I did make a full length video of me trying to install these Rene Herse Tires onto my Velocity wheel sets - the bike shop just ended up being the better option for me.

Put you Velocity wheels and Rene Herse tires in the trunk and drive yourself to Dirty River. lol I actually made a brief attempt to set up my Gunnar and my Raeigh gravel bikes tubeless myself. It didn't go well.

I got to meet the gang from STS Gravel Bikes today and ride one of their older models that they will be working to improve as well as check out their rad drop bar gravel bikes. Custom paint, US steel, American made. Really cool. Beers after not video taped. May be an Akron, Indiana, Michigan collab soon.....

Riding around Akron in the evening sun on our All City, Surly, Crust Bikes and Gunnar Cycles.

Wooly Pig Farm Brewing Oktoberfest then out on an Ohio Gravel Grinders route. Perfect day on the bikes

So there is (to me) a convoluted system of who can race where when races are sanctioned by certain organizations(such as USA Cycling). My local series of cyclocross races has done away with them completely. Party Size helps organize and sponsor some racing so I will be interested in his takes on the subject. Also Party Size has proclaimed he can fix all gender issues with racing! We will also ramble off topic and into the live comments for sure.

Erin and I drove to Wooly Pig Brewing to ride one of, if not the best gravel route in the region. I brought my ATB and Erin her Crust Bombora. We did a 24 mile route of mostly gravel roads and 2400 feet of climbing. Some of the gravel roads are pretty narrow and chunk! Absolutely gorgeous early Fall scenery. Then toping it all off with Oktoberfest at Wooly Pig - craft beers, food, games and fun. This is what October in Ohio should be. #gravelbikes #gravelgrinding Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/gqq6bSV98s Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/16109879159 Music by: YT Creator Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Golden hour gravel bike and ATB ride through Firestone Park, Summit Lake, the Portage Lakes and more. Beers at Magic City Brewing

The calendar says October but the weather might as well be July! We headed out on our gravel bikes and ATBs for one of our Autumn traditions anyways. We mixed the Freedom Trail, Portage Hike & Bike, Summit County Hike & Bike with a few dirts cuts. We stopped for craft beers, pumpkin and apple pies, and some coffee.

We headed out to Hampton Hills to ride some single track mountain bike trails. I haven't ridden the trails much this year and it turns out it showed. I had fun but was definitely slower and less skilled that I expected to be. Turns out it isn't like riding a bike! I also touch on some points that I think were misunderstood from the last video.

Honda Hills in Akron - anything goes out here on these bandit trails. Perfect for ATB's or gravel bikes.

Hot miles and dry trails....the end of the summer drought led us to ride our bicycles on a lot of the rat trails and industrial gravel that can often be too wet. Besides cycling around Akron Erin and I headed to Cleveland to cover the Towpath Trail Century Ride. There are also brewery rides, commutes and more - all in beautiful late-season light. #cycling #gravelbikes Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/gqq6bSV98s Music by: YT Creator Music Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/14706243 Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Talk about a solution in search of a problem! Thru Axles are just a pain to deal with and require a tool where none was needed before. The cost more money and add more weight(though I don't care about weight). In pro cycling they slow down wheel changes to that point that you rarely even see one anymore - they just grab a whole new bike. Thru-axles are supposed to solve a bunch of problems that disc brakes create - but do we even need disc brakes on most bikes?! This hot take is mine this week.... Let's talk about bicycles!

Erin and I jumped on the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath and road straight up to Cleveland. We stopped at Noble Beast Brewing were we met our other friends on their gravel bikes. We then road over to the CroBar to see our buddy Peter, Rocksteady Disco, DJ. We partied hard before riding across the Cuyahoga River over to Lakewood to spend the night. In the morning we got breakfast then hot the trails to head home starting in Rocky River Reservation. We traveled the Cleveland MetroParks before reconnecting with the Towpath.

A ride on my vintage mountain bike in the Chagrin and Solon area with two brewery stops along the way.

Erin and I took our bicycles out to the Chagrin, Solon Bainbridge area to ride a bit of the multipurpose trail through the Cleveland Metroparks and a mix of suburban and country roads to a couple breweries. Beers and bikes all in the late summer sun. It was a pretty great day out.

On this late Summer weekend I had a lot of places to be and I accomplished my goal of getting to all of them on my gravel bike. Work has ramped up so commuting with my bicycle and camera bag on my back was the way to go. Erin also met me on her Crust a number of times afterward to get dinner and/or drinks.

100 miles powered by gas station food!

On a Sunday morning I headed out to ride 100 road miles with over 4000 feet of elevation and eat at three Sheetz Gas Stations. It was the third annual Sheetzury - Three Sheetz to the Wind! It was 90 degrees and extremely humid which made it all the more interesting that I rode my best century ride and all on my gravel bike - a Raleigh Tamland 2 on 44mm Rene Herse tires.

Riding gravel bicycles on summer evenings

Shimano and SRAM have a pretty tight lock on the bicycle shifting industry with a few other companies copying their products and making them a bit more affordable but still in the same modern-ish design and function. A few other small brands have made interesting more bespoke derailleurs but usually at exorbitant prices or with strange modifications to the frame needed. Rivendell came along and introduced a low-normal rear mech with their Silver Brand and for $150 - a take on the defunct Shimano Rapid Rise. These derailleurs work the opposite of almost all others and are mostly geared(get it?!) for friction shifting. Are the BS or genious? Let's talk about bicycles!

We took our gravel bikes down to Holmes County to ride some rolling country roads and some steep and loose gravel roads too. It was a beautiful bicycle ride but also a reasonably tough day out at almost 5000 feet of elevation over 48 miles. It was fully self-supported as there weren't many(or really any) places to stop for water or snacks. Definitely a worthwhile ride if you don't mind a bit of a challenge and some steep(double digit) gravel descents. #gravelride #gravelbikes Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/15345372248 My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/gqq6bSV98s Music by: YT Creator Music Whatdafunk by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

I haven't been able to dodge the heat, humidity or raindrops on my bicycle in July but it hasn't stopped me from racking up lots of rides. In fact miles-wise it was one of my biggest months ever.

A slew of comments lately about "gravel bikes" just being marketing or about terms not mattering. I thought this debate was over. Sure - ride what you like and have fun - but language was invented for a reason and we name things for a very good reason too. Gravel bike as a term kinda sucks - but it is what it is.

I went out to shoot a charity event on my gravel bicycle, Erin met me after and we rode to Magic City Brewery for a late lunch. After we decided to grab a beer from Missing Falls Brewing and go to Kent and swim in the Cuyahoga River.

different rides on my Gunnar and Raleigh bicycles after we returned from tour. Some mountain biking, some trails, some paths and of course some of the cuts.

Meet Me In Manchester was an awesome alt-cycling event with camping, bonfires and great gravel routes. Erin and I rode in from Ann Arbor.

We loaded up our bicycles and headed back to Michigan for 'Meet Me In Manchester' - an alt-cycling event with multiple gravel rides, camping, and more.

This debate always stirs the pot - what is your favorite cycling movie and why is it Breaking Away? I have not seen everything but I did bone up for the stream by watching American Flyers and Quicksilver and I do have some thoughts - I'm pretty sure they differ from Andrew's. Let's hear your suggestions. I did watch some clips of Premium Rush but have yet to sit down and watch the whole thing - Same with RAD. I am also a big fan of cycling documentaries and have seen a decent number of them over the year like Burying the Badger and A Sunday in Hell.

We pick up the bike camping trip on day 4. The first day had us riding our loaded bicycles across country roads between Ohio State parks. Halfway through Day 5 we would rejoin the official Ohio to Erie route. There were some rolling hills in Amish country but much of the rest was bike paths, The Sippo Trail, Holmes County Trail, Heart of Ohio Trail, The Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail etc. The weather was hot and humid but dry. Lots more swimming and beers! #bikepacking #bicycletouring Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav The Routes: https://www.strava.com/activities/14998211908 https://www.strava.com/activities/15009125535 https://www.strava.com/activities/15019252895 Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/gqq6bSV98s Music by: YT Creator Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Crossing Ohio on gravel bikes in 6 days and over 460 miles with 5 nights of self-supported, bicycles camping. We rode on new trails and saw new cities. Paint Creek Trail, Creekside Trail, Great Miami Trail and plenty of country roads. Portsmouth, Chillicothe, Washington Courthouse, Xenia, Dayton, Piqua etc. Lots of swimming and beers!

I went out for a few solo rides this week after being on a bikepacking trip. At first I was thinking I needed to recover - then I started wondering what a recovery ride even is. That led me to think about what training on a bike even is. Does any of this matter at all for a non-competitive cyclist? Also - I was try out Akaso's new 360 camera and I have to say I'm super impressed for 200 bucks!

We headed down to Portsmouth, Ohio to begin our cross Ohio bicycle tour. We explored the city with our bikes before we loaded them up. There was lots of history and back alley riding. I had been wanting to see where the Ohio & Erie Canal ended for many years. We also checked out some ancient Hopewell, American Indian mounds. Did I mention the craft beer and murals? Over 400 miles of Ohio History to go! #cycling #biketouring Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Strava of the ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/14957810238 Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/gqq6bSV98s Music by: YT Creator Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

I had never tried a 360 camera before and I did not expect a $200 one to be this good or fun to use. The app on mobile and desktop are really great too. I don't schill for anyone but if you are looking for a budget 360 camera I think this is really a good option. https://a.co/d/1ZM0YBM #cycling

It is time to bike tour Ohio again! Six days on the road from Portsmouth, OH back to Cuyahoga Falls. Our route is taking us on mostly new roads with a little bit of Ohio to Erie Trail at the end. In this video I talk about the trip as well as my bike camping gear that will go on my Gunnar RockTour. I will be using three Swift Industries bags. I forgot to mention in the video that another reason to take the Gunnar is the fenders (or mudguards as you crazy Brits call 'em)! #bikepacking #biketouring Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/gqq6bSV98s Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

For this year's Solstice Ride / Swift Campout Bikepacking trip we decided to head out out the country in the opposite direction. Dinner in Wadsworth and then camping in Seville, OH. The heatwave was setting in and the number of bicycle riders was dropping even before the start! It still turned out to be a great overnighter and shakedown ride though. #biketouring #bikecamping Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Strava if the rides: https://www.strava.com/activities/14875506110 https://www.strava.com/activities/14882290367 Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/gqq6bSV98s Music by: YT Creator Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

This was my first time mountain biking on the Alum Creek MTB trails - maintained by COMBO. I was impressed with how legit these trails are - I have to be honest that I didn't expect such good trails in this part of the state. I was riding my steel, rigid Gunnar Rocktour with 55mm Rene Herse tires and Soma Port Mann handlebars. It was a rad day out and I definitely want to go back under better conditions. #mtb #cycling Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/14799577744 Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/gqq6bSV98s Music by: YT Creator Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

On a beautiful late-Spring evening we went ripping through Akron on our way to the gravel & dirt trails at the Mogadore Reservoir. Most of us leaned towards the gravel bikes with a decent amount of road riding - but still a mix of drop bars and sweeps.

As I started to load up my Gunnar RockRour and Swift Bags for our first overnighter of the year I was confused as to why I was running out of room. Sure - its going to be a cold night - but it is only one night. I feel like I am packed to the gills. If this was a longer trip where would my electronics and meals go - not to mention camp coffee set up?! I forgot how to load for a bike tour?

Last week felt like summer and there was plenty of bicycle riding to go along with it. I got out on my drop bar gravel bike every day except for one.

From having a councilman opposed some smart street redesign with bikes lanes and saying we should ride on the bike paths to getting pulled over by a cop who said we should ride on the sidewalk it had been a weird couple of weeks. But - Akron has come a long way in bicycle infrastructure in other parts of town. I feel the infrastructure is outpacing the attitudes.

This event had lots of gnarly East Coast Trails, great food and drink. Two nights of camping and fires.

On a beautiful Monday I grabbed my gravel bike and headed out. I wanted to get a decent, tough ride in since I had missed out on completing 'Gunks Not Dead'.

