A Taste of Freedom - Ronnie Romance aka UltraRomance
Ronnie, Ron, UltraRomance... what ever you call him he is hard to miss.
The vintage bikes, bushy beard, short shorts and thick sweaters.... His romantic and self-governed life is suggestive of times past. We spent the day chasing Mr. Romance around Lyme Connecticut to see if we could taste the freedom he so eloquently speaks of...

A friend of mine told me the great thing about a bike is that you move at the speed of observation. The more I think about that line the more I agree.

me peacefully commuting to work observing the fresh snow...THEN I observed a large angry dog charging at me full speed. That certainly is the speed of observation.

The dude comes ripping into the forest, mulches it, and leaves!!!
I watch this short video and immediately the world looks better. This guy has the joy of life in his eyes. And he doesn't need a $15,000 bike for that...

But he definitely owns over 15k worth of bikes.
This could've gone on forever!

I love the quote of cycling being as close man will get to flying! Pure freedom with a sense of direction, even when there is none

He’s quoting Robin Williams.
Everything that I embraced in my early twenties an somehow got kinda knocked out of me through the fog off life, is an has returned as this Mans approach echoes an reminds me of that original ethos. Cheers Ronnie
Ronnie has such a great vibe!!!
Amazing production! Showing the pure and true state of this man's love for Freedom and Cycling. Top notch!
Great video and the jam in the background was great as well. I'm 43 yr young and all i do is ride. I built a trailer to haul lawn mowers for summer people in town hire be because I won't give into a car again and they think I'm nuts 😜
OMG, can I ever relate. As a kid my first real bike was my escape. Fifty five years later I’m still in love with bicycling. Only now it’s not escape but exploring and being out in nature.
Some people dream ,while others live!! Hats off to you my friend 😁
"Nach alter Väter Sitte!" Thanks for sharing!
That is so beautiful to see humans live and speak emotionally and in colors!
Man this dude be riding a full on mtb trail with a steel vintage bike, cantilever brake and no suspension and still manage to hit all the jump and stuff..... legend
I vibe with this dudes style so much. Also my current WIP bicycle is basically his current daily rider. Life long BMXer who loves single speed mashing and roasting!
Sending it in the woods on that bike absolute legend
Truly a work of art, Ronaldo. May Matthew McConaughey’s light shine upon you.
I have 4 project bikes already, now I see him with his clunker and ....I NEED ONE ! F*CK!
This man is THE MAN!! Coolest dude!
Great little video. Tnanks for that an for your quots. Best wishes from Germany
This is gold. Thanks so much for this video❤
"I've used it a tool for whatever life throws at me..." thank you...yes yes yes

Fuck Yeah ! Rad Video .
Lovin it, what a great short film.
Great vid guys, way to capture the light and passion in that gem of a human being
So good! Inspired to ride now. Thanks Ron🤘💪
What a beautiful film 😍 Absolutely inspirational 👏
I agree with this dude 100%
What a cool guy.
I thought it was a spoof at the beginning but what a great reminder to "just to go ride your bike."
I truly aspire to be like this. A bearded weirdo (in the best way) shredding through the woods on a steel bike. No carbon. No spandex. No Strava. Just quality components, fresh air and all the joy in the world.
One of the best bike videos I have seen😊😊❤
This explained the feeling perfectly. Beautiful video❤
Great production quality as well as content!
Love it! Freeride 🔥 leather on waxed canvas, just perfect! ❤️
Parfait👌🏾le plaisir ,la simplicité,le jeu….less is more🤙🏿
What a great video, you made. And thanks for your quots. Best wishes from germany
Once the GOAT always the GOAT.
good vibes! thanks for sharing the stoke!
Absolutely amazing video❤

Super in tune with riding, get out there every day if you can to feel the flow, choose the path makes me smile too.
I felt this deep in my waters. Kia ora, Ronnie. Ka pai.

I've self-prescribed a set of Ron's Orthopedic Back Bars. Cannot wait!

That's one of his own models with Crust, you can get something vintage for probably less if you look around, but his is a mix between the Specialized M2 Stupjumper and the Yeti FRO amongst other influences. It's built by one of the Yeti frame builders from when they were a small independent. I disagree with him on aluminium, but he's also far taller and slimmer than me and he makes some good arguments for his choices. Plus my few dealings with him and his partner have been very pleasant. I think he really is the nice, goofy guy with the ironic dad jokes you see on camera, it's not just an act and that's kinda refreshing.
Nice philosophies 😊👍
ABSOLUTELY
I would say skiing or riding pow is even more like flying, but damn I love riding my bike.
Joy. That’s the feeling when riding a good, well fitting bicycle.
Bike loving and appreciation videos are so cool. Need those shorts😂
@2:30 Friluftsliv means outdoor life in Swedish.
The man, the myth, the legend- what can you say?
Nice scenery.
respect
really cool. plus the gold accents on the Crust is sano
Yes ✊🏻
I can relate 😊
Feeling of flight? I now have a silent rear hub. Now, I really feel like I am flying when I glide. In the forest, I don't feel like an intruder. Not the lightest hub-but so so smooth. Don't ever want to go back. Best holiday wishes.

Sincerely appreciate the open captioning! Make it so much easier for us to watch! I’d recommend using closed captioning as it mean anyone can choose to auto translate it in a different languages thus broadening your audience!
now that's... pretty boss :)
Ronnie is a treasure, no doubt. Yup, everyone would be better of if they rode bicycles more. People, the planet, our communities, our cities. I'd love to find a way to unite all bike-ped folks and push for better/safer infrastucture in the U.S. Ronnie gets it.
Rad 🙏🏻
this guy is so cool
Ron dogg rlly shredding there at the end.
This is like the sequel to the one you did with Spesh. I was waiting for the death metal and it never came. Splendid nonetheless.

My kind of fellow!
Seru juga
It's funny, I'm almost 31 and for several years gave up bicycles for motos... but it's come full circle. I can't stop buying different styles of bicycles and even commute many days to work on my gravel bike. Ever since COVID, street riding on motos has just become a whole other level of danger that just isn't worth participating in... or maybe I've just become more prudent when it comes to adrenaline-fueled risk taking.
Your lucky you got hair, but I know the feeling of a good bike ride
Somebody get this man a motorcycle haha!
RUBIO ROMANCE !!!!
Cross between a hippie and a hipster 😄
Friluftsliv, jaaa! Jag lever som Ronnie här i Sverige.
Does Monsieur Romance wear wax canvas shorts?
i have a 750cc motorcycle, but i enjoy riding my bicycles more 😁
i wanna be this man
Nice Men, i share same etik!
I’m looking for a 26” fork like the one your thrashin’, care to share? I’m working on an old school General 26” 1” threaded MTB and looking to reduce the rake, thanks! Btw the video makes me wanna go kick out on some leaves and mash some fire roads
Guys handle bars like that but for a 31.8 stem? I have a ritchey kyote but I woul like more back sweep
either full lycra or dressing for 5 different seasons at the same time
