Street gangs in an 80s movie.

Glad they cut that video right as the guy jumping from bed to trampoline was about to bounce right out of it onto the road.
"Ladder two-wheeler with underglow" was not on my 2025 bingo list.
Without the video specifying a locale, I could fill this comment with how California law has a weird prohibition on bicycles with handlebars higher than one's shoulders, but that would first require that I determine if said ladder would even be a bicycle. It might actually be an e-scooter. But instead, I'm just going to roll with it [pun intended] and enjoy the spectacle. Everyone needs some joy from time to time, including us watching and them riding.
Never forget to just go out and ride.
Did you watch the full vid?.. I mean.. all the people where not on my bingo card of 2025 to be honest: https://imgur.com/fwb5cO9
Is trampoline dude in the hospital? The cut was too quick to see 🙈
THEY DID WHAT?!
Your first reaction will tell how old you are:
- Whee, fun!
- Insurance!
- My knees!

In some jurisdictions, groups of small vehicles like this can move through intersections as if they were a single vehicle. It makes sense because a peleton would take forever to move through a stop sign otherwise, and nobody wants that.
It's possible the front of the group stopped, and when the riders in the shot caught up the front of the group was already proceeding.
This might be one of those Critical Mass ride or similar smaller event in that particular area.
Also stop sign is stupid. Some place treat stop sign as a yield sign, and some place allow people on bicycle/micromobile to treat stop sign as yield sign.
Critical Mass is bicycles, not assorted motorized art vehicles. It has a specific protest/advocacy goal of demonstrating the need for bicycle infrastructure that using a bunch of other sorts of vehicles (especially 4-wheeled ones) doesn't really serve.
This is closer to something like ATL Bike Life (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndh7s4LMNd0, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlJAySvoH9M). Not the same, to be sure, but closer.
Yup, Idaho stop, my state just legalized it this year and Colorado, where this seems to be, also has it. I just copied the title of the original post and I interpreted it as sarcastic anyway.
Are these the wartime combatants in our cities Trump is deploying troops and ICE to battle
Where is this?
I think they blew through the stop sign because it was a big loud protest/parade sort of thing. Maybe legal?
Yes in Colorado cyclists can legally treat a stop as a yield.
interesting. Makes sense, since they generally go slowly enough to see if anyone's coming.
Yep, it's commonly called the "Idaho Stop". Spending less time in intersections is safer for cyclists, and to me the biggest benefit is shutting down drivers that complain about bikes not stopping completely (even though most cars roll through anyway). If it's busy cyclists still need to stop and wait like normal.
New Mexico adopted it over the summer too. https://www.dot.nm.gov/blog/2025/07/02/new-mexico-adopts-idaho-stop-for-cyclists/

Ladder man will die an early but awesome death
They're flying pirate flags, I don't think they care about road safety laws.
Is this the video Trump saw that convinced him to send troops to Portland?!?
Commenting to remind myself to cross post this to !micromobility@lemmy.world
This is the same vibe as the Jimmy Nuetron movie/special/whatever where they turn random carnival items into spaceships.
When they wake up from the coma with a fully-developed pre-frontal, they're gonna have a lot of regrets and understanding to go with the life-altering injury.
What I said is how it's spoken by everyone I know.
Welcome to the colloquial world, my sweet summer child.
I don't know what I expected when I read "they blew a stop sign", but this was definitely not it.
