[andrekhor]

Circus rejects



[miscriant]

what city is this filmed at?

[ambeck8704]

@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. :)

[JAYFROMHARLEM]

@miscriant NYC

[InfernalStateMachine]

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.

[TripleJohnston]

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

[InfernalStateMachine]

@TripleJohnston No I don't. I'm more concerned about the fixie vs pedestrian case anyway. What was your point ?

[supersexjuice]

what twats

[Maccaism]

im am happy to see people on bikes and out of cars. but this shit is just dangerous and when i see people cycling like this, no wonder drivers hate us. i mean, riding between on-coming traffic??

[otacon451]

@Maccaism ive seen roadies doing htat in nyc

[chaqualha]

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).

[earthboundcruiser]

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...

[diogosupertkd]

Cyclists quite skilled, but irresponsible! Go against the hand is not no fun! Almost did not run over people. Not to mention supporting bus! Personal care, the attitudes of others can harm you!

[MORESk8te]

Cool :)

[MrPillowpants92]

u know i get called a hipster fag every day for riding fixed gears that i have been riding for years. and now its becoming a trend and i get shit from the little shit trend followers calling me a noob for not doing tricks and shit. its not about that shit! it about the rush of speeding through traffic with no brakes or handling a package that needs to get delivered to MSG in 3 minutes and hauling ass. these kids dont know shit! theydont even know what a Bianchi is what happened to having heart?

[oybproductions]

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!

[shilohhhhhhh]

@oybproductions if you say fixie i doubt you're a messenger.

[MultiMick666]

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.

[astruthers]

@jpdemers you may be misunderstanding natural selection. Darwinian selection is concerned with future generations inheriting of the specific genes these cyclist possess. What you imply, please correct me if I'm wrong, is something like "survival of the fittest". What is important to know is that "survival of the fittest" is a Smithian term attributed to political economics, not a Darwinian term attributed to biology.

[indiewaynee]

Hi what sone is this anyone

[MrOatmealguy]

awesome music.i think ive seen the girl riding round the city before.dope bikes

[HennessyPatrick]

3:13 ! What?!?! Highway!?! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[jpdemers]

Darwinian selection will take its toll on these idiots.

[LittoBUbbo]

WOO that one dude had a helmet =D

[Bibelbabys]

hey, got FACEBOOK ?

[85xriDER]

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.

[tradernorton05]

@85xriDER

Listen up sweets,

There's nothing wrong with making a living, but there is something terribly wrong when a rider blows through a red light and slams into an old lady breaking both her hips.

Crack heads make their living by stealing, so your logic apparently suggests its not wrong by any means.

[xxCAGExx]

what is called when you slide the back tire..like at 0:36 and how do you do it?

[Bibelbabys]

@xxCAGExx thats the way how to brake with a fixie ..

[xdsk0x]

NYNY<3

[Vecchionskee]

shut the fuck up with the hipster shit. damn.

theres not one fixed gear video on youtube that doesnt have that word somewhere in the comments.

[dudeitsart]

@Vecchionskee agreed!

although the vast majority of fixed gear riders at the moment are hipsters it not right to call every one who rides a certain kind of bike so.

it's like calling someone who listens to rock emo

or some one who listens to hip hop gangster

its just straight out bullshit!

[CokesnortinFreemason]

This is how they ride in every city , I drive a big truck though and am mindful to the cyclists . They are pretty quick and agile though so I don't think that I would hit them . I came here for the song BTW , thanks .

[kingbanion]

Is that blueish-greenish bike a Bianchi or a Torelli or what?

[jonnystiles]

@kingbanion pretty sure there aren't any of those. What time code?

[noavailabledata]

@kingbanion Its a BMW

[chita73]

@kingbanion n000b! BMW ftw. gangstatrack all dayyyyy

[bizza52]

riding against traffic? now thats fucking cool

[ItsKaczor]

awesome.

[boomkingg]

why hate its just fun to ride like this

[brianyoou]

its normal in new york

[jecjec81]

this is why I hate hipsters!

[jecjec81]

This is why I hate single speed cyclist. 

[2robert00]

so hipster bro

[killerbeau95]

Guessing your bike messangers...

How much do you make and how do you get employed because NYC is a damn expensive city...

BUT SO F-ING AWESOME!

[freeskier80]

@killerbeau95 you work for a company...and you dont live in manhattan

[gnarlysky]

It premiered! Come out on video now!

[HalcyonTy]

sick!

[Gareth380]

rad video

[northchun1]

i like that performance song

[Bartman67]

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.

[pbird83]

@Bartman67 I completely agree. This aggravates me to no end. It gives the rest of us a bad name.

[saintjacob1]

@pbird83 If you think New York City is a nice, safe place to ride than don't buy a bike. I used to love bombing 9th Avenue until these dumb-ass bike lanes they built. Go fast or go home.

[boomkingg]

@pbird83 there just having fun...

[ginoinabottle]

@Bartman67 shut up pussy

[nightshadedapple]

@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.

[somethingdiesforever]

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!!

[nbrink611]

yeah, thats pretty amazing, using road bikes to swerve through heavy new york traffic and make yourself look like a complete fucking idiot.

[lauralaz1]

its amazing how youre so bitter that you had to make that comment. Also....road bikes lol

[pmyzjc]

I really don't get this. I'm all for enjoying riding but why you feel you need to validate your experience by making a video? Can't you just have fun without this? How is this going to be distributed? Are you going to sell dvds of it or have a premier?

By all means ride on, but this is bloody ridiculous.

[m0thersuperi0r76]

@pmyzjc you're obviously not a messenger

[m0thersuperi0r76]

@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"

[admit2nothing]

yeah this looks good.

[tyronety2000]

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

[chrisdadude456]

whats the song here called

[jonnystiles]

Fractured Skies by Parts and Labor.

[christian522]

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..

[coffeeisdope]

cool, a video showing some nyc bicyclists acting like a bunch of jerks. so epic!

[noobstink]

amazzzing

[jeffchen]

sweet video!

[nappyrootsman]

this video sealed the deal..

im going to new york

[CANDIDCANVAS]

[xCODYBAGSx]

[duhnish]

i'm so stoked for this video! i can't wait for it to come out.