Gunks not Dead was an awesome couple days of riding ATB bicycles on single track & gravel, beer, food, friends and scenic views. There was a mix of sun and rain but it was mostly warm enough. The Shawangunks in New York are beautiful and the farm we camped on was fantastic. This was the second year of the bike ride and I definitely plan to be back for the third to actually finish the ride without a broken axle.

From bicycling with the same group for ten years, to solo rides to work meeting, coffee rides with my girlfriend, hanging out in happy situations and sad ones - it's all about the bike friends. Sometime you head out on in the sun but finish in the rain. #cycling #gravelbikes Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/athletes/14706243 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Music by: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Sunshine__the_Rain/ ...and YouTube Creator Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

I rode downtown Akron to the Sakura Festival to see the cherry blossoms and other activities that go along with it. It was pretty grey and it was threatening rain but there were still a bunch of people put. The Towpath Trail was slow going but that is to be expected. #cycling #bicycles Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/14091234595 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Discord Server: https://www.strava.com/activities/14091234595 Music by: YT Creator Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

I've been putting decent miles on my bikes the last few weeks but how I have had to dress has varied wildly. One day I'm in shorts and the next I'm back in the winter clothes. We have been lucky with the sun mostly but the rain kept me off the bicycle yesterday. What about where you live - still getting snow?! I also just finished my taxes today - so I may be celebrating with a fine can of craft beer. #cycling #bicycles Let's talk about bicycles!

Where did Erin and her Crust Bombora go?! To Kent with me on a 75f day! After a bit of a winter's nap she is back in the Brooks B17 cutout saddle... We got some lunch and drinks at BellTower Brewing. Then I hit all the dirt cuts with Ben and his All City Gorilla Monsoon. Lastly its a commute on my Miyata single speed conversion to Earthquaker Devices and the Akron Art Museum #cycling #altcycling Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/9360050698 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/gqq6bSV98s Music by: YT Creator Music Happy Bee Surf by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

I had a few meeting in the old parts of Akron so I hopped on the Gunnar and headed off on a very windy but sunny day. I've been pleasantly surprised that some of parts of the city that have traditionally gotten less attention have had some nice infrastructure improvement for cyclists and pedestrians. I will eventually share links to the projects I was working on in this video but at the time of posting they are still works in progress. #cycling #bicycling Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/13987734775 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/gqq6bSV98s Music by: YT Creator Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

What a weekend for bicycles! We had three bike events and so many friends! On Saturday I hosted a channel meet up starting at my studio, riding to Dirty River and then meandering around on the Industrial Gravel and dirt cuts before stopping at MadCap Brewing for dinner and drinks. On Sunday was The Otis-Roubaix, a hill climb challenge in and around Akron. We have a lot of steep punchy climbs and a huge turnout tackled them. An after-party was at Missing Falls Brewing. #cycling #gravelbikes Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Rides: https://www.strava.com/activities/13959958283 https://www.strava.com/activities/13967188288 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/gqq6bSV98s Music by: YouTube Creator Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Our annual tradition of riding bikes and drinking some beers on St. Patrick's Day continued this year. Even though it was a very cool start we still met up on our bridge and cruised on our bicycles all day. Stops at Missing Falls Brewing, Ray's in Kent, Mr. Zubs in Highland Square and about 40 miles on the trails and roads. #cycling #gravelbikes Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/13911925162 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/gqq6bSV98s Music by: Master of the Feast by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

I needed to get Erin's broken wheel to Dirty River Bicycle works so I decided to get creative with my MODL Infinity Tools. On the way home I needed to bring a bunch of new t-shirts for my shop - so I decided to get creative with the Velo Orange Utility Rack. All this on my 1989 Team Stumpjumper. I love using what I have to get the job done. #cycling #bicycles Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/13863176579 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/gqq6bSV98s Music by: YT Creator Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Warm weather and more sunshine! This is what we live for. A few trips on the bicycles including all of the surfaces - abandoned train tracks, industrial gravel, bike paths , country roads, a jaunt to the suburbs. All of these brought to you by glorious daylight savings time! I ride the Gunnar Rocktour in this video and Ben rides his Salsa Storm Chaser set up single speed.

The first bicycle event of the year is in the books for me - the Road Apple Roubaix. The day turned out to be a ton of fun even though the weather was really tough. Today was beautiful again though....but thats how late winter and ealry spring are here for riding - unpredictable. The ups and downs in the forecast are still all over but I am trying to get out and ride my bike as much as possible. Let's talk about bicycles!

A couple different bicycle rides - one exploring some Barberton history and the Anna-Dean Farm on my Gunnar Rocktour with Ben and another one heading to Akron Coffee Roasters for a grinder update on my 1996 Team Marin. As usually there is a mix of terrain, mud, bike paths, rat trails, industrial gravel and more. Craft beers and coffees were consumed.

On a sunny but windy day I decided to head out on my Gunnar Rocktour, drop into the Cuyahoga Valley, and grind through the wet Towpath Trail to try a new-to-me coffee shop - Portal West. After a macchiato and some hand pies I headed back out on the bicycle path then climbed back out of the Valley. A great little break in the middle of the day. #cycling #caferide Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/13753077600 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: YT Creator Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Road Apple Roubaix was a rough day out in the snow and wind but the party afterwards was a blast.

The cycling event season kicked off as usual with the Road Apple Roubaix in Garrettsville, Ohio. A mix of gravel riding and country roads with a great after-party. This is always one of my favorite bicycling events. I rode my Gunnar Rocktour with its wide tires and sweep bars - I loved it at certain times but also struggled in the brutal headwinds. With the harsh weather and beat up roads I opted to do the 25 miler instead of the 50 for the first time ever. #gravelrace #gravelride Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/13761246161 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: YT Creator Music Periscope by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

I waited out the rain all morning then hopped on my Gunnar Rocktour and headed to the bike paths. I hadn't had a proper coffee ride in a while on my bicycle. I rode the Summit Hike & Bike on my way out and the Freedom Trail into downtown Akron on my way back. I had a macchiato at Bent Tree in Kent in the middle.

The Round Up Bicycle event went great! So many cool bicycles and bike parts but much more important were all the great people! It was hard to get to the bike kit with so many great conversations to be had - not to mention beer and food. I also finally got back in the Brooks B17 saddle - a grey neighborhood ride - but better than nothing.

I headed out on the Gunnar and realized there was still ice, my tire was going flat, and I was cold. I ended up being glad I got out - and did some typical Akron history nerdery. The Freedom Trail was closed do to bridge construction. Oh well. Any day on the bicycle is a good day? I end this vid with a little wrenching. I needed to adjust the saddle and clean up the seat post. Are the winter blues getting to you?

I jumped on my Gunnar Rock Tour to head downtown Akron and get some photos for work. I also messed around with an old point & shoot Canon.

I also played around with some cameras - vintage lenses and an old point & shoot Canon. Of course you will get some nerdy Akron history on this ride too. #cycling #bicycles Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/13531154791 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: YT Creator Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Rode my Gunnar at sunset to Dirty River to meet some friends and then hit the Freedom Trail. The melting but packed snow was super rough. A little bit of road, some tacos and drinks and then back sliding and bouncing around home. 45Nrth f on the way out but low 30s on the way back.

Nobody like to be sidelined from the bicycle - but there have been a series of unfortunate events. First I tweaked my back, then it got brutally cold, and now I'm sick. Not the best January. So here are a few things I'm doing while I can't ride - some are bike related - some aren't. Hopefully back to riding videos soon. *If you want to order bandanas or stickers internationally put in a US address and as long as your billing address is where you want it shipped I will send it(I just use international stamps) - please get more than just a single sticker though 😃.

Back out on my old Trek 4900 Mountain Bike to run some errands in the snow and cold. Alos a little discussion about bar mitts(pogies), lobster gloves, wool gloves and then yearly goals. The idea of mileage goals vs. just having fun out there on the bicycle. #cycling #winterbikes Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/13356020888 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

I just came in from another cold and snowy bike ride on my vintage Trek MTB. We can talk a little more about winter riding and also about any goals or plans for 2025. On some of these freezing days it is nice to think about the coming warmer times. We also have the Otis-Roubaix coming up which will be paired with an industrial gravel channel meet up ride - weekend of March 22nd. The Roundup Bike Swap is coming in February(22) in Akron and Road Apple Roubaix on March 1. This stream is brought to you live by the channel members - they are why you don't have to wait for ads!

The snow and the cold just keep on coming - but we keep on riding bikes. The length of my bicycle rides has gone way done this year as I'm pushing through the snow but we are out here having fun. Some days it is just a "don't put a foot down" challenge and others just knocking out some short commutes. I am enjoying riding my old MTB on its studded tires for now - we will see how the rest of Winter goes. #cycling #snowrides Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/14706243 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: YT Creator Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

I always enjoy the challenge of the Festive 500 - it's an interesting experience to try and squeeze in 38 miles a day around the holidays. I don't have a ton of work at the end of the year but still like to meet up with friends and family - and all the normal traditions. Erin joined me on many of the rides this year as we hit the Hike & Bike Trails, Towpath, some roads and more. We ate in Kent multiple times. I think this may be the first year that I didn't do a Cuyahoga Valley National Park loop though. I rode almost all the miles on my Gunnar Rocktour Adventure after breaking a shift cable on my Raleigh Tamland 2 on the first ride.... #cycling #festive500 Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/14706243 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: Bumba Crossing by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ & YT Creator Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

I wanted to try out the Soma Port Mann handlebars on my Gunnar Rock Tour Adventure but couldn't justify the cost. Then I realized I could put my Velo Orange Granola Bars onto my old Trek that I use as a snow bike. Things didn't go perfectly smooth but in the end I got everything sorted and I'm loving the change to both bikes. Come ride along with me in the snow to see the upgrade!

Oh wait - it is clickbait! 2024 turned out to be an amazing year on the gravel bike, ATB, and various vintage bikes that I own. The title of this video is just an attempt to outdo Terry B. though.

I left my house on my vintage MTB, a Trek 4900 with studded tired(45NRTH GravDals) to try and catch the bike shop's group ride. The Yeti Squad meets every Sunday at 10am at Dirty River Bicycle Works. I thought they would have a large turnout with the lake effect snow we had gotten overnight - but when I finally caught up there were just a few souls braving the low 20s f. We still had a blast cruising through the snow. Of course there was a brewery stop at Missing Falls. #snowride #vintageMTB Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/13170953753 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: Vienna Ditto 'A Happy Car is A Stolen Car' & 'Wintertime' https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Vienna_Ditto/ CC BY - FMA Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

We went from a snow storm to 50f feeling downright tropical. It has been a roller coaster for bicycle rides lately. I ride three different bikes in this video - my ATB - The Gunnar, my snow bike - a Trek 4900, and another vintage MTB with a drop bar conversion - my 1996 Team Marin.

The first snowy bicycle ride of 2024! It was 24F when I left on my Trek 4900 with its 45NRTH GravDal studded tires and Surly Corner Bars - my winter bike of choice when it is slippery out. I went through downtown Cuyahoga Falls, onto some industrial gravel, over to the Freedom Trail, downtown Akron, then turned toward home down the Towpath Trail before climbing up out of the Cuyahoga Valley. My clothing gear worked well but the old Trek can use some adjustments. #cycling #vintagemtb Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/13054762954 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: Jesse Gallagher - YT Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Everytime I mention fenders, or mudguards, for my bicycles I get a lot of comments. So I finally decided to put some fenders on my Gunnar and make a video about them in general. I'm curious if you use fenders beyond just a commuter bike - do you use them on gravel bikes, ATBs, road bikes? I even have some vintage French Fenders.

A late November weekend on my ATB Bike and my gravel bicycle - photography work, art shows, small markets, craft beers and more. I was mixing work and pleasure on these rides - nothing long or crazy - just some exploring Akron and getting things done. Chat GPT wrote the title - I couldn't think of anything. 🤷🏻‍♂️ #cycling #gravelbikes Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Rides: https://www.strava.com/athletes/14706243 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: YT Creator Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Seasonal depression, I mean weather is finally upon us. I will still get out but it just isn't the same. Lets talk about riding bicycles! I also have some MODL Infinity Tools and accoutrement to give away. Some for members and some for everyone else. #gravelbikes #bikerides

I needed to head out on my bicycle to run some errands before the rain came and the temperature dropped. I took my gravel bike, Raleigh Tamland 2, and hit some bike paths, industrial gravel and roads on my way to Earthquaker Devices and Dirty River Bicycle Works.

