For the sake of keeping the stream of interesting bikehunter video's alive, could you please not find your ideal bike too soon? If you find it, just pretend you didn't. :-)
Good to see another bike hunter vid, good one! I've never seen a padlock through chain/chain ring before! I'd still want more security as it still could be placed in a van etc!😮 Enjoying your hunt
Yeah I liked that a lot! If someone picks it up and walks away with it they really want it :) I’m enjoying looking at what people are riding in different cities, it’s varied so much from place to place
Mi bici perfecta es una "single speed 28' cuadro de acero"....simplicidad y minimalísmo. Se complica en las colinas, en configuración bikepacking, pero es una buena escusa para estirar las piernas!!!! Saludos desde Mar Del Plata, Argentina!!!!
The padlock through the chain-ring thing is what we used to do at school in the 70s before leaving our bikes in the bikesheds (UK.)🇬🇧 If you wanted to travel light, it was easier than carrying a whole padlock and chain, and most of our bikes weren't worth stealing anyway; we used to build them ourselves from odds-and-sods we found at the dump or in the shed, and we used to refer to them as ASPs which was "All Spare Parts".
@@hobocyclist the best is mid drive because front drive doesn't have so much traction and rear drive pulls too much current up hills. just recently I went emountain biking with my uncle - massive 29 inch wheels dual suspension, etc. He stopped doing motorcross and is happy with emountain biking now. more expensive than a cheap car but pretty fun, almost tempted!
The padlock on the chainring is a clever idea

I want to advocate for using the word Bicycle and not Bike. Motorcycles are also called bikes.

Wow so many bikes in NZ! Just meed more folding ones 😂
The thumbnail goes hard
love the chainring padlock bike! do they have a youchube channel?
think that white city bike is actually a front wheel drive ebike
I have seen front wheel drive conversion kits for sale for 20" bikes, looks like fun

I don't have room for an emountain bike anyway.... maybe ebmx?
@@dominictarrsailing I’d like to try building an ebike out of a cheap power drill, wonder if that would work?
@@hobocyclist great idea! often see those at the dumpshop. the battery will be the tricky part
