Thanks

I use to own a small shop and was in the industry managing, buying and repairing stuff for a long time. It is really tough to make it all work and survive on a living wage. I really admire and am glad what your trying to do here. I'm hoping you pull it off.

It's funny, I had a similar experience on my channel this last week. A video I made about a cnc-dropper post lever is just racking in crazy views and subscribers right now.. I guess it helps when you actually have a channel with some content, otherwise if you get a viral'esc video, no one would subscribe, but if it's visible that you're producing decent sht.. I think people will sub up, GJ on your journey bud

This is my favorite bike channel right now. For me, a big part is the fact that the narration is so good- everything is being explained. I also like how it comes along with little nuggets of comedy and life truths.You've done it right Mr BikeFarmer, congrats and I hope it keeps up!

the "why bike mechanics are assholes" got me! Happy for you!

You just have had cross the border. You got a new fan from México. Congrats 🎉

Couldn’t be happier for you, sir. Always gives me a lift, seeing one of the good guys do well 🍻

I'm a former bike messenger, and a new subscriber who is digging your content. Thanks man!

recently viewed your channel for the first time and am hooked. Congrats on the success. I am a self trained bike mechanic working on my own bikes. Started as a kid inspired and taught by by best friends older brother who was a garage rat fixing everything mechanical - cars, lawn mowers, motorcycles and bikes. Your channel reminds me of the enthusiasm first experienced back in the day and continues today. Thank you for sharing. Well Done!.

Congratulations! I have been on KZread for 10 years and only monetised a year ago, but I have nothing close to a 200k video. Best I did recently was 50k and I thought that was really good? I think your subject was just perfect, it’s funny I never thought to do the same thing, because I’m a total bike mechanic a-hole and I honestly don’t mind talking about things that annoy me. 😅👍🏻

I subscribed after watching a pretty routine bike maintenance video because it reminded me so much of RJ The Bike Guy, a personal KZread hero of mine. I still refer to his videos but it’s nice having another creator with a similar philosophy on bikes.

Congratulations, brother!!! 💪🏽💪🏽 I enjoy your channel so much!! I never would've bought One Step, Tri-Flow, and cheap pledge! Seriously, thanks for all of your info and help!!

Good work! I LOVED the a55hole mechanic video! I got a LOT of bikes in my garage too, and they nearly ALL need a LITTLE TLC...I got some watchin' & learnin' to do. Get after it brother, keep up the good work you know BEST.

Great stuff. It also helps that you're a well spoken, down to earth, dedicated content creator!

Congratulations! I'm one of the people that watched the video and shared it with everyone I know. After watching some more of your content I subscribed on Sunday. I hope you keep making videos and that your channel will earn you that extra income in the off season. If you lived in SC there's no off season, but some people don't ride in what we call winter here.

Your viral video is what got to me and all I was looking for old bike refurbishment thank you! Well done! I’ve already shared so much

Damn man, that viral video got me to subscribe and now I am here. And I liked hearing your youtube journey even more! I have had my channel since 08 and I had some successful videos early on and really never put much time into making content. Congrats on becoming a real KZreadr!

Glad you popped up on my radar! Cheers, you have inspired me to start making a home bike shop, get back on the bike, even scour Craigslist for a bike to fix. Keep it rolling!

You're not "just" a bicycle mechanic. You're also a great personality and talented editor. I know people that are "just" mechanics and believe me, you wouldn't want to watch a video of them explaining anything lol

Congrats! Aside from being a mechanic, you are engrained in the bike. Mechanic, shop owner (small business), rider/advocate/commuter (lifestyle), and sub culture rider (Randoneering). You cover a lot of ground and hats in the vids. Appreciate you from HTX.

Congratulations! Seeing the thumbnail of your viral video and given the timeframe, I think that's what got me to subscribe 🙂 Keep them coming!

Welcome aboard!

