I haven't had a car for two years, and I've biked through two winters in North Dakota so far. Over that time I've really grown attached to biking and I appreciate it a lot more (plus it keeps me in some form of shape) I'm known by my friends as a bicyclist. Good episode, wish I was there riding with them.

My people! Love this. I'm an old dude on a bike that's been riding for years. I have this same love for bikes even to this day. Thanks for the view of LA cycling culture.

I'm a cyclist in NYC. Definitely can relate to the aggressive drivers, but it's all part of the game and I love every minute of it.

[dwaynepedals]

This was dope! I remember several years ago doing a Wolfpack Hustle Sprint race. Those dudes are a family for sure. Coming out from NY they showed a lot of love and met a lot of cool dudes from LA.

Nice to see how young Americans enjoy biking. Greetings from The Netherlands!

This is pretty cool. Bikes are good for the world. I don't rock tricks like these dudes but I'm a dedicated bike commuter.

Someday, I want to live in Copenhagen because it is so bike friendly.

I agree, fixies are a gateway drug... I started out with a track bike. It didn't take me long to move onto something with gears, but man.... That bike was pure, unadulterated fun.

Road, Cyclocross, Track, MTB, and BMX, and subcultures by themselves.

[TheFezzik]

This was an excellent episode. I don't like bike riding, but now I better understand people that do.

[VisoK]

Lovely story! i know im quite late, the video is from 2012 my gosh, now we are 2020 and i enjoyed the video.
Greetings from sLOVEnia. Love cycling.

[Dabones]

Cycling even has subcultures within, they touched base with the average joe rider, but when you get on the pro level you see different personalities of riders. There are the super aggressive track riders (like myself) to the speed freak roadies, to the rough and tumble cyclocrossers. this is what makes the sport so great.

[danielduanetv]

thats awesome. when i move to la i'm going to do this wolfpack thing.

[robear]

Wonderful video about a wonderfulsub-culture in LA . Thanks for showing this. I love riding and have for over 50 years now. It's a nice way to connect with others. It's a nice way to learn more about who we are as a person too.

[kristoferd.rennard]

Very cool video. Really cool tricks for such big bikes. Nice to see others would rather cycle than pump thousands of gallons of spent fuel into the atmosphere.

[sandalerupte]

i'm glad there's someone else who think exact the way I do

[albastidas]

Awesome, honest, real and to the point, I feel you men, Viva la Bicicleta!

[mauhaxr]

Riding is a one of a kind thing. It fells freeing and is good for your body.

[EphemeraAeterna]

I adore these subculture videos. So interesting!

[ashvic]

I have a mountain bike. I have changed the tires so its easier to ride it on the road. I cycle 7.5km everyday to work and again to go home. I LOVE IT!

[FreeLion]

Thanks for posting this video. I ride my old dirt bike all the time here in Davis, CA, and have never riden a fixer, or raced, but have lots of friends who do one or the other. Not too many do both, but that seems to be related to age. Younger guys & gals prefer fixers around here, while the older riders gravitate toward the street bikes and racers for regular multi-dozen-mile trips through and around town. If you like bicycles, you'd love Davis, though it is VERY flat.
