After The Fall

[zephyrdezyhpos]

how often do you get a stick in the wheel?

[FlashDusk]

what number did you guys call at the beginning?

[THELONGSHOREMAN]

@FlashDusk

just some local weather hotline one day when i was filming and freezing.....

[TheNewStoryLine]

I remember back in 2003-2008... when nobody really knew about fixed gear.... now it's a world wide epidemic.

*sigh* life used to be much easier without hipsters on their Bianchi San Jose's or their wierd ass colorful bikes... *sigh*

[nilo2209]

@TheNewStoryLine would you rather have them sitting in cars and on scooters polluting the air?

[IsaacBickerstaffEsq]

Dear Milwaukee, I just want you to know that there is at least one New Yorker who remembers that you were once part of the core that kept fixed gear alive in America long enough for hip, young New Yorkers to think they invented it and make fun of you for not being as hip for riding fixed gear as they are.

Thank you.

[THELONGSHOREMAN]

@yada147258

COOL STORY BRO, 2007.

[babyque93]

milwaukee is the lamest city you possibly could do a documentary on!!!

[babyque93]

milwaukee is hick town!!!

[elilichtenberg]

@babyque93 no it aspires to be a hick town!

[Rmndnvrr]

fucking depressing, but hey they're out there trying!!!

[staphoz]

take a shit and empty their toilets damn...

[VEGASCUHZ]

bike polo looks like fun

[MrHxCforever]

awesome video showing off milwaukee riders

[lodiidol]

oh my god this video changed the way i view cycling. this is an inspiration to anyone hoping to someday be a hipster. seriously, thank you, seaman.

[EECIEI]

@lodiidol not every one that rides fixed gears is a hipster

[Snorlaxish]

after watching this i feel like playing a few rounds of bike polo!

lol

[natedcruz]

this video is awesome. I love living in milwaukee and biking through the different seasons, keeps things interesting

[winklerwheeles]

this vido is amzing

[be4tleee]

the streets are dead...

[goldenEWSD]

Ok, I ride a fixed gear myself but I use a mudguard even if it's not as cold here as in Milwaukee. (Hungary) I don't understand why they don't use mudguards in that snow and mess. It's not that heavy. It can save you a lot of trouble and dirt.

[hermeticMC]

some people are just badass and don't need mudgards.

[chh5555]

For some people the aesthetics of the bike are more important than the practicality. A bike with fenders just doesn't make it!

[jokerbaby2]

where is this

[saborexplosivo]

Milwaukee

[rezanicholson]

That's a great film, I didn't realise there are bike film festivals. I'm amazed you all ride around in the snow, we've just had a fair amount in london and as much as I desperately wanted to, I couldn't go riding. Take it easy!

[JustSimplyGeorge]

What if they like Bike Polo? They don't have anything to prove, especially not to you.

[irideafixy]

i nerver said they had to prove anything i just said my opinion buddy sorry if i hurt you feeling but get over it

[bteeuwen]

the bike polo looks like a load of fun.

[dredlew]

gotta do what you gotta do.

[majorpainful]

milwaukee is the place where greyhound buses stop to empty their toilets and people go for a shit, then you just continue your trip.

[PlanetEclipse1212]

hahahaha

[divinejudge1]

shit man, it is too cold for me to ride.

[h702k]

Damn, I would love to bring my bike down there, I live in Green Bay and it's horrible to ride

[drivensydeways]

what an awesome video, edited very well. milwaukee is a great city, i love riding it. you guys are nuts going out in the cold like that, and it looks like playing bike polo is a blast. take care keep the rubber side down

-mike

[fixedgeargirl]

I watch this vid about 3x a week -- it inspires me :o)

[THELONGSHOREMAN]

All of the music in the video was produced by a great friend of mine, and is available for purchase on the iTunes Music Store

Artist: Density and Time

Album: Resonant Frequencies 002

[jajajah86]

that was fast...:)

[jajajah86]

What's the music at 5:15?

[fitzpantsenson]

DUDE! At the end where the sticker says "I am traffic"! That's what I've been saying for years! I remember being a messenger in SF and people saying, "get out of the road you're blocking traffic!" I'd say, "STFU, I AM TRAFFIC!"

Good video. I love it.

[poopbop]

hell yeah milwaukee - bikes and beer - how fdof;iawe'n beautiful does it get...bike the line, e23

[gaylord400]

Hey man this is your Nephew Nick hahah!!!!

[scottleemeyers]

where does the sunday polo go down? are there several spots throughout the cream city that bike polo is played? i want to get in on the action.

[adambee32]

i mean, were all the music selections density & time?

[adambee32]

nice film! i enjoyed it. what's the music?

[Sixmyth]

nicely made! milwaukee is a bit like Hamilton, Ontario :)

[KurtRaether]

Wow. I think you really captured the grit of this city in those opening shots. Well done. I don't think I've seen anything that really showed what Milwaukee is like in the winter like this.

[dandiacalbody]

god how depressing

give me NYC anyday

[trackmah]

i like the cold better than the heat though.. sucks being all sweaty.

i need one of them guards for the back wheel

[lakeofstew]

much love and respect from montreal where it's -30C and the drivers actively try to kill you!!

[TumbleweedinChina]

liked it very much, obv. from someone who loves riding their bike...

[mattmund]

I too live in Milwaukee(suburbs.) I too bike all through the winter. 5 stars for this video.

[jabbadabbadoo]
