The Epic Stories Behind All of My Bikes

- I have some pretty sweet bikes. Two of them are hanging from my ceiling, they're my museum bikes with a lot of sentimental value. My Priority 600 gets used on a daily basis as my main commuter. The REEB Sqweeb is my new mountain bike and I love it, the Priority Coast is my cool, laid back cruiser. I'd have more, but I tend to give them away after certain adventures, and I've also had many bikes get stolen :(

Hope you enjoyed a look into my bike collection. How many bikes do you have in your tiny apartment? ;)
Only 4 + a park tool stand in the living room (aka the shop) haha!
4 as well! Will get a gravel/cx and a duel suspension at some point!
It's an RV & I have 3. 😆
3 plus the girlfriends bike makes 4 🙌🏼
You win!!
This is one of the most soulful and charismatic bike collections ever. Goes to show that you don't need a bunch of carbon fiber wunder-machines to have fun on a bike!
I totally agree!
Soundtallica in Chains I was reallyyyyy impressed with what this guy rode across the states.
It is amazing that you do more "road trips" with your bike than most people do with their vehicles. I just find that wonderful!
Ha!! Very true. Thanks for watching
Bikes are the greatest invention ever! Freedom, fun and great for the soul (and the planet!)
I agree 100%
I had my best experiences and adventures on Aluminium. It was not a Trek, it was a Focus Hardtail from 1999 what gave me years of joy. Until now I used lighter bikes and more advanced technique but I never had more fun than on that "old" reliable machine.
Your bike Collection looks very logical because every bike offers different ride-options and they really differ.
I've never really rode a bike, maybe to work or so, but after your video's I've purchased a trek and now going further then ever before.. I have now realised how beautiful my country is in Yorkshire instead of flying by it in a car... Keep turning them pedals 👊
Awesome! Glad to hear that you’re loving the bike life
Wow I'm surprised you don't have a collection of a high end expensive bikes. And that fact that you rode around the world just about on a cheap trek shows you don't need a few thousand $ in equipment to start bike touring. Kudos to you!!!! And thanks for being an inspiration :)
Yep, most bikes will do the job!
I rode my Trek 8500 through Europe in 1990 for 5 weeks. I need a belt drive. Thanks for the videos. Ian
Nice
A few years ago I gave one of my bikes away because the frame was too big for me. I had bought it used and planned for it to be my quintessential touring bike. But then life happened and I found somebody who had more need that I did so I just gave him my bike. Ryan, your message rings true!
Thanks for sharing your bike collection with us. I love the stories behind each one.
Just received my priority 600 the other day. Its awesome. I'm an Iowa bike boy (57 yo bike boy who gave up his driver's license in 2004 and went full bike) and I agree its the best ride I've owned since 2004, and its all thanks to you, Ryan, that I even knew Priority Bikes even existed. Its in the process now of getting all decked out for touring and personalized. Thanks again for your great videos. You are definitely a wonderful ambassador for the bike world. P.S. my wife's Priority Current will arrive in June '21, and she is very jealous that I got mine first. Peace!
Oh wow!!! I’m so excited for you!!! I wish you all the best, and your wife too, that Current is sweet!!!
That's awesome putting the two bikes that really started it all up on display, perfect conversation starters.
Absolutely awsome collection of bikes and even more incredible is your big heart. Your willingness to to help out others by sacrificing your own bikes is unheard of. Keep it rolling
WOW.. Love it.. Great video.. Love the Stories behind every bike.. I also believe you can bike on a budget.. bikes have souls.. we give it to them... Thanks as usual.. A Ryan video is always welcome... Makes my Day BETTER...
Nice collection of bikes you got there. I caddied all summer when I was 12 to save up enough money to by a Schwinn Varsity 10-speed. 50 years later I still love riding and love bikes. I currently own a Cervelo C3 and a Giant Fathom 29er. I commute 13 miles to work a few times per week on the Cervelo. I also have an ICG C5 spin bike for cold snowy Ohio winter days. Brine and bikes gears don’t get along.
