I enjoyed this. No pretense or soul searching, just riding bikes. https://www.gravelunion.cc/article/film ... 9LT7cjKIg8

This is a nice documentary, not gravel riding, but people enjoying the simplicity of riding their bikes.. It's about the riding fixed scene in Bristol a few years back.

Took me back to my Sheffield student days. That 'caff in't parks' was always welcome - features in a Pulp song too.
It's nice watching someone talented 'rail and jump' a #gravel bike, but an MTB must be more fun....?

Did I see a different video? The Stanton Switchpath thing?

I was going to use the phrase Get.In.The.Sea. but I'm not sure it's appropriate in this case.

Weird, the vimeo link in my post takes me to the Boikzmoind video.

Me too.
Also nice display of how natural it can be to have fun biking and also just use the bike to get around a place for whatever reason (surf, ski, shop, commute, swim, visit friends etc. etc.).

Looks like another nice bike from Stanton.

The couple/friends shouldn't be sharing one. Poor souls.

Nearly didn't watch it thanks to #vanlife.
