"If I take a set of abandonded traintracks, I'll save about a mile on my trip."
"DO NOT TAKE THE TRAINTRACKS!"
Ben Guidry I laughed my ass off at that part!
Up until the city of Orange ordered the homeless to vacate the Santa Ana river/bike trail, that whole area had been skid row. Now that it's been cleared of the homeless, it saves me about a half an hour on my morning commute by cycling to work (I kind of want to get an electric, but I suppose it's keeping me in shape without).
So good
"do as I say not as I do"
"If I take a set of abandonded traintracks, I'll save about a mile on my trip."
*Nek Minute*
"DO NOT TAKE THE TRAINTRACKS!"
As someone who lives in the Netherlands where we get born with a bike attached to our little bottoms, I totally get your comments on the zen feeling although I feel it’s way easier here to get in the zone because in the Netherlands the traffic is basically designed around bicycle travel. So you don’t feel scared when biking around. (Also the Netherlands is a lot tinier then well anything in the USA)
That is the the thing that attracts me more from Amsterdam (l have never been there), that is a bycicle friendly city. Fortunately my City Sydney is gradually getting friendly with cyclists
You might say West-europe & North Europe is bike-friendly. & Zen? Neen. Ik denk dat het gewoon is ons DNA zit
@@tyson00001 dat zit het waarschijnlijk ook
Gekoloniseerd?!
I think the main issue with US cities is that they are huge. Everything is far way. Most European cities have everything you need pretty close in comparison. I´m from Lisbon and in my hometown (on the south side of the river) I have everything at walking distance. Other things I can ride a bike and enjoy it.
I remember going to Las Vegas and everything was far AF. During the trip we visited SEMA show, usually we would use a car to get there and seemed pretty close. One day me and a friend decided we would go sooner and walking, to enjoy the city. Took us one hour to get there. It's like the city extended and made the show further then the day before. lol
" people drive crazy and there are so thin sidewalks"
India: You guys have sidewalks??
In North India? No
But in South India, yes. We do have sidewalks
They have sidewalks. . .covered in traffic, cows, peddlers. 😆

Indian(including me): hold my chai
Ikr. And the sidewalks we have are filled with cows, vendors etc.
lol
I have been bike commuting in LA since I moved here over year ago. I currently ride from Highland Park to Hollywood 4-5 days a week (30 miles/day, non-electric assist road bike), and I am definitely one of a very small (but present) number of cycle commuters in the city. I think it takes a certain kind of dedication/crazy to ride constantly out here, but once you know the roads, side streets, and bike paths you can get almost anywhere. It is unquestionably a lifestyle - it governs what I wear, what I eat, and what I deem necessary to bring to work every day. It encourages a minimalist approach to what I bring to work, and I think it ultimately leads to healthier life decisions and a better quality of life. I love biking in LA!
[bike has a rack-] "Man, this backpack is heavy!" [doesn't use rack]
Ya, one of the biggest complaints I hear about using a bike is lack of storage space. Of course this comes from people who don't use Panniers and their eyes glaze over when you mention a bike trailer.
@@Shindinru Trailers sap energy from motor vehicles. Probably cut the daily range in half for a cyclist.
@@jasonlisonbee Bicycles already have garbage aerodynamics, and a
I mean, if you have racks, and are creative with bungee cords, you would be amazed at what you can transport on a bike.
Get you a Burley Travoy trailer. Capable of hauling 60lbs of cargo. I’ve used it over 7 yrs and it’s like the weight is not even there. It’s expensive, but it’s tough as nails. I’ve used it in rain, sleet, and snow, and the thing still hasn’t broken.
"The most.. non-pedestrian friendly city in the history of the planet." Laughs in South East Asian.
Hi from Bangkok ;)
So true...
Xin chào from Hanoi
Laughs in florida
*Laughs from Florida as well*
I've used electric bikes to cover most daily transportation needs for the last 18 months, including neighborhood grocery shopping, carrying parcels to UPS, moving a wine rack, and 20+ miles cross town trips.
It's actually fun and keeps me exercising.
ive been e-biking in LA full time for a year and i dont have car. its amazing! empty sidewalks and suburban streets are the way to go. idk where this guy is...and you need a basket for cargo, not a backpack
Niko: "Sam is going to put all his creativity and artistry in it"
*moments later"
Sam: "I am gonna wing it"
I shed a dutch tear seeing this Jake :')
Angry DutchMan
We have to implement those 700cm wheels though!
