャリオットだったと信じたい。日本のスマートな女性が、彼女らの日常の生活への戦い？に向いた自転車をそうなずけたものと想像したい。外人にはそう教育する。（正確な起源を教えてくださらぬとも結構です。）
面白いですね。この解釈のほうが好きです。
次のチャンスではこういう風に説明してみます :)

I've seen some pretty sick custom setups here. Would love to do one sometime myself, but right now I mostly have stock builds (financial reasons)

Lol I'm not sure if I would be more angry or amused in that situation
I have a papa chari bicycle :)
Haha, nice!

Is bike theft becoming more common these days or is it just a case of being better safe than sorry ?
always better to be better safe than sorry
