@@quinnreierson perhaps... I don't break stuff. I just wear stuff out and replace it before it breaks. But breaking stuff and crashing is all part of mountain biking
The true cyclist never breaks his stuff or wears it out because he replaces it regularly with newer better parts and when he finds himself on dirt rides so carefully that grandma can actually walk carefully. While the cyclist is perfectly at home riding on pavement and running red lights in the name of speed, he is absolutely terrified of the loss of traction that comes from turning especially on dirt and with trees in any sort of vicinity.

I commute to work using a bicycle. I considered myself a cyclist because I started thinking about how roads, transit, and cities are designed from the perspective of someone who relies on a bicycle to get from point A to point B. I have learned from this video that I am not a cyclist, I’m a commuter. I follow traffic laws and stop at red lights because I don’t want to die and believe that the rules do, in fact, apply to me as well. I have a bike lock because I only ride my bike for about 30 min a day. I chose my helmet based on durability rather than aerodynamics. I only shelled out enough money for a decent bicycle and not a performance-optimized one. I wear normal clothing while riding my bike because I don’t want to look like a chump in public and at work. Yeah, I’m a commuter, not a cyclist.
I just always stay on the sidewalk, because sharing a road with cars is basically suicide. Also no helmet: especially in winter, since it doesn't fit over the thick hat.
There is also the "competitive commuter" who times himself on the commute and tries to beat his fastest time, while also willing to commute 30km back and forth every day just for the sake of a challenge.

