Love picking up things on my bike--groceries included. I'm more of a backpack kinda guy but the Vincita looks pretty good. LOVED the tour of the grocery store thanks!
I use my bike/s for as much as I can. It's pretty cold where I live right now though (just north of London in the UK) I document some of my 2 wheeled adventures on Instagram: @pikesbikez
I just started biking to work and buying groceries and it's so amazing but the infrastructure here is not good. I wish things were safer so others can have the courage to bike as well.
For been a more affordable grocery store option, that place looks really nice and well stocked. Affordable grocery stores around my place are not as good.
Hello again from Rob in Thailand. 😊 I first watch your UA-cam videos on my Play Station on the TV but can not comment there. So I followup on my smart phone to make any comments. I really have enjoyed your grocery shopping segment as well as the bicycle shops visits. These educational videos give all of us a deeper insight and understanding into actual living conditions in real time. So interesting and definitely a great approach. Thank you both once again!! Warm regards from the Allens in Hua Hin, Thailand. 😊😎😊👍👍👍
Love watching your grocery trip videos and seeing all of the unique food items, especially the fish! You'd be surprised, In areas of America the best places to go shopping here nowadays are foreign owned discount grocery chains like Lidl and Aldi. Hope to see more food related content soon!
@@TwoWheelCruise Someone once abandoned a bike at the Meijer where I live for 6 weeks. It was unlocked, perfectly working, and not once was it stolen. Eventually the police took it away after no one claimed it (after that 6 weeks). For how crazy bike theft is in America sometimes, Meijer seems to really look out for their parking lots. I felt a lot safer leaving my bike out there after noticing that one never got stolen.
Great video. Some differences between this and the UK. Your bike would have been stolen without being locked up. We have many more bulk buy options. UK supermarkets are making a start on using less plastic. This shop seemed to be a sea of plastic. Assistant takes your money. Huge proportion of card transactions rather than cash. Interesting to compare. Cheers 😊
I live in Germany and I was shocked that Thuong didn't locked her bike XD it would be not there anymore if she would live in cities like Berlin or Düsseldorf.
@@TwoWheelCruise :d Wow that's genius! But wouldn't it be easy for other people to easily carry it around? Since it is not really locked on anything else
@@TwoWheelCruise i drink it on the evening after a Long bikeRide. Just a little bit of Gin, think about the ride and enjoy the evening. Simple life but great 🤩👍🏻
I always ride shopping with my two Ortlieb bags. Very convinient wiht the weight on the back of the bike. But these Vincita Bags look way cooler and more elegant. Especially on Thuongs arm. :)
Nice kickstand, it'll be a nice option if I can't get a bike with to single bolt mount by the crankshaft. Had a dual sided one to keep the bike vertical and not to lean to a side. Used them because when I had a heavy bag, the side stands would fail. I forgot what they were called.
Great video! Those dishes looks delicious. Thanks for showing us around the local grocery stores. I can't believe how much cheaper the prices are compared to a grocery store inside a busy mall. I'll be sure to find and shop at those local grocery stores the next time I visit japan.
Great episode, loved the grocery item comparisons. You are correct, most items were much less expensive than where I live in New York. Your lunch looked amazing too! Hope we get a few recipes in the future.
This is really lovingly made video and a good cultural insight. I think I would find it hard in Japan though, as I prefer to make my food just out of raw ingredients, I try to avoid boxes and packets, if I can help it.
I use my trusty ol' Louis Garneau MV Cargo with a huge basket installed in the back. The front basket is attached to the head tube, so does not affect steering at all.
Japan need to have some kind of promotion, or 'combined export' - some of products seem to be very well thought through, but they do not reach EU, US. I think that there is a lot to be done on that front! Really.
Inflation and the fact that the US no longer makes more than trouble in the world have priced bicycles beyond their utility, especially in a country like the US where the roads are owned by automobiles and you bike at your peril.
Seems like your bikes are safe locked up outside the market. In many places around the world, bike theft occurs very often, and that's one reason why many cyclists don't use their bike to go food shopping, especially in big cities and college towns -- but getting your bike stolen can happen anywhere. I look forward to the day when parking your bike is as safe everywhere as parking your car.
I use my bike packing Ortlieb panniers when I go to the market. However, I do like that these are insulated. Spring rolls! Yum! Ok, now I'm going to be that guy. The second the video started, I heard my mom's voice: "If your bottom touches the bike, a helmet goes on your head." My mom saw me w/o my helmet once. She told me to put my bike away and didn't let me ride for a week. I don't want anything happening to you guys. Please wear your helmets.
Everything - but everything - is plastic wrapped. One thing I have noticed on holidaying in Japan is the enormous amount of superfluous packaging. Get a takeaway coffee and it comes in a holder placed in a paper bag with packaged sugar and a plastic spoon wrapped in plastic and then all put in another plastic carry bag. Hard habit to break but it is so wasteful especially as soft plastics are very difficult to recycle. Hope the Japanese recycling system is dealing with the waves of container plastic. Even here in Australia I have seen individual bananas and oranges wrapped in plastic. Huh? I thought they were already wrapped. Great video again. Thanks for the vicarious adventures!
@@TwoWheelCruise in our state in Australia the government banned single us plastic bags for packing groceries. The public outcry was horrendous. One would have thought their right to walk in the open or breathe had been taken away. People are very resistant to change so it will take a long time to wean consumers off these destructive habits.
It’s been a long time since I shopped by bike. We’ve been getting weekly grocery deliveries since before the pandemic and that worked great in the last year. I did once use my Brompton in shopping cart mode to get a few things. But I doubt I’ll do that regularly even after the pandemic is over unless the area becomes bike friendly. At the moment we have speeding cars and that really doesn’t work with the narrow sidewalks.
@@TwoWheelCruise Only real issue is they still use diesel vans. Would be awesome to see a company be bold and introduce groceries by cargo bike. Or at the very least electric vans.
Thank you for showing us more about life in Japan in a bike-relevant way! P.S. TWC, have you thought about meeting up with Rides of Japan?? He's a foreign bike nerd in Japan who makes amazing YT videos.
Interesting bag. I used panniers for shopping until I got a Wald basket, but I have mine on a rear rack for the same reasons you've gone over in the video. I might have to order this if the insulation works well. It should work just as well in a basket as on a rack
Nice bag/bike gadget. The food looks delicious. Has there been any promos for the Tokyo Olympics Summer Games yet? Thanks for sharing you two...😃👍👌👊🚴♂️🚴♀️
Pick pocketing made easy with that side pocket.. wouldn't use it for wallets or phone. This bike looks pretty cheaply build.. I am pretty sure that wouldn't handle well changing weather or seasons. A couple culture things; the amount of plastic in shop is staggering! And as always; polite behavior gives me again smiles.. showing the right way to cycle by worker. :)
That's a good point! Lots of people here walk with their wallets sticking out of their back pockets 😂😂😂 This bike is actually really durable. We've been using it 3 years without any problems.
Great video. I like those machines at the end of the counter so you won't have to hand money to the clerk. America needs to get those and then again it probably won't work because after they get their groceries they will just bolt for the door smh. Loved seeing your wife cook some of the food. Also it is cool to see what kind of food other countries sell besides the typical US junk.
Hi what a nice you guys had I wanted to know what is the name and model of the bike your wife uses ? Iam trying to get one definitely buying the bag too
One reason why we enjoy your vids us because they remind us of our Japan trip in 2019...btw...is the grocery bike is left outside because the seatpost is rusty?
Can someone answer this? Besides Chinese and vietnamese which other country/ cultures also celebrates Lunar New Year? Japanese? Thai? Laos? Korean? Phillipines, ect.
At the start of the video, how did she lift the bicycle pedal like that? I saw someone did the same thing this morning and it left me wondering.. is it a special type of shoes or bike accessories, or is there a technique and we can always do that?? I'm guessing it's a rotational force, but when I try to copy her motion the pedal just won't lift that far (best I can do is to lift it up to 0 degree).. could it be that the chain is well lubricated? lightweight pedals? or does the type/size of bikes matters?
Damn that bread is cheap. We have some cheap brands but mostly 168-298 per loaf. But it's Okinawa too so it's a bit more pricey down here but still cheap.
Been waiting a year now to hit Sapporo, buy bikes with my mate then cycle as far west as possible, have been given 5 weeks off from the misses, so once the world starts spinning, back to the wonderful Japan. (I climbed fuji last year, sea to summit in flipflops) this time, flipflop cycling across japan. lol Had a question - firstly, of course, wonderful channel man, you speak Japanese your living the dream and you have a successful channel, very very cool. I just wanted to ask a semi random question - in a previous video you made about Tannus Airless Tires - did you have them shipping from somewhere to you whilst you were there? I'm assuming once I hit Sapporo its not going to be a regular item in a Japanese bike shop, is it worth me trying to get them before I arrive? The only issue then being, what size bike would I get. lol. Just wondering what way you got them basically. Thanks for the amazing content mate! stay safe.
@@TwoWheelCruise so what those are street only? that ain't safe at all. so what do you suggest i do since i want to get back into bike riding again as a way to get in shape?

