I love putting together routes where there is no right bike. Everyone is going to hate what they brought at some point and I love hearing about it 🤣

[Vancouversour]

As a newbie in the cycling world, I appreciate statements like “As long as you’re having fun, you’re doing it right” in a community that is so detailed on every little component. It can be very intimidating. Looking forward to getting out there and learning as I go.

Fun is the key. Don't let the bike snobs suck it out of you. Ride what you got. Thanks for another entertaining video. Take care, Al

I read on internet cycling forums that you literally was going to die if you go bikepacking on a full suspension bike.
Well, I had the best bike ride ever this summer.
600 kilometer on my enduro MTB with some easy rolling tubeless xc tires, on mixed surfaces, even on asphalt.
It was great, I will go bikepacking on that beast of a bike next summer also 🤗

I really enjoyed the snippets of quiet and ASMR in this one.
Forest rustling, not-meat sizzling, gravel crunching.
Little droplets of Zen.

for a poor bastard like me, owning only one bike (i ride an stupidly beaten Raleigh mojave 5.0 from 2015), and using it for every task (commuting, grocery shopping, biketravelling, dayriding, even a little bit of dirt jumping), a hardtail with front suspension is like a swiss army knife, useful even in flat terrain.
i ride sometimes with some gravellers, and their machines are awesome, but everytime we hit a sandy-dusty segment of the trail my big tires make a real difference. and man it's getting dusty where i usually ride!
and no, it hasn't have a name, nor gender. just my bike.

No right bike. No wrong bike. Thank you, Dustin! This is what the people need: FUN!

[telepopepic]

I’ve got a garage full of bikes and no matter what bike I choose to ride the only factor on whether the ride is good or bad seems to be me. Guess, I’ll work on optimizing ME.

Thanks for a very nice video.

best youtube content for cycling stoners like me

Trails around here ate my rear wheel yesterday, so your timing is impeccable. We dont have 'gravel' per se near me. Fire roads deeply rutted by winter rains, sandstone trail formations and stony creek crossings all are a bit much and I'm looking at an XC. But honestly I might be the person niner built the MCR 9 RDO for. You should test one if the opportunity arises.

[oakleytrecartin]

Been out of cycling for a while due to older gear lack of time etc. but it’s true just get out there on whatever’s hanging in garage and ride! Thanks for the motivation man!

[kstoeb]

The video is fun (as always :-) But back to the topic: When I bought my current bike, I had only money for one bike. I bought a Gravelbike. And now I just ride with the assumption that I have the right bike for (almost) everything 😅

[JR_Villablanca-de-Mendoza]

Love your sense of humor and your philosophy about how to bike the right way -- to have fun. Cool trick when you spread your arms and bring them back in. I'm in! Subscribed.

Everyone is on this debate rn it feels like and I’m glad it was approached by the most level headed, non dramatic. It’s all about FUN.

[TheScandy]

That farting squeeze of mustard in the middle of your ASMR bit had my dyin 😂

[dumber-plumber]

Had this problem to. I always felt i took the wrong bike for the ride, so i bought a kona sutra (u)ltd. in the summer some 45-50mm slick tires, in winter some beefy 29-2.25 mtb tires. Its a bit in between xc/gravel. It can almost handle everything i throw at it… depends on where you live off course. We dont have a lot of mountains in belgium😂
Really enjoyed the vid👌
Thumbs up👍

[tomrodriguez]

I'm leaning more to the mountain bike for my gravel adventures. Descending on a gravel bike just isn't that much fun, I don't mind being slightly slower, I'm still going to be passed by the guy on the e

[bojanvasic]

This is probably your best produced video yet. You become really good at this. Bravo. I like the gloves. What are they ?

[thomasseymour]

Drop bar 29r full rigid with a dropper; mediumly optimized all the time.

[kerrywilliams]

Very well said Dustin. Sometimes we all need that reminder. We’re on bikes, life is good.