Imagine cycling along and just looking into the 3rd floor of an office!
@@florenshoff421 isnt 700c wheels standard for road bikes ?
girlsdrinkfeck
700cm is 7meters, like 7 yards and 2 feet diameter
700mm is about standard
Depends here in the netherlands at least where men and women generally differ 15/20 cm in height
@@florenshoff421 I said 700c not cm
Cant compete to my russian tears :,) (u kno its pretty rare)
Jake you shouldn't carry a heavy load in a backpack when biking. Every time you move your body you'll lift the weight. Get a set of pannier bags and let the bike frame take the load.
Miner 2049er Start by getting that full size rear rack installed. A backpack like that can be put there no problem and the set of side bags added for heavy load days.
As a dad of a small kid, also get the child seat and footrests for carrying an under 6yo passenger.
Of cause there are also bikes with serious load compartments that can comfortably hold two kids getting dropped off at school or a complete desktop computer in it's box.
Theres various things he could use like a Burley Travoy foldable pull behind trailer (which I use and can vouch for), a Dumb Stick to attach a trailer to or any number of dog or child trailers he could attach to the rear rack. He could also just use panniers. He could also attach a milk crate to the top of the rear rack.
LA looks like something went seriously wrong when they developed it.
Considering its LA something probably did
LA was a bunch of little towns/cities that just grew into each other. There was no top-level city planning to the place before the interstates came in.
are we all just gonna ignore wren pulled up in a model 3
Ethan Wilson it’s my dream car!
He's acknowledged that he was getting a Tesla already. May have been on his Insta though
SirWrender Nice ride! How do you like it so far? I think they're awesome, but judging by the fact I'm a senior in HS I don't think I'll be near one in the future lol. Enjoy the car bud 👍
Ethan Wilson i will ignore it because you brought it up, yeah im a rebel
Please do a video about it! :)
Used to cycle 16 miles round trip to work, 7 days a week (care worker, yep, no time off) on a regular push bike. Even in the deepest snow and foulest weather when colleagues claimed they couldn't make it to work by car. Still cycle, never driven.
Although as I'm getting older and my knee joints are wearing out, I may consider an e-bike by the time I hit 50.
Many older people (or anyone with knee issues) say they get an e-bike and it seems they’re universally glad they did.
A few suggestions to make your biking experience more enjoyable:
- Wear a helmet
- Wear a highly visible reflector vest
- Always bike with the flow of traffic
- Be as courteous to the automobiles as possible
- When you carry stuff, don't lug it on your back. Use the rear rack
- If you need to carry even more stuff, use a trailer
- Get front and back lights
And finally...
Please be safe!
bike bags, backpack and front carry gives you about... what? 60-80 liters of carrying capacity (that's about 2 cubic feet)
do _not_ buy a trailer.
@@qwertyman1511 Have you had problems with a trailer in the past? If you have a utility e-bike it has thicker wheels and a lower build so it should work well
I'm talking about day-to-day use. If you want to go on biking trips then obviously you're not using a trailer.
A support van might be a good idea too.
@@DanielSong39 a trailer is considered SERIOUS overkill for daily use.
In the netherlands, you only really see them used for transporting kids.
now, corridor might use heavy, bulky camera equipment, then it might make sense.
but if you have 2 bike bags, you could fit 2 huge cases in there already, so i personally have never needed more than that capacity.
@@qwertyman1511 OK, I was thinking more in line with grocery shopping
Jake - be honest - did you add the Traffic Horn noise in (in edit) on parts of the vid or do Californians really just drive along honking their horns for no other reason than just because they can? LoL.
5:00, for sure editing. Also at 5:15, are we supposed to believe that wimpy little horn is that semi?
Jonny aww that's lame at 5:00 it's just blatant. Unless there are 53 cars behind him
I'm not the only one who noticed 😂
Daniel Kintigh - yeah - I hope I didn't leave that impression. I'm sure he didnt do it as intent to mislead anyone. Given the whole context of the video, it would be pointless to fake anyone out for deception's sake. The sounds were purely for ambiance if they were injected. I was just giving Jake a hard time is all (messin round wit em) - LOL.
I live there, and no one honks ...Or uses blinkers ...Or looks
Commuting by bike isn't something you can only do for a week and say wether or not it's for you, I say at minimum you must do a month.
It's also a lifestyle, I just started commuting by bike this year and when I eventually move my commute will be in mind.
