Godspeed you beige emperors.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Although it\u2019s often associated with illegal activity, there\u2019s still something romantic about casting off the shackles of society and feeling the wind through your hair as you tear across the country on two wheels\u2026 and riding a bicycle is kind of neat too, I guess.<\/p>\n Earlier this week a gang of\u2026 Hmm, I can\u2019t call them bikers. That\u2019s already taken\u2026<\/p>\n Earlier this week a gang of bike-a-doodles took to the famous Shibuya Scramble intersection<\/a> to show off their rad bicycles and sick tricks like wheelies and more wheelies. About 10 riders in total went in circles around the intersection and interfered with both pedestrian and car traffic as they aimlessly weaved around everyone trying to go about their lives.<\/p>\n \u25bc A news report on the kids.<\/p>\n\n As if in defiance of the bicycle\u2019s very definition of a two-wheeled vehicle, they continuously did wheelies as they ran red lights and took videos of each other doing even more wheelies<\/strong>. This followed a similar video posted on social media a few days earlier, showing a group of bike-a-doodles riding along Yasukuni-dori. You\u2019re probably not going to believe this, but they were doing wheelies at the time too.<\/p>\n I haven\u2019t checked the online comments about this story yet, but I\u2019m sure it\u2019s full of support for them and a bunch of people saying how cool they all are.<\/p>\n \u201cThey must be from out of town\u2026 way out of town.\u201d Those people must not have seen the wheelies, because if they did I think they\u2019d be singing a different tune. Meanwhile, lawyer Koji Mizogami told media that actions on bicycles are also covered by the Road Traffic Act and points out that their reckless and disruptive behavior could result in fines as high as 500,000 yen ($3,500) or up to three months in prison<\/strong>, and all the wheelies in the world won\u2019t get them out of that.<\/p>\n Oh well, at least they didn\u2019t do anything stupid like record their illegal activities<\/a> and post them publicly on the Internet.<\/p>\n Source: FNN Prime Online<\/a>, Hachima Kiko<\/a><\/em> Godspeed you beige emperors.

\n\u201cThey got all their friends together for a bike ride. How cute!\u201d<\/em>
\n\u201cThey\u2019re a regular Team Rocket, those guys.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u201cAt least it\u2019s not as noisy as motorcycles.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u201cIt\u2019s funny because they can\u2019t even afford motorbikes.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u201cModern depression-era bikers.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u201cThey couldn\u2019t even get hand-me-down motorbikes from the older kids.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u201cAt least they\u2019re giving us all something to laugh at.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u201cThis kind of thing should be out of your system by junior high.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u201cAre they environmentally conscious bikers?\u201d<\/em>
\n\u201cI wonder if they twist their hands on the handlebars and make \u2018brrrrrrrrr\u2019 sounds with their mouths.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u201cThose poor kids. That\u2019s so sad.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