Congrats! This past weekend I used Dawn Powerwash and Triflow to clean and oil my 1982 Trek 720 road bike. It now shines, shift's like new, and brakes work great! All thanks to your videos.

Been watching for a while. Awesome to see your subscribers growing! I'm sure the milestones will start coming quickly!!

Congratulations. You're way more than " just a Mechanic ". Keep farming.

No, Thank you!! Thank you for making content that's watchable, enjoyable and educational. Im one of the few that started with you at the beginning and i have been pulling for you ever since. Congrats!!

I like your channel when you’re tooling on the bike and being natural, just talking whilst working. It works for me

Me too! But to make it worth it, I need more viewers, so I need to make viral content to grow the channel. I'm getting way better at producing the bike fixing videos too!

You deserve it! Often times I can only get two or three minutes into a video but yours was so well done I listened to the whole thing and thoroughly enjoyed it.

This was also an awesome 20 days for us, the viewers. Thanks for the good content 👍

Hey, that video popped up in my suggested videos last week. I liked it and watched 2-3 older videos of yours and decided to subscribe. Best of luck and keep up the great content!

Congrats. Creation is nothing without skill, you are smashing it.

Nice work - you seem so happy now. Congrats. Keep it going brother!

That video was what helped me find your channel. Double bonus that I have family in your area that like bikes (non-cyclists 🤣)

YT and other social media are kinda saturated with bike repair content, but your channel is still a great addition b/c you have a methodical, analytical approach to the videos.... many others don't provide consistently useful content.

Good for You! Jerry renovated my 1978 Guild D-35 Natural. It is the first guitar I ever purchased.

Im real happy for you! Thats great. Friends have told me I should do something similar. I can kinda see why, as when Im working I teach, tell stories and get the owner excited about thier bike. I make people think thier bike is cool. I relate to you, you're not just working on elite road bikes. Thats what I watch a lot. Im gonna start visualizing what my channel might be like. Right on dude!

I was looking up on how to tune up old bikes and your video came up on the thrift store you tuned up, I enjoy how you keep things simple. Also the info on Randonneuring was interesting. I never new about that and went on to look for more info on it. Thanks for the vids and hope your channel keeps growing. Keep the vids coming.

Happy for you! Keep ur hard work.

I enjoy your content and your light hearted banter. You don't take yourself seriously, which is endearing and it's relaxing to watch you work and talk about bikes. Thanks for the great informative content, and I wish you all the success. I love bikes! 🚲

Congrats man! I'm glad your video popped off because I was able to discover your channel. It was on my home page for recommended videos the other night. I really enjoyed it. I made a video like 5 years ago on my 5 tips for bike commuting success. It got like 200 views in 2 weeks. Then all of a sudden it started getting a ton of views and I gained a lot of subs. I think it's at like 90k views now so it kinda died off but boy was it a fun few days when it was getting all the views. Keep grinding, man!

KZread's algorithm finally showed me your video today. Excellent work on getting this to happen. And this follow up video proves to me that you're not a flash in the pan. I am hitting the like and subscribe button now.

Good for you dude. Love the sarcasm you have in these videos

Gotta be honest. I was rubbed the wrong way by that video, but i did sub, and I did start watching your other videos. Lol, you won the internet!

Congrats man!!

Congratulations! You're doing great, keep up the good work.

Congratulations Andy!

Congratulations, I've been watching you long before that video. Keep doing what you're doing, and keep making videos of those cycling rando adventures as well....

Not gonna lie.. found you on the 14th and bumped the algorithm. Beta tester powers.

Thank you for sharing your story. Keep up the great work and stay safe out there.

Stay naive, stay real and I will stay watching 😃. Congrats!

Congrats! From having watched a few of your lengthy videos, I’d say it’s well deserved! I’m very much a bike n00b and have little-to-no know-how, sadly. But was searching a specific issue. Then had subbed to No Boring Days 🚲 because of this same type of clear presentation. Then you got thrown into my algorithm w/ the popular click-bait vid 😆 I live in Madison WI, and when I found out you’re within the vicinity, and share the same name as me, that was a definite sub 😆 Was psyched to see a ride in the Driftless Area pop up soon after! Thnx!

