you probably aren't the only one, but i don't agree as much. the kids who are gonna ride their bikes like idiots are going to whether they see a movie about it or not. people have been riding like that waaaay before someone made a movie about it. i rode like that in japan (well, not as crazy, i didn't ride against traffic or run lights and such. but i did ride in and around and through traffic, lane splitting and the like, and i liked it a lot. and japan is pretty orderly, nothing like new york).
i think most of the riders in the movie are over 21. i'm probably older than you are, and i can appreciate it. sorry they are not riding like you want them to ride and setting a good example and being a good fixed gear cycle ambassadors to the world. whether the are filmed like that, whether you like it or not, they are still gonna ride that way.
still a pretty kick ass movie in my opinion.
oh, and i bet a movie like
premium rush is going to make kids buy fixed gears and ride like idiots waaaay more than this movie ever will. but that is a whole other topic.
