Thank you for this video, it brought back great memories! I rode many of these routes while living in New Jersey and I was the freak riding my bicycle along the path from Bound Brook to New Brunswick as a Rutgers University student in the 90's. It was the highlight of my day!
Boulder CO resident here. Grew up in Princeton NJ, about a 1/4 mile from the DnR Canal and, of course, the tow path. Spent lots of time as a kid running around outside and canoeing on the Canal and tow path, cool to see it here, thanks!
Hi Ryan, thanks for visiting the D&L Trail! I’m real close to the Slatington trailhead at mile marker 92 and ride on it multiple times a week on the 600x, which I’ve learned you helped design. Glad you enjoyed it and are giving it some exposure - the system is unfortunately quite underrated around here.
I run and ride the D&L in Carbon, Lehigh and Northampton counties all the time(PA) I so love and appreciate the trail and all the hard work that went into it. Excited to see you on the East Coast Ryan. Welcome.
Glad your liked my home turf. We are lucky to have the D&L 146 miles of fun. You should try the Perk trail which runs 100 miles from Philly to Green Lane and you can go through Valley Forge park with rich history the next time you ride with the priority team.
Great to see you on my home trails! Love New Hope, and the food at that River House Odette's place is REALLY good. Can't wait to see how you like Jim Thorpe. I bet it was crowded!
Wow that’s awesome …that’s my home town ..wish I would have rhode with you guys that day … that trail is nice ..I rhode it from New Brunswick to the bridge in to Pa multiple times
The D&R also continues from Trenton up to Easton but on the NJ side of the river. With bridges every few miles, you can do a multitude of loop rides up one side and down the other. At the bridges are lovely small towns with coffee shops etc. Fantastic for those living in the area. [also its much easier going through Trenton on the NJ side of the river and you go past the Battle of Trenton (what Washington did after he crossed the river) memorial.]
My family is from the Yardley area, was just up there many times last year closing ourt my Aunt's estate. Got to ride from Yardley to the little town of New Hope. That canal path is beautiful! Side note, there was a massive storm right after we finished our ride. The canal overflowed in several areas and many cars got washed off the road.
You will see some of the most beautiful places in the country along that route. I too am from PA! The best state! I drive through route 29/611 a lot, just to be in the tranquility. Glad you could be here during the fall foliage. I am thinking about purchasing the Gemini too.
Ryan. Great to see you on the East Coast with your friends from Priority! I LOVED THIS VIDEO. You've done an awesome job cultivating the relationship with Priority bikes and have introducted their products to thousands of your fans like me. Make it a great finish to 2024!
I have been away from biking and UA-cam for 5 months now due to a nasty breakup and lack of excitement for life, but I was drawn back in by this video...thanks Ryan for bringing me back to a positive place in the world.
Hello, Ryan. I'm new to your channel. I watched the entire series riding Sweden north to south and your attempted at riding the 2024 Tour Divide from the start where I lived for three years, and thanks for the memories. I absolutely love your channel, mainly because of you, Ryan. A very kind and loving man whose outgoing personality attracts the love you receive along your journeys. Anyway, Ryan, you touched on something here and that is trails in America. I would so love to see you do a series of the many, many trails from canal to rails for us who can't do the adventurous trips that you have done. I'm 78 years old and have loved cycling for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately, my health cannot allow me to venture out on long rides, and even many of the trails I can perhaps do a few miles of pedaling. Like I said, if you could do a series on the various trails across our great land, I'm sure so many of your viewers, like me, would be so grateful. Keep pedaling, Ryna. I just love your channel.
Hey there! Ryan is the man isn’t he? If you are able I would look into the carnivore diet. It sounds insane to only eat red meat and animal foods but once I got over the conditioning of if not being good for you so much began to change. I wish you the best.
@@thenewwaveus1458 yes, he is the man. Looking forward to watching more of his videos. Regarding health. I was always healthy, especially in my youth, but as I aged things changed, and some of it was my fault which climaxed recently with a massive heart attack. They call it "The Widow Maker." So, for now I have to slowly strengthen the heart. After all, it is a muscle, and like any damaged muscle, it takes time, and I certainly don't want to rush it. As far as diet is concerned, I've learned that it's not a one size fits all. Some do rather well on a vegan diet, and some don't. Some do well on a carnivore diet, and some don't. Right now, I'm trying to work out what works for me, and so far, being balanced is working out. Thank you for your advice, and I'm glad the carnivore diet is working for you. I've tried vegan . . . NAH! I've tried vegetarian like Ryan . . . NAH! If down the road I find what I'm doing doesn't work out, I will give the carnivore diet a go. I'm open minded on things, and I will never know what works unless I try it for myself. Have a good day!
