Video

Ok, that was pretty funny!

Dude, very good production quality for your videos. Impressive and professional. Subject is pretty good as well.

I live in this area on the South Carolina side of the lake and absolutely love it!

I rode this for the first time a couple days ago. Lived in the area for 24 years, but had no idea that this trail ran all the way from Pineville past uptown. BTW, they built a connector (or partial connector) from the 4 Mile Creek greenway (Ballantyne to Pineville). It is only partial, so you have ride a half mile or so near Carolina Place mall. It is not marked though, so plan that part on your GPS. @joyfultrails I just found your channel. What other 5 star trails did you find?

Do you see any trikes on the trail? How close to Raleigh are you? I'd be coming from Williamsburg, Virginia.

Good job Buddy, great video. You've inspired me and have added it to the 2024 goals list. Thx 👍🏼

It's a fun ride! I'm glad you checked it out! We ride our bikes there all the time! (But not in July/August). 🥵

Your trusty steed is back on the trail, hopefully with tube repair kit on board so you won't have another fail.

Perhaps I might find myself there 1 day.

JC....the land for a bunch of leftist homo's too

It is three years we are living in Jacksonville and going to that trail, but I didn’t know so many interesting facts about the area. Thank you.

Was really, really enjoying your video until you spoiled it with a political caption calling the UT Student Centrr”Woke Indoctrination Center”. Really? You had to go there? What was the point of making your video so divisive when it was so positive?

Now you're making me want to rent an e-bike to ride that trail. Hey! I only live 15 miles from the beginning trail in JC.

This railroad bed is the same one you road on in roan mountain on old railroad grade Rd. That is the same right of way of the ET&WNC (tweetsie) railroad. Also you missed some of the original railroad bridges. You can still ride or drive across at least one of them on old railroad grade road. They are amazing around 130 year old bridges. Also you got the founding date of Elizabethton wrong. it is 1799 not 1719.

This is what dropping acid must feel like. Far out man!

Nice trail. I don’t know how I missed it. You need to revisit some of your videos and add commentary. Thanks for sharing the video.

Looks fun. One of the best edited videos I've ever seen!

I say continue to roll the dice and forget about learning how to change a tire/tube. What are the odds of getting a flat again? Plus, it would be great content for commentors if you did happen to get a flat again. Carry on, sir, carry on! 😂😂🤣 And PS, you can go 3 days without water, plus hauling around extra water just adds unnecessary weight. People 🙄 Thanks for another great video!

Okay, Found Mallard Creek Parking. My Bad

One last thing. When I am in Charlotte ..Let say for a Doctor appointment , I'll take my bike in case I wanna ride a trail. My GPS can never tell me where the Trail head is located and I looking on Google earth as I'm typing this and still I don't see it.

Great looking trail. Gotta get to it soon. I only had one flat since my new Hyper E ride. It happen on The Gateway in Kings Mtn less than a mile from the trail head. Normally that wouldn't be so bad...But Ebikes are heavy. It was like walking a Lawn chair with non rolling wheels. Seems I hit a very sharp rock. Possibly an Arrowhead. That ripped a half an inch hole in my tire and tube. The only thing that saved me was the walker button . @15:53 - Seems all the trail I've been on have a lack bathroom a water fountains. @16:37 - After that first flat tire, I do carry an electric pump, at least one spare tube with a tire changing kit. It all fits in a small bag on my handlebar. @20:32 - I find watermelon great for eating after a long ride. Try some Pineapple too.

Hate to say it but you could have repaired that flat with a patch kit and easily repaired that front tire flat with a new tube considering it was a front tire. Super easy to do especially with those quick releases in the front hub. Should always carrying a small pump and a spare tube in your bags. Light and compact but a life saver on the road especially long trail rides like you do. No mind you should learn how to actually change the tube or patch the tube and take wheels off which is easy to do and plenty of CZcams videos out there to show you. As this can easily happen on a super long ride we’re the car is 15 miles away. 😮 also you should have looked me up when in Charolette I was a bike mechanic for many years back on the day. Built wheels myself and know a lot. Next time you are in Charolette let me know be glad to train you how to fix flats the proper way so you can avoid huge hassle next time. It’s bound to happen again. Oh that was an old good sized thorn in the tire that was left in the tire and with time rolling on it it worked its way into the tube. Always look at tires before and during ride to insure nothing is stuck in the tire before it works itself through the tire and punctures the tube. Shoot me a message I will give you my phone number. I am in Indian land south Charolette.

