a lot of your links are dead ok :0
Definitely my favorite Bike! I have a 2007 schwinn Madison. They Are the most reliable and the Simplicity is great just get on and ride no worries. Also very cool ratchet tool.
Have you upgraded anything on your Madison?
3e
single speed???? let me guess you still have dial up internet as well? lol.
The way you pronounce "ratchet" makes me want to burn down an orphanage.

why not the solid tires on this bike instead? less comfy but more reliable and you carry less stuff
Who the fuck carries a huge backpack with bike tools to work?
Hey cruise, why not opt for the airless tires on the commuter? That seems like the ultimate in reliable, worry-free tires. No pumps, no tubes, no patches, etc.
Where’s the link to unique?
Bro staring at me too much.
I’ve learnt the hard way to own patches and fenders too ๐
Ur def. Of huge fits under my def. Of small ๐
I commute with a 40lt NorthFace backpack; I am far from practical for that, because I hate to leave things attaches to the bike….๐
Saw the Schwinn Madison with the crowned fork and that (original?) paint job and clicked the video immediately. Edit: I didn’t realize how recently Schwinn was still producing these
Lol two locks are like under kill in NYC
my shoulder feels sore while commute 20km with my fixed gear and backpack. is it my backpack or my bike fit?
this 15 key is a MUST for my two motorhubs.
The bicycles don’t prove crash tests are trash. Bicyclists lives matters.
Safe yourself and children on the road. Bicycle RUSSIA – the BEST!!! https://youtu.be/76I5P1ggYQI
Where are the links?
Pardon me, but having a video with k-level views and a sponsorship would really be worth the cost of a single CO2 cartridge.
Is the u-lock stand a bit diagonal? I did buy a u-lock, but it gets on the way of the bottle if I try to put normally. I thought about putting the stand in a different way, but it might get in the way of my legs. Though overall here in Japan it might be a bit excessive. What I do (the cable that came with the u-lock, plus another descent password cable) for when I park in front of a store is probably still excessive, though I will probably keep looking like this for now. Cycling with the u-lock is added weight I definitely don’t need on my 40km+ rides. I am sort of forced to use an outside parking lot for now, so for the nights I do use the u-lock too.
Nice vid. ๐
Luv watching the videos, so informative ๐๐๐
Can you make a review of clothing equipments, especially for Japan’s dry winter?
I’d definitely recommend getting something like a PitLock for wheels and maybe saddle if it’s expensive. You can then ditch the cable lock and it saves you time locking up.
Why don’t you use your Nitecore bike light anymore? Are the Cateye better in any way?
Where can we get that shirt?
I ride about 16km a day ,it helps to have flat peddles , I have a aluminium,tcr, it’s a cheap , relatively fast , light bike, I don’t even carry anything, if I get stuck I’ll just walk it home. But if you want a small saddle bag with co2 and a spare tube,that’s will help , I also have a bike light , for when it gets dark , tail light is also good and water if you really pushing it
I had a multi-tool that was almost as small as a big coin. On a bike trip to Ireland it got confiscated at the airport. My most important "tool" added lately is a Garmin Varia rearview radar, but i still have a mirror on the drop end. I go as light as possible with my bags, but still manage to carry a bunch of stuff (pump, tool, patch kit, rash kit, phone, tube, id, some money). Weighs about a pound.
Donโt forget a good phone mount; Iโm a big fan of quad lock
The only time I used a bell, it ended up in my only time falling of a bike: the pedestrians moved out of my way, right to where I was going to move away from them, so I had to make a sharp turn to not ride into them. I was very lucky and fell on grass, but I still got an injured knee which kept me from riding my bike for at least a week.
Why what glasses were those red ones which were photochromatic?
nice video and review..
thankou for shaing..
keep safe.
E bike tubes and strips on 26 27
worried about something getting stolen in japan? thatโs hilarious.
I’ve done some long bike rides without tools, extra tubes and lucked out by not getting
Into trouble . after your video I,m going to invest in some of those items. You are one
Great talker . I have a silver mountain bike I put silver chrome fenders on it. Not only
Does it keep water from flying ,but it makes the bike look cool ! Lets gooo safely !
Excellent video Cruise!
I always wear reflective vest and Mini first aid kits . ๐
I think the first thing you need is some more gears.
This tool is really unique lol
What would you recommend for mounting the action cam? On the bike on your body or on your helmet?
Here are my thoughts:
On the bike: needs DiCi mount. Stable, but shaky footage.
On your body: need to buy some vest or strap to hold it in place. Steady footage (i suppose)โฆ๐ค
On the helmet: need to buy some sort of strap to hold it in place, maybe not so shaky and will see similar to your field of view. You look funny.๐
What do you think? Will using it for bike commute (same distance as yours ~40k 2-way)
i replaced tyre levers with small forks.
i find the way out myself.
thx shr
I like your bike
Love the content of this channel
Fender is good idea in rainy season! Niceee ๐๐
From an MTB perspective, not commuting, a chain breaker tool and a quick link.
That ratchet would be awesome if it was a torque wrench too.
what odometer do you use?
man i really like your schwinn bike <3
ride safe!! im from Philippines