Very nice collection and even better memories. Thanks for sharing. Take care and stay safe, Al
Fantastic video Ryan! I think you had fun making this video. Really liked seeing your Priority 600 setup particularly the Moloko Bar.
WOW this is amazing all the bikes anyone could want and need. I’m amazed by all the stories behind your bikes. Every bike we should all be used cause we get to experience the life.
I was riding a cruiser last year. Upgraded to a Trek Verve+ 2.
I sure do love Trek bikes♥🚲
Great vid. Keep em coming. I'll keep watching em.
Awesome stories for all your bikes! Love all your videos that I have seen. I am getting back into riding and have been training for my first Iron Horse but unfortunately they had to cancel this year. Stay safe!
Thanks for sharing your kind heart, passion for bicycle touring and taking the time out to show us cool possibilities. Truly I’m grateful to stumble on your channel.
I’m glad that you found my channel too!! Hope you’re doing well
I have "Only" 3 bikes and they are pretty new, that's because I moved so many times in my life and I had to leave the bikes behind. So many memories with differents bikes on different part of the world. Great video Ryan
Omg, I was crying watching your departure from Honduras! Your such an amazing person and the best channel on UA-cam!
That was an emotional day for sure
I loved the music bit when you were riding with one leg. Totally brought back memories of riding my bike while listening to Mike Duncan's the history of Rome
Thanks for your bike museum tour.
The story behind the Trek 8000 is absolutely EPIC!! You've got a great collection and happy to see you hang on to them. Cheers!
I agree! The trek 8000 is near and dear to me
Entertaining. Educational. Enjoyable. Excellent video Ryan.
Howdy Duuuuuuuzer!!!! Yesss finally - worth waiting a million years to get an in depth tour of the candy store! ❤️ stay safe, friend!
Glad I could finally provide!
Bought my Priority 600 in 2018 after watching your video about it. It is my favorite bike! So smooth and extremely low maintenance. I’m doing my first transmission fluid change soon that is a bit overdue. I got an e-bike last year and still gravitate to the 600. Thanks for sharing your bikes!
Right on! Glad you like it, such a great bike
I live in Japan and am studying bicycle and English.Your videos are so great that they show me the world at home!
B 7 great!! Glad my videos can help inspire you. Hope you have some fun adventures planned
I am so very impressed with your travels on a bike. Especially that you use low tech bikes and get the most out of them. You seem to have great resilience. I’m going to watch this again. Thanks so much
Thanks my man, glad you liked this video, it was really fun to make
Ah man, the death of the Trek.... It's a joy to ride an old bike & to keep it ticking. You can replace/upgrade every other part when it breaks but when the frame goes, it's time to hang it on the wall.... Or from the ceiling.
That was fun! Would love the rundown of stolen, given away, sold, and current. Love it! Collection over the years.
Loved this video. I’d be very interested in a video about your stolen bikes. I remember when they were stolen on Christmas of all days! Thank you for continuing to make great content even during a lockdown pandemic.
Cool. The Duzer Museum. Has a ring to it. Looks like you have a lot of fond memories attached to your Trek 8000. I can't get rid of my first proper bike also a Trek as I rode a lot miles on it too and had great adventures although it still works fine. Like you I now ride a much lower maintenance bike as my daily ride.
Thanks for making and sharing.
Every time I watch one of your videos I get motivated to go ride my bike! I just have a Nishiki hybrid now, and it has served me well but next year I plan to upgrade to a Giant or Trek.
Thanks for inspiring us!!! Now to go for a ride!
This is a great video. And I have never commented on ads before, but definitely clicked through to the LitSolar ad. That looks like a good product for bike touring.
Your videos are always great and inspiring. Great work!
You are amazing and such a motivator! Ride what you have and smile.🚴🏼♀️
That's right!
I love the trek maybe one day when my kiddos grow
Super, Super, Super Cool Video! Big Respect! Awesome stories and adventures! Thanks soo much for sharing! We need more people like you in the world!
Thanks my friend!
