I agree. Thuong San is so down to earth n humble too. A northern Vietnamese with good manners. Cruise is a lucky man indeed.. 🙏 I love their couple videos.. keep up the good work
That was nice to watch, it always makes us feel like we are there with you. And when you was talking about housing and pricing, and said enough of that this is about cycling, both my wife and I said in unison "no we're interested" we enjoy you discussing life over there, and love you pointing out this to the left and that to the right, it's so interesting and informative. Watching these nice long rides and listening to a human voice has been helpful in getting us through this period of lockdown and limited travel here in our little part of the UK. And for that we thank you. Plus it inspires us to get out on our bikes. Although to be fair we don't need any excuse to get out cycling, we love it.
i just LOVE those videos of other people riding bikes in the world! It gives me an oppertunity to see other countries i didnt see yet and by the slow pace of a bicycle. Thanks for your video's! greets from the Netherlands
Another nice video. My wife now uses her bike to get to work, too. Her commute is a tad bit shorter than mine, but not much (round about 5km for a single way). She's a doctor working in a hospital, so she doesn't get to sit around as much as I do (software developer, I sit around all day. You where talking about sitting around in one of your other work commute videos), but she too appreciates the extra workout even a short bike ride gives you. It can be very relaxing to just enjoy the scenery. It's not possible in a car, because you have to be aware of the traffic at all times.
Thanks! Some days I sit in front of a computer all day (I do some web dev work), so it feels especially nice to ride on those days. Especially the ride home after staring at a computer screen all day..
I commute with my road bike in Shanghai every sunny day. Just 20km for a whole day . I love Japan.I've been to Japan for 12 times. I love to ride on such roads in Japan every day. Thanks for your videos!
Just found your channel. So cool to see someone bike in another country and speak our language. I subscribed, cant wait to enjoy more videos. Thanks for making them and keep them coming. Youre inspiring many to keep cycling. ✌😎
wow!! when i came across this video on my recommendation, i played it and heard you speak english very well and you started talking to your wife in japanese im like wow!!! i knew i had to subscribe immediately plus your channel is about bikes which is nice good keep up the work. keep those videos coming and now im going to watch your other videos. edit: im also new here so hi!!
Two Wheel Cruise wow your wife is cool too you both can speak japanese which is useful in japan thanks for welcoming me waiting for more and currently watching your new video!
Another great video! It's very sweet that you supported your lovely wife on her new commute. If I had a route similar to that one, I'd consider commuting by bike as well, but sadly my route is way too sketchy for me to want to risk it! It's even sketchy in the car sometimes! Cheers from Toronto!
Awesome bike paths, such a shame no one else seems to be using them...! In London they use the same blue paint for the "cycle highways," but there are thousands of users...
@@TwoWheelCruise Yes in the past two years I've been running front and rear lights during the day as well. Too many distracted drivers and pedestrians especially in NYC where I'm from....I can tell you that a flashing white light in the front gets people's attention during daytime. The more visible you are the safer you will be while cycling.
That's one of the best things of doing this, being able to share our life with friends and family who are far away. "Online family" of course as well 😀
Hey from Vancouver, British Columbia. You have such a positive attitude and it is refreshing and such a pleasure to watch your cycling videos. What bike computer would you recommend?
i like how clean the streets/cycle path are in Nagoya Toyota Motown and that the green country side is just a turn away. What is your average speed on the flats? i think the average auto traffic speed in the city is less meaning safer than other countries where speed seems to rule reducing your margin of safety. thx for posting
It's pretty amazing how quickly you can escape to the countryside from a busy road. Her average speed is usually 17-25km/hr, but hard to say with all the lights
The Toyota Car Museum is very nice. You can see many cars and best of all you can visit the actual factory and watch cars being made. However you can only take pictures at the showroom. Inside the factory you’re not allowed to record video or take photos. Visiting is free, but you have to make a prior online reservation.
Wow Thuong looks like a climber. Following her looked like it was trying to stay on Alberto Contador's wheel. (I haven't watched the mountain climb vid yet - that's next)
Please consider a rear rack for commuting. I have one with a plastic bin roughly 5*12*15 inches that I bungee cord stuff into. Gets the stuff off your back. Love the commutes, and if you go to IKEA take your bike trailer. You'll need it
Cruise! I also love cycling and hope to have an extended Japan visit in the near future! love your videos and i hope to be able to meet you one day, and maybe even have a ride with you and your awesome wife! Cheers!
she's has mastered riding clip-less really well!! and TAMA!!! I've been there. it's super interesting! and there are a couple of secret/privet rooms with out of rotation cars. they have a nice gift shop and cafe with model kits/toycars/magazines.