@@kelalamusic9258 I’m sorry to hear about your heart and I hope things get better for you. It’s nice to hear that you are open minded because people will disregard things without looking into it themselves. As far as diet is concerned it should be a one size fits all after all we are the same species. The variety of food humans eat is far too much and if you look at it plainly- 99.9 percent of plant matter is inedible to humans in the wild and all drugs alcohol are made from plants. Humans must grow and cultivate vegetables it’s is not naturally god given. Good luck and keep moving those legs and having fun.
@@thenewwaveus1458 I agree, one should be open minded. It should be one size fits all as we are of the same species as you mentioned. I can only go by what others have reported. A good example is a couple who are very close friends. Ira is mostly carnivore and is as healthy as a horse, yet his wife, Gloria, tries eating the same diet and constantly gets stomach issues. So now she is vegan and feels fine. Not being an expert on the subject, I can only go by what others personally say. But the only way I can know for sure is how each diet affects me. So far just being balanced works out better than full vegan or even vegetarian. And I will try the carnivore diet if after a while I feel the need to change. Yes, I will keep moving those legs. I'm certainly not going to allow a little heart attack to stop me, only when the heart decides to stop all together. Take care and keep moving yourself as long as you possibly can.
That's awesome. My wife and I just did the D&R Canal Trail in NJ to Frenchtown crossed over and did the D&R Towpath in PA back to the Washington Crossing bridge about 2 weeks ago. Such a great adventure. Next time you're in town let me know. We have a bunch of great routes we do like that.
Ryan, you’ve got to check out the Flint Hills Trail in Kansas! The scenery is absolutely surreal, with wide-open views that stretch for miles. And the adventure doesn’t have to stop there-you can ride the Flint Hills and connect to the Katy Trail for an epic rail trail backpacking adventure.
Hey Duzer, grew up in South Brunswick and spent my teens riding up and down the D&R towpaths! Small world, hope to see you again up at the Gold Hill Inn some time soon!
I love this series of videos. Those canal trails look amazing. We also have them in France and they're very popular for bike touring. This year I did a part of the Canal du Midi and then another canal leading to the Mediterranean sea. I love riding there in the spring.
I've ridden Riegelsville to Jim Thorpe. will be great to see it. Lehighton to Jim Thorpe just reopened. Can't wait to see what took all summer to build!
The last three weeks I have been doing different trails around the Salt Lake Valley. Utilizing the trax and tain system to get me to new places. I love this!!!!
I live in PA near PHL and am excited to see these wonderful trails highlighted as only you can do and gathered in one video to share with my friends! Well done sir.
Ryan, I'm so glad that you had a chance to experience the various towns along the D&R canal trail in Bucks county Pa,. It was so cool to see the Priority bike crew having fun on hometown trails. The fall scenery along with the covered bridges are stunning. The energy you guys also share is so inspirational. I rode the Erie canal trail across NY state a year back and it also has a similar historical charm and beautiful scenery. Well done guys, thanks for sharing your adventures!
Beautiful aerial fall colors shot with the riders beneath on the canal trail peeking out. Loved getting introduced to the Priority team along the way too. I’d so be in for something similar to this like a Ride with Ryan (and characters) in the future. Smaller scale than Ragbrai, but intimate like this. I’d even pay an event fee. 😊 Looking forward to the next episode. Ride on Ryan!
@@PriorityBicyclesNYC I'm so in! The Oregon Outback Trail in the spring is pretty rad. Like memorial weekend timeframe. There's also the Oregon Timber Trail...both are very dry deserty with pines. But we could also do some loamy PNW stuff too! The possibilities are endless! Let's collaborate!
Duze-Bestia, I just biked the D&L from Allentown to Bethlehem this very morning on my Priority 600X......and tonight I find out you were recently here on the same trail. I can't be my usual stoic self with all these feels of, dare I say it, Post-FOMO!!! 😅 BTW, That mexican restaurant in Frenchtown, NJ is such a phenomenal little gem. Another fun detour is the Sky Café at Sky Manor Airport.
