The Freeway Ride - On Bicycles!

Proof that it's faster (and a hell of a lot more fun) to commute by bike in Los Angeles:



And extra points for taking the exit from the 10 to the northbound 405. Holy crap!

  1. I love it!!!

    Good thing no one shot them or opened a door in their way...or just cut them off. LA drivers are horrid..

  2. Such a cool video! Is it wrong to think: they should not only be wearing helmets, but also something to filter the smog / keep it out of their lungs!

  3. That rules! It almost makes me want to live in LA again just so I can do that. Almost.

  4. I would point out that it is unsafe and considered improper bicycling etiquette to ride in-between lanes of traffic. Taking the shoulder is fine, and of course using the lanes as would a car is also good. There is no need to give bicyclists a bad name by driving like a bike-messenger.