Dutch commuters, however, do not have the addiction to aero and have been seen to cycle in winds of up to 200km/h, while carrying an entire IKEA closet on their bike rack, as well as a shopping bag in their hands.
Grand_Master lol sneak one of his bikes and use it for commuting and then wash the bike at your local gas station with a jetwash. Make sure you sneak the more lightest or aero one
Real shit; I've been coming back to this video over and over again for the last year and half and EVERY TIME it gets more hard belly laughs than any Netflix comedy special in the last two years. The replay value of your material tops any one else out there schlepping yuks to the masses. I love you. i should probably mention, I'm a cyclist.
@@RD1R This is a fact. Mountain bikers get injured more often but usually the injuries are minor. Road cyclists get killed all the time. Probably everyday there's a fatality in the US.
There's a 3rd category: The ones who say they're just commuting because they're slow, but they try their hardest and race cars or other cyclists on the road, who are not racing them.
I'll add a 4th to that; the Dutch cyclist, we cycle everywhere. If you add up all the time we cycle compared to the the rest of the world we come in first as a nation and that is with a bit over 17 million people.
In college I was a commuter who thought she was a cyclist. Big u-lock always attached, lots of reflectors, headlight. But now that I’ve graduated I spent the money I should be spending on student loans to buy a nice road bike. Look out world, a new cyclist is coming
but in this case chadness and virginess almost reversed, commuter not really into aero because he is busy with ladies and "manly staff" like sport cars and being Royal Marine, while virgin cyclist not having a lot to left behind by focusing on cycling only
In the Netherlands people see it the opposite, race cyclists are annoying and ignoring the rules to be slightly faster, commuters don't care about how aerodynamic the bike is and don't wear a shitty helmet.
I've seen Dutch bike traffic. It's not "a little bit faster". That's why I never want Canada to turn into the Netherlands. I'd much rather ride my bike among cars than grandmothers.
Na the seat post height will be the same between the two. It's how its' used that makes all the difference. Breaking that red light just cuz v.s. It saves my knees for groceries to get groceries into my 60's and save some gas!
the reason you don't want to alert them is so that they don't change their trajectory. pedestrians are like moving trees, you avoid them, you don't try to communicate with them.
“Because unlike his peers the cyclist is a risk taker, a visionary, an achiever, and knows he must do whatever it takes to finish middle of the pack at the annual charity 60 miler”
Couple of weeks ago I saw a cyclist crash into some lady and she basically took a nosedive on the pavement. As she was trying to wipe the blood from her face, the dude complained how she ruined his 200 euro front wheel lmao
Some of us commuters will go for middle ground between practicality and performance. Lycra might not be everyone's cup of tea but form-fitting "normal" clothes with cycling shorts underneath work almost as well. That, along with a hard-shell aero backpack, and an alloy super bike can make for a pretty speedy commuter setup. Going fast and beating records make A-to-B trips a lot more enjoyable.
@@Semystic and cyclists commute in their cars after work, meet up with other douchers, and then go out and play in traffic together in rush hour, further ruining the roads in places they do not belong. Asshats. Playing in the street....
My bike is my only transportation as a mom of 2 because life's unexpectancies everyday. And I don't really know any of these memes but because I ride my bike for a very long time I know exactly what he's talking about lol.
As a Dutch person I can say this is accurate. My family calls "cyclists" "MAMILs": Middle Aged Man In Lycra. All Dutch people are also commuters though, without the fear.
Now that's definitely a good point to not have kids: "pregnant women aren't aero" Edit: except pregnant women really are more aero(also how the f is this possible 1k likes? The f?)
Yes dude. I am 172 cm I can’t do that. Because if I want to do that i have to ride extra small bike which has very small triangles for water bottles and possible frame bag and also massive toe overlap. I have to settle at small size. Man i wish i was taller.
Ну хз, по крайней мере на эндурансе мне не приходится так поднимать седло, потому что я и сам маленький (170) и в нашей местности (Великий Новгород) соревы проходят разве что по циклокроссу; на последних, кстати, пока единственных, взял 2е место (вяло марафон)
Yeah thats the normal stereotype here in asia. Thats why i bought a higher travel suspension and knobby tyres to identify myself as a mountain biker. I even bombarded my laptop with stickers hoping for someone to notice me and ask me for a ride out. But majority of us is road cyclist so yeah fuck me
I bought a mountain bike because the roads in my city are fucking rocky. Mountain bikes are also future proof. If one day someone invited you to ride on a trail then you can go. Road bike = only for flat roads MTB = can go anywhere.
As someone who rides their bike regularly for casual rides, transport and the variant called Mountain Biking, I can relate to a lot of this, especially the speed
All jokes aside, cycling is what -made- helped me come to terms with my own mortality. Whatever happens, happens, man. I've been cycling for around 17 years and I ain't stopping as long as I have at least one leg. My neighbour, who only has one leg is a commuter.
@@marcoleung368 I’m pretty sure a hand cycle is called a wheelchair lmao, all jokes aside I knew a kid in highschool who did track and had a racing wheelchair which was pretty cool.
Watching this as a Dutchman is really strange. We literally have bikes with designs from the 1930's and we get drunk on those while riding them 1 hour to our work or school in a different province and back, while trying to kick eachother off, spitting on eachother or riding without hands on the steer.
@Toographictosayontelevision I like it, its an added challenge and there's just something so exhilarating about rushing down a rocky trail with trees rushing past you on the lead up to a jump. plus some of the locations we bike in are downright amazing and beautiful
I didn't understand this one. Is it because people want to be supportive of people trying to lose weight? Whereas if a skinny person did it, people wouldn't care?
Holy shit as someone who has a bicycle, this shit is true. You respect cars, and then some cyclist who doesnt care about dying, just races past cars, skips past them, and doesn't care if he cuts off any cars. Way too true! Great video

Actually, have seen a video, where a girl told a story, that some guy, in helmet and other bicycle stuff asked her to let him just weight in hands her bike, and gave his bicycle bottle to her.