I saw Team Duzer at Ragbrai 2024. I thought it was just another “Iowa” team. I’m planning to do Ragbrai again (hopefully 2025 and more!) and as my kid is getting older I want to do more and more bike adventures when on break as a teacher. Stumbled on this video and am now a subscriber, this is great!!!! Good commentary, good scenic riding video, great energy!!!! Can’t wait to watch, dream, and bike more!
Besides the city parts, that looked like crushed gravel goodness!! And a great time of year. Thanks Beans, looking forward to day 2 after the burrito slumber.
I love this location. Can’t wait to see more about the canal trails. I have family in Philadelphia and they ride bikes. We might be able to do some of this together. So cool ❤
Hey i saw you again on my feed after the ragbria video - this time near my neck of the woods. Been looking at Priority now I'm intrigued. looked like a great ride- come up and do the D &H canal route from Pa to Kingston NY similar vibe. Keep peddling. thanks
Ha. I guess the UA-cam algorithms work because i wasn’t looking for this video but it found me. I passed you on all my lunch ride just outside of my home town of Yardley and spoke to a few of you for a few minutes. Was on a Ti Carver gravel bike. I guess it was a week or so ago. Anyhow, safe travels, have fun.
What a nice place! Those trails by the river/canal reminded me of the bike paths along Willamette river, in Eugene Oregon. I used to cycle and run a lot there, and these trails you rode are very similar to them.
Oh! I ride this canal whenever I visit my Dad, I was there within a few days of when you shot this! That path is where I started riding my first hybrid in high school :)
Me and my friends have been going up and down the Delware - Lehigh and Delware - Raritan Canal trails for a few years now. Always such fun. lots of repairs since a few storms wiped put a bit of it in 2022 ! As a day trip for 50, a Gran Fondo or a Century the D&L or D&R have been amazing and well worth a bit of a drive from North Jersey to get to either! These tails and the Old Croton Aqueduct are the main trials we get to hit for our Gravel fix when not riding around NYC, Route 9 and the NY State trailways. Hope to see you out there sometime !
We have endlessly ridden these trails. River House at Odette’s in New Hope Pa. . We rode up to Jim Thorpe, Pa. from Hillsborough,NJ three years ago. Welcome Ryan!
Nice to see the rail trails that I'd only heard about. I went out there with a gardening group and the gardens were beautiful, Chanticleer, Longwood, Millfleurs, Paxton, Stoneleigh, etc. For such a densely-populated state, PA doesn't feel quite as crowded as the Denver-Boulder area does these days.
I just rode C&O 2 weeks ago and I loved it! it truly exceeded my expectations, and is an extremely accessible option for millions of people to get out on bikes. Highly recommend it to anyone, whether is your first trip or 100th. Looks like you had a blast!
Another beautiful video. Thanks. Gotta say I wish we had the rail-to-trail thing out of Boulder. Heck, even a quick weekend trip heading out of the house would be maybe Caribou, maybe Brainard, Camp Dick… the climbs you know are gorgeous this time of year, but, but, how sweet it would be to ride something flat along the water like that for a few days!!!
I get the love for rail trails. During our travels, my husband and I have now run two races on them and I'd recommend them for running or cycling. Bizz Johnson in NoCal and Palouse to Cascades trail east of Seattle
Who rolls down trails, rides well in pairs, flips over his handlebars? Who loves to snack, has hair on his back, its Jabba Jabba Jabba. He’s better than bsf, he's good!❤
Ha, the same time you were riding my wife and I were hanging out with our new friends. We meet them on a cruise in the Caribbean and there from New Jersey.
Gorgeous. Makes me want to quit my job so I can ride trails like that in the fall. Way better than my 95 degree days on the Empire State Trail this summer. I thought that Great Blue Heron was going to take out your drone. Careful with that “sky spider”. Looking forward to the next one.
I have had two Priority bikes, they simply are not efficient. It's hard to improve on the roller chain for cost efficiency and reliability. I use the paraffin based chain lube, so it's actually cleaner than the Gates belt. I do enjoy your videos.
Looks really beautiful, especially when the leaves were turning. Thanks for sharing this Ryan! Riding through the city though looks quite intimidating to me though, 😮 even at 5am.
We rode a loop of part of these trails yesterday. Beautiful colors and scenery and weather. We did a 22 mile loop from Washington Crossing NJ over the bridge to PA north to Centre Bridge and over the bridge to Stockton NJ the n south back to a Washington Crossing. There are loops you can do as short as 7 miles. Check out the Delaware and raritan canal park website for maps and loop routes