Great video, thanks for showing us the collection! Sorry about all of the stolen ones, but love that you give bikes away to those in need! I'm finally getting back into riding after a bit of a break, been riding since the early 90's. Current collection is a fattie full sus, a gravel bike for touring (Lovecycles pushed me into that purchase and I'm grateful!), my trusty road bike for when I want to go fast, and an old hardtail with the littlest one's bike seat, haha.
The Priority Coast is so dreamy!! Enjoyed this video, it’s so interesting seeing different gear & having components explained too, on top of all the fun stuff like looks haha rode my bright blue single speed today to a friends place for distance coffee, very thankful for the basket I added this year! :)
Baskets on bikes are key!!
Man dude you are a hero and don’t know it. Just amazing the stuff you do.
;)
You are amazing man. From time to time I think about riding my bicycles (get the most mileage out of a frame) until they break and this video proves it can be done.
Bikes last a long time!! The upfront cost can be a lot, but the memories are worth millions
@@duzer Indeed!
Nice collection , love the stories of all your bikes , keep in ridin.😀
SO Much More than bike collection blog I expected (that would have been nice straight alone), but another autobiographical awesome story!!!
Thanks buddy,I put some time into this one
Sweet collection! Thanks for the tour, friend! 🤙
You got it!
Amazing video Ryan!
I love your video, Ryan. Keep this up!!
I feel ya when you say when this quarantine is over on making a long trip. I am personally thinking of doing the Lewis and Clark trail. Don't know when that will be but it is going to happen.
The video we’ve all been waiting for 🎉
Boom! Ask and you shall receive...very belatedly
A great collection, with some great stories to tell.
Thanks
Hey man love your positive attitude no matter what life throws at you, keep cycling bro and stay safe🤙.
Thanks my man!
This guy is an inspiration
Great stories- thanks for sharing
Im happy to see you own a Priority Coast Ryan! I bought one about 2 years ago in the single speed as a little around town cruiser, super cool!
It's a great bike!
I thought touring on a fat bike would be difficult, but very doable. After hearing about your trip on the New Belgium, I realized that I'll actually be traveling in luxury! So many epic trips written on the souls of all your bikes, but that trip sounds INSANE to me! Thank you for sharing all of your beautiful stories! 🙏 I look forward to more!
Thanks, these bikes have a lot of stories to tell, that's for sure
Nice! Enjoyed looking at your stable of bikes
Thanks for watching!
Story is king and told a good story 👍. Really enjoyed this
Thanks my man! This was fun to put together, had to dig hard for that old honduras footage. Totally worth it. Call me next week, let’s catch up!
Cool collection! My husband and I have 3 bikes - one for me, one for him, and a fat tire ebike. Last one is pretty fun haha. I have that exact same Colorado logo sticker on our teardrop camping trailer! :)
“Leaving Esperanza”... leaving hope... bro, that is sad.
Great video, thanks for inviting us into that part of your life👍🏾
It's not sad, I've been back many times to Esperanza. Hope is always there
Ryan Van Duzer beautifully put. ✌🏾
I like the hair cut.. LOL Ryan, you're the best. Can't wait Covid to end and leave. Keep doing what you are doing. Too good.
Nice Collection Ryan, Your an inspiration to me Man. Great Footage..
I appreciate that! Hope 2021 is treating you well!
So cool you kept the original bike with all the patina!
Always!
I have 4 good bikes,Roubaix,MASI 1990,a real MASI I ride alot,Kona XC bike,Motobecane Gravel bike 2020....1976 Motobecane that was my dad's,200 miles on it,KONA 1 speed town bike. And a couple motorcycles. Bikes are us. I always keep pedal bikes in house and close to me. I wanna go bike camping and my gravel bike will do it! Your videos make me want to get out and go!
I’m on my fourth bike during my lifetime. My first, a Monark one speed, was stolen when I was around ten years old. #2 The replacement bike, from a Coast to Coast Hardware store called a Coast King - also one speed. I wore it out from miles and miles of hometown adventures which included riding the strip mine hills and trails on the outskirts of town. It wasn’t a bike for that type of riding, but I didn’t care. Bike #3, Centurion Super LeMans, twelve speed, I still have hanging in my garage. Very rideable still. It’s a combo racing and road bike that I outfitted to ride from CA to Illinois in 1982. And now my 2017 Rad Rover e-bike from Rad Power Bikes in Seattle. If you recall, I sent you a story several months ago of my latest short local tours in CA. Anyway, thanks for your “Leno Garage” tour. Time to go out for a spin right now.