Nah, cycling is a great sport and its really hard, but its also really rewarding. I go out almost everyday on a ride for about 20-25 miles, if you dont ride like an asshole and abide by traffic laws theres nothin wrong with it
lol, i live in Atlanta, and you can't even commute like that, the same reason we have so many scooter fatalities. Its a nice reminder that scooters and bikes aren't dangerous, cars are.
I'm a "commuter," but since I live in car dependent suburbia where everything is built out and paved over with massive stroads I probably sometimes act like a "cyclist." I often try to go fast as I can (especially when cars are behind me waiting to pass because I have to share the two lane road and cars are coming from the opposite direction). Unless the wind is slowing me way down, it feels great when I'm cruising, but like I said I'm a commuter and I sometimes use it instead of a car because I don't want to pay $3-4 a gallon just to please all those carbrains who think I'm the entitled one for existing lol
@@josharden6793 *TL;DR Two wrongs don't make a right, try to give cyclists a better public image, and yes US road infrastructure is bad (also my comment starts off aggressive, dw I'm not biased for or against cyclists / drivers)* We just wish cyclists weren't turning into the very thing they swore to destroy in the first place; entitled brats who think they own the road / dictate exactly how it should be designed / think that anyone in the opposing vehicle has no personality other than being the user of that vehicle. Car driver: "These damn cyclists, why don't they stay in the cycle lanes! Then they wouldn't get in our way! Don't they ever try to be considerate?" *overtakes dangerously around a blind corner* Bicycle rider 1(me): "Damn, aren't car drivers so horrible sometimes? Maybe we should try to show respect while out on the roads, to hopefully end any rivalry between road users" Bicycle rider 2:"Yeah, exactly! So anyway what was I saying, oh - yeah, this carbrained npc almost hit me when I was running a stop sign the other day, I would've beaten my strava time if I didn't have to hit the brakes, so inconsiderate!" *runs a red light* A few things before you send me the usual hate mail; I agree america is predominantly too car focused, that's primarily due to zoning laws, I personally think converting to a country like the Netherlands is slightly overkill, I believe a happy medium, especially given that america is so car focused that this would still be a big change for most people; changing to UK infrastructure In the UK there are a lot of cycle lanes, mostly reasonable cycle laws, the main things I think america is doing wrong when converting to be more cycle friendly is that in typical american fashion they overdo it; They completely redesign one intersection to be the most cycle friendly thing the world has ever seen, then run out of money and leave the rest as is, as opposed to putting a simple raised cycle lane, maybe separated from the footpath by some plastic bollards, throughout the entire area, with either button or electromagnetic induction loop activated crossing lights, with maybe a small rumble strip 30 feet in either direction from the lights, instead of nothing on 99% to tell drivers about the crossing, then on the one they've completely overdone like 6 huge speed bumps that destroy anything other than a 4000lb SUV with a hood so high you can't even see what's in front of you (I don't have evidence but I'm fairly sure people that live near speed bumps prefer SUVs as they make speeding over them more comfortable). Every time I try to speak sense to either someone who you might call "car brained" or "cycle brained" it always ends in them hurling insults, and me just leaving the conversation, so please try to be objective. I find the best thing to do is to remember that when you're out and about, or conversing online, you represent your entire community, people that didn't know you existed will have what you do or write as their first impression, so always try to do your best. Also if you're going to do stupid stuff (pushing the limits of speed on a bicycle or a car) take it to a track, even if you're the only one killed (which on a bike is more likely) you will ruin the life of the person you hit, whereas a track is safer, and you're also surrounded by a community of like minded people which is a bonus. I used to race competitively on my bike, used to be alright, until I was hit intentionally by another cyclist, and I decided to pack it in, but I accepted that it was part of the risks. Fast forward 6 years later and I'm cycling on a relaxed family trail with my extended family, and some idiot on a bicycle just cuts through everyone and tries to overtake me on the wrong side (it was also the side I was on), hits me at maybe 30kmh, I twist my knee in the frame, land on my elbow, get a piece of gravel lodged into my arm *(I still have the scar)* then he blames me somehow, I was only 15, so I was in shock, so my dad comes over and yells at the guy, he cycles off before even checking if I was okay, making it a hit and run. So *please* don't cycle dangerously / push your limits near other people, *you put the whole community to shame* Also while in control of a vehicle(including riding a bike) I've been in 3 collisions, all 3 were caused by a cyclist 1- hit off my bike when I was 9 (but on a track so I would've let that slide if it wasn't intentional), 2- rear ended at speed when I was 15 in a hit and run (on my bike), 3 - parked in my car at 17 years old, cyclist stumbles while lane filtering and clips my mirror and cycles off before anyone could check for damage (it was easily compound + polished out). If you count collisions where I was the passenger; 1- rear ended by a mother checking her baby and not looking at the road. 2- Locking up on pine needles and hitting a tow bar of a stopped car just hard enough to crack our plastic grille. All I'm saying is that if I was most other people I'd absolutely hate cyclists, as all of my collisions have been with a cyclist (who was at fault). 99% of people, if they were in my situation, would despise cyclists, and would campaign against anything that helps cyclists (even if it helps them too), like cycle lanes etc, luckily enough I cycled a lot during childhood especially, so I don't think of the whole community the same as I do the people who hurt me.
@@Kaiser-ks3yq I appreciate your balanced and (mostly) unbiased take. I would like to point out the fact that when a cyclist does something wrong it makes the whole community look bad, whereas a driver does something wrong (much more dangerous due to the multiple ton vehicle than can much more easily kill or maim someone) and it's seen as inevitable, or at least not something due to any kind of bad policy. Basically, there's a double standard against bikers. You may already be aware of this but I just wanted to point it out. Likewise, I don't think of all drivers the same way, just the car brained ones who think public transit is for suckers and biking is "weak" or "unamerican" or something. Also I'm sure we both know (especially since it's the whole point of the video) there's a difference between cyclists (athletes) and commuters by bike. The double standard I mentioned blurs the lines though, like comparing regular car commuters to racecar drivers as if they are the same people.
What's really criminal is that there's no followup video about mountain bikers and all their annoying shit - like the need for 170mm travel fork and a full suspension carbon frame with dropper post to finally tackle curbs and potholes in downtown Paris.