About 27 kilometres from my home
And i really enjoy it

I use Vincita panniers before, when I was still biking to work. I like them because they are water proof.
I want to live in a society where everybody shops by bike and I don’t have to feel like a weirdo for doing it
Lol I hear ya! I have a severe anxiety disorder, so I don't drive. I depend on my bike and public transport.

Here in the US you could never leave your bike unlocked. Nice video.
Thanks! 👍
love the fact we get the full experience........not just the cycle but the life style
Love the cycling/lifestyle content! Hope you guys have a great day!
Thanks! You too!
well, i mostly agree, but when you get like 42 C that AC in a car is quite helpfull
Bicycle is the best way to go where you want easy, fast and enjoying the ride.

She's got the right idea with that step thru frame for grocery shopping. I'm about to switch over to that because I have a big basket on my rack.
Serious cooking going on at the kitchen. Many stuff in the kitchen, maybe a good idea for future content about cycling nutrition.
Always lots of cooking going on here :)
I shop by bike every chance I get; I'm lucky that my area has better bike infrastructure than most other US small towns I guess.
awesome!

Thanks man! Hope it serves you well!
You two are so lucky. Things here in the US are deteriorating-wish I could join you.
Oh wow this is my neighborhood:) I saw there was a Vietnamese grocery store in Nataka, near Imaike the other day. You guys might like there:)
My panniers, racks, mudguards, handlebar bag for both of my touring bikes are Vincita which I bought in Thailand.
I was just looking at this Pannier on Amazon Yesterday. what great timing. Thanks for the review. If I buy it I will use your link

I love Porsche So So So Much
she's a stunner
We have those Chips called Japota (Joint venture betwee Calbee and Wings food).. And the honey butter flavored chips tasted really good..
5:21 when Thuong said "no" I could _hear_ her grinning under her mask 😉
This is really lovingly made video and a good cultural insight. I think I would find it hard in Japan though, as I prefer to make my food just out of raw ingredients, I try to avoid boxes and packets, if I can help it.
I have similar panniers on my mamachari.

She will make a video on her channel with the recipe next time she makes it ua-cam.com/video/XB2qY6Bz8AI/v-deo.html
The food looks soooo yummy. I had dinner already and I'm salivating :P Do you eat like this most days?
