    I just wanted to thank you for making this video. As a straight guy, I am extremely confident that I am more than a little ignorant about journeys such as this. By choosing to share with us on your channel, hopefully, it will help to educate myself and others to be more compassionate and understanding. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

    We love you Ryan. In a world full of pretentious you tubers, your chanel has been a source of amazing content. May the tribe of RAD fa s grow. When I joined, this channel thee were 500 people, now 'we' are 15k!!!! To a 100k now!!!!

    So I'm just an average bloke, so I only have a faint idea of your struggles -- but I think that everyone should do whatever makes them happy, and everyone else should leave them to do so and support them. Good on ya (that's Kiwi for 'well done') for telling us anyway. Happy trails :)

    Congratulations Ryan. I am also a transgender man from Brisbane, Australia and have been medically transitioning for the past 17 months. Hope your journey goes well. This channel has inspired me to start doing bicycle vlogs. :)

  • @billy9185

    Congratulations Ryan :) This channel has been one of the best sources of knowledge and inspiration for me in my preparation for a world tour in 2023. It's been a staple go-to during lockdown. Thank you so much for that. This video is a completely new type of inspiring. All the best!! X

    @outbackwack368 2 роки тому +3

    Well said and well done! I'm 62 and have been tolerant of any gender my entire life. That wasn't taught, or learned... it's just how I felt... indifferent, but in a positive way. And LGBTQA doesn't bother me or matter to me in a negative way Our gay friends are happier, healthier, more fun and WAY more tolerant and respectful than most of our other friends. If ANY person AT ALL threatens me or my family directly, I will go RAMBO on them, regardless of how they identify. Other than that, I don't really care who you are or what you do with your life, as long as it does NOT bring harm to OTHERS. That is just plain disrespectful and should be dealt with accordingly. Make it a GREAT day!!!

    On this day that is dedicated to gratitude, I am grateful for YOU! I have become a big fan of the RAD channel and that is because of YOU. I wish you nothing but love and the best with your transition. It hurts that you have to deal with stupid comments. Love yourself and focus on those who support you.

    Congrats, Ryan. Welcome to the world of living as your true self. I am a 67 year old transwoman who is making my way back to cycling after a hiatus due to arthritis in the hands. I hope to be bike touring by the end of the summer. You and Darren provide some really helpful content.

  • @onenonlypirate

    Woot! Congrats on discovering more of you in this adventure of life! When I saw your FB post on coming out I wanted to reach through the interwebs and give you a giant bear hug! Yay to you!! You are adorable and Darin is so lucky to have you! (you are equally as lucky to have Darin along side you for this journey!)
    I have enjoyed many of your bikepacking/traveling videos and shared them with my better-half so much to the point that she *finally* wants to go car camping!! (13 years in the making!!) I look forward to your upcoming videos wherever they will lead you two. Thanks for being you. ❤️

  • @playandteach

    Hi Ryan, Just want to say that I'd no preconceptions prior to this video of your life / gender / choices and just came along for the the content and energy. And of course bikes. I really enjoy the buzz that you create with your videos. Of course I wish you well with what stretches before you, but I primarily view you both as individuals who are just really full of positive things to share - and hope that continuing to see you both as individuals with whom I have some shared values is perhaps the most straightforward way to offer my support.

You inspired me to go on a 3 month solo cycle tour of Europe that was just amazing and I was well prepared because of your videos. I have been back for a week and I’m itching to get out there again. Your personal journey has been as inspiring as your bike info. I look forward to continuing this ride with you!

Ryan has my support and admiration; he has my utmost respect. ❤️❌💯‼️ RAD On 🤘🏻

  • @P943044S
    @P943044S 2 роки тому +9

    Good for you... I hadn't given thought to the who of whom you were, that is not my place, a person is their own and it is only important for others to accept people for who they are and recognising the differences in others as valid life choices without baggage or judgment... Keep up the good work, it is only by promoting the normality and breadth of nature within the human condition that bias and hate can be overcome.

  • @phillbarnes2055

    This rocks! Caught you on an ACN stream once and this came up on my recommendations. I'm glad you are brave enough to say this. It's hard to find trans voices in cycling, and as a person who struggles with gender identity myself it makes me feel rosy inside to hear the words you've said. Sometimes it feels like there isn't a soul in cycling who's had doubts about their gender, so even one more is important.

  • @DaveStroble

    Hi Ryan.
    Wow, courage plus.
    I'm an old straight guy, I love your channel. You and Darrin are inspirational to me staying on my bike and hoping to get out for a tour one day.
    I'm have been staring at this screen for about 1/2 an hour trying to come up with a supportive comment that won't come off as me being a jerk (I'm not)
    We don't know each other but I have to say that I am proud of you.
    I think if we met we would be friends. I'm an introvert so it would be your crazy outgoing extrovert personality that would scare me more than anything else, but after a beer and some bike talk I'm sure that would go away too.
    Congratulations and you have my full support.
    My 6 year old grandson is identifying as female.
    He showed up to my son's wedding wearing a pink dress and a pink purse.
    Most of my family was a little shocked, some were horrified.
    I grabbed my "granddaughter", put her on my lap and gave her a great big hug and kiss.
    Hopefully, her journey will be a little easier because of people like you.
    Love ya.