You rode right near my house and I’m so bummed I missed you! D&L in Bethlehem is one of my regular rides!
Most Saturday mornings we do a ride from Easton to Johnnys Bagels in Bethlehem on the D&L for coffee. Always a good ride.
Welcome to Pennsylvania. I ride that canal from Bristol PA to New Hope regularly. Some good restaurants in both towns.
Hi Ryan, thanks for visiting the D&L Trail! I’m real close to the Slatington trailhead at mile marker 92 and ride on it multiple times a week on the 600x, which I’ve learned you helped design. Glad you enjoyed it and are giving it some exposure - the system is unfortunately quite underrated around here.
If I’m not mistaken, I remember Eddie from Grove street bikes in Jersey City, NJ. Always super helpful
Good eye on that one! He's the best
I do a Bulls island - Reiglesville loop once per week. Beautiful scenery.
My home trail!!! I ran the D&R this morning! Sad to have missed you Ryan, I hope you enjoyed

Yes i recently rode the Perk and it was beautiful.
@@marysalmon2367 Glad you liked it.
Very underrated. Such a great ride
Thanks again for this video and the series, Ryan. Great East Coast scenery, and this video again is in the awesome "style" of Ryan Van Duzer 😎 ❤

Did the C&O/GAP on my Gemini back in August, what an adventure! I definitely want to do this one as well. Oh yeah, I absolutely love this bike!
You will see some of the most beautiful places in the country along that route. I too am from PA! The best state! I drive through route 29/611 a lot, just to be in the tranquility. Glad you could be here during the fall foliage. I am thinking about purchasing the Gemini too.

Great to see you on my go to….D&R Canal! Great seeing Lake Carnegie then on to PA at the D&L . Love, Love , Love It!!
Great to hear you were taking in the great trails on the east coast. Too bad I missed you. I love those trails. Thanks for sharing Ryan!!

You’ll see it on Sunday, so beautiful!!
Really enjoyed the different scenery
The last three weeks I have been doing different trails around the Salt Lake Valley. Utilizing the trax and tain system to get me to new places. I love this!!!!
Yay! Wish I had known. I have done the New Brunswick trail several times and love it. It would be so fun for me to meet you sometime. Haha
Shoot!! I wanna do this again someday and hope to invite more people
What a fun and beautiful ride! 😊
I live in PA near PHL and am excited to see these wonderful trails highlighted as only you can do and gathered in one video to share with my friends! Well done sir.
Oh man you are spinning right past my door practically. I live right off the D&L trail and get to jump out on it every week.
It’s so beautiful, you’re a lucky duck
@@duzer I grew up outside of New Brunswick too. I can't wait to see if you stopped anywhere in town here for snacks :D
Happy your showing the canal path in PA I ride it a few times a week. To bad there was no stream going in the one area. PA has great trails

BYOB for that restaurant, too, haha. The little cafe across the street is quite the surprise, too. Got a sweet-potato curry that was tremendous!
Love this type of trip. Excellent video Duzer.
Yes agree, no more racing or trying to meet a deadline. Nice and relaxed. Life is hectic enough.
I saw Team Duzer at Ragbrai 2024. I thought it was just another “Iowa” team.

This is the kinda bike packing adventure I want to do more of
Pennsylvania is my wife and my favorite place to ride rail trail. Piney river trail last yr. Was absolutely beautiful. Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania.
I wanna visit that area!
Hey i saw you again on my feed after the ragbria video - this time near my neck of the woods. Been looking at Priority now I'm intrigued. looked like a great ride- come up and do the D &H canal route from Pa to Kingston NY similar vibe. Keep peddling. thanks
Looks like a GREAT AREA
Ha. I guess the UA-cam algorithms work because i wasn’t looking for this video but it found me. I passed you on all my lunch ride just outside of my home town of Yardley and spoke to a few of you for a few minutes. Was on a Ti Carver gravel bike. I guess it was a week or so ago.

That’s a solid crew right there 🤙🏼
What a nice place! Those trails by the river/canal reminded me of the bike paths along Willamette river, in Eugene Oregon. I used to cycle and run a lot there, and these trails you rode are very similar to them.

