this video gets me so pumped to ride. good to see the real riders out there doing their thing. REAL HEART. none of that matching the wheels with their shoes crap that they do here in LA. im gettting out of this fake city to ride with you guys. My dream..
Arrggghhhh! I miss fixie riding so much, but with a screwed knee( hit by car) I can't hack the peddling , so I gotta gear it! GOOD RIGING,! Damn I miss being a messenger!
I'm a San Francisco Courier; one of the toughest cities to do it and one of the most rewarding. No traffic!?! Get out of Nevada! The courier community here can always use one more.
I like seeing vids like this.... Inspires me to ride harder :) I think this Is the essence of fixed riding- just bombing around town..... Barspinzzzz get damn boring after a while!!
im not key on bicycles, so those are track bikes?? im looking to get a bicycle so is that what i should ask for?? i would really appreciate anyones feed back thanks!
YES ITS SO GREAT. i dont get much of that adrenaline anymore since i moved to nevada, theres no traffic=no fun, but i do swerve inbetween the cars in traffic outisde of the school after school, where do you work?
Cars which pull out of driveways, parking lots, and cross streets are looking at oncoming traffic waiting to turn onto the road. If you're riding against traffic, they won't see you and you will definitely have “some kinda accident happen”. For more: bicyclesafe com
@pmyzjc What I meant by that is the messengers in all the different cities are always sorta competing at trick offs and alleycat races and what not, and everyone has pride in their own city. Talk to any messenger in NYC they're gonna say NYC has the sickest riders and is roughest city, same with LA and SF. Either way, every city has made a hometown video kinda like a form of pride and this is NYC's. You can watch SF's on youtube, search "mash sf part 1"
Bike courier here: I love running reds-- there's no greater adrenaline rush than dodging traffic. I could care less what people have to say about my behavior.
@Bartman67 I'm going to agree with you here... although I'm sure it's fun, these guys are putting themselves in danger but more importantly are endangering the safety of others. I read anti-cyclist and anti-bike lane rants often and I never get what people have against cyclists until I see videos like this. It does indeed give the rest of us a bad name.
These guys cause the confusion. Cos more gears is better, road bikes are faster, blah blah blah but these guys are all riding fixed gear bikes. These guys are flying around!
you realize if everyone rode this way there would be new bicycle laws due to all collisions with each other (cycle vs cycle) I live in vegas and mash the blvd with alot of friends and there are always close encounters with hitting each other
fuck yeah it looks turnt up af over in sf lol, all the drivers here are drugged up and have no common sense i feel so uncomfortable on the road here, but im thinking if im gonna be a courier ill go to la cause i used to live out there
they do, but these guys dont ride a bike always for a stroll in the park, they do it as theyre jobs, and they get paid by commission, and the faster they deliver a package, the more they get paid, im sure theyed like to not run a red light if theyre pay didnt depend on it
@miscriant Are you being serious? It says NYC in the tags, all the cars have NEW YORK license plates, nearly all the comments mention NYC. I hate to sound like an ass, I'm only trying to save yourself future embarrassment. :)
NO one could inspire me to be dumm and ride like they do its dangerous and care less, and it gives Bike rides a bad name, you want to do some thing for cycling that can help , respect the law and don't be hanging on cars and blowing thou lights, Bicycles have to practice safety and laws to.
Riding a fixie that will screw your knees, or not using a helmet, or doing dangerous tricks is cool and is the rider's problem. But riding a fixie without breaks, because "they know how to do it, not all people can do this" or "bombing" between traffic and pedestrians is everybody else's problem. So if you find that driving dangerously is fun, go play a bloody video game, don't risk our lives.
People that ride like that in traffic are idiots. If they really want to feel the true thrill and adrenaline rush that can be got from cycling they should race. Track racing is awesome. Otherwise ride properly.
didn´t like the movie. i use bike and i think riding that irresponsible way would only give drivers a reason to hate us, and to try to kill us using their cars. (here in my country there are a lot of drivers that think streets are for cars and bikers should die).
this video gets me so pumped to ride.
good to see the real riders out there doing their thing. REAL HEART.
none of that matching the wheels with their shoes crap that they do here in LA.
im gettting out of this fake city to ride with you guys. My dream..
There is something so incredibly cool about running your hand along the side of a bus...I love doing it while riding my motorcycle too...
Along wiyh the Firemen, these are my heroes!
Arrggghhhh! I miss fixie riding so much, but with a screwed knee( hit by car) I can't hack the peddling , so I gotta gear it! GOOD RIGING,! Damn I miss being a messenger!

3:13 ! What?!?! Highway!?! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
It depends what you want to ride.... These are track bikes... But you may want a road bike... It all depends on what you want.
you realize if everyone rode this way there would be new bicycle laws due to all collisions with each other (cycle vs cycle) I live in vegas and mash the blvd with alot of friends and there are always close encounters with hitting each other
And Jakarta....and India.....and Bangkok...... all these cities have 'make your own road' driving mentality. Super dangerous.
You people dont
Get it this is how it is in ny. This is how people make a living and its not wrong by any means.
Rip wonka

@InfernalStateMachine You seriously think that a bicycle would win versus a car in an accident?

fuck yeah it looks turnt up af over in sf lol, all the drivers here are drugged up and have no common sense i feel so uncomfortable on the road here, but im thinking if im gonna be a courier ill go to la cause i used to live out there
@pmyzjc you're obviously not a messenger

If you think London and LA are bad try Bristol
@killerbeau95 you work for a company...and you dont live in manhattan
Because they are going extremely slow.
they do, but these guys dont ride a bike always for a stroll in the park, they do it as theyre jobs, and they get paid by commission, and the faster they deliver a package, the more they get paid, im sure theyed like to not run a red light if theyre pay didnt depend on it

This is why I hate single speed cyclist.

doing tricks on a track bike is so stupid
wow these guys give cyclists a bad name. if they did this in hawaii eventually they would get hurt
Try living anywhere in the UK. Beyond boring.