Erin and I headed out on our gravel bikes for a mix of country roads and rustic bicycle paths. We started at Maize Valley and headed into Alliance where we stopped for lunch at Aeonian Brewing Company. We rode about 40 miles with just a bit of climbing and the route was from our friends Scott and Tony's Yeti on the Loose ride. Even though it was grey it was still a great day of cycling. #cycling #bikeride Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/12917090759 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: YT Creator Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Let's talk about the presidential election. Just kidding! Erin and I wanted to get a ride in on what we thought might be one of the last truly beautiful days of the year. The colorful leaves, blue skies, warm enough weather and the last day before the time change. We rode out gravel bicycles on a road ride out to Bent Ladder Cider & Wine and Rittman Orchards to have some hard cider and snacks. The beginning of the route is on the Ohio & Erie Towpath Trail and then we head through Barberton and out onto country roads. It was a great day out. #cycling #gravelbikes Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/12808450812 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: YT Creator Music Modern Rock Boy by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

The OCA(Old Croton Aqueduct Trail) is unlike any other bicycle ride. From the streets of New York City, through Yonkers, into the woods, sweeping views of the Hudson Valley....I just love it. Sometimes it feels like you are in people's yards, other times in the middle of nowhere. It is such a great gravel bike ride. Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Ossining - many towns to stop in along the way too. #gravelbikes #gravelride Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/12785030128 Better Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48872314 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: Mike Gutterman(except first song) https://mikegutterman.bandcamp.com/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

A full day of riding our bicycles around New York City. We started in Queens, rode to Brooklyn and visited Two Seas Cyclery, crossed the Williamsburg Bridge, stopped at Rapha in Soho, went to B&H in midtown, crossed through Central Park on our way to the East River and up to the George Washington Bridge, we then road down through Washington Heights and Harlem eventually crossing the Queensboro Bridge and I ended up meeting friends in Crown Heights. Beers, vegan food, coffees, skate spots and more. This is how a couple tourists rode bikes in NYC. #cycling #ATB Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/12778627665 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: The Strange Division & YT Creator Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Bikecamping and bike touring Long Island to New York City has been on my list for years now. We started in Connecticut and rode to New London where we jumped on the ferry. We crossed Long Island Sound and rode a few more hours before setting up camp. The next day it was 87 miles into Queens. It was a mix of bike paths, country roads, suburbs and finally The City itself. It was great couple rides! Over 160 miles on the bicycles. #bikecamping #bikepacking Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Rides: https://www.strava.com/activities/12761965052 https://www.strava.com/activities/12768659918 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: Aces High - Funkorama by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Acid Jazz by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Nutmeg Nor'Easter, the Alt-Cycling World Championship, is such a blast for gravel bikes, ATB's and more. It is 2 nights of camping and three days of riding and bike nerd community. It is kind of a bike festival and it just gets better every year. While it may lean towards steel bikes & friction shifting anyone who loves bikes and the outdoors is welcome. This was our fourth time and we just won't miss this late October, New England, cycling event. Correction: DJ Peter_RSD is from Detroit. Note: This video doesn't really capture all of the great conversations and hanging with friends new and old - because that would be a weird thing to film. : ) #gravelbikes #cycling Joe Hubba's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCl6J4nWvDELE0qSGkC_T6Yg Bikepacking article: https://bikepacking.com/plog/2024-nutmeg-noreaster/ Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/12753696869 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: The Jaunitos & YT Creator Music https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Juanitos/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

We drove to the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area on our way to the Nutmeg Nor'Easter in CT. After getting set up at our KOA on the PA & NJ border we set out for a day ride. We thought the McDade Recreational Trail was going to be a typical bike path or rail trail but we were wrong. It was a gravel path with ups and downs and twists and turns. We loved it! It was kind of an ATB ride before that was a term. Gravel mountain biking? It was a blast - just bring the right bike. #gravelbikes #gravelride Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/12737564796 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: YT Creator Music Lachaim by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Guts and Bourbon by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

It could not be more beautiful out on the gravel bikes than it is in Northeast Ohio right now. Peak leaf peeping season and sunny days. Erin and I rode to Kent on the Freedom Trail and Hike & Bike Path to celebrate our 8 years of love. We also went to Magic City on the Towpath Trail and I did a fast ride hitting Barberton and the Summit Lake Loop. #cycling #bikepaths Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/12688556949 https://www.strava.com/activities/12695132362 https://www.strava.com/activities/12705127422 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: Mike Gutterman https://mikegutterman.bandcamp.com/track/ask-high-force-low & YT Creator Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

It was like someone flipped a switch and Summer cycling was over. Cool night, shorter days, colorful leaves and Halloween decorations are here. It is time for Autumn rides. Fall is my favorite time of year to hit the gravel but it does come with its downsides. In this video I ride my Gunnar, my gravel bike, and my chill, single speed cruiser hitting breweries and bike paths along the way - not to mention a bit of industrial gravel . #gravelbikes #singlespeeds Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Rides: https://www.strava.com/activities/12618567468 https://www.strava.com/activities/12649552417 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: YT Creator Music and Drifting 2 by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Fast and flowy, machine built mountain bike trails are my favorite - and there are more than you can shake a stick at in the Wayne National Forest at The Baileys Trail System. 58 miles as of now. We spent a weekend in a canin called Benton on The Baileys and rode the trails and some of the Hockhocking Adena Bikeway into Athens, OH. I think more and more people will start to discover how great this area is for cycling.

I actually made the decision to go out in the rain on my bicycle twice last weekend! I'm not a huge fan of getting wet but I'm also not a huge fan of sitting inside.

Hurricanes do hit Ohio - but mostly just with lots of rain. So if I wanted to ride my bicycle lately it had to be out in the rain. I'm not a fan of getting wet but we headed out on the bike paths anyways this last weekend. We stopped at Magic City Brewing, Beckwith Orchards, and HiHo Brewing on our rain rides. What is your rain riding kit strategy? Also feel free to sing "Rain" by The Beatles while you listen to this. I obviously can't use that song in my video. #cycling #bikepaths Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/12527590435 https://www.strava.com/activities/12535542756 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: YT Creator Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

The Towpath Century Ride in Cleveland, OH and Oktoberfest in Kent, OH all in one day?! Yup! We rode the northern end Towpath Trail and into Tremont, over to Lake Erie before heading home and going back out on the Hike & Bike Trail and over to Kent. A full day on the gravel bikes!

I recently rode bikes in Pittsburgh and Cleveland and had a blast in both. I love bigger cities - maybe its because mine is so small(or on the verge of having big city amenities?) On Sunday I was at a cyclocross race all day. I don't race cross on my bicycle but I do enjoy being at the races. Personally I do prefer a long gravel ride - but sometimes you never even get to see the people who rider at totally different paces. Lets talk about bicycles!

CycloCross? Even if you aren't serious about racing you should head out to your local CX race. They are such great community events - beers, pizza, donuts, coffee and all the bicycle talk you could want. Woody aka Roached Clips hosted 'Thrill on the Hill' in Akron and it was a blast. Joy Machines Bike Shop and Dirty River Bicycle Works both hosted rides to the event. The turnout was awesome - especially for a first year event. #cyclocross #bicycles NEOCX - https://neocx.com/ Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/12478961060 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: https://mikegutterman.bandcamp.com/track/vanishing-point Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Some of Pittsburgh's best industrial gravel, bridges, paths and off-the-beaten path spots. We had an absolute blast riding gravel bikes(and vintage MTB) around the city. Chris planned a perfect mixed terrain route. Riding bicycles in Pitt never disappoints. #gravelbikes #cycling Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Rides: https://www.strava.com/activities/12404325412 https://www.strava.com/activities/12409985060 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Pionir_10/Pionir_10 & YT Creator Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Erin and I decided to ride our road bikes on 32mm tires. It got us wondering about road bicycles in general. Outside of road racing is there a point to own road bikes in 2024? Endurance bikes, rando bikes, touring bikes...just buy a gravel bike instead? Do you ride vintage road bikes, vintage road bikes with conversions, or modern road bikes with wider tire clearances? #cycling #bicycles Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/12361487578 https://www.strava.com/activities/12352928180 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

There is no exact definition of an ATB but I do consider my Gunnar Rocktour to be one. It is perfect for Mountain Biking Trail like Hampton Hills MTB Trails but also gets me to the park on the roads and bike paths. The Towpath Trail, road descents, and off-road - it handles it all well enough. #cycling #MTB #mountainbiking Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/12329480325 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: Tennessee Hayride by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Chris Yanda the mechanic from Dirty River Bicycle Works will be stopping by to rebuild my Velocity Aileron Wheels. The rims were warrantied after corroding faster then expected. Velocity has used a new coating process that is supposed to hold up to salt and sealant better. My Velocity branded hubs will be reused. This is the third set of rims they will be laced to.

You should ride whatever bicycle you love - fat tires on pavement? Great! Bombing around gravel on a skinny tire road bike? Wondeful! I prefer the wide, supple tires these days. Give me my gravel bike on the road and my ATB on the chunk. Rene Herse makes great knobby tires that also roll fast on pavement - but so do many brands these days. All terrain bikes and wide all terrain tires are my choice these days. In this video we hit a bit of everything, bike paths in Cleveland, Industrial Gravel in Akron, and mountain bike trails in Lake Milton. Three completely different bikes including my 1983 Trek 500. #gravelbikes #atb #mtb Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Rides: https://www.strava.com/activities/12284128152 https://www.strava.com/activities/12293753386 https://www.strava.com/activities/12300140470 https://www.strava.com/activities/12309266331 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: YT Creator music including Pepper's Funk by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Beach Party - Islandesque by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

An All Terrain Bicycle? I still love my drop bar gravel bike on its 44mm tires but often when the terrain will be mixed I find myself reaching for my sweep bar bicycle on its 55mm tires. The lines are definitely blurred between gravel bikes and ATBs just as they are between rigid mountain bikes and ATBs - but it doesn't matter what you call it - I'm just enjoying being more comfortable and capable o the rough stuff these days. #gravelbikes #altcycling Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/14706243 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: YouTube Creator Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

I drove to Boston for a work trip so I was able to bring my gravel bicycle - a Raleigh Tamland 2. I've been to Boston to visit a friend a number of times but I've only ridden the city bikes a bit. The infrastructure for cycling in Boston is pretty incredible and you can actively watch it getting better. I rode from Roxbury downtown, out to the harbor, over to Cambridge, up on Bunker Hill, through Franklin Park and more. If I knew I was going to have this kind of time I would have planned a better route - but just bombing around in traffic as well as in the protected bike lanes and on the bikes paths was a lot of fun - the weather was great! #cycling #gravelbike Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/12166059245 https://www.strava.com/activities/12174501041 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: YT Creator Music & Kicked Up Pumps by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Ben and I took our gravel bikes down to Rittman, Ohio to do a road ride. We hit a mix of bike paths and country roads - County Line Trail, Chippewa Inlet Trail, and Chippewa Rail Trail. The roads were mostly chill to cycle on with a small section of busier road on the outskirts of the City of Medina. It was a great Monday on the bicycles and we managed to dodge most of the rain drops. #bicycles #cycling Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/12071522256 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: Bama Country - Country by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Mountain Sun by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Chippewa Lake Remnants: https://www.flickr.com/search/?text=Chippewa&contacts=all&view_all=1 Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

We went on a bike tour of the Finger Lakes in New York State over five days. We camped every night in parks. The first day was mostly across the Erie Canal Towpath which is part of the Empire Trail but the rest we planned the route ourselves. Ames was riding an All City Space Horse. I believe this was her first bike camping trip that was longer than an over-nighter - but we will get into all of that. Ames is an accomplished gravel racer and one the Ohio Gravel Series in 2023.

We returned to Michigan to ride another gravel bike event. Erin and I met up in Ann Arbor and rode out to the Manchester area where we camped on a farm. The gravel ride, 'Meet Me in Manchester', was on Saturday and we rode one of the 50 mile options. The gravel roads and trail were awesome and so was the company. We camped out on Saturday night too before riding a different gravel route with some bike paths back to Ann Arbor.

