Kinda spamming it, but whatever.  This is a video my buddy and I made for school. Riding bikes saves you money, and gets you in shape.  Do it up!

Oh and fuck embedding, that shit is difficult.

If someone embeds it I will dish out the karma.

Thanks NS!

That's valid. Biking is for sure on the rise and becoming more practical errrrday.

Not a bad edit. That 3 was solid.

Well shit, it actually worked.

That was a pretty good video. I was not expecting the switch to the mountain bike. I love riding my bikes.

Sick thank you! Yeah I know it's nothing special at all, I'm an English student not a film student. Thanks for the replies guys, keep riding your bike and saving gas money!

I was biking in the summer/fall when it was nice. Too cold now though. I was biking 9km each way, kinda pisses me off when people that are really close to school don't bike. Cars are a lot more fun to just cruise around in though.

I like to ride my bike, but I also like to not be sweaty and hot for the first hour of work till I cool down. I wish work had a shower, I would run to work instead.

Word. I hope that in the future we'll see more and more workplaces catering to bikes. People are already starting to see how much money they can save when they ride and don't drive. 

Also, how nice is it when you go to the bar and can just ride your bike home when you need to go? Biking makes drinking so much easier.

the fact that you can still get a DUI on a bike is retarded...

Since the engine in my car blew up I've been biking too and from the gym. It's a nice six mile warm up and I get some pretty awesome roads to ride on. Biking is the way to go.

oh and speaking of commuting, the apartment i used to live in was up at like 10-11,000 ft on a mountain next to peoples ski homes and stuff, my ride down to school/work/skiing when i rode was like a mile hauling ass downhill on the road, then like a 30 minute light DH trail, with jumps, tons of wooden jumps and berms and stuff(whatever you call that) and it dumped you out like a minute from the school, and 5 minutes from the ski area. could ride it all summer and still a good amount in fall/spring when there wasnt much snow. then the best part is, you had a free bus take you back up right to my apartment.

Im actually really pissed now that i think about it, i wasnt into mtn biking much then, just had a shitty 600$ bike and didnt ride the trail that much. now that i ride like all the fucking time and have a nice ass freeride hardtail and 6 inch freeridey bike id be riding that every single day and getting crazy good. but i moved :( fuck, i want to move back now, this thread just reminded me that i know of a 100% perfect living location.

if anybody who owns a bike in lieu of a car complains about being able to get places, I genuinely hope that they are immediately struck by a cement truck. that being said, if you prefer to ride your bike rather than your car and don't rely on other people for longer journeys, more power to ya.