Oh NO!!! My hubby and I were out on our maiden voyage in Lake Wylie, SC with our ebikes and he got a flat tire, too! It was about a week and a half ago, riding on hot asphalt with no shade and he got a flat tire! Had to take it to a bike shop in Gastonia, NC. Now we are putting in that "FlatOut" Kevlar liquid in all our tires so it won't happen again! At least we were close to the car. What happened to you is dreadful. I hate that for you. Sorry. But God took you to a really cool bike shop and perhaps your video will cause others to become more prepared? Silver linings!!!!!

Well done sir... love the intro.

Can do without the Woke Indoctrination Center about U.T.

Started watching and love your content. Since you came close to home, any suggestion for a trail/park close to Monroe which is 45 minutes southeast of CLT?

Beautiful video on a 4K TV. Love your dad, he’s spry for 88. 👍🏻

What a fantastic video! That took a strong effort! So many things done so well in so many different areas! That was video production perfection! Can't wait to ride the trail one day.

You just can’t give up on your woke indoctrination fantasy can you…..

I haven't had a flat in 3 years. Am I doing something wrong?

Interestingly, the New York Times writer who called Knoxville “a scruffy little city” also visited in the winter. Most places in this part of the country don’t put on their best face without foliage or green grass. I think that’s why Knoxville started the Dogwood Arts Festival, a springtime celebration with driving trails that show off the less scruffy places in a beautiful time of year.

I also experienced that walk of shame. Mine was six miles back to the car.

There's got to be a local girl scout club or a 4-H club that would teach you how to change that flat. You got this man 💪

Thanks for sharing the video. Sorry you had a flat. I’ve never heard of these trails.

Glad to hear my comment mentioned; even more glad to hear you are going to CZcams, " how to change a bicycle inner tube ". Great songs on this video !!!

When you do one of these videos, it might be a good idea to start off with a map and some mileage information. Beautiful ride. Thanks for highlighting it.

I walk through there all the time!

CORRECTION: Some viewers have alerted me to the fact the the UNC-Charlotte enrollment is closer to 30,000. My 6,000 figure came from "the interwebs" but was probably referring to one of the colleges within the university. Anyway...I give "higher ed" a bit of a hard time now and then but I will have to say that the section of trail that passes thru the UNCC campus is beautiful and is one of the highlights of these "creek trails."

Great video, thanks for sharing! We moved to North Augusta specifically because of the wonderful Greeneway. BTW you'll have to come back soon- they just finished a wonderful paint job of fishes and turtles taking up the entire inside of the first tunnel you went through. :)

i was out there yesterday! it was a scorcher. also battled heat stroke.

Nice video, ruined by his terrible humor. Riding all his life, not prepared for a flat? Needs alot of editing.

That's your highlight?

man you make me want to quit my job and just ride my bike around on all these nice trails

I would recommend attending one of the free maintenance clinics that local bike shops have from time to time. Bicycles with rim brakes and releasing the rear wheel from the chain and reinstalling the rear wheel are the most difficult part of repairing/replacing a tube. Once you have the wheel off replacing the tube is relatively simple. Village Wrench in Greenville has maintenance clinics often that are free. I’ve had to do the walk of shame or carry bicycles back to the car. Learning to repair a flat will prevent most walks of shame 😊. Always look forward to seeing your videos!!

Are you, or have you ever been, a standup comedian? If not, it could keep you busy in your retirement years. Fun video!

long pants?

Fantastic Video 🎥 Almost felt like I was there.. I hate changing flats as much as the next person.. but if the only thing you learn is to change a flat.. it would be in your best interests.. one thing I’ve learned also.. is have a small cooler at the car with drinks & snacks.. for those hot days.. as you know SC & NC can have hot 🥵days from May till October.. Again Awesome Video.. every video gives me a Birds Eye View on your day on the trail 🚴‍♂️😎🌞