I had never gone on a solo bikepacking trip or a solo bike tour so I decided to try it out. I was heading to the Ann Arbor, Michigan area for a gravel ride and camping event and decided to ride there over two days. Both days would be over 100 miles with a camping stop at the White Star Campground in Sandusky County. Most of the ride was on country roads and bike path but there was some less-than-great suburban and industrial roads too. The North Coast Inland Trail was a highlight. I rode my Gunnar Rocktour which sits somewhere between a gravel bicycle and a MTB - an ATB if you will. #bikecamping #biketouring Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Rides: https://www.strava.com/activities/11981745576 https://www.strava.com/activities/11989714474 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: Rhastafarian by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Gonna Start (Version 1) by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 64 Sundays by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Easy Jam by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ (and more from YT Creator Music) Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

The bicycle ride took us over beautiful control roads and 5500 feet of climbing. Even though it was a road ride I was on my gravel bike anyways - the Raleigh Tamland 2. It was a fun group with a mix of old and new friends. Joy Machine and Dirty River Bicycle Works were represented. We kept a fairly high pace along the rout too. #groupride #cycling Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Roached Clips: https://roachedclips.com/ My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/11890420222 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: YT Creator Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

We hit almost every kind of road and trail surface possible on our Bicycle Tour through New York State's Finger Lakes Region. There were beautiful views but it took a lot of tough climbs to see them. We were all on loaded gravel bikes as we camped every night. Ithaca, Watkins Glenn, & Gannet Hill were the stops after our first day on the Erie Canal. We saw the major Finger Lakes - Seneca, Cayuga, Keuka, Canandaigua and more. This was one of the most interesting bikepacking trips we have done. We started and finished in Rochester after 5 days of riding. (There are separate videos on riding the first day in Rochester and the second day past Syracuse on the Canal Towpath) #bikecamping #bikepacking Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Rides: https://www.strava.com/activities/11786348240/ https://www.strava.com/activities/11793694961/ https://www.strava.com/activities/11802492698 https://www.strava.com/activities/11809601000 https://www.strava.com/activities/11811406607 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: Various from YT Creator Music including: Periscope by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Aces High - Funkorama by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

The first day of our bikepacking trip would take us from Rochester to Syracuse, New York mostly following the Erie Canalway which is part of the Empire State Trail. We met up with the trail in Pittsford after riding a few miles on the Auburn Trail. We also broke ofd the trail and went more direct through the Montezuma Wildlife Management Area. We stopped in Syracuse for dinner then continued out bike tour to our camping spot at Green Lakes State Park.

The day before we started out 5 day bike-packing tour of The Finger Lakes region in New York we set out from Rochester on a ride up the Genesee River to Lake Ontario. We were heading to see Charlotte Pier and Ontario Beach Park. On the way back we ended up on a more wild dirt ride on the Rochester Running Track Trail and the Olmstead Trails. It turned out to be more like mountain biking. We continued into downtown to check out the High Falls before heading to a craft brewery for dinner. #gravelbikes #biketouring Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/11771316707 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Erin and I rode our gravel bikes through the Black River Reservation between Elyria and Lorain. We rode the Bridgeway Trail and the Black River Trail.

Erin and I decided to drive to Elyria to ride a rail trail we had never been on before - The North Coast Inland Trail. We stopped in Kipton, Oberlin, and had lunch in Wakeman before turning around and riding back. We did 40 miles on our bicycles and were pleasantly surprised with the scenery on this mostly shaded bike path.

A long day out on the road but riding my gravel bike. My friend Brad was in town so I went to visit him by riding down the Towpath and then up out of the Cuyahoga Valley on Valley Parkway. After I headed to my parents' in Bath for dinner. Finally it was down Sand Run Parkway and then back up out of the Valley home.

We spent the weekend cycling in the Ann Arbor, MI area and it was awesome. We started with the fast, flowy trails in the Waterloo Recreation Area - The DTE Energy Foundation Trail - 25 miles of fun. The next morning we went to the Ann Arbor Handmade Bike Show riding a 30 mile gravel road loop before the show. We cruised around the city and the University of Michigan that evening. We enjoyed food at The Filling Station, Craft Beer at HOMES Brewing and Coffee at Hyperion - those were just a few favorites. #mountainbiking #gravelbikes Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/11550831023 https://www.strava.com/activities/11559098412 https://www.strava.com/activities/11560194997 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

The annual Joy Machines Memorial Day Weekend bike camping trip was heading out to West Branch State Park this year. We met the Cleveland area gang out in Kent. After lunch at BellTower Brewing we rode down the Portage Hike & Bike Trail then out into the country. Even with the threat of severe weather we managed to get a swim in and somehow dodge the worst of it. We returned to Kent the next day on different roads before splitting up - half down the Freedom Trail and the others onto the Summit County Hike & Bike.

It feels like we went from late Winter/early Spring right into Summer weather. It has been perfect for riding around on the gravel bikes and I have no complaints. This is a compilation of bicycle rides from the last couple weeks as everything turned green. Akron is pretty again. #cycling #gravelbikes Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: (too many - just a link to my Strava) https://www.strava.com/athletes/14706243 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: Slim And None by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE Rubber Bowl Video: https://youtu.be/wvBhrr-X2Tk?si=ASj_v-0HxzOpZSHO

Fresh off of Blackfork Gravel Grinder we wanted to discuss that gravel race as well as other events - such as the Alt-cycling events we attend. There are so many positives about getting out and riding with other people but there are also some drawbacks. I've often said there is nothing more dangerous than a charity ride!

Blackfork Gravel Grinder is always a fun, beautiful but super tough day on the bicycles. This year it was 58 miles with 5800 feet of elevation on the steep, loose gravel roads in Mohican, near Loudonville, OH. This is some real deal gravel riding and it brought out 850 riders - some trying to win money, others trying to survive. I rode my Gunnar RockTour Adventure as I am more comfortable having the wider tires and bike position with it than I am with the slight speed advantage I may gain on the flats and rollers with my drop bar Raleigh Tamland 2.

Fresh off of a day trip to Youngstown and making the video and it just has me thinking a lot of the place and area I live and the way it has changed or hasn't in my lifetime.

A Sunday of riding our gravel bikes in Youngstown, Ohio. We started off riding our bicycles through the beautiful Mill Creek Reservation before heading into the city to check out campus, downtown and some of the neighborhoods. A mini-Detroit as the description isn't meant to be mean - just to be honest. Bruce Springsteen didn't write a song about The Yo for no reason. I did mess up a couple little facts in the commentary - the first big mill closed in 1977 - not the last. But I would love to hear any locals opinions on my commentary. The second title in the thumbnail refers to slang for a car bomb as so many were taking place at one time....

Joy Machines Bike Shop and Roached Clips held a joint holiday ride out in Parkman, OH. Great country and gravel roads along the route. Four of us decided to load up the bicycles and ride out. There was free camping at the group camp site Chicagami Park as part of the ride. It was a nice 50 mile ride to the ride in the sun. A rad night around the fire with friends and then a great ride in the morning.

Well - I got a bit ranty about the e-bike comments. They are just so ridiculous I felt better addressing them. I guess that is off my chest until I have to read the comments on this video! 😳 Anyways - this is all the rides from the last week and a half. The Tamland 2, The Gunnar, The Specialized Stumpjumper and the Tenways. All riding is fun. To work, to beers, to my parents on an electronical bicycle. I didn't even get to the comments on the Eclipse Video about "chemtrails". 🙄 Anyways - the cherry blossoms where beautiful and I've had plenty of chances to ask Edmund, "Ho did you get to be so cute?" #ebikes #gravelbikes Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 E-Bike Affiliatte link: https://fas.st/t/ekUWKUn9 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: Mike Gutterman https://mikegutterman.bandcamp.com/album/electronic-music-for-productions-volume-50 Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Riding 80 miles on our gravel bikes to see totality at an amazing location on a beautiful day? Yes - we made the right choice. We left in late morning and rode the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath from Akron to Cleveland through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The forecast did not looked good but it turned out to be a beautiful, sunny day and the total solar eclipse was the most amazing thing we had ever seen. Viewing it by Lake Erie at the Old Coast Guard Station was just so rad. #gravelbikes #eclipse Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/11138735594 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: Mike Gutterman from the below album https://mikegutterman.bandcamp.com/album/electronic-music-for-productions-volume-50 Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE Chapters: 0:00 Foreshadow 0:14 Bicycle Prep(tires) 3:55 Brake adjustment 4:12 Camera Gear 5:22 The Ride to The Ride 7:31 The Ride 8:26 Peninsula Coffee 14:20 Tremont 17:40 Cleveland - The Flats 20:14 Wendy Island 21:25 The Eclipse 23:21 Downtown - Brewery Stop 26:00 Ride Home - Summary

First impressions of the Tenways CGO 600 Pro on a ride into downtown Akron with some flashbacks to a gravel ride out to Crafted Artisan Meadery. Also some neighborhood exploration on a Wandrer Easter ride out to Kent for some lunch at BellTower brewing. We also hit the bricks, cobbles and gravel riding to the new Good Company Akron for a fish fry. So a full plate of all kinds of riding. #cycling #gravelbikes Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 TenWays Bikes: https://fas.st/t/Kn1BLjv5 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Thermowave Wool: http://tinyurl.com/2h72frav Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Rides: https://www.strava.com/activities/11087396652 https://www.strava.com/activities/11079632837 https://www.strava.com/activities/11064959884 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: The Bics: https://thebics.bandcamp.com/album/white-lighter Mike Gutterman: https://mikegutterman.bandcamp.com/ Dan Lebowitz - Catch Up Ketsa: Night Flying Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Let's talk about e-bikes. I can't for the life of me understand why some cyclists are so against electronic bikes.

Industrial Gravel YouTube Channel Meet Up and the Otis-Roubaix in one cold and action packed weekend. Beers, climbs, portraits, bikes, beers, climbs etc. What a great way to clear up the winter blues - riding all over the Akron area on gravel bikes with friends(there were vintage road bikes and mountain bikes too - oh and fat bikes!).

Over the weekend a bunch of us got to hang out and ride bicycles together - it was so awesome and so much fun! On Saturday we had a channel meet up and rode some of the Industrial Gravel - even the snow and cold wasn't what we wanted in March we still had fun chatting, ridding and eating and drinking together. Sunday's Otis-Roubaix at least took place in the sun while we climbed all of Akron's steepest hills.

As they say in NE Ohio, "if you don't like the weather just wait - it will change". That has certainly been true of the bicycle rides this Spring. We have been on the gravel bikes in the snow, in the rain, in the sunshine and at almost every temperature imaginable. After a few beautiful days the St. Paddy's Day ride was a mix of everything!

Country gravel roads that stretch on for miles and miles are great - but sometimes you want to ride out of the door and into the cut(s). That is what rides like these on the gravel bikes are all about - stringing together the industrial gravel.

I rode in my first organized event of the year. I don't do a ton of cycling events but there are a few that I do every year and really enjoy. On a ride the day after we were discussing group ride etiquette - and also why some people are so offended by the idea of simple rules to keep everyone safe. When I've talked about it before I got equally thanked and equally derided for it. #cycling #bikes Lets talk about bikes! #bicycles #gravelbikes Buy some swag! https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater

The Road Apple Roubaix kicks of cycling event season for me. I always have a blast at this country road/gravel ride out in Garretsville, OH. This year's conditions made for a sloppy ride but the new 50 mile route was rad. I rode my Raleigh Tamland 2 and was happy with my performance for the shape on in.

One of those days where you just have to get out and ride bicycles. Playing hooky as the kids say. Over 60 in February. I met up with Ben on his All City Gorilla Monsoon and we drank some beers, checked out some abandoned factories, had patio beers at the bar, and took some photos. A few pretty good descents in there too.

I have been talking a bit about the winter doldrums, lack of cycling motivation or seasonal what have you a lot lately - on Sunday's bicycle ride we used my four best methods all at once to beat the blues.

I often head out on my own because of my free-lancer schedule. If the sun is out mid-day I can make the decision to ride my bicycle and work later. On some days the time is there but the motivation isn't. I find that I still enjoy a solo ride to a point - but the longer rides tend to get boring for me without a purpose.