@@dalezapple2493 ride safe as well brother....I believe that "they" will only realize a cyclist was there after running them over lol....I have more close calls in crosswalks and parking lots than the actual road.....astonishing.
That commute looks awesome. For us, in Nairobi, we have no dedicated cycling lanes. Today my husband and I tested my road bike to my office, its 9km and takes 1.15 hours...might take some getting used to, buy cycling groups are advocating for cycling lanes in the city, to keep cyclists safe. I'm longing for that...
Fun video! Seemed like a pretty long commute, but actually, it was only around 3 miles. Maybe it seemed long because the route was rather dull, nobodies fault. Still, it was an interesting commuter video as it showed the actual trip - nothing fancy, like stopping for food or coffee. Interesting how that part of Japan looks like it could be almost anywhere - parts of Australia, Canada, Holland, and even the U.S. - except for the long sidewalk bike lanes.
please visit the Toyota museum one day (even though its off subject) . I really liked the 90s Celicas and MR2s (I bought one from Nagoya) . That was the golden age of cars for me .Now I only drive my car once a week for about 15 km to keep it fit ;-)
Beautiful ride, but kind of a cloudy day. Is there a bicycle speed limit when doing urban cycling, have you heard of anyone get a citation for not just speeding but unsafe riding. I’m still not used to seeing passing on the right side.
The only guy I know who can ride a Mamachari up a hill is Onoda Sakamichi from Yowamushi Pedal. =P Whenever there's a lot of pedestrians on the sidewalks, how do you deal with it while biking on the same path? Do you wait patiently as they cross or do you shout to get their attention to have them clear a way for you? In my case, I have bells installed on all my bike so whenever I'm in such a situation, I give them a repeated warning ring but it might not work if they're wearing headphones and in such case, I just have to wait patiently for them to cross or if possible, I pick up my bike and walk around them until I get to the front of them. For some reason, I avoid doing my high pitch whistle with my mouth or even shout because I just find it embarrassing or perhaps rude to do it but that's just me.
Don't know how he does it 🤔 It's technically illegal to alert a pedestrian on a sidewalk when you want to pass since they technically always have the right of way. I might just wait or say sumimasen, or hop on the main road, or use my squeaky breaks 😅
They are only legally allowed to be used in emergencies as far as I know, not that anybody really enforces that. The whole idea of a bell goes against their whole meiwaku/harmony thing
13:15 after you take the left off the main road. Should warn people about those open drains, everywhere in Japan to trap the unwary salaryman after a visit to the izakaya!
It makes me wonder if the commuting market is underserved with options. Like a low maintenance road bike you can ride on a short, hilly commute. I guess there are flat bar options but no drop bar ones.
Two Wheel Cruise Yeah I agree it would be a bit silly on pure road bikes. Maybe do that just on a drop bar bike with hub gearing or something. I think they do Alfine with road shifters. You never see it anywhere though.
I rewound three times and all I could here was, "We've got some mini fits-all courts here. It's too early in the morning for anyone to be there." I'm fairly confident I heard it correctly so it must be something I've just never heard of before. What is a "fits-all" court?
Riding on the sidewalk in Tokyo is dangerous on a road bike! Doesn't matter if there is a designated bike lane, the people walk in it. Even when the pedestrian lane is open. I commute on the main roads with traffic lights. I avoid all sidewalks and roads without traffic lights. The pedestrians and cyclists on "shopping bikes" do not follow any road rules here in Tokyo. The cars are much more safe!
Same here, ride on the road as much as possible. The road is easier to ride sometimes as everything are flowing... except the taxi here and the passenger that have the bad habit. The passenger often call the taxi wherever they want, and the taxi likes to stop on the mid of the road to pick up. Some times the taxi didn't even care about the cyclist riding along, I almost crashed with the taxi when they stop for picking up passenger a few times.
Agreed that the sidewalks are usually much more dangerous. Lots of cars will pull out right into the cycling path without stopping or checking for traffic :/
Wow! What a commute. Some pretty countryside. I need to get a road bike myself. I have a heavy 2010 Trek Nav. 3.0 and I hate it. I should had heeded the reviews but bought it anyway. But I don’t commute to work on a bike anymore because I am only 10 blocks away and my job requires me to have a vehicle. Happy 🚲ing
Hi! I Love how informative your videos are! Can you tell me what the average speed (in km/s) you two are pedaling at in the video?? Is it very unsafe to bike on the road in japan?