Why they edited fake car beeping sounds. Like a lot.
The new channel art is DOPE. Nicely done Sam & le Crew!
This makes me appreciate Denmark and our Bike friendly traffic system.. Newest thing: bikes does not have to stop at certain red lights (the ones people cross anyway)
The things I complain about, is so little compared to LA problems :)
The greatest thing about the name change is the Corridor Digital logo also works for Corridor Crew. It's great
Buzzfeed called... They want their title back.
Love the channel tho :)
came here looking for this comment
4:52
Indian(including me): hold my chai
Yes Jake, good job! better for your fitness and for the world.
One tip: Keep your knees above your pedals, don't move them out as far as you do. Thank me later. Oh, and wear a helmet :)
i think that he was somewhat splaying out because the saddle was about 10cm too low. not saying he needed super high speed saddle height, just that having it higher would be easier and more efficient and it would be kinder on his knees.
Duude the soundtrack in this video is amazing!!
Daan Schouten they always do very well on their sound design
I watched this because I have recently started commuting to work on my non-electric bike and am considering getting one or converting an existing bike. However, as a S. California expate to the Pacific Northwest 23 years ago, I couldn’t get past the thought, “Man, I’m SO glad I don’t live there anymore!” That looked like a living nightmare - whether in a car or on a bike. I wish I could post a comparative video of what riding along a river looks like here, compared to the concrete “rivers” there. Also, I was surprised by the decision to not wear a helmet or any other protective gear.
Just another ｃｒｅｗｔｏｎ reporting for duty.
Commuting with a bike/car combo is the way to go. Ride when you don’t need to run some errand far away from work and drive when you need to do those errands or if you need to carry something heavy. Benefits of both!
Keep up the work guys love what you’re doing
as someone with severe driving anxiety who hasn't gotten their drivers license yet, it's nice to know that it's almost feasible to get places without one, especially since one of the biggest challenges was just how spread out LA is, since I don't live there
you can use uber when you realy need a car
@@milesdunstan-daams4855 - And if you only Uber a couple times a month it’s still way cheaper than owning and operating a car.
Best Thing I ever did was install a throttle on my electric bike. It basically became a scooter, doing up to 30ish mph
This videos music is on point! Love the intro editing!
Gotta say I'm loving this rebranding, But most specifically, I LOVED the editing of this video.
Could you guys do a new workflow video? Wonder what it is like since the crew has grown so much. And also... why choose 3ds Max over Maya? And should I?
Love the content, keep up the work!! :)
“LA is the most non-pedestrian friendly city on the planet”..
*Laughs in Manila*
Kaya nga
Even the roads sucks since most have holes and is practically unfinished
*laughs in Filipino*
When you guys said “when we reach 1 million” I was honestly surprised y’all haven’t reached that yet. I literally had to check to see how many you guys had.
Wonderful soundtrack! The new banner is amazing, love the poses :)
The reason they changed the name now is so they get a gold play button with the Corridor Crew name on it
Sharing their success with the friends that helped them achieve it. I think that's been a great idea!
Also: Corporate Identity
Damn nearly 1 million subs
That new Intro! NICE! It just made me love the new colors I didn’t really like that much until this video.
Great job on the video! Really quality work.
Next time Jake get a lid, your a dad now, safety first. #lidssavelives
Wow, that's crazy how different the west is.
Here in EU I can literally live with just an electric foldable scooter because cities are designed for bikes and walking instead of cars (there are roads but the major ones are mostly built around the cities not inside the cities) and there is a superdense train / network I can freely ride with my regional ticket. Bikes and scooters are also very popular and able to avoid traffic jams.
This was some fantastic content. Great video, guys!
Love the new channel look! Awesome. I didn't own a car for my first two years in LA, however I did use the metro a lot. Definitely not optimal when you need to bring gear around ,haha.
in the US people make documentaries about it
in The Netherlands its normal (both electric and non electric)
as a Dutchman that really feels so weird
U guys really need to work on making bicycle lanes and stuff
step it up america!
Pepijn Arts, except this isn’t the Netherlands, our country is 3000 miles across, in most places it would be a waste of paint to make a bike lane, US law requires bikes to follow the same traffic laws of the cars, and there is plenty of space, so no we do not “step it up”.
Thanks anyway!
