Best Bike Video Ever

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I agree, and I share your enthusiasm. This is quite possibly the greatest achievement ever in the cycling world. Right after I finish typing these words I am going to wander into the kitchen and gouge out my eyes with a fork, for having witnessed this wondrous achievement, there is nothing else I can ever see that will compare, I don't want to ever sully the memory of this glorious video by seeing another thing.

Surely when God created the heaven and the earth for mankind to inhabit - it was only so that one day this miraculous video be created. WELL DONE SIR!!!

That was good

Indeed this is above the rest in the sense that first he is riding with traffic, the song is good, and for those who follow the helmet or don't ride ideal well he's wearing one. It is interesting to see as you pass a gas station would of been nice to see the prices as to how high they are ... Otherwise this seems to be a good video to at least show to the driving public a bicycle is a vehicle and when traveling with traffic it is easier to predict what the person will do. Since there were not to many major turns I did not see many hand signals, otherwise I say well done.

I like a few of those, but one of my favorites is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kif_S8wwRRs . I love the song, actually downloaded it so I could listen to it whenever I feel like. For some reason, this video just gets me motivated on those days when I might not have the drive to get out there and ride. Some of his (ogonzilla) other videos are pretty good also. Keep em coming, I really enjoy some of the videos and I think I'll have to find that American Flyer movie for a watch some day.

That video make's me mad. I hate those pretentious fixies, the "i fell out of bed ready to handle the day" dressed to ride my minimalist bike that i ride so powerfully around the city where i'm invincible and i can feel the cars and make my own way by touching them........ life is so cool, i'm edgy...... bang i'm dead cause i don't have breaks and my chain rusted away and i got hit by that truck i cut off last week.

And what's with the pre-requisite shorts over black tights? Afraid to look like a real cyclist, instead of a new age hippie groovy dude just hanging out on ur bike?

Honestly, EivlEvo, your track record isn't the greatest nor most admirable. That's just one example, there are others.

Please, for your own sake: stop.

Um actually that IS the ONLY example.

I suppose racism is what you make of it. Im certainly not a racist. Nor a bigget, nor any of those other things you called me.

But... since apparently I've offended you, I'll stop. I'll ask that you take your own advice and do the same.