👍👍👍CONGRATS, you also deserve it!!!!! 👍👍👍

I found your channel about the same time I found the Home Bicycle Mechanics group on FB. Then you joined it, and I thought "here he is". I loved your channel from the beginning, keep it up! Enjoy the success!

Congrats man love the channel

Congrats and good luck pursuing your dreams!

Thanks for sharing your story! Very Inspiring.

That's awesome brother. You got me to subscribe. I enjoy the content for sure. Good job!!!❤

Thanks for sharing and all the best!

The Bob Ross circle wipe/transitions are hilarious.

Just letting you know, you popped up in my feed, my kinda stuff…then I saw you in the FB group that I frequently contribute to. Was great to see you on there and soo glad you’ve become famous mate. You’re not lucky, hard work paying off.

Thank you for the inspiration,

Thank you for posting this, it has certainly inspired me to continue with my channel!

Staying tuned for more! LOL..😂

Ha ha you hooked me and I didnt want to move away so that you got full benefit. And content is good too..

Roll on Dude! Well good Sir. I look forward to your adventure on KZread. Cheers - M

Wonderful to hear it! Much further success to you! I hope to be along for the ride, pun intended.

Well done dude.

Congratulations!

Maybe you could do a video about how to replace a Cannondale headshok. And I mean replace as in get rid of it, I had mine welded solid after the 4th rebuild. Some lasted a month one lasted a year, but they’re JUNK. Good on you for your success!!! Well deserved… a no BS approach to bike fix’n

Thanks for sharing I'm trying to get started myself

Congratulations, Andy! BTW, speaking of passive income, you know that Bob Ross has passed-on quite some time ago, don't you? I just found your channel today and have signed-up.

great video. I'm gonna try to make more travel videos on my chinese dual sport motorcycle this spring

Very cool, I'm always glad when people get rewarded for the efforts! Fantastic. ( I still think monetization is a myth...Yes I believe you..(Great news) Just that isn't the norm. Keep up the great work! Pedal hard!!!)

Keep up the great work your doing ;) I’m on my 3rd year being a bike repair

Well done!

Hey Man dont forget me when you get your Silver Play Button from KZread! Always love your soothing content!

That thumbnail kept popping up in my feed and it looked like one of those outlaw biker mafia videos😜😝

👍🏻 This is very cool, congrats !!!!

Thank you for the formula

I enjoy watching your videos and I haven’t even seen you pick up a tool!

Go Bike Farmer, go!!!

Chapeau.

Thanks for sharing

What a great story bud. You’ve inspired me to haul ass and do video content again.

You deserve it dude.

Nice tips, I'll try some of it and see how it goes.

Congrats, well 👏 deserved. Keep it on. Greetings from Amsterdam bike capital of the world.

It's easy to recognize the real deal. watching your videos like those famous potato chips, can't watch just one. A pleasure to watch a true profession. Keep posting, please. Thanks

Because it's good! I shared your video on Facebook.

Hey buddy! You inspired my son and I to see what we can do with our channel. I had seen your post and have been watching since. Any updates?

You're the Bob Ross now, king

I don't know if I would call it passive income. You put a lot of work into these.

We got you bro

i like this guy! even more!

I liked honest and quick-paced Why Bike Mechanics Are Such video & shared it & then subscribed. Even my real cyclist friend (not me the pseudo cyclist) liked it. Then I liked the pastoral riding of the Driftless videos. Best wishes going forward.

Yey, continue. I like bikes!

Being strongly opinionated is quite a common trend among peddle bikers, sir you are not alone. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos but I wouldn't let you get within 6 feet of my peddle bike with your aerosol cans. Noooo Freekin Waaay!!! Keep up the entertaining content and all the best for the future.

your knowledge is value

WooHoo 🎉 🙌🏽