Most cities in North America are very spread out due to urban sprawl and this is what explains the lack of cycling infrastructure. If the cities were fairly compact like they are in the Netherlands, I think it's safe to say that you would see considerably more infrastructure being dedicated to walking and cycling.
Some cities in Canada are pursuing a policy of 'densification'; that is, 'growing up' instead of out to reduce or eliminate urban sprawl and preserve arable land as well as natural areas. Densification policies usually include improved cycling facilities.
Charlie Foxtrot With very little traffic, riding and walking without bike lanes and sidewalks should be fine if following European style traffic laws. This limits the investment to bigger roads and school roads. Sometimes narrow alleyways can be redefined as bicycle / pedestrian shortcuts with just a signpost or two. Really wide sidewalks are mostly done in front of shop windows where the stores want people to linger and make impulse buys. Wide bicycle lanes are mostly on really busy bicycle routes where that capacity is actually needed, they're as rare as 6 lane freeways.
I think perhaps you may well have found other ways to get to your destination if you had checked out some of the bicycle paths on google maps, I know I was surprised how many cycle paths there are in London now compared to 10 years ago.
I just wonder if you checked out any advice about routs you could have taken from the cycle shop as they would probably have had many cycle paths on a map.
Also it would have made more sense to go out on weekends first just for a pleasure ride to get used to exploring the area on a bike, it's a whole other world on a bike or escooter compared to driving there are often cut throughs, paths and so on that keep you off the main road and in the back streets.
But if you did check all that out and found nothing then perhaps the city is doomed to be covered in pollution for a long time to come.
I love everything about the new channel branding. Nice job on it
I love the new intro with the logo and then the Corridor Crew flash. Love it noice job guys.
The title sounds like one of those videos where someone doesn't do something for a week and passes it off like it was "self dicipline" or a "learning experience".
Not to mention it's extremely vague. Hell, these guys decided to call it the Corridor Crew not too long ago. How am I supposed to know who ''I'' is when merely looking at the title? If it was a personal vlog channel I could understand, but this channel is run by multiple people.
Why did you make this a reply to my comment?
Because it's relevant to your comment, clearly? What, I'm not allowed to chime in or add anything?
wah wah just shut up and enjoy the content
9:05 JAKE BREAKFAST BURRITO SIGHTED!!!
I am a bike enthusiast and a harsh car critique in general. But America is a different deal. In Germany, there are far too many cars inside cities and using a bike or public transport is often the better option.
Really interesting video and nice editing as always Corridor Crew
Love the re branding! New banner looks great as well!
OneWheel for life! 😁
i got so sick of hunting parking spots that i changed to e-bike. healthy for me and healthy for the earth
Wuuuh, thanks wren! I'm part of the ship, part of the crew!
ive been watching node/corridor for years now....they are the best!
I'm German and I totally don't understand why LA is so bicycle unfriendly, because in Germany there are Cities designed to be able to deal with many cyclists. So there are extra lanes for them so the cars won't honk.
Alex Cassel Warte von Amerikanern, umweltbewusst zu werden lol
Pressure from the car industry and the American Dream I guess.
Yeah It's bad in the UK too mostly compared with mainland Europe. That's one of the reasons I haven't created an electric bike, as well as legal restrictions on speed and power
You are so lucky. I used to live in Karlsruhe and used my bike even in the winter. It was great, I could get anywhere without much planning. Now I live in Budapest and using a bike is more difficult. There is very little infrastructure for bikes, but since many people started riding it works. Car drivers are reasonably polite.
Have you been in Houston? It's way worst than L.A. for bikes
WREN WITH THE MODEL 3 👀👀👀👀👀
Watching this video in 2020 and they have 3.87 million that’s awesome to see I love this channel so much
That was a cool video guys great job!
non-pedestrian friendly city, you haven't been to South East Asia, Cebu!
You guys make such a big deal of it haha, in Holland we've been doing this for years already.
Rick Maassen precies die
Haha my thoughts exactly.
Good looking out, Jake. This was one hell of a kick ass undertaking. I admit, I'd be too terrified to try it in LA. I live in Anaheim and it can pretty nasty.
This is amazing. I just started using my electric bike in Georgia and you realize those small things on your ride. The things I don't like is the stray dogs chasing me, people flying out in front of you at businesses or crosswalks. Otherwise I really love it.
That crew photo 🙌🏻👍🏻🔥
When it takes you an hour and a half to get to school in a car....