I went for a couple commutes on my 1989 Specialized StumpJumper Team that I have built up with the Velo Orange Utility Bars. This bicycle is a lot of fun - though it isn't the fastest.

Erin broke her ankle at Nutmeg Nor/Easter in two places. She has just been back on her bicycle the last couple weeks after being sidelined for months. Cycling injuries can really suck - making the already depressing winter season even worse. I'm so glad she is back riding. What is the longest an injury has kept you off the bike?

With Erin being back on her Crust Bombora and the sun finally coming out I got a decent amount of miles in on my bicycles for the first time all year(over 150). I rode the Raleigh Tamland 2, Surly Midnight Special and my homemade Miyata single speed. All the bikes, all the likes. We even met up with Ben on his All City mountain bike on Sunday.

I hoped on the Surly Midnight Special to ride out to Kent and try and get an old but very expensive camera fixed. Along the way I encountered park sharp shooter, my old dorm room, and other random stories you get to hear about. 50F in January after the single digits and teens was wonderful....although I am sick of the grey, dreariness.

Ryan "Otis" Adams is stopping by to chat - he is the owner of Dirty River Bicycle Works and he will be bringing by a few of his Fat Bikes. Ben and I didn't slander fat bicycles last week but neither of us feel a reason to own one. Otis will explain why he thinks they are so rad. He has been a bike mechanic for decades and has ridden all kinds of bikes and was a very early adapter to "alt-cycling and gravel bikes".

Some friends hit me up about checking out an abandoned factory - the only problem was it was 10° at the time of the text. What the heck - I'll just bundle up. It was a short bicycle ride on my winter bicycle to the meet up spot before heading over and checking out the giant space.

I met up with Ben on the Surly Midnight Special that Otis from Dirty River Bicycle Works has set up semi-custom. We headed out through Akron and into the country hitting some new trails along the way. We had some great mead and pizza at Crafted Artisan Meadery(craftedmead.com) before heading back out in the wet snow to the Mogadore Reservoir Trails.

A quick look back on the best cycling year I've had so far. My numbers weren't the biggest but the rides were the baddest! (in the 80s way were bad means good). Tons of gravel, a bunch of single track, great events like Nutmeg, Higher Ground, Hodag, Road Apple, Blackfork and more! We went to New York, Michigan, Connecticut, Indiana, PA and had a bunch of great adventures here in Ohio. Bicycles are the best tools for bringing people together.

The Festive 500 is a challenge to ride 500 KMs between Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. Eight days to get 310 miles in - it is an average of 40 miles per day. I've done it for a number of years and had high hopes to complete it again. We had some dreary weather but not snowy or too cold. I started on my Gunnar Rocktour, then rode a borrowed Surly Midnight Special, my Raleigh Tamland 2 gravel bike, then even attempted a bit on a vintage Trek 500.

Cycling on the Winter Solstice for our bicycles crew's holiday party. Some crunchy snow out there on the Towpath Trail. Only one bent derailleur hanger after those "cups of cheer". Some Christmas shopping on the 1989 StumpJumper, and the Gunnar Rocktour out in Kent. A warm Christmas Day bike ride to my parents' and then some gravel riding to keep me going on the Rapha Festive 500.

I also have Surly Corner bars on it now and bumped the up with a Velo Orange Happy Stem. The clip on fender is the final piece of the puzzle that makes this great for winter cycling. I went downtown Akron, West Akron, and along the Towpath Trail a bit. Thanks to Common Birds for the awesome tune - links below. #wintercycling #bicycles Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/9360050698 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: Common Birds https://www.youtube.com/@UCw823jJgJP1fgSktBsLq15g https://open.spotify.com/artist/0sFWuT9XCIEA1lSxMcxXfR?si=OOSHJhugSJ696IZs-4cw4Q Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

I finally got a snow ride in on the old snow bike - I think I only rode it twice last year. Do you have a snow bike? Mine is a 2001 Trek MTB - 26 inch wheels with 45 Nrth Gravdal tires. I dig the studded tires but I know some people don't think they are necessary. #altcycling #gravelbikes Buy some swag! https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater

My Gunnar Rocktour Adventure has been such a great addition to my bicycle collection. It quickly became my favorite bicycle for anything on the rougher side of things. Mountain biking, exploring the industrial gravel, bikepacking, etc. I guess it can be called an ATB - all terrain bike. It just does almost anything I want so well. I still rode my drop bar gravel bike a ton this year but this has become my number two. #bikepacking #gravelbike Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/9360050698 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: The Strange Division Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

I actually did take in a stray last night and now I am exhausted. He is a little lover though. Anyways - let's talk about all things bikes. I can't think of a theme so we will wing it!

On today's bicycle ride out into the country I discuss why I do not use full fenders on my gravel bike. We also make a top at a brewery in Medina, OH and make a t-shirt delivery. While I ride through Bath we discuss some Fitzwater history too. A fun, windy, solo romp on Ohio country roads and a bit of the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath. #gravelbikes #roadies Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/10349816315 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: YT Creator Music Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Lets look at your bikes! Your bicycle photos and live discussion. Haven't done one of these in a while but I have a plan. There will be a special channel in the Discord that will open at 7 tonight. Post photo(s) of your bike with a brief description in that channel and we will pull them up on the screen during the chat and talk about 'em. There is already a bicycle photos channel in the discord - yes - you can post there too and have a discussion but for the "Stream Bike Photo" lets limit the discussion so I have a clean feed to pull from.

I didn't necessarily feel like getting out my bicycle - but 50 degrees in December and I just had to. As(almost) always I'm glad I did. I rode my bike down the Hike & Bike Trail before dropping into the Cuyahoga Valley and onto the Towpath Trail into downtown Akron. I stopped in Dirty River Bicycle Works to buy a new fender and even got to try out a Surly Ghost Grappler.

I've been of the bicycle for a few days and I was off of my bikes for over a week very recently - is this a good thing? I'm sick so my priority is to heal up - so I am intentionally taking a break. When I was traveling for work I simply did not have the time to ride. When I got back on my bikes though I felt wonderful.

I just spent a week filming motorcycles for work. We started in Dallas and worked our way through national parks and out to Las Vegas. I didn't have the chance to ride a bike at all. Also - what does the end of the GCN app and GCN + mean for professional cycling? I plan to at least briefly touch on this. Finally I do have some plans in the works to finally launch a news show/podcast on cycling. #altcycling #gravelbikes Buy some swag! https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater

We went out bouncing around on more of the hand built, super-rocky East Coast-Style mountain biking trails in the Hudson Valley. Or as we came to call them - hiking trails where bicycles are allowed. 😀. We started by driving over The Gunks to the Lippman Trails near Wawarsing and then back toward Kingston to the Sojourner Truth Trails. Rocky and mostly slow was again the theme. Definitely not our favorite trails - but another beautiful day out on the bikes in New York. #mountainbiking #mtb Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/10068318317 https://www.strava.com/activities/10069186833 https://www.strava.com/activities/10070318275 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: The Strange Division Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

I took off on Sunday morning on my Raleigh Tamland 2 with no plan except to be out in the Autumn sunshine. I pedaled the new path around Summit Lake before hitting some industrial gravel and then riding the Freedom Trail out to Kent. I watched part of the Browns game and had a couple beers before returning home in the late day sun on the Summit County Hike & Bike Trail. All this while discussing the dreaded daylight savings time ending and retrun to standard time. #gravelbike #cycling Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/10167621237 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Easy Jam by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100245 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

We parked at the Onteora Lake Trailhead in the Bluestone Wild Forest to ride some mountain bike trails. They are connected to the Jockey Hill Trails which we got into a bit too. It was a rough and rocky day out. More downed tress to ride over than you can shake a stick at. It turned into a "don't put a foot down challenge". Slow and tedious but also really pretty. After getting shook all up we rode back into Kingston, NY and stopped at Utility Bicycle Works. It was a fun day out - but definitely challenging.

Its Halloween! Lets Talk about bicycles! #altcycling #gravelbikes

Nutmeg Nor'Easter is the finest of alt cycling events. Hosted by Ronnie Romance in Connecticut it is camping, eating, drinking and some really fun riding on all kinds of surfaces. Expect single track, dirt, gravel, country roads, rocks routes and new this year - gigantic puddles. All the pizza you can eat and all the friends you could hope to meet. Some of New England's finest ATB riding. One very unfortunate circumstance almost derailed us - but the chance to ride with the very real Brooklyn crew saved my weekend.

Rail Trails with a view! We rode from Kingston, New York to Poughkeepsie and back - out on the O&W Rail Trail and up over the Gunks in the Mohonk Preserve and then along the Hudson Valley Trail. A brewery stop, cider donuts, Mid-Hudson Bridge, Hudson Valley Walkway and back on the Wallkill Valley Trail.

Riding at Minnewaska State Park Preserve and The Mohonk Preserve should be on every cyclists list. The gravel carriage trail paths are absolutely awesome with some of the most stunning views I've ever seen in the eastern US. Waterfalls, overlooks, ledges, lakes - it is truly wonderful.

I started my trip in Johnstown, PA at Hope Cyclery for Higher Ground Hundo before moving on to Kingston, NY for some mountain biking and bike path riding. The end of the trip was in Connecticut for the Nutmeg Nor'Easter. What a wild Fall ride with lots of interesting weather and unexpected events. Lets look at some photos and relive the times. #altcycling #gravelbikes

Higher Ground Hundo in Johnstown, PA is a tough ride on a perfect day. This was not a perfect day. 8,000 feet of climbing over 70 miles in the driving rain in the low 40s! It was an experience. Gravel, single track, country roads, industrial areas - this ride has it all, all on hills. The camping and conversations with friends - old and new - are what really make it all worthwhile.

Getting to ride the Little Miami Scenic Trail for a day trip out of Cincinnati was rad. It gave me many flashbacks from bike-touring the Ohio to Erie Trail. The new route out of Cinci is fantastic - game changer for this bike path. I changed up my plans for the day and decided to race my driver(girlfriend) to a spot where I wouldn't inconvenience her with the pick up. Another great day on the bicycle!

Heading out to Johnstown , PA for Higher Ground Hundo followed by a week of all types of riding in the Hudson Valley - maybe even some MTB? Lastly we will be hitting Nutmeg Nor'easter in CT! How Do You even choose a Bicycle? I WILL TELL YOU IF YOU TUNE IN!

Running 100 miles in a 30 hour time frame - through the night in the pouting, autumn rain is....well, something people do! I photographed it from the bicycle before meeting up with my friends and eating pies and drinking some beers. Everyone had their idea of Fall fun!!

Lets talk about bicycles! A little Bike Sawp recap followed by.... A wide ranging chat including the death of All City and the Surly Cross Check. Te industry is straggling and we throw all of our semi-informed opinions into the mix.

I had a number of photography jobs Downtown Akron and I decided to do them all from the bicycle - my 1996 Team Marin drop bar conversion bike - and bring you guys along for the day. After my last shoot at the University of Akron I rode out to Kent to meet up with my friends. I rode the Freedom Trail home with them. It was a rad, full day out on the road and bike paths.

Dirty River Bicycle Works hosted a bike swap meet. Lot of cool vintage bikes - lots of cool bicycles. We let the cameras run but we also walked around and did some interviews. Feels free to scrub around the footage and find the good stuff - we were winging it!

The 1989 Specialized Team Stumpjumper with the Velo Orange Utility Bars has been a great little bicycle but I decided to up the game with a rear rack and make it my errand bike. A handsome vintage MTB that can also get the groceries - can it replace a car - save the money that would go to a cargo bike?

Grand Island, Michigan is a beautiful place to ride bicycles. Gravel roads and mountain bike trails all along scenic, rocky cliffs in Lake Superior. I had no idea how beautiful the water of this Great Lake were. We stayed overnight in a rustic cabin after taking the ferry over from the mainland in Munising , Michigan.

