Fine, I'll show the garbage bike some love

Thank you all for the amazing comments on my previous video. I'm truly blown away. Let's talk about some of the most common sentiments and take up on the perhaps best bit of advice: maintaining a decent chain. If nothing else, just for the safety. I also install a clown style honking horn to meet the Swedish law requirements. Insert clown emoji.
And yes, I still ride fixie. More fixed gear videos coming soon!
Enjoy the video, fellow garbage bike enjoyers! //Addvurt

good man, i have fallen in love with my beater bike, its bound to happen, you look after the bike, and he
or she will look after you

[@addvurtbikes]

haha yeah, slippery slope is approaching :D

[@hello-lb3vf]

You are not going to believe this. After watching your previous video, I literally went on Facebook marketplace and bought a garbage bike. Thank you for providing me a solution for locking my bike outside for long periods of time. I used to take my road bike to grocery shopping, and I would get quite stressed that it would get stolen. Now, I don’t need to worry.

[@addvurtbikes]

my friend, that is the best thing I’ve heard all day! enjoy!

[@ingmar7364]

I love your chaotic energy

I have an old markenrad MARS that got passed down from my grandma. its a single speed SACHS coaster brake with 20" wheels, it also folds in half and has a full incandescent lighting with a dynamo. luggage rack and mud guards. i have a much more expensive bike but for some reason i always take the little "circus" bike. its very fun to ride. i gifted it with new period correct tires and tubes. Nice video.

Your garbage bike got a new chain, and I got back on the bike!
Only a brief 3 miles as a test but we outside!

[@addvurtbikes]

Yeeees! Finally! Take it easy but have a lot of fun!

I'm in a grey area with my fished up canal bike.
Even though I have thousands of euros worth of fancy bikes in my garage, I've started to almost exclusively use this one. It just always works and I don't need to care about it getting rusty or dirty ot damaged. And I really love it for that care-free experience.
Also the tyres on it are way too good, I just had them laying around and they're second hand, but they're still excellent fast Panaracer Pasela tyres. I love those.

[@iJerrrrrry]

your horn is amazing. would love one like that on my bike

[@addvurtbikes]

thank you my friend! just visit your local clown store :)

[@SandTheDoor]

that new chain needs tensioning to avoid it coming off, especially if there's no other brakes. just adjust the rear wheel in the forkend a bit further, should be enough space.

[@addvurtbikes]

thanks for looking out, bro. I’ll adjust if needed. chain will probably slightly elongate with time

[@porkchop1343]

“Garbage bike” lol😅

[@hananas2]

0:40 hey that's me :D

[@JeanMichelBreizh]

congratulations bro, you're on a garbage bike vid :D

[@ArjanGroe]

Commit to the bit; you did!

[@addvurtbikes]

Proud, master Yoda would be!

[@rainbowhiker]

I like your beater. Please don't kick it. Always makes me 😬

[@addvurtbikes]

Sorry about that. I was holding the camera with one hand and wanted to turn around the bike and start riding. Then I edited that part out anyways, so it was a bit unneeded...

[@Testbug-dy6tj]

Lol, I thought the same thing.
I'd be like, "OH Dear GOD, My RIMS And SPOKES!".

[@adrian_zombturtle148]

But comedy though

[@grougrouhh1727]

just get a recumbent

[@addvurtbikes]

those have to be kinda expensive, not really garbage bike material

[@cycleistic1365]

You should have reflectors front, side and rear, plus lights wouldn't be bad idea either, to be able to ride in darkening evenings and afternoons of the Nordic. Those are not actual upgrades even, they're just sensible safety features to help staying alive riding your bike. You can go find old reflectors from disposed bikes and basic LED battery lights found in supermarkets are cheap. You have needs to ride outside the daylight hours too, don't you?

[@phelippepx10]

Frankenbike is a term, alo a swap meeet in Austin texas.

[@addvurtbikes]

sounds spooky!

[@ola_vii]

They are also known as Ghetto bikes ☝🏻

[@addvurtbikes]

I would probably not call it that, but I get it

[@aeyde]

Can i steal it?

[@addvurtbikes]

good question. if I say yes, is it still stealing?

[@aeyde]

@@addvurtbikes it would be stealing with your consent

[@DerAppleMacFan1]

Don‘t call it GARBAGE Bike !!!!!!!!!!

[@addvurtbikes]

Sorry, too late to change it now :)

[@sleepydog4205]

i always have 1 or 2 throwaway bikes that i got from a friend or found at a junkyard

[@addvurtbikes]

life hack!
