The Escape - Mexico City with Safa Brian
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- Safa Brian is arguably one of the most well-known ex-bike-messengers around. Follow him as he returns to the megapolis of Mexico City, the place where he intended to stay for vacation and ended up living for six years, where he started to get into road cycling for the first time and founded his first company, a bike messenger service. Along with his good friend Ana Puga, Safa endeavors on a high-paced bike ride on his SCOTT Foil RC, leading him from the buzzing street canyons of the city up to a volcano and back again.

Safa was the reason I got into road cycling and it was the best thing that happened to me in the past couple years.
Same! This dude's videos absolutely changed my life.
Me too
I just started and realized it's been quite awesome tackled 100 miles in one week.
great idea. awesome dude. i love cycling.
Me too
Me alegra que Scott ponga sus ojos en Ciudad de México, en este lugar hay grandes ciclistas y muchos lugares por visitar en tu bicicleta. Estoy seguro de que en el futuro un ciclista mexicano va a competir en Tour de France o Giro d'Italia y seguro lo hará con una Scott.
Gracias Safa Brian por mostrar un poco de esta linda ciudad ♥
Ya han competido mexicanos. Pero nunca un equipo completo como tiene que ser
@@dirtyboyprettyboy me refiero a que un mexicano llegue al nivel de Jonas Vingegaard
Jajaja que ridicules
Ismael del toro acaba de firmar con UAE team así que es es un hecho que veremos a un mexicano en el tour de france con uno de los mejores equipos
Raul Alcala won the young rider classification back in the day. I think he may have been the first Mexican to compete in the Tour.
Welcome SAFA ..cdmx is.your.home and have many fans in this country..and Puga proud of your skills and career..
I always feel welcome in cdmx. Gracias!
I never knew Brian used to be a bike messenger and I’ve watched a lot of his awesome videos. It really puts in a different perspective how he handles himself in traffic somehow. Anyway, keep going Safa!
Que fiera Ana Puga, impresionante como bajas entre los coches. Thanks for the video Safa Brian
Watching safa's fixed gear México city videos is what got me into cycling
You folks at Scott completely outdid yourselves!!! This is my fav video starring SAFA, and the best sponsored cycling video I've ever seen! Brian and Ana Puga, in Mexico City?!??! OMG!!!! You just leap-frogged R****'s media department. The production for this video is out of this freaking world!!! Ana has my absolute fav video of all time w/ Terry B. Plus, I'm a big fan of SAFA's page, I've seen every video twice, and this episode gives him the budget and production crew that he deserves. I've always wanted to see more footage of him in Mexico City!!! Holy shit! Can we get this show on DisneyPlus+?? Please keep making these!!! MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE!!! MAS MAS MAS MAS MAS MAS MAS MAS!!!! Great job production crew!!!! Great job video editor(s)!!! Ana and SAFA I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
Now this is the kind of enthusiasm we love to see! Mas mas mas! Thanks for the love @NyleRaps 🙌
❤
@@scottsportsu should bless the less fortunate (me) with a Scott Foil Rc😂
Such a nice, friendly vibe between these two superb athletes 😊
Loved you sharing your background as a bike messenger , 32 years ago i worked as a messenger in hilly London Town , for a little while only , so i really respect you haven ridden such a long time Safa , rrspect !!
I spent some time working in that auld town too. Hardest city to navigate by far.
This is 40 mins away from where I was born, gunning it with my Orbea next time I'm home. Top vid from Safa as per usual 👍🏼
I enjoy watching Ana ride through the city.....superb bicycle handling.
Las quesadillas más grasosas de la marquesa. Felicidades por patrocinar al mejor ciclista, Scott. :)
Just a fantastic watch! Mexico looks cool!
Such an enjoyable video. Clearly an endearing friendship and so cool to see outer Mexico city. Beautiful. Gnarly descent on that road!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Always good to see dear Anita on the road.
Great vist and ride. Saludos a la paisana desde el istmo oaxaqueño; I miss my CDMX. When I got here, at Oaxaca, I had to quit my rides in the velódrome Agustin Melgar, and Auto, or La Loma, etc. good luck and have a awsome life.
This is awesome! Another guy here who started following Safa from the videos with Terry B riding in Mexico City a few years ago and then got into road cycling myself. Also the Foil is such a beautiful bike, my god.
Yeah, compared to those days this Video is almost too tame. But it is fun to Watch, Good story and history telling.
Classic Ajusco-Marquesa loop, I did it a few times, brings back good memories. Indeed, the potholes going down to Xalatlaco are insane. No maintenance in decades in the State of Mexico. I must confess that the best quesadillas AND pan de elote are on the way to the Centro Ceremonial Otomí...
Unfortunately there is long going political dispute between two municipal authorities but for the moment it is nobody’s land.
It would be great for Mexico City officials to pass a bill to re surface the roads. I think this will help athletes and young upcoming to the sport. Nice video!
Par de máquinas! esa ruta es una joya citadina!! 🥵🥵
Bienvenidos a México cabrones!!!! nice video my friends, amazing to see differents famous cyclings in México, like the SAFA Brian and others like Terry Barenten etc. etc.
Nice work, great film, production, theme, and good to hear about Brians' life in el pasado. Gracias
Hey SAFA I think Ana is definitely deserving of a nice Scott bike 🤗🤣 jkjk. Awesome video brother
genial que hermosos paisajes, espero algún día volver a México y poder rodar por las calles de esta caótica pero hermosa ciudad!
Todo increíble y bien me hubiera gustado ver un manejo más responsable por parte de ella cuando regresaban a la ciudad. Me pareció muy arriesgada la forma en la que cruzaban entre los carros.
parte de la experiencia
For more wild action of Safa en Ciudad de Mexico, check out his clips with Terry B. Some of the wildest city riding you'll see.