The Hodag Country Ramble in Wisconsin was two days of bicycles, camping , community, food and friends. Jeff Frane from Wilde Bikes put on an amazing cycling event with his family and friends. A beautiful property and an awesome ride through the woods. Lotsa gravel riding and double track. It was so cool to hang with so many great friends new and old. This is what a bike event is all about to me. #altcycling #gravelbikes Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/9817277684 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Slowdance/Live_on_WFMUs_Dark_Night_of_the_Soul_with_Julie_Feb_13_2014/Sous_Le_Ciel/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

The Bailey's is a rad & growing mountain bike trail system in the Wayne Nation Forest near Athens, OH. 54 miles of fast, flowy machine built trail exist with a tougher 30 more miles on the way. Bikepacking it from Strouds Run through Athens and back was a blast! If you are in the area or region it is definitely worth checking out.

Bikepacking on the rough stuff for sure! I started off by heading down to Columbus, OH and cruising around with Brad and Dylan. The next morning we picked up a couple friends and headed down to Strouds Run State Park where we got right into the rooty, rocky and climby stuff on our loaded bicycles. Eleven miles in and we had climbed 1500 feet. We then dropped into Athens had some lunch and moved on to Baileys - an awesome set of mountain biking trails. #mtb #bikepacking Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/9778051997 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: https://mikegutterman.bandcamp.com/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Life comes at us in all different ways - what do you do when you feel too busy or overwhelmed to ride your bicycle? I find that I just need to make the time. Do you go days or weeks without riding? I find that I just have to make the time. Even if it is a short citi bike ride or local loop on the gravel bike. This videos shows me squeezing in the rides - a birthday ride to Kent, bike share bikes in Buffalo, New York, my group ride when I shoulda been working - even exploring an abandoned factory. Sometimes I just work late - I'm typing this at midnight.... #cycling #gravelbikes Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride:(my profile - too many rides) https://www.strava.com/athletes/14706243 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: Les Jaunitos https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Juanitos/Exotica/juanitos_-_07_-_funkula/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Out for a bicycle ride - pondering kinds of bike rides. How much gravel makes a gravel ride? Is riding an ATB to a mountain bike trail still a mountain bike ride?

A full day of riding my gravel bicycle around Pittsburgh. I started off by just cruising around the downtown, through some of the alleys and over the bridges stopping for beer and photos along the way. Later met up with some friends and checked out the industrial gravel and some great cuts and breweries. Lots of bike fun for one day. (not that anyone reads descriptions - but the rail bridge was obviously not active - we aren't idiots) #gravelbikes #cycling Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/9656594995 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Juanitos/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

I decided to get a long ride in last Saturday - my friends and family were out of town. I ended up doing a loop of 116 miles on my gravel bike. I used mostly Cleveland Metro Parks Trails "The Emerald Necklace". Great Lake Erie views, amazing lunch at Nuevo, and the Towpath Trail to finish. My planning was poor but I'm going to give you some tips and advice on doing a Century Ride the right way. #centuryride #gravelbike Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/9591180577 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by Mike Gutterman: https://mikegutterman.bandcamp.com/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Mountain biking at West Branch State Park is....tough! Super rooty, tight turns, narrow bridges, the rockiest hike-a-bike I have ever been on and more. ....but - we still had a lot of fun and I would probably do most of it again.

We rode an absolutely stunning gravel route in Fresno, Ohio(near Coshocton). Every kind of gravel chunk you can imagine, steep climbs, fast descents and all the rural farms and rolling hills you could want. Of course it ended with a brewery stop and some craft beer. If you are looking for a really amazing day out on the gravel bikes definitely check out the Strava profile linked below. *Update - I believe this is an Ohio Gravel Grinders route that Scott updated to start and end at Wooly Pig instead of Coshocton. #gravelbikes #gravelride Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/9552499921 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: https://mikegutterman.bandcamp.com/track/dont-wait-for-it Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Missing Falls Brewing in Akron, OH hosted a cycling event that included kayaking, food and beer. We started off at the brewery and rode our bikes to Water Works Park in Cuyahoga Falls where Burning River Adventures drove us up the Cuyahoga River and we kayaked for 2 hours back to our bicycles. We had lunch at the park before riding to MCArthur's Brew House for a beer. It started storming but we still enjoyed a wet ride back to downtown Akron for a final craft beer and hang at Missing Falls: https://www.facebook.com/MissingFallsBrewery https://www.instagram.com/missingfallsbrewery/ https://paddletheriver.com/ Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/9360050698 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: The Strange Division Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

So we rolled out of Frankfort, Michigan and into the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. We camped at Platte River Campground and rode our bikes down Peterson Road to go swimming in Lake Michigan. The next day we continued north to Leland for lunch before turning East and then South down the Leelanau Trail and back into Traverse City during the National Cherry Festival. A lunch stop the next day in Ann Arbor and our summer bike tour was over. #biketouring #bikecamping Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/9383840794 https://www.strava.com/activities/9389966538 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Just back from using BikPacking.com 's Michigan North Country Traverse route and turning it into a 5 day loop - we are going to "Go Live" and chat about the experience.

So on Day 3 of bikepacking in the Michigan Lower Peninsula we left the woods of our campground near Mesick and headed out into the country down rural gravel roads. Midday we hit some single track "fat tire bike trails" in Big M Recreation before our final push to the coast of Lake Michigan near the Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness area. After another night of Bike Camping it was north up the coast to Sleeping Bear Dunes - mostly road touring. #bikepacking #biketouring Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Rides: https://www.strava.com/activities/9382872168 https://www.strava.com/activities/9383840794 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Our second day bike camping on Michigan's North Country Trail - which included bikepacking.com North Country Traverse route. It was another tough day of bike touring with plenty of roots and steep punchy climbs that added a fair bit of hike-a-bike...not to mention the sand again. We cut way back on the mileage though and still had a great time...ending the day with swimming and beer. #bikepacking #biketouring Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/9370745514 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

We headed out of Traverse City in early morning to go bike camping on bikepacking.com's (https://bikepacking.com/routes/north-country-traverse/) North Country Traverse route. We used Ride w/GPS to get to the North Country Tail on the TART Trails and the the single track of the VASA Trails and pathways. This was day one of a 5 day bike tour and we started to realize we had way over planned the mileage we could pull off on the curvy, rooty, and sandy routes. It was beautiful and a lot of fun - we jus had to pivot! #bikepacking #bikecamping Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Deal on Magic Shine Lights: https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/9368872049 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: Mike Gutterman https://mikegutterman.bandcamp.com/album/electronic-music-for-productions-volume-33 Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

The beginning of our summer bicycle touring trip. We hit the road to Traverse City, Michigan and spent the afternoon and evening cruising around and checking out the local scene: breweries, coffee shops, bike trails, the lakes and more. We had an Air BnB and the next morning headed to the woods for one of the toughest rides we've ever done.

A lot of you expressed interest in Erin's Salsa Timberjack hardtail aluminum mountain bike and also had some questions for her. So we sat down and discussed here MTB journey. From being "tricked" into mountain biking at Jake's Rocks in PA on her gravel bike, a Crust Bombora, to heading out to Hampton Hills on her own. We discussed mountain biking podcast style while the videos in the background are from our latest trip to East Rim in the Cuyahoga Valley.

On this bicycle ride I take my 1989 Specialized Stumpjumper Team out for its first real ride since I built it up with mostly Shimano Deore XT. I was running errand and testing out the new Velo Orange Utility Bars as well. They are so cool - used MODL Infinity Tool to strap down my load. Not sponsored but both were sent to me and they are cycling goodness. Highly recommended. This vintage MTB turned out to be a ton of fun - can't wait to button it up a bit more and take it on future adventures.

Micah and Tony both road the Coast to Coast Gravel Grinder in Michigan last weekend. It is a 204 mile race over forest roads, double track, some single track and lots of sand. Its starts at 6AM and the cutoff is at 3AM in the morning. There is a support crew that meets you at three designated checkpoints but beyond that any resupply needs to happen at any facilities that are open to the public.

A bit of a guide for beginners on hitting some mountain bike trails while we watch footage from East Rim in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

Joy Machines Bike Shop in Cleveland was hosting a bicycle camping trip to Big Creek Park near Chardon the night before Memorial Day. A group of us rode up from Akron to meet them. We stopped in Mantua for lunch after riding the Summit County Bike & Hike Trail, Portage Bike & Hike, a bit of the Headwaters Trail and finally the Maple Highlands Trail - there was also some country road riding mixed in. After camping we worked our way back to Cleveland before riding the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath home. What would you define this trip as - a tour? Bike-packing?

We decided to take our group ride out to Hampton Hills Mountain Bike Area. Hampton is awesome because it is fast and flowy but there isn't any super tough terrain that requires a mountain bike. So you can ride to the trails on a gravel bike or ATB and still send it. (well, as much as I send it). We took the Towpath Trail out and then had some beers and hot dogs after - we rode some cutty stuff home in the dark. #MountainBiking #cycling My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE and their partner: timfitzwater15 https://magicshine.com/discount/timfitzwater15 Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/9091544980 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: Mike Gutterman - https://mikegutterman.bandcamp.com/track/bribes White Lighter - https://whitelighterak.bandcamp.com/album/white-lighter Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Well - I threw my back out without even doing anything. I have no idea what happened as I was just out riding and not even on the gnar.

Blackfork Gravel Grinder 2023 went really well. I rode this gravel race once before and it scared the bejesus out of me. I was a little unprepared for just how steep, fast and gnarly these gravel road descents would be. This time I was a little more prepared having done it before and also being on my Gunnar Rocktour with its 55mm tires, sweep bars and fantastic Growtech Equal brakes. I didn't so much race but there is no easy way to ride this cycling event - its a tough day out any way you slice it. #gravelrace #gravelbikes My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Alt-Cycling Clothing!

The Otis-Roubaix 2023 - Akron's Hill Climb challenge hosted by Dirty River Bicycle Works. I left on my bicycle late because I didn't want to go out in the pouring rain but I also didn't want to drive to the start. So headed out when the rain eased and chased down some of the pack. It was a tough but fun day climbing all of Akron's gnarliest hills. Some great gravel cuts, brick climbs, and just those punchy but short neighborhood streets.

The day before the Otis-Roubaix we had a channel meet up and rode some Industrial Gravel. We payed what might be a final visit to the Rubber Bowl before hitting Hoppin Frog for craft beers and dinner. It was a great ride and so fun to meet some of the friends of the channel. We hit some real rough stuff and we all mostly hung in there - some scrapes and wet feet though! Its always fun to show some of the weirder parts of Akron off. Can't wait to do it again. #gravelbikes #cycling My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/8981242110 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: Revolution Void - Line of Flight Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

It was a beautiful evening for a bike ride so we took the gravel bikes out and hit some new roads and then some dirt cuts. The trails we hit are over an old abandoned limestone mine(the mine is the deepest in the world - nothing we need to worry about falling in or sinkholes etc.) We looped around and stopped for food and beers in Barberton and rode the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail "home". I ended the video in downtown Akron as it was already dark. #gravelbikes #cycling My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/8922675409 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Arnaud_Le_Goufflec_meets_Jorge_Bernstein__the_pioupioufuckers_at_the_Bernstein_Corporation/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

I had a quick work trip out to Indianapolis, IN but was able to spend some time exploring the city on the bike share bikes. Their bikes were called "Pacer Bikes" and they weren't too bad for the classic City Bike style. I really enjoyed Indy with its separated bike lanes, bike paths and all around great infrastructure. I even some hit some grav grav. #cycling #citybikes #bikeshare My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/8886047498 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: https://mikegutterman.bandcamp.com/track/nomination Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

I drove out to Jake's Rocks in the Allegheny National Forest to meet up with my friends, camp mountain bike and gravel ride. It is such a great spot to ride - the mountain bike trails are so well designed - fast and flowy - and you can just to get as gnarly as you want to. It was the first real test for my new Gunnar Rock Tour Adventure build and it was some of the best I've ever done at riding single track. Rene Herse tires, Growtac Equal brakes and the Velo Orange Granola Bars all made riding some of the tougher trails a blast.

First big ride on the Gunnar RockTour Adventure - just a blast down the Towpath to Canal Fulton. I've already changed up a few components so I'm going to wait to go through the Gunnar build completely until I get to try it out more and on more mixed terrain.