Hey cruise, another very interesting and well made video, I have watched quite a few cycling around town videos by other people but so far yours are way better made and produced than the others, thanks for doing this. Where do you position your camera, is it on some kind of chest rig or on the bike ?
Thanks! Very happy to hear that, I've been practicing a lot to get to this point. It's honestly just a plain chest mount, no gimbal, combined with a conscious riding style
These aren't protected at all.. Lots of businesses along the way with cars pulling in and out without checking for bikes.. Really dangerous in the evening, but thankfully most of them are still closed in the morning so it's not bad then
@@TwoWheelCruise well got a touring bike!! . Gonna try USA , bed and breakfast credit card tour, see how that goes. . But looking at that film is fascinating.
Hay cruise . Im a toyota mechanic in australia would b good to see that museum clip one day. I went to Aichi toyota kaikan last Feb. Going to akita for language course this aug . One day I will get back to Nagoya to see the museum.😎👍👍
Hi. I love your videos... I recently bought a Road Bike and been using it for commuting to work. Is it necessary to wear a jacket while commuting? Is it for visibility? Or any other reasons?
Must have been told before but it is quite the progress for humanity in general when an American uses metric terms :P But anyhow what a fun life. Nagoya looks like an amazing city and quite the life you have there
Is it really safe to cross all those side streets without checking over your shoulder each time!? In Sydney, you'd last 5 mins if you're lucky, green light or no green light!! I suppose if that's how quiet rush-hour traffic is then then chances of someone coming round the corner is lower but I'd like to see her look :-(
@@TwoWheelCruise isnt there a power transfer and hotspot issue? especially when you ride 100k+ But if you say so since you are have more experience in cycling, ill stick with my mtb shoes. Thanks Cruise! :)
that difference in power transfer only matters really if you're racing. I feel more comfortable overall on the longer rides with mtb shoes since I can walk around easier. I personally don't notice any hotspot problems that differ between the two. Definitely feel faster and more secure with road pedals though
Thanks cruise, now I have no reason to buy road shoes and pedals. Ill invest to power meter and decent head unit so numbers can really tell me what is really going on betwen road/mtb shoes latter Once again thank you :)

Thanks for the bike lane explanation! :) Interesting to hear bells are impolite to use in Japan, and here I am considering installing an air horn.
Don't consider the air horn, if you think you need it, just Do it.
lol, I find a "sumimasen" usually does the trick
Is it concidered less polite than walking/cycling in the wrong lane ?
Cycling etiquette over there seems odd compared to the Netherlands.
Pedestrians > cyclists. We only have what space they leave
As a long time bike commuter I'd strongly recommend flashing red light in the rear and white light in the front flashing or steady.
During the day too?
@@TwoWheelCruise I actually do during the day as well (for the red light) but Houston riding is so sketchy because every driver is insane 😬

depends on the officer. Sometimes they want to avoid an awkward situation and will let you go, so usually better if you don't understand Japanese lol

I like a small lightweight one for normal days, but for the rainy days I use this ua-cam.com/video/_AmADW7Hnzk/v-deo.html
Do you use a microphone for your vlogging?
On the cycling vlogs, yeah. Check out my gear page
By any chance do you guys live in Osaka? The route looks kinda familiar
Nagoya
Hey cruise, another very interesting and well made video, I have watched quite a few cycling around town videos by other people but so far yours are way better made and produced than the others, thanks for doing this.
Where do you position your camera, is it on some kind of chest rig or on the bike ?
Thanks! Very happy to hear that, I've been practicing a lot to get to this point. It's honestly just a plain chest mount, no gimbal, combined with a conscious riding style
As a fellow commuter I'm curious about what you do with sweaty clothes at work, if any. Mine I just shove them in a bag to be washed at home.
And nice slice of life video, as always! :)
Thanks! We have a small hanging rack by our warehouse that I use :)
Muy buenos paisajes! Saludos desde Argentina 🚲🆒
Thanks! 😁
Looks like a safe commute. Wish U.S. had protected bike Lanes.
