- I challenged myself to get along without a car, with only my bike, for eleven days. It wasn't always easy. I was tasked by my day job with creating a video series on my experiences. Am I ready to give my car away? Heck, no. But I learned a lot as a commuter cyclist. And had some fun. #JoyfulTrails #CommuterBike
Man, your videos are funnier than many of today's TV "comedies".
You got acquainted with your bike & you got to see how some people make it to work on a day to day basis. Imagine what the bike messengers do on their bikes for 8 hours? Enjoyed your video as usual. Keep them coming!
This is great!! I wouldn't survive, but the video is awesome! Ha.
Thanks! I shared this in some FB cycling groups and pretty much got roasted... Comments like, "I've gone without a car for years but I don't make a big production out of it." Or, "I moved to Spain and now I don't even own a car." Hey, for me...11 days was A LOT.
i truly love riding in the rain, i dont know why but it is so nice, as for work, nah i retired 3 years ago, heavy lift operator, everyday is a friday to me, it was also so nice to throw the alarm clock away
I’m jealous! Looking forward to those clockless days.
This dude can be hilarious.
Hey Mr Joyful trails I like to introduce myself to you. I am originally from Silicon Valley born and raised currently living in the south end Of Charolette in South Carolina. I also lived for 5 years in the Netherlands until recently coming to Charolette. I grew up road racing on road bikes and actually knew specialized bikes back when they were a couple of guys selling bikes out of a van at all the road races in Silicon Valley. Worked a bike shop when I was young guy for several years. All that said I like to say how I enjoy your UA-cam channel and the way you edit your videos. In this video I completely agree with about the guys in bike groups training for the tour de France on the swamp trail. I have the same problem here in Charlotte on a similar path called the green way. I don’t know what happen to bikers being polite and not “Dominating!”the pathways others share. I think the greenway is not a place for bikers to be grinding down the road in an echelon at 30mph when people are walking dogs with long leashes and mothers with strollers. Also doing this so aggressively. I used to ride 600 miles a week training for road races and I never behaved the way some of those weekend warriors ride today showing off newest cycling jersey and gear they bought. It shocks me about their behavior. Ok enough complaining I like to invite you to watch some of my videos and also invite you if you ever get to Charolette to go for a ride on the greenway trail about 25 miles as they are still working on it. If you need a second camera man or grip guy let me know. I am about your age hiding by your long hair and band days. Message me or leave a comment on one of my videos.
Hey, thanks for watching! Yes, gotta watch out for the speedsters out there. Super-fast racing bikes are especially dangerous to stroller-pushers and dog walkers. Thanks for watching!
This was a fun watch. Your videos are a “Joy!” I know the feeling of being without a vehicle. No cool trails to take to work though lol
Thanks! This one was...um...interesting to do. I wouldn't want to have to repeat it... 😆
@@joyfultrails lol. Part 2, you could break a record.
Well done, sir. Well done.
Thanks!
Another great video! I totally agree with you on the road bikers!! Way too fast and DO NOT BELONG ON THE TRAILS YOU LISTED!!!!
Absolutely!
Congratulations 🚴♂️😎.. long story short.. I challenge myself back in the mid Eighties.. to go a whole summer without a car.. you are correct in the positives & negatives.. but I thought it was very rewarding.. I went 6 years without a car.. being outside is good for the Soul..
Wow! I tell ya...by the end of the 11 days, I was SO ready to get that Camry back. I don't know how you made it that long... !
@@joyfultrails Looking back.. being Single.. No Children.. Helped 🙂
You gotta get yourself an e bike, I ditched my old Peugot road bike and got an e bike for my 70th Bday and it's better than Viagra. I don't need someone else to enjoy it.
Sir, you are hilarious. I need to get you to appear in one of my videos sometime... 😂