Great work as usual on the PR, marketing, and promotion of your brand, it has been a pleasure watching your content with all the creators online. You make dope videos and you make dope bikes.
Cool video - nice vibe Safa
There's Tom Pidcock descending in an LA canyon at 80km/h and then there's this 🤯. Algún día me atreveré a explorar así la ciudad en la que crecí
Very awesome video! 👍🏾👍🏾
Ana Puga, puro power!
Nice to see Safa meet Ana Puga
Buen trabajo Amigo - VIVA MÉXICO
Amazing video man! I just started cycling this year and loved it, I can show you one of the best roads in Mexico State! It’s called ruta otomi i it is higher than ajusco with more beautiful views! Best training spot in Mexico State!
I have a descent video from Centro Ceremonial. Just haven't released it yet. Great road indeed.
I now know why Safa is such an amazing rider.
Love the bike very good road handling.
Can't wait ti ride there
Fantastic Video Kids😀👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Rifados! 🔥
Dope! More Mexico City videos por favor.
Están bien pinches locos!!!! ❤❤❤
Blessed Virgin Mother Mary, pray for us & for speed!
Much as i loved riding in Mexico and CDMX, the roads can be truly awful :)
Takin my gravel bike next time!
Wow, that's like driving your bike on a dedicated motorway? That's crazy, here in Germany that is actually not allowed, the Autobahn is for motorized vehicles only and they even have to be able to drive at least 60km/h by default and even if that wouldn't be the case I would be way too scared to drive my bike, while getting passed by vehicles driving 130km/h+ especially without a dedicated bike lane... 🤯😅
Wow!
That part is very cool 🎶🎶🎶🎶 10:30
this was great!
Incredible video, kudos.
Brian, I loved this one! Unfortunately, the only way I seem to learn about Latin America is by watching vlogs like yours. There seems to be lots of positive energy coming from Latin America.
Nice video ❤
I enjoyed this.
Nice video 👍🏼
Thanks for that...
Ana puga is the car whisperer 😂😂😂😂
Nice vid!
Epic.
safa Legend
Knowing that you were a messenger makes me understand the daredevil aspect of your riding. Don’t get me wrong, I see that you take precautions, but your rides are not for the inexperienced or the timid.
Hay algun link donde se pueda descargar la ruta? (any link to download the route?)
Dreams come true
Why no lights? It's important, that the guys on the spotlight like you treat safety as a top priority. It's almost like posting a bike video with no helmets. Folks are following your habits! Be a good example! Kudos for great video!
if you ever watched safa bombing mexico city on a breakless bike you'll get that he shouldn't be seen as rolemodel when it comes to riding a bikes. you should recognize him for his intersexual feminism and how he embraces women in the sport, his nuanced and based view on the obvious poor mexico city as well as his kind and nice character paired with ambition and a big love for cycling. fuck bike lights man there is much more important stuff.
@@BeastyBite yeah, you're right, that there are more important things in this video for sure, while I still insist, that they would eventually become null, if someone run over one of them by car because he/she had no light and was not visible enough. Cycling fun and everything beautiful around ends at moment of crashing - true story.
Chingon!!!!
Nice ride!
We have some amazing roads here in Ukraine, come and try it!
The lady is amazing in the city touching cars )
Every time you take your helmet off, it reminds me of the "Slow Down Jesus" video, cause you look like Jesus. Lol!!! Always good stuff SAFA!
I can see myself riding around there but I'm not an uphill person Tho the view is beautiful.
Soy ese 😎🚴♂️
Where can I find/purchase the cycling cap of Mexico? Donde puedo encontrar la gorra de mexico?
I was today years old when I learned that Safa's real name is Brian Wagner
Oh my how fantastic 😍 😀
Glad to see that Montréal has some competition for being pothole capital of the world. 😂
Wait. Is the nickname SAFA short for safado? As in loco/insane?
What kind of bike are those?
Caminos del tercer mundo para entrenarse? Todos mis respetos a uno de los mejores del mundo.
alguien sabe que porcentaje tiene la subida en promedio ?
hermosa
Could you tell me. How to find this road?
l o v e Ana Puga M E X I C O cap
Es obligatorio que los ciclistas paguen en la caseta???
6:01 to 6:05 - The editor forgot to color grade this clip.
Es bueno que Scott , proporcione este tipo de escaparate a nuestro ciclismo sin embargo creo que es necesario dejar saber que una parte del recorrido es en contra de la ley ya que el tramo de la caseta de la venta a cdmx no se permite el paso a ciclistas . Y la verdad ha habido muchos accidentes por no respetar esa regla. Creo que hay que dar un buen ejemplo .
👌
That girl is crazy
MéXICOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Gotta use mountain bike on those immaculate roads dude..... 🤦♂🤦♂ Terrible ridding conditions
👋😊👋😎
Nice to see Roger Federer riding xD
come on, where are the fixed gear bikes !!!? : (
Can you tell which bottles are those you are using?
She's in love 💖 him
Damn she led that ride and you wont even add her name to the title of the video? Bummer.
Wagner is a german name 😀
be very careful. In mexico people drives very badly and it is common to run over cyclists
Demasiado pero demasiado riesgo corrieron en varias ocasiones, incluso está prohibido que las bicis entren en el tramo donde toca el tráiler con la mano, es autopista
Que pinche feo manejan en el tráfico
Please don't turn drivers against cyclists, ride safe!!
A disgrace to cyclists, safa, a man who repeatedly drives dangerously. The same dangerous organization supports this man, SCOTT.
Mimi dont cry kid
I need a long form version of this video. Posted on @SAFA’s page!!! Plz+Ty!!