"Dressed in Lycra, racing through traffic, ignoring all traffic rules with little regard for their own life or anyone else." a.k.a. The Cyclist "Wearing helmet, rain jacket, reflecting jacket, semi-aero backpack, knee pads, little bag on their handle bars." a.k.a. The Commuter "Wearing casual clothes, no safety gear, carrying a weeks worth of groceries and 2 children while riding with no hands." a.k.a. The Dutch
honestly if you ride with both hands or even one then you're old. Yeah, I go 35km/h downhill next to a road with cars going 60 kmh towards me while im not wearing a helmet but honestly, who doesn't want to live? I still remember the day I went downhill 78 km. No helmet, three times the speed a bike helmet is designed to handle, looking at my phone, the snapchat filter that measures speed and riding with either one or no hands. Thats life. Thats freedom., Thats youth. I didn't die, I had fun, I lived life. Maybe one day a car will hit me as I carry my 3 bags of groceries or check my phone while I run a red light but honestly until that happens I will have lived a life of freedom and adventure. Every day I try to take one corner on my commute faster than before. Ive gotten it down to 29.5km/h and Im starting to hit the point where my pedal is almost starting to touch the ground due to the lean I have to have to not fall over. Every time I try to get a little faster I wonder: is this actually possible or will this be too fast? Will I slip and either have to roll off or do the catch of my life and ride on? Honestly I don't care, I just know im gonna get to 30km/h. Disregarding safety is not just dumb, its a way of life and youth like excessive alcohol consumption, not strating to learn for finals until the day before our arguing with the bouncer. Im not 19 to behave like im 40, im 19 to behave like im retarded. Live life.
Somewhere between commuter and Dutch - stonking great backpack, cargo basket on the back and towing a bike trailer, but at least wear the legislated helmet, a load of lights (and still have halfwits claim they didn't see the blinding lights after they nearly run me over in the bike lane). 2 weeks of groceries instead of 1 though.

That, along with a hard-shell aero backpack, and an alloy super bike can make for a pretty speedy commuter setup. Going fast and beating records make A-to-B trips a lot more enjoyable.

