the JaYoe Nation 

🌍 I’m Matt—filmmaker, traveler, father, and trike rider. Years ago, I left behind a “normal” life to cycle from China to the USA on a recumbent trike. That journey evolved into something bigger: a global adventure through cycling, vanlife, travel, and storytelling.

JaYoe Nation documents that journey—across continents, cultures, and life’s unpredictable detours. From van builds to bike tours, family life in China to solo travel across North America, this channel shares the highs, lows, and everything in between.

“JaYoe” (加油) means “add fuel” in Chinese—and that’s what this is all about: adding fuel to life through bold decisions and meaningful exploration.

I’m leaving China on a very productive trip. I have tons and tons and tons of video stories to tell on the channel that I will be delivering over the course of probably in the next few months and when I got my ticket from the counter, the boy at the counter was super nervous and said “I watch your videos!” What a great sendoff.

The van and trike tour is finally coming to an end. I am in an airplane on my way to china for a few weeks. I have 2 more episodes to share of the van and trike before I reset the channel to present day and share the present day. Hope everyone is well. JaYoe!

I realize that I haven’t posted much recently. I’ve been sort of on a mission to get to a point of health that I haven’t been in for a very long time and I’ve been focused on some other business things. I will be back It’s just gonna take a little time but today is my birthday. I am 47 years young and I have hit a milestone. I told myself I wanted to be under 90 kg by my birthday and I hit the mark!! I’ll tell you more about that later, but right now, I appreciate you all and I will see you soon.

Hey guys, how’s it going? I’ve just landed in Palm Springs about two months removed from the videos that you’re watching currently. I was invited to Palm Springs to visit Tri-a-bike and the crew there to ride around this beautiful sunny,…. not snowy…. area and I said “hell yeah!” so after I finish up the videos of my ride in Europe, you’ll see me riding in Palm Springs. I literally just landed and this is the view from my plane’s window just before we landed. ‪@azubrecumbents‬

This was awesome! I will show my perspective of this ride in one of my future videos. I wiped out and mashed my arm. But it was so much fun! Watch this in 360 view and tell Granden JaYoe sent you!

Hey friends! Hope you are all doing well and whether you celebrate or not, give thanks to what you have in this world. Im rolling out the van and trike tour episodes pretty regularly, and appreciate you all for sharing them with me. I have about 8 more until the tour wraps up for now and we all head to europe to cycle around Czechia and Austria for the 25th anniversary of AZUB. So look forward to that.