Nice! Those are all great bikes. Happy trails buddy
Awesome video. Happy Thursday
Happy Thursday my man!
I’m riding my bike Ryan. You inspire me. Keep it up
Glad to hear it my friend!
This is a great video. And I have never commented on ads before, but definitely clicked through to the LitSolar ad. That looks like a good product for bike touring. Oh wow, did I already say that? Ok next I want to check out those local manufacturers. #notfromchina Loving that!
Hi Ryan: Fantastic bikes! With 3 speeds only thru the USA - you must be crazy! :-)
I'm having a TREK 6500 MTB. Rode it about 50'000 Miles. It's a good one.
GIANT Cadex CFM 1 (one of the early Carbon frames) about 150'000 Miles, cannot be killed.
But I really swear on CroMo steel bikes. My favourite: TREK 970. For me one of the best bikes ever built. An extremely good quality of frame.
Also very good: GT Cirque, Trekking/Touring bike, 28" wheels, CrMo steel frame.
I love bicycle brands with the big goal to build good or even the best bicycles on the planet. TREK, GT, SCOTT, GIANT (and others) are willing to do that. One can feel and see it.
But, people, you only need 1 bike that fits you - and just gotta ride it!:-) That's it.
The most important things are: Seating position, handlebars, also the grips, speeds and ratio, the brakes, the tires - and that the bike is not way too heavy. Cheap Shimano parts like Altus, Acera, Alivio, Claris.. are good enough for beginners and to try things out. Better a cheap front or rear derailleur than a bad quality of tires. Better good brakes and a cassette with only 6 or 7 speeds. Better the right speeds/ratio with cheap Shimano parts than an expensive groupset with the wrong speeds.
Have good rides!
Loved the video!
Hat tip to the bikes that have been paid forward. I’m lookin at you Luke’s bike and Baja bike.
Love it!
nice ride! thank u for sharing.
Thanks for the tour, Ryan, and the stories. Missing a Fat-bike and a Unicycle, lol.
Unicycle is in my future
Always a hoot Ryan, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you Ryan I loved the video!!!! Cheers from Tucson!!!
Thanks!
Ryan - great video and very inspirational. I'm sure the purpose of your volunteer work at PeaceCorps was to help the people of Honduras and make an impact on their lives, but in the end, I'm sure they made an impact on YOUR life. Keep pedaling my brother.
That is VERY true!! I have a big place in my heart for Honduras
I love all your bikes Ryan and your a nice person I consider you my friend
Thank you, Bobby!!
Hey Ryan! Cheers from Portugal! I'm a new subscriber, just finished binging the 2017 Baja series. Congratulations, the whole adventure is awesome, the gear (the 1120 looks so good), the drone views, the brutality of the riding.. It's very inspiring, makes me wanna get my bike all geared up and get out there! I'll be zapping through your older content, but looking forward for new stuff. All the best to you!
Hello my friend! Thanks for subscribing, I really appreciate it. That Baja series was really fun to create, have you seen the latest? I went back and did Baja this year. Hope you're doing well!
@@duzer Just saw the gear list. Going to start watching it later today. Take care.
I love all your bike's this is a nice collection ❤..
Watching this video because I've been trying to find the video of the 3 speed you rode accross the country. found it!
Didn't know that about New Belgium, thought they just made good beers.
Stoked to have found your channel, man.
I’m stoked too! Welcome. Hope you enjoy my content
@@duzer So far I know of 3 adult people, including myself, who live car less in the U.S. lol. 😁🤣
Let’s start a club ;)
Love your videos Ryan, keep up the great work! I mean it doesn't really seem like Work and I bet you would say the same. You mentioned you had a number of bikes stolen from you and I had a RM Whistler that I rode across Canada stolen form me and I got it back two years later. What a great feeling. Its still rolling strong.