I was literally typing "when can we expect the new merch" and Jake starts saying "ITS GOING TO BE WORTH THE WAIT"
Every time I see one of those static shots where you guys bike or walk or one wheel down a path away from a camera, I can't help but picture you guys running back for it
Wren has a model 3??!!!!
6:36 seems there is a bike rack on back.....to complicated to figure out how to tie backpack to it...of course if your really replacing car you would probably want a cargo bike....NAH
For Berlin, I drive both. I save so much in injurance costs, parking and fuel, but most important I get predictable times, when I will arrive.
Interesting video and comments on electric bike commuting in LA. We're obviously fans of electric bikes. They can definitely make riding bikes even more fun, and, if commuting by bike, can make for an easier and less sweaty ride. There are many different styles available - commuters, cruisers, fat tire, foldable, etc. Do some research and find out which is best for you!
Wear a helmet, mate!
Bear in mind he said the place he's cycling is really non-pedestrian-friendly where cars just zing past all the time. Bearing this in mind, he really should get a helmet, haha
bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2018/04/25/more-cycling-fatalities-than-deaths-in-cars/
Only time I've had issues on my bike is during the slow/easy rides. You're not as focused and it can still go pretty bad at 10-15 mph.
Lasse Aagesen It’s pretty obvious cause we have way more people on bikes then in cars
Always wear a snell and dot approved helmet not just a shitt cycling helmet get a motorcycle helmet for these things
Bike music is sick!
Henry Blyth it sounds so much similar to another song ik but I can't remember that song name and it's pissing me off ughh
if you figure it out, let us know
ua-cam.com/video/dOn4c_nq41w/v-deo.html
The moving banner endcard is awesome! Great rebrand!
Maybe this is a sign that your city needs to put in some trails for riding and walking to commute
wait... 700 cm wheels? you do realise that's 275.6 inches, right?
7 meter wheels, 😂😂
He probably means 700c wheels which are standard road bike size wheels
john lobo yeah, 700C is a standard road wheel set. 700C means 700 millimeters which is around 29 inches
Block hax 27½" actually.
It's a meat-up.
Rise the drake What's a drake and kobold? I keep seeing them anywhere, but they just seem like anthro lizards. What's the difference?
Chris D Drakes are either four legged western dragons (ege. Ferals) or any male dragons. Depends on the context.
Rise the drake Oh wow, that's a lot simpler than I was expecting.
Chris D Filthy, disgusting creaturea that should be purged.
Trading your car for an electric bike is certainly not for most people, but for me it has been freedom.
I have been riding by e-bike instead of a car for over a month. I live in a part of the Westside of LA that's very hilly. I'm in my sixties with physical issues that come with age. When traveling on my e-bike with a ton of photo gear in my camera backpack, I have no issues climbing up a mile long 8% grade hill at the end of a 20 mile roundtrip. In addition I found that traveling by e-bike at many times can be far faster than a car at rush hour. It's fun watching at stop and go traffic when your powering on a bike path next to the road. Furthermore, you can put you e-bike on the front of the bus or take it on to the Metro light rail if you need to travel greater distances.
Just because my bike is electric doesn't mean that I don't get exercise. I have lost a lot of weight and people comment a lot that I look healthier. Maybe it's the endorphins, being on my e-bike does wonders for my attitude.
Yes there are cons. Bike theft is very common, probability falling on your own, possibility of getting hit by a car and I won't ride in the rain. Expenses can add up with good gear such as lighting, helmets, gloves and making bike upgrades.
I don't like to hate on any one, perhaps the Corridor Crew rider could of used bike map apps instead of the awkward road choices that were shown. In my opinion this video presentation is a very poor representation of what it can be like to Replace Your Car for an Electric Bike for One Week.
I love electric bikes! I am so happy to see this. We need more awareness about biking. You can use a hybrid method. Like Bike when you have time and you don't have a weight to carry.
In most places not wearing a helmet like that is illegal, mainly because you can die doing that. You might want to be careful.
HeyJD
Is it? I can only think of one country where helmet wearing is compulsory
Jake, please definitely wear a helmet, there are some cool ones too.
What about an electric motorcycle?
Daniel B never talked about environment and/or prices. Seeing him cross the street like that made me think that maybe a motorbike would be safer, with respect to the bike. Electric just comes from his "alternative electric transportation" thing. Plus, a motorcycle would allow him to move easily/fast around the city
It;s good to be part of the CREW!