That was so fun to watch! Love it. The colors rival Colorado, but Boulder rules!!! Nice video man!
Oh! I ride this canal whenever I visit my Dad, I was there within a few days of when you shot this! That path is where I started riding my first hybrid in high school :)
Me and my friends have been going up and down the Delware - Lehigh and Delware - Raritan Canal trails for a few years now. Always such fun.
lots of repairs since a few storms wiped put a bit of it in 2022 ! As a day trip for 50, a Gran Fondo or a Century the D&L or D&R have been amazing and
well worth a bit of a drive from North Jersey to get to either! These tails and the Old Croton Aqueduct are the main trials we get to hit for our Gravel fix
when not riding around NYC, Route 9 and the NY State trailways. Hope to see you out there sometime !
Eddie is da man!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loving the trails - look similar to the ones I ride here in the UK!
The east coast seems to have so many good rails to trails rides. Here in Oregon there isn't much. On the Oregon coast there is nothing like this.
I run the trail in New Brunswick all the time. Thanks for the video.
Also, this just makes me want to work for Priority!
Very familiar with these trails. Appreciate this video beyond words!
They’re so beautiful
We have endlessly ridden these trails. River House at Odette’s in New Hope Pa. . We rode up to Jim Thorpe, Pa. from Hillsborough,NJ three years ago. Welcome Ryan!
Jim Thorpe is such an awesome town!
Nice to see the rail trails that I'd only heard about. I went out there with a gardening group and the gardens were beautiful, Chanticleer, Longwood, Millfleurs, Paxton, Stoneleigh, etc. For such a densely-populated state, PA doesn't feel quite as crowded as the Denver-Boulder area does these days.
It’s such a beautiful area!! I wanna go back
I'm glad you made it out of Jersey alive!!
I lived in
Pequonnock where I am from
Take care, Garry

It gave me life!!
I just spent a week riding various rail trails in PA - I hit 9 different ones - it was great! :) Autumn is a wonderful time to ride!
I just rode C&O 2 weeks ago and I loved it! it truly exceeded my expectations, and is an extremely accessible option for millions of people to get out on bikes. Highly recommend it to anyone, whether is your first trip or 100th.
Looks like you had a blast!
I love that trail!!! Glad you got to experience it
Thanks for highlighting some east coast trails!Being from Maryland we don’t get a lot of love.Great trails just not long epic ones.😊
I can not help it I smile and enjoy every time you create a new video THANKS
Aww, I appreciate you
Wow you were in my neck of the woods! Thanks so much for showing how beautiful it is. Come back soon!!
I love your backyard!!
Another beautiful video. Thanks. Gotta say I wish we had the rail-to-trail thing out of Boulder. Heck, even a quick weekend trip heading out of the house would be maybe Caribou, maybe Brainard, Camp Dick… the climbs you know are gorgeous this time of year, but, but, how sweet it would be to ride something flat along the water like that for a few days!!!
What a beautiful route! You're inspiring me to get my bike out next time I have a day to myself
Go for it!
I get the love for rail trails. During our travels, my husband and I have now run two races on them and I'd recommend them for running or cycling. Bizz Johnson in NoCal and Palouse to Cascades trail east of Seattle
Love these types of trails!!
Who rolls down trails, rides well in pairs, flips over his handlebars? Who loves to snack, has hair on his back, its Jabba Jabba Jabba. He’s better than bsf, he's good!❤
Ha, the same time you were riding my wife and I were hanging out with our new friends. We meet them on a cruise in the Caribbean and there from New Jersey.
Thanks Ryan
Great Video ! Thanks !
Glad you liked it!
Happy utube suggested this because it's my environment. I do find it hilarious that you have such a fancy bike but anyway, happy trails! ❤
You live in a beautiful area!!
@@duzer do you use Strava or ride with GPS? Would be cool to follow you.
Gorgeous. Makes me want to quit my job so I can ride trails like that in the fall. Way better than my 95 degree days on the Empire State Trail this summer. I thought that Great Blue Heron was going to take out your drone. Careful with that “sky spider”. Looking forward to the next one.
Heyyy I made this trip (DL canal) a couple of months ago. Great trails.
I have had two Priority bikes, they simply are not efficient.
It's hard to improve on the roller chain for cost efficiency and reliability.
I use the paraffin based chain lube, so it's actually cleaner than the Gates belt.
I do enjoy your videos.
That’s cool! As long as you’re riding bikes and loving life, you’re good in my book
Looks really beautiful, especially when the leaves were turning. Thanks for sharing this Ryan! Riding through the city though looks quite intimidating to me though, 😮 even at 5am.
Amazing path. We have fantastic trails in Portugal, but not like that!
These are pretty special
Man, I was on the Pine creek rail trail this same time. I was contemplating the D & R trail, had I done it I may have seen y'all!
Darn it, so close!
Ryan, you make the magic happen buddy!!!
Those trails look inviting, compared to the relentless climbs out here. And very cool to see the Priority team and Jaba. Another great one.
Thanks!! We had a blast
We rode a loop of part of these trails yesterday. Beautiful colors and scenery and weather. We did a 22 mile loop from Washington Crossing NJ over the bridge to PA north to Centre Bridge and over the bridge to Stockton NJ the n south back to a Washington Crossing. There are loops you can do as short as 7 miles. Check out the Delaware and raritan canal park website for maps and loop routes