These aren't protected at all.. Lots of businesses along the way with cars pulling in and out without checking for bikes.. Really dangerous in the evening, but thankfully most of them are still closed in the morning so it's not bad then
Makes me want to tour on bike. But always hesitant🤓
Go for it! :)
@@TwoWheelCruise well got a touring bike!! . Gonna try USA , bed and breakfast credit card tour, see how that goes. . But looking at that film is fascinating.
Nice, enjoy!
What is she doing work-wise now? or did I miss that?
she's an OL now at a factory related to the car industry
What's her hi-viz jacket? I want one!

Maybe the Toyota auto museum will explain how they started as the Toyosha bicycle co
wow, I didn't know about that! Would be really interesting if they have something there..
Hay cruise .
Im a toyota mechanic in australia would b good to see that museum clip one day. I went to Aichi toyota kaikan last Feb. Going to akita for language course this aug . One day I will get back to Nagoya to see the museum.😎👍👍
I want to go, but apparently can't film any video inside :/ Hope you get a chance to go yourself :)
Love cycling but also need a car. Looking into a Camry. Which model year should I aim for? 2012?
@@scholzdigital the red one, obviously!
Fantastic 👍
Nice camera work
Thanks! 😎
Hi. I love your videos... I recently bought a Road Bike and been using it for commuting to work. Is it necessary to wear a jacket while commuting? Is it for visibility? Or any other reasons?
Thanks! 😀 and enjoy the new ride! It's for visibility and the morning is still kind of cool. Also, she doesn't like tanning 😂
@@TwoWheelCruise 😂😂 Thanks and I'm happy for you. You're a lucky guy.✌
Great video, learnt more about Japan everyday's life. Yes, it would be a good idea to do a Toyota Museum video.
Cheers! :)
Maglev😮. Great ride with your partner, the love of your life. Visit the Toyota museum and take us on a tour please 🙂
Hoping to go one day, but I guess video is limited
Must have been told before but it is quite the progress for humanity in general when an American uses metric terms :P But anyhow what a fun life. Nagoya looks like an amazing city and quite the life you have there
I always preferred metric, even when I lived in the US. 😅
Thanks, Nagoya is a pretty nice place to live :)
Great couple.
Thanks! :)
I know that i have watched too many movies but 200 years ago there were samurais walking these streets
there was actually a really big battle that took place right where she's standing in this photo
How much do bikes cost in Japan? Any websites? I need an upgrade. Could you give me more info about the JIT program? I just got my Associate.
They're pretty standard pricing, sometimes more expensive.. check out the maker websites for Japan like trek or giant
did I miss what she does for work? and what she use to do for work?
lmao why
She works for a factory in the auto industry. Before, she used to do factory labor, now she's working in the office mostly doing data entry
Bro can you advice with a good road bike with a good price as I want to travel with it 300km at least
single speeds are the cheapest / least maintenance
@@TwoWheelCruise OK what's the kind of your bike you are using now??
What's your opinion about eurobike
ua-cam.com/video/L4VHkuVpR_s/v-deo.html
Enjoyed
Thanks! :)
How do you manage sweating. Do you shower at work or what?
you guys are riding fast ! about under 15mph ?? ha
Is it really safe to cross all those side streets without checking over your shoulder each time!? In Sydney, you'd last 5 mins if you're lucky, green light or no green light!!
I suppose if that's how quiet rush-hour traffic is then then chances of someone coming round the corner is lower but I'd like to see her look :-(
No, it's not.. I've been hooked numerous times.. I'm trying to get her to be more cautious about it :/
The good thing about her commute is she's going away from the city, so it's less busy than the roads I go through
@@TwoWheelCruise There's only two ways to learn. One way involves listening, and the other involves pain... :-(
😬😬😬
I had exactly the same concern when I watched the ride.
Im glad im not the only one who use mtb pedals on road bike hahahah
There's no reason to use road pedals unless you're racing :)
@@TwoWheelCruise isnt there a power transfer and hotspot issue? especially when you ride 100k+
But if you say so since you are have more experience in cycling, ill stick with my mtb shoes. Thanks Cruise! :)
that difference in power transfer only matters really if you're racing. I feel more comfortable overall on the longer rides with mtb shoes since I can walk around easier. I personally don't notice any hotspot problems that differ between the two.
Definitely feel faster and more secure with road pedals though
Thanks cruise, now I have no reason to buy road shoes and pedals. Ill invest to power meter and decent head unit so numbers can really tell me what is really going on betwen road/mtb shoes latter
Once again thank you :)