I had some work gigs to photograph and shoot drone footage of in downtown Akron. Since I had my drone I attempted some drone cycling footage. I flew my Mavic Pro 2 and then grabbed some lunch and a beer at Missing Falls Brewery. A little Industrial Gravel along the way too. I had a flat tire on my gravel bike so I rode my 1996 Team Marin. #gravelbikes #vintagemtb My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/8845069445 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: https://mikegutterman.bandcamp.com/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

So I needed to head out for some errands but I decided to make it interesting and hit some of the industrial gravel. Then I stopped by Dirty River Bicycle Works and we ended up out on more of the gnarly cuts. Riding our gravel bikes through the woods and into the sunset - not to mention gold cart paths and abandoned roads. #gravelbikes #cycling Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/8806172593 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Slowdance/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

I tested out an $169 action camera - the Akaso Brave 7. The company themselves know they aren't competing with the latest GoPros but how does it stack up against cameras in a similar price point? I test it on the industrial gravel and break it down. Then we head off for a Sunday ride into some of the random sites we have found around Summit County and listen to some more great tunes. #altcycling #gravelbikes Photo Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC23WxrMGSByLfyHArjCwBBA The camera: https://www.akasotech.com/product/brave-7 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Slowdance/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

A number of things happened lately that had me thinking about the question of how to get the best value when buying a bicycle. I feel like you can get such good value in used bikes over really cheap new bikes but depending on the route you go the math can also flip. New groupsets are very expensive on their own and "gravel bike conversions" can get out of hand real fast. Lets discuss. #gravelbikes #altcycling I go live every Tuesday at 9 PM.

SRAM just announced their new Eagle Groupset and I'm curious to hear everyone's thoughts. No more derailleur hangers, no backward capability, no mechanical options, and lots of money. That is one side of the coin.

A couple years in on using my Wahoo Elemnt Bolt 2 bicycle computer and one day without it feels weird. I've truly come to love the real time data, the mapping, and being able to leave my iphone in my pocket. This is a long-term review. After I discuss the computer Ben and I hit some bike paths, old gravel and a few different abandoned railroad track. Great day out on the #gravelbikes . I did find my Wahoo when I got home - it was under the couch. 🙄 #cycling Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/8749414604 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/46c2mCPhk4 Music by: https://mikegutterman.bandcamp.com/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Going to adjust and pack my Roger Riviere for my St. Patrick's Day ride tomorrow. It is a cheap vintage road bike that I have built up from the parts bin.

A fine spring day to head out on the vintage Roger Riviere French bicycle and make sure everything is all good. We so a little gravel cycling, some bike adjustments, and best of all prove you can survive on vintage components!

Five days in a row without bicycles - the humanity! I was simply too busy to get out or make any videos so it was nice to get thirty miles on the gravel bike on Saturday. I rid the Freedom Trail and Summit Hike & Bike Path while catching everyone up on the latest. It was also fake St. Patrick's Day in Kent and Cuyahoga Falls which hindered my food and beer stop! #altcycling #gravelbikes Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/8698957919 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Meet Up: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/otisroubaix-weekend/event-one-4hcz4 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/fyDtUGet Music by: Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Finished my first cycling event of the season last weekend and I'm already signed up for more than I've ever done. With Midsouth coming up I figured we'd discuss everyone's schedule for the year. I'm signed up for Blackfork, Otis-Roubaix, Hodag, HigherGround, Yeti's on the Loose and a few more. What about you? Also - Aluminum is not Metal stickers are here.

Road Apple Roubaix is a country roads ride with some great gravel segments. It is run as a fondo but they do chip time the event so many of the gravel cyclists are out there are racing. A lot of the local cycling teams and clubs show up too. It begins and ends in Garrettsville, Ohio - a really cool small town. I do this ride every year and always challenge myself to try and push it pretty hard. I was really happy with my bike ride this year. #gravelrace #gravelbikes Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/8659809015 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/fyDtUGet Road Apple Website: https://roadappleroubaix.wordpress.com/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

We got together to use Silca Secret Chain Blend hot wax on our bicycle chains! A chain waxing party! We all had new chains and this was a first time for all of us. We used an Instant Pot to melt the wax. I'm super curious as to how this will work out on my new bike-packing bike and I'm hoping that having a clean chain needing less maintenance will be really rad. #gravelbikes #cycling #altcycling Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/fyDtUGet Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Upon further reflection I wish I had cut the stupid joke from the edit - I am sorry to anyone who found it offensive. Won’t happen again - I want everyone to enjoy this channel. We take our gravel bikes to the Cuyahoga Valley to do a little exploration and ride the wet, soggy Towpath Trail too. We also hit up the Hike & Bike and numerous abandoned road climbs and descents.

All of post-industrials Akron's weirdness on the bicycles from the abandondoned train tracks and factories to the unknown no-man's MTB trails. Rat Trails. Bandit Trails.

A conversation with Ryan "Otis" Adams of Dirty River Bicycle Works about what it takes to build a bicycle community. He was a bike mechanic for over 15 years before opening his own shop own downtown Akron which became more that just a shop - more of a community focal point.

So I tried a couple new lights last night. The O-Light GoTorch X and the Magicshine Seemee 508. The O-Light is definitely an awesome trail light and the Magic Shine works really well as a radar light/car detector. I intend to keep using these lights though and have some updated/long-term bike light reviews down the road.

(about other cyclists) From a few years of doing cycling videos on YouTube I've started to realize that many cyclists only see bike riding from their point of view. I have learned so much from doing this channel and have had a number of opinions changed so I thought I would share a bit of my now much broader perspective on the pastime we love so much. This isn't directed at any one person or comment - if it sounds like it is something you have said - trust me - 20 other people have too.

I scored a collections of vintage mountain bikes and mountain bike parts in Pittsburg last weekend. Tonight we are going to take a look at what was in the boxes. Deore for days....

I feel like I perfected my gravel bike for the way I ride. Growtech Equal Brakes, Carver All-Road TI bars, 34-42 cassette - I'm all set on this whip. My Raleigh Tamland 2 has reached its peak in my eyes. Throw in the carbon fork and Shimano 11 speed group *heart eyes. Don't @ me about anything.

A couple of my bikes needed some work - being that they exist in kind of the same riding space I wanted to get one done so I could get the other done. I had Dirty River Bicycle Works set my #gravelbike up tubeless with some new Rene Herse Hurricane Ridge tires after I fixed the 9 speed Shimano Shifter on my 1996 Team Marin MTB to ATB conversion bicycle. I also got some Velocity Blunt 35 Wheels for the Gunnar build!

The weekend rides. Some cruising with the Joy Machines Racing crew on Saturday - hitting some of the Akron cuts and Industrial Gravel, Then a Kent cruise and new route to the Hike & Bike with Erin on Sunday.

Sometimes I get a goal in my mind - and then that arbitrary number just won't go away. Sooo - I'm on a quest to finish my cycling year with 6500 miles - which meant as of last Thursdays video I need to average 30 miles a day the rest of the year.

I rode my gravel bike out to the East Rim Mountain Bike Trails for the first time. I took the Hike & Bike Trails to get there and I was happy with the bikes choice as being slightly under-biked at the MTB trails was worth it for how far and the terrain I was riding over-all. I really enjoyed the trails and can't wait to get back to try them again - but that probably won't happen until they are frozen.

Well - its time for the cold weather rides! On Friday I got my snow bicycle - my Trek 4900 - tested and ready to go for the Winter. Checked it out - aired up the 45 Nrth studded tires and all that jazz. On Saturday it was the Yeti's on the Loose Ride. 38 miles under freezing out in the countryside. I'm always going to prefer the warm rides - but I work every year to try and make winter cycling more and more bearable and fun. Dialing in the winter bike clothing is always a big part of it!

New York City Baby! A couple days of riding all over. The first evening was cycling from Bed-Stuy to Greenpoint for drinks and food. The next day we checked out Prospect Park, King Cog Bike Shop, Rode over the Williamsburg Bridge, around Manhattan and more. We left the city on our bikes up the Hudson River Trail and onto the South County Trail. I absolutely loved checking out NYC on my own bike. #cycling #gravelbikes Strava of the Rides: https://www.strava.com/activities/8020372821 https://www.strava.com/activities/8025104750 https://www.strava.com/activities/8028613085 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Alt-Cycling Clothing!

This is a ride I've wanted to do for a while - exploring the Old Croton Aqueduct Trail. We camped at Croton Point State Park and rode the OCA north to the New Croton Dam. We then hit the Briarcliff-Peekskill Trail and had dinner at a brewery in Peekskill. The next day we took the OCA Path south through Yonkers, connected with the South County Trail, through the Bronx and down the Hudson River Trail before crossing the Brooklyn Bridge and into Bed-Stuy where our Air BnB was located. #OCA #gravelcycling #gravelbikes Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/8014569008 https://www.strava.com/activities/8019503823 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Alt-Cycling Clothing!

So the Strange Handlebar World Championship - 2022's alt-cycling gathering put on by Ronnie Ultra-Romance in Connecticut. Beautiful country roads, gnarly gravel and single track, wood fired pizza, ferry rides and all around general cycling fun with some of the nicest people not in kit around. This year it was a bike camping adventure over the rivers and through the woods. Nutmeg Country in the perfect autumn, leaf peeping season. #bikepacking #gravelbikes Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/8004111857 https://www.strava.com/activities/8004378341 https://www.strava.com/activities/8009526195 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Alt-Cycling Clothing!

So we decided to spend the night in Albany, NY on our way to Nutmeg Nor'easter. We cruised around New York's capitol in the evening and out on the Mohawk-Hudson Bike Trail the next day. Albany was great for cruising, craft beers and coffee and then we were off to Old Saybrook, CT - we had a little cottage on Long Island Sound. Some gravel riding out to dinner before some rest because the next day was the Nutmeg ride. A couple great days to kick off the adventures. #gravelbikes #cycling Strava of the Rides: https://www.strava.com/activities/7998059234 https://www.strava.com/activities/7999474604 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/fyDtUGet Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

There is nothing wrong with just getting out on your bicycle - but sometimes it is cool to find new roads and new bandit trails. In this video we go exploring - in our case it is the Norton Limestone Mine - but you should be seeing what you can find where you live.

Erin and I went down to Canton, Ohio to pick up a 1993 Specialized Stumpjumper M2 and a Bridgestone MB. After we decided to do a little cruising on our bikes - my Raleigh Tamland 2 and Erin on her Surly Pacer. We stopped at Walkie Talkie Coffee, Canton Brewing, Muskellunge Brewing, & The William McKinley Monument all while riding residential streets and the West Branch Trail. It was a good day out.

Or I hadn't at least. I was on my way home from Detroit and I stopped in Flat Rock to ride a trail I found on Google maps. Turns out it wasn't just one trail but a number of them with different names but they were contiguous - Down River Linked Greenway, Lake Erie Connector, Oakwood Metro Path(just look at the linked Strava map). Anyways - turned out to e a great day of riding and unexpected too. I always love getting out to the Lake in summer. It looks like you can ride linked trails all the way between the two Michigan Great Lakes - I believe I will be back! #cycling #bikepaths Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/7677174360 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/fyDtUGet Music by: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Juanitos/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

In this video we take a spin downtown Akron starting on the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Bridge over the defunct Route 59 and heading to the cycle track down Main Street. Two of my friends discuss riding bikes in the city as it is and what is to come: they are Kyle Kutuchief - the Planning Director for the Knight Foundation in Akron and Jason Segendy - the City of Akron's Planning Director.

