Bike Culture

CBNC for Rudy’s from ace carretero on Vimeo.

For those of you who might think cycling is all about getting to work, or guys in spandex there is so much more. Cycling has a lot of “camps”, you got your roadies, your fixed gear kids, your urban cyclists, your racers, your touring cyclists, cycle chic, and more. This video is just a nice little slice of one little part of bicycling culture. I have been to plenty of parties in this town where there is a row of bikes half a block long chained to a fence out front, and I can tell you nothing is more fun. Cycling culture is the culture that builds up around cycling.

Given even half a chance cycling will bleed over into all parts of your life. From the clothes you choose, to the way you get around, to the kind of people you want to hang out with. How has cycling influenced your life? What part of cycling culture do you enjoy?