I'm a "commuter," but since I live in car dependent suburbia where everything is built out and paved over with massive stroads I probably sometimes act like a "cyclist." I often try to go fast as I can (especially when cars are behind me waiting to pass because I have to share the two lane road and cars are coming from the opposite direction). Unless the wind is slowing me way down, it feels great when I'm cruising, but like I said I'm a commuter and I sometimes use it instead of a car because I don't want to pay $3-4 a gallon just to please all those carbrains who think I'm the entitled one for existing lol

A few things before you send me the usual hate mail; I agree america is predominantly too car focused, that's primarily due to zoning laws, I personally think converting to a country like the Netherlands is slightly overkill, I believe a happy medium, especially given that america is so car focused that this would still be a big change for most people; changing to UK infrastructure
In the UK there are a lot of cycle lanes, mostly reasonable cycle laws, the main things I think america is doing wrong when converting to be more cycle friendly is that in typical american fashion they overdo it;
They completely redesign one intersection to be the most cycle friendly thing the world has ever seen, then run out of money and leave the rest as is, as opposed to putting a simple raised cycle lane, maybe separated from the footpath by some plastic bollards, throughout the entire area, with either button or electromagnetic induction loop activated crossing lights, with maybe a small rumble strip 30 feet in either direction from the lights, instead of nothing on 99% to tell drivers about the crossing, then on the one they've completely overdone like 6 huge speed bumps that destroy anything other than a 4000lb SUV with a hood so high you can't even see what's in front of you (I don't have evidence but I'm fairly sure people that live near speed bumps prefer SUVs as they make speeding over them more comfortable).
Every time I try to speak sense to either someone who you might call "car brained" or "cycle brained" it always ends in them hurling insults, and me just leaving the conversation, so please try to be objective.
I find the best thing to do is to remember that when you're out and about, or conversing online, you represent your entire community, people that didn't know you existed will have what you do or write as their first impression, so always try to do your best.
Also if you're going to do stupid stuff (pushing the limits of speed on a bicycle or a car) take it to a track, even if you're the only one killed (which on a bike is more likely) you will ruin the life of the person you hit, whereas a track is safer, and you're also surrounded by a community of like minded people which is a bonus.
I used to race competitively on my bike, used to be alright, until I was hit intentionally by another cyclist, and I decided to pack it in, but I accepted that it was part of the risks.
Fast forward 6 years later and I'm cycling on a relaxed family trail with my extended family, and some idiot on a bicycle just cuts through everyone and tries to overtake me on the wrong side (it was also the side I was on), hits me at maybe 30kmh, I twist my knee in the frame, land on my elbow, get a piece of gravel lodged into my arm *(I still have the scar)* then he blames me somehow, I was only 15, so I was in shock, so my dad comes over and yells at the guy, he cycles off before even checking if I was okay, making it a hit and run.
So *please* don't cycle dangerously / push your limits near other people, *you put the whole community to shame*
Also while in control of a vehicle(including riding a bike) I've been in 3 collisions, all 3 were caused by a cyclist 1- hit off my bike when I was 9 (but on a track so I would've let that slide if it wasn't intentional), 2- rear ended at speed when I was 15 in a hit and run (on my bike), 3 - parked in my car at 17 years old, cyclist stumbles while lane filtering and clips my mirror and cycles off before anyone could check for damage (it was easily compound + polished out).
If you count collisions where I was the passenger; 1- rear ended by a mother checking her baby and not looking at the road. 2- Locking up on pine needles and hitting a tow bar of a stopped car just hard enough to crack our plastic grille.
All I'm saying is that if I was most other people I'd absolutely hate cyclists, as all of my collisions have been with a cyclist (who was at fault). 99% of people, if they were in my situation, would despise cyclists, and would campaign against anything that helps cyclists (even if it helps them too), like cycle lanes etc, luckily enough I cycled a lot during childhood especially, so I don't think of the whole community the same as I do the people who hurt me.
@@Kaiser-ks3yq I appreciate your balanced and (mostly) unbiased take. I would like to point out the fact that when a cyclist does something wrong it makes the whole community look bad, whereas a driver does something wrong (much more dangerous due to the multiple ton vehicle than can much more easily kill or maim someone) and it's seen as inevitable, or at least not something due to any kind of bad policy. Basically, there's a double standard against bikers. You may already be aware of this but I just wanted to point it out. Likewise, I don't think of all drivers the same way, just the car brained ones who think public transit is for suckers and biking is "weak" or "unamerican" or something.
Also I'm sure we both know (especially since it's the whole point of the video) there's a difference between cyclists (athletes) and commuters by bike. The double standard I mentioned blurs the lines though, like comparing regular car commuters to racecar drivers as if they are the same people.
Cyclist: hunched back
Commuter: straight back
Flat bars are good for comfort, but for aero, going lower is good
Want aero? Ride recumbent.