So on Friday after work in Detroit I decided to ride along the river and out to Belle Isle. The island was very pretty - ok for cycling but we be better as a biking destination with friends...I could also see just going to get in some hot laps if I lived in the Motor City. I cruised the city a bit more then had beers at Motor City Brew Works. More bike shops and beers after work on Saturday. Just cruising the city trying to figure out if it was actually going to rain or not. #cycling #gravelbikes Strava of the Rides: https://www.strava.com/activities/7666960211 https://www.strava.com/activities/7671875707 https://www.strava.com/activities/7672599176 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/fyDtUGet Music by: https://mikegutterman.bandcamp.com/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

I have photographed the Towpath 50 fundraiser every years since it began. I also ride it. The event raises money for the Ohio & Erie Canalway Coalition. Basically the Towpath Trail from Summit Count south. After the bike ride it was off for a week worth of work in Detroit, MI - I brought my gravel bike - lets see what I found. #gravelbikes #cycling Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/fyDtUGet Music by: https://mikegutterman.bandcamp.com/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

With my STI levers going all the way back to my bars and my front brakes feeling like ABS brakes I decided to head to Dirty River Bicycle Works to get things sorted out. I had a feeling my TRP Spyres are past their expiration date but I still needed some adjustments and new pads while deciding what the next move is. I was also pretty sure I'd be ordering a new Shimano 105 11 speed crankset. ...not to mention getting my new Deity Blade Runner pedals put on since my last set was ruined in an accident. #gravelbikes #gravelbike Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/7572866613 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/fyDtUGet Music by: https://mikegutterman.bandcamp.com/ Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

On Saturday we rode some Industrial Gravel and country roads making a loop to East Akron, through Springfield, Mogador and then out to Kent. We did this all from our "gravel bikes".

Sunday morning was a group bicycle ride and a picnic to remember and celebrate our friend Bob Bobik. He was a great dude and it was an awesome day of bikes, beers, bourbon, laughter and tears. Some of us rode from Akron to Strongsville and some met at the Royal View Mountain bike trails for a few laps before meeting everyone else at a Cleveland Metro Parks chalet.

Day 4 of our trip found us leaving Cumberland and the C&O Trail and moving on to the GAP Rail Trail. We spent two 80 mile days on the bike path spending the night in Ohio Pyle State Park. The vibe of the GAP is definitely different than the C&O. Right out of town you start climbing and it is over 20 miles up to the Eastern Continental Divide. After that it was a day and half downhill into Pittsburgh where we finished at Point Park. #bikepacking #biketouring Strava of the Ride: GAP 1 - GAP 2 - https://www.strava.com/activities/7427149447 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Alt-Cycling Clothing!

We started at Mile Zero on the C&O Canal Trail along the tidal waters of the Potomac River. Cruised through Georgetown, lunch in Whites Ferry, snack and drinks in Brunswick before spending the night in Harpers Ferry. The next day was a ride into Hancock where we had an Air BnB. The last day on the Bike path was to a campground on the outskirts of Cumberland. July Fourth and fireworks. I loved the historic, rustic and scenic nature of the trails.

This year we decided to take the Amtrak Capitol Limited as part of our Bike Tour. We drove to Pittsburgh and hit some breweries, spent the night in an air bnb then took the train in the morning. We pent the next afternoon and evening cycling around Washington DC and spent the night in another Air BnB before hitting the C&O Trail in the morning.

For this years #SwiftCampout bike-packing trip we headed out to camp at the edge of an old farm in the woods of Garrettsville, OH - exactly like we did last year. We loaded our bikes, met at Dirty River Bicycle Works and rode to Kent for dinner. We then rode on and set up camp before heading into town for some beers and Summer Fest!

We had a pretty beautiful ride on country roads using our gravel bikes to get to Louisville, OH, Minerva, OH and Camp Tuscazoar. It was a brewery tour of country roads with a secluded campsite at the end. In the morning we went mountain biking before riding the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail home. 150 miles!

I took Otis's Gunnar Rock Tour II on all of the surfaces. This build is interesting because of the upright position the Velo Orange Happy Stem and carbon mustache bars put you in. I really enjoyed the capable and comfortable ride. This bike would be a bike-packing dream in any bar configuration. It also has Whiskey carbon wheels, Thompson seatpost, SRAM electronic shifting and a Brooks C-17 saddle. #bikepacking #gravelbikes Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/7288499029 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/fyDtUGet Music by: Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

Dylan was in town on his Tumbleweed for a few days and Rusty rode down to join the fun. Some cycling with Erin and Ben when they were off work too. We did everything from the bikes paths - Freedom Trail, Summit Hike & Bike, Towpath Trail - to the unofficial splore trails - Honda Hills, Moon Tower, Water Works, Salt Mines - Hampton Hills Mountain Bike Trails - and everything in between to get us there. An absolute blast on the bicycles with the gang. Mostly gravel bikes - and some vintage MTBs.

Yes - the virus finally got me, and yes I should be at home resting. ...but just a quick 18 miler in the sun on my Miyata Single Speed surely couldn't hurt anything right?

We parked in Bellefontaine, OH and then rode the Simon-Kenton Trail down through Urbana, Springfield, and Yellow Springs before meeting up with friends(old and new) at John Bryan State Park. Cyclotherapy had rented a group campsite for the night. We didn't get rained on while riding but it did rain while we were hanging at the site. The next day we rode back and had a cabin in Bellefontaine. It was great meeting some rad cyclists. First over-nighter of the year in the books.

Back out on the gravel bikes to hit the industrial gravel - some of the best weird, abandoned parts of Akron and Cuyahoga Falls. Some gnarly abandoned train lines and puddle hopping.

The footage is from a few rides last week - and evening ride out to Copley on country roads to visit Brighten Brewing, A Kent Ride on Friday night to meet some friends for dinner(Freedom Trail and Summit Hike & Bike), a shakedown ride on my new Team Marin build, and a big Cuyahoga Valley National Park ride with Ben and Brad. #gravgrav #industrialgravel Strava of the (one of the) Rides: https://www.strava.com/activities/7073047410 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/fyDtUGet Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

It was finally a beautiful weekend to ride bicycles. I do think gravel bikes are the perfect bikes -the ability to hit every kind of surface - quick on the road and capable of road. Such a blast out riding in the sun all weekend. We went to Wadsworth Brewing on Saturday with some off-road splorin' in the mix and through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and out to Kent on Sunday. All the trail all the roads.

Roached Clips hosted their First Annual 4-20 Holiday Ride. 60 people turned up to have fun on a great route, eat food, drink beers and have an all around great party pace "holiday". We wound through some of the Akron cuts out towards Rolling Acres. Gravel bikes were the best choice but there were all kinds of bicycles. Food was by Fatboy Sammies at the Spotted Owl - where plenty of drinks were available. Awesome to catch up with so many friends new and old.

We spent the weekend camping, mountain biking and gravel grinding at Jake's Rocks in the Allegheny National Forest in PA. We had all four seasons during the trip but still managed plenty of riding. Fast descents, slow climbs - exploring forest & oil roads - completely under-biking awesome MTB trails, plenty of good beers and food - this trip had it all.

I picked up a super long quill stem to bump up the sweep back bars on my Miyata single speed. The idea is to have one true cruiser bicycle - and with the way my back gets sometimes I can use something like this. I'm thinking it will be a good commuter bike when I'm riding to a photo gig and n ot trying to go fast or get sweaty. I also have some tubes to install as I double flatted this bike last Fall.

Jumped on my Raleigh Tamland 2 for a fine spring day of riding - had a whole YouTube video mentally planned.... but my back has been hurting the last few days and even a beer and some Advil couldn't change that. I still got about 20 miles on the Towpath Trail in but I felt it....and I'm feeling it now. Hoping this isn't lasting.

So on a ride home late one evening I got side-swiped on North Main less than a mile from my house. Mostly surprised it hadn't happened more or sooner. I have ridden bikes in NYC, Chicago and other busy cities - I can ride in traffic - places like Akron are more dangerous. There is no flow, there is no understanding. I'm fine. I still ride. But I am continually frustrated with the car-centric city and the entitlement of drivers. #cycling #crash Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/fyDtUGet Music by: Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

So I said last time it was the last time....but I ended up getting out on my winter bike in the snow one more time. It is my 2001 Trek 4900 with 45Nerth Gravdal studded tires. In this vid I talk a little bit about how much the Surly Corner Bars and Velo Orange Happy Stem improved this ride - the alt bar conversion was a great update to this old bike. We ride out to Kent on the Hike & Bike Trail and back on the Freedom Trail - really hoping this is the last of the 20s for the season. #CornerBars #VeloOrange Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/6893625136 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/fyDtUGet Music by: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Jessie_Evans/Live_at_WFMU_on_Liz_Bergs_show_83109 Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

I have a 9 speed Shimano Ultegra groupset that recently came off of Erin's Surly Pacer - I'm going to see how that works out on the vintage Team Marin build.

I went out to Kent on my vintage Trek 500 that I have built up with 9 speed Shimano 105(neo-retro!) in the first Fool's Spring - on my next ride it was all snow... Got out on a similar route and met Erin - this ride was on the Trek again but after the snow was mostly gone. Then on Monday back to Kent in the 60's with the Sun out! Spring is a wild ride in Ohio - I nerd out about that and the vintage Trek in this video. #vintageTrek #steelisreal Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/fyDtUGet Music by: Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

In this ride we explore our version of gravel throughout Akron on the gravel bikes before riding onto interstate 77 and through the central interchange. Lots of abandoned paths and constructions zones. This is adventure cycling in Northeast Ohio! We had a St. Paddy's Day Eve dinner at Keven O'Brian's before riding the Towpath Trail back home.

We started a St Patrick's Day tradition of riding our bikes on the industrial gravel to an abandoned train bridge for morning beers when we weren't able to do anything else. We decided to keep the cycling tradition alive though this year we had beautiful weather and rode the gravel bikes to bars too. We hit Missing Falls Brewing for breakfast and then went down the Towpath Trail to The Green Diamond in Barberton. Back to Highland Square in Akron to Mr. Zub's and Annabel's before finishing at High Street Hop House and Dirty River Bicycle works. No green beers - but lots of craft beers.

Hopefully it is - for this year - bring on that 60 degree weather next week! I rode out to Magic City Brewing with Ben and Brad today. It was blustery and in the 20s when we left but sunny and reasonable on the way back. It really was like two completely different days. Ben's Rene Herse started going flat in a way I had never seen on the way back - you'll have to let me know if you have - sealant bubbling through the sidewalls.

Road Apple Roubaix in Garrettsville, Ohio is such a great event. A mixed terrain fondo-style ride - gravel roads, country roads, carriage trails and bike paths. I rode it on my Raleigh Tamland 2 and tried to film a bit with my GoPro Hero Black 10. The gravel race started at around 40 degrees and finished around 60 - but there was still snow and slick spots out there! Always one of my favorite bike rides of the year. It was great to be back to the mass start and after-party. #gravelbikes #gravelrace Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/6778096670 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/fyDtUGet Music by: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Jessie_Evans Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

I picked up this vintage Peugeot road bicycle for just 40 bucks. After tinkering around with it I decided to to a 700c conversion to fit wider tires to make it a kind of gravel bike. I also decided to throw some flat bars on it to differentiate it from my other builds. It is now a mix of Shimano parts and the original Simplex. The front wheel has a NukeProof hub laced to a Mavic rim! This is a fun, cheap, parts bin build. I forgot to mention that the rear derailleur is a Shimano Alivio and the front is the original Simplex. #vintagebike #steelisreal Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 My Bags Swift Industries Affiliate link: https://alnk.to/biqzedP My Bike Lights of Choice: 10% OFF Coupon code: TIM4 Olightstore: https://www.olightstore.com/s/9XTHFE Alt-Cycling Clothing!

After a week and half off of the bicycle because of travel I was able to get back out with friends on our winter bikes. Some of the Freedom Trail and Hike & Bike were rideable - some was hike a bike and sometimes we took back roads to avoid the trails completely. We had some beers at Bottles 101 in Kent. Great day out all in all even if there was a lot of slow going. #studded tires #winterbikes Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/6714040529 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/fyDtUGet Music by: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Jessie_Evans Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE

It was a little warmer out on Wednesday but the snow hadn't gone anywhere. Come along for an nighttime ride through Akron into historic Glendale Cemetery, under bridges, dancing on steam pipes, beers from Missing Falls Brewery and more. #cycling #winterbikes Strava of the Ride: https://www.strava.com/activities/6659403655 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxgwQv6GpZgYHFF6PmJZVQ/join Swag: https://www.fitzwatercycles.com/store-2 Cycling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitzwatercycles/ Buy prints: https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/tim-fitzwater Blog: http://zippercityphotography.blogspot.com/ Professional portfolio: http://fitzwater-photography.com/ Discord Server: https://discord.gg/fyDtUGet Music by: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Luna Support the channel! https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WM2RJKFKK8TLE