WRENS GOT THE CUIOSITY BOX! I'll be sending encrypted notes
I dont really know what to say about these titles recently. Its its purposeful and is trying to draw new viewers or its flatout clickbait. The titles arent a big problem and the content is mostly the same which is good to see.
Martineeez76 yah they go back and forth on their clickbaity-ness. At times ive actually unsubscribed because it felt too much like long ads for dumb products, and minimal behind the scenes footage. Ive come back because I enjoy there work, and it can be infuriating, but I will say they have improved and are less annoying abput it.
How is this click bait he said he tried a new bike, which he did. The title described exactly what happened. And also you hey the name change explanation
kcirred htims I think that last part: "... Here's What Happened" gives off that clickbaity vibe. They do explain it in the video, and I can understand why they would title it like that. What, with all the UA-cam bs algorithm and view count determining life and death for a channel. It just doesn't sit well with me. I still love these guys and the content they put out.
Franco G click bait is when you title something unrelated to get more views. Reguardless of whether the title gets more views are not it's not click bait because the video is actually about what it said it's about. They didn't mislead anyone in anyway.
Martineeez76 I do kinda agree that is looks very, purposely made to drive attention, but i wouldn't say flat out clickbait, that's too much,
but i wouldn't necessarily prefer these titles that i call "cliche modern youtube video" rather than their more normal and informative style of titles, my preference, but i can see many agree with me too, that the titles don't, go with the good content, i only click on them because of the cool idea the thumbnail or title is implying (since it's not straight up clickbait), and because it's a CorridorCrew video.
edit: You can tell that this trait goes back on forth on and on and on, i don't say that the ads also are bad, since,
1. They have a time marker,
2. They're better for the channel,
3. I wouldn't call every product dumb unless it's absolute dumb.
I just hope Cmike, sees these comments though, so they can experiment and see if it has a positive effect, also going with the new branding.
Edit 2:
But i do get the, "many videos are fully sponsored and about sponsored products and only about half the segment becomes about normal stuff" i can see that, and i do agree, i wish there more BTS (Behind the scenes) footage, more video development topic videos, more Wren doing cool Tech stuff, but i mean, it's good they even make videos on their downtime while making the Corridor Official videos especially if they make the content still interesting in my opinion.
do cars actually beep that much in the US?
Dude I came to ask the same! I thought Cmike added some background beeping sounds in post! hahaha.
Bupeldox no
Lucas Sanczyk Sounds like India in California lol
i'm pretty sure that's all put in. all the horns sounded like foley instead of being recorded on the same mic he was using
So stoked for that meetup. I've been watching for too long
Part of the problem is the bike you chose. If you had a bike with a much larger battery you might think differently about using it for long trips. That bike has a 36 volt, 11.6 Ah battery. For the same money as the Blix you can find a number of ebikes with 48 volt systems and batteries with 50% more capacity. I commute on an ebike with a 17.5 Ah, 48V battery, and once I found the most direct biking routes (not necessarily even similar to car traffic routes) My commute time was cut almost by half. My bike also tops out at just under 30MPH. I believe the Blix is limited to 20MPH. Of course it also depends where you are and where you want to go. But I've driven in LA, and except for wanting to avoid the worst parts of the city, I would totally commute on my ebike there.
0:40 Oh my GAWD! that transition!
Kelly Kozzy how is that impressive?
Kelly Kozzy check out the intro to their video called dont touch that mavic
It still freaks my out watching Americans cycle without helmets. Its mandatory Law here in Australia and as a cyclist i cant live without mine
Also Pannier racks my dude help on that awesome bike
I just saw your Chromebook ad... Nice job!
New banner photo is badass, nice job Sam.
Come to China, see what non pedestrian friendly really is like, LA is a piece of cake compared to China.
TehBunnieh So sad. Grew up with the pictures of wide Beijing streets filled with bicycles (in my school books, nowhere near China).
I don't need to watch for the results.. I know it is faster, less expensive: no parking, no gas, can work on your own bike. I sold my car 11 years ago and haven't' missed it.
That corridor crew banner look sick! Love it!
The "Zen Time" is something that as an avid cyclist I have experienced quite frequently.
For a guy with a law degree, I'm surprised you were not wearing a helmet while riding a bike in non-biking city, while vlogging! That just Crazy! Are the laws different in L.A? If so, they should be changed.
Also, now that is been brought up. Do you wear a helmet when riding your motorbike?
Please wear a helmet! I care about your head
Love the new intro!
