Tokyo Night Ride With Bike Messengers

Tokyo is immense in scale, I've yet to visit anywhere like it. It makes Mexico City feel small. For the purpose of creating this film we mostly stuck to Shibuya and Shinjuku for this film as these areas have a ton of lights and action going on.

This is sick.

the guy doing a wheely in a busy pedestrian zone is just outright stupid

the americana way my friend

Awesome ride thank you for sharing

My single speed was recently stolen. This video got my leg muscle fibers dancing. Time for a new build!

[@user-lj6um7pi5m]

If you single speed and do not have the help of cadence for extra speed, why don't you people make all those singles to fixies..???!!

[@SonnyDarvishzadeh]

@@user-lj6um7pi5m what are you on about? help of cadence? Google flip-flop bicycle hub before writing a new comment.

[@yutiros5174]

because coasting is useful?

[@user-lj6um7pi5m]

@@yutiros5174 you can always take the speedie and coast as much as ya like it will be easier for. Uphills too.. Having one speed only is cause when y having a fixie you can't fix the wheel and change speeds all together.. You can always just stop pedalin on the fixie and the bike will do the work so you can rest, but you can't always break with a lighter bike that doesn't have break clamps... The whole thing of being light and simple, just doesn't make sense with single speeds... Sorry for the lot's of talkin... Enjoy your rides people no matter how we prefer to ride ;) !!

would've been cool to see you on a track bike again too! great video as always Safa and happy new year!

finally! i was waiting for this :) great video! hey Safa!

I love bike riding but if I’m walking out of a bar and get hit by a bike I will sue your ass🤣

[@ronasaurus74]

D'ya know how long he's been at it, and never hit anybody? Trust me, I messengered for 21 years (2 years alongside Safa- I was the old bastard- he the young gun), you get such a feel for what's happening, or going to happen, that it really is like a sixth sense. You'd be avoided before you'd even stepped out. A person is only a foot and a half wide, all you've got to do is not be in that foot and a half- easy, provided you don't fixate on what you don't want to hit!

Yes, thank you

That’s what’s up ⛩️

[@CyclingAround]

Cool vibe🪩

[@pemek1172]

why so wide handlebar pipe? and why they didn't delivering anything nowhere?

[@ronasaurus74]

After work fun ride with friends. Messengers are messengers because they love riding bikes, will take any opportunity to ride them. It's nice to just ride for fun, just cruise around, not going anywhere in particular. That was a really slow, casual, fun cruise. As for the wide bars- each to their own- I ran bars no wider than my shoulders, but some colleagues, work mates, ran wide bars- they're better for fixed gear freestyle tricks. I wasn't into tricks, I was into flowing through traffic very, very fast and splitting lanes- so narrow bars, but not stupid narrow, so I still had control. I worked with Safa for two years, by the way. We were both a lot younger then, though 40-42, in my case, isn't really young

Bad Ass

[@justpitchit]

Awesome video! The 360 camera does a great job in low light.

[@AldenRoth]

chaotic city riding like this is so fun, but yall need helmets!

[@ronasaurus74]

That was a reeeeeally slow ride. The chance of having the type of fall where you'd hit your head, is a big fat zero. If you'd notice, when Safa is doing fast stuff- either fast, technical lane splitting city stuff, or high speed mountain descents- he ALWAYS wears a helmet. Same reason why ordinary people riding bikes in countries in Europe, where everyone rides bikes for transport, don't wear them, and they don't get a large amount of head injuries, clogging their hospitals. Almost none. You have to have momentum up, speed, before you can get thrown and hit your head.

[@danielnoguera6418]

one of your coolest videos to date

[@azch6424]

Weird video Safa lol. Brilliant at the same time. I'm trying to watch it while spinning indoors and trying not to fall off the bike or get sick hahahaha😂😂😂