Getting a stolen bike back is the best feeling ever!!
your three speed was something - had a guy from New York City come to our bicycle hostile late in the year as he was trying to complete riding around the world - he was more than half way there
Great bikes Ryan. I am fairly new to bikes and learning but love that priority 600 never seen a bike with a gearbox like that cool.
The 600 is my favorite bike!!
that was touching 2 years in the peace corp in a little village in Honduras. That isnt easy big hearted . I wish i had my old bikes. Some stolen. Some sold. Some broken as long as we got a ride!
Another GREAT video. Would love to hear the stories about the bike that were stolen. 👍😎🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️
Ouch with the crank arm, that happened exactly as well for me while starting to peddle on a green light in an intersection. Landed on my side like a boss, and still have the marks to prove it on my legs. Bicycle was only 3 years old at that time.
I really want a Priority 600, but I am a trike convert, it's tough to get more comfortable than with a recumbent, especially with a recumbent trike. I'd love to get the Catrike Dumont, doesn't get much better than that one, a full suspension recumbent trike. This whole isolation really wears at me and other riders, where we're used to riding every single day. Now we're in a position where we can't.
Great storytelling, Ryan! Haha, I had to do the one-legged pedal thing when I broke the pedal off of my Schwinn. out in remote Escalante, Utah Totally sucks but makes for a memorable day when you gottta dig deep like that.
No way! We’re the one-legged bike bros!
really glad i found your channel
Me too, welcome!!
Dude! You're a machine. Your sit bones must be made out of steel.
You could be onto something there. You know, come to think of it, I've never seen him bleed, lol.
Bro that is a cool story about you in Honduras great content... kept that mountain bike
Thanks! Honduras and that bike mean a lot to me
Hi Ryan; just discovered you on my computer. You're amazing! Really enjoyed your travel videos. Your videos are well done, interesting to say the least, informative, entertaining, and inspiring. I'm way too old to do what you do now. [ I'm 74 ] however I'm going to take your advice and do more bike touring with my wife. I'm not new to cycle/ touring; have bike toured the California coast, Hawaii, England, Ireland, Italy, France, Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland, Ragbrai, Goba, etc. etc.; so glad that I found you. keep up with what you are doing. If more people were like you, this planet would be much better place to live. My hat goes off to you!!! cheers, Harvey Sadowick from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
Thanks Harvey!! I really appreciate your kind words! I’m always trying my best to make this world a better place! Happy trails to you and your wife
Duzer bike check, heck yeah!!
That was awesome Ryan thank you
You’re welcome
The New Belgium story is great! I've got a couple 3 speeds... 1963 Schwinn Racer and a 2018 Raleigh Tourist. The 3 speeds see the most use around town, on local rural roads, and on various rail and canal way trails. The trails include the one you and Ali road from Kingston to New Paltz as well as the Erie Canalway.
I've got other bikes... dedicated touring and mountain bikes and I still ride my second mountain bike, a 1983 Trek 850 that I bought new. It was Trek's first mountain bike... or as they called it "rough terrain bicycle." The Trek 850 is the bike I did my first long tour on in 1986... over 3,100 miles. Both the bike and the notion of bicycling touring were rather novel back then compared to today! I've toyed with the notion of riding the East Coast Greenway from FL to NY on the Tourist... the coast is pretty flat and with the Empire State Trail I can avoid the mountains of PA (the way I went on my two previous FL to NY trips). It is a nostalgia thing as tales of early bicycle tourists often mention single speed and 3 speed bicycles!
I keep thinking that we may bump into each other somewhere on bicycles someday... If its around here I know where the best burritos can be had!
I’ll hit you up if I’m out your way again!
Ive had multi thousand dollar bikes in my life and my favorite is still a japanese single speed i got at a public bike auction for $15 in 1974. Great bike. I wish i could remember the make.
Yes. Have more bikes than I care to admit, some thousands for the frame alone. The one I've put the most miles on is a 1980 Fuji touring bike converted to 3 speed fixed gear that I found on Craigslist for $80.