That Dura-Ace DI2 wireless pedal joke is criminally underrated
What's really criminal is that there's no followup video about mountain bikers and all their annoying shit - like the need for 170mm travel fork and a full suspension carbon frame with dropper post to finally tackle curbs and potholes in downtown Paris.
@@mikek9297 don't forget the dropper post!

Middle of the pack at the end of a 60 miler is basically first place.
"Dressed in Lycra, racing through traffic, ignoring all traffic rules with little regard for their own life or anyone else." a.k.a. The Cyclist
"Wearing helmet, rain jacket, reflecting jacket, semi-aero backpack, knee pads, little bag on their handle bars." a.k.a. The Commuter
"Wearing casual clothes, no safety gear, carrying a weeks worth of groceries and 2 children while riding with no hands." a.k.a. The Dutch
Me the Dutchman.
honestly if you ride with both hands or even one then you're old. Yeah, I go 35km/h downhill next to a road with cars going 60 kmh towards me while im not wearing a helmet but honestly, who doesn't want to live?
I still remember the day I went downhill 78 km. No helmet, three times the speed a bike helmet is designed to handle, looking at my phone, the snapchat filter that measures speed and riding with either one or no hands.
Thats life. Thats freedom., Thats youth.
I didn't die, I had fun, I lived life.
Maybe one day a car will hit me as I carry my 3 bags of groceries or check my phone while I run a red light but honestly until that happens I will have lived a life of freedom and adventure.
Every day I try to take one corner on my commute faster than before. Ive gotten it down to 29.5km/h and Im starting to hit the point where my pedal is almost starting to touch the ground due to the lean I have to have to not fall over. Every time I try to get a little faster I wonder: is this actually possible or will this be too fast? Will I slip and either have to roll off or do the catch of my life and ride on? Honestly I don't care, I just know im gonna get to 30km/h.
Disregarding safety is not just dumb, its a way of life and youth like excessive alcohol consumption, not strating to learn for finals until the day before our arguing with the bouncer. Im not 19 to behave like im 40, im 19 to behave like im retarded. Live life.
@@leonhardfrommhold8463 that's way too edgy of a life for me. Gg
Seen a Dutch on the way home from school. Was a truly y horrific scene
Somewhere between commuter and Dutch - stonking great backpack, cargo basket on the back and towing a bike trailer, but at least wear the legislated helmet, a load of lights (and still have halfwits claim they didn't see the blinding lights after they nearly run me over in the bike lane). 2 weeks of groceries instead of 1 though. Saves car running costs though
this video makes me feel like im high at a party and got stuck in a conversation with a casual biker who is spilling all of his grievances of cyclists onto me
As a guy in his 40’s who just picked up cycling, this hits hard. 😂

Told my little brother I was going to get him tacky LEDs for his bike wheels for Christmas, he unironically told me not to get them because they wouldn't be aerodynamic and the weight would make it harder for him to do wheelies
I have those LEDs, (because I’m a commuter.)
@@gimmespamnow My parents bought me bike lights so of course I have to put them on my commuter bike, but man they are the ultimate pandering-to-carbrain product.
@@Cobalt985 I like being able to see debris in my way at night. I love trails at night too. Lights just make sense if you're not riding only during the day and on extremely well lit streets (which a lot of neighborhood streets are not)
