I appreciate people who live life on the edge like that. He's skilled and tries not to affect anyone else, that's cool in my book.

Steel Rain to go nuts in the middle of traffic is what I call "tries not to affect anyone else" too! It's 100% cool in everyone's book! btw nice photo, man, you must be #1 hoolingan in your area, real baddie >:o

Thank you, I run block with my homies.

"My goal is to ride without being in anybody's way," my respect for you just went up another +10.

I've seen people drive like this guy rides in London all the time. Difference is he's not angry and swearing at you because you've slowed him down. He just cycles around you, job done. And those who say 'if he crashes he deserves it' maybe but how many fatal we're caused by cars this year. A massive ton more.

10 years later and this is the man behind the Omnium cargo bikes! 🔥

I'm 24, work as a full time engineer and still ride my bike everywhere. Best form of transport and believe me, it is much faster than any form of motorised vehicle during rush hour traffic. Plus a good workout too.

You are 100% correct. I've been cycling, fixed gear, for about 5 years now and people think the aggressive way of riding is actually unsafe. Making judgement and riding that aggressive is actually safer than riding casually in a city setting. City drivers are aggressive as well so you need to make yourself seen. This is 100% correct riding and I love how he also has respect for drivers saying that he doesn't want to be a disruption or bother anyone. This rules.

Finally a featured bike messenger who actually takes the other traffic into account as being people.

Not sure why every video about messengers on YT has angry people being aggressively negative. If you hate people who ride fast so much, why even click on the video? What else could you possibly expect to find?

yep you can say that about all the messengers on youtube. I only find it refreshing that he's at least aware of his impact on traffic and somewhat tries to not cause heavy problems

great video! props from berlin

Awright!!! Super fast! Respect from México.

FOR ALL THE PEOPLE ADRESSING COMMENTS DIRECTLY TO JUMBO: HE IS NOT THE ONE RECIEVING THEM, AND I DON'T THINK HE REALLY CARES WHAT YOU THINK ANYWAY... I AM A FILMMAKER LIVING IN NYC, SOON WITH MORE ASPHALT FLICS TO COME - LIKE IT OR NOT. I'M HAVING A BLAST! -THANKS FOR WATCHING AND DEBATING!

amazing video, thanks for sharing!

Adds colour to the city and as he said, if your not causing trouble then good luck to him. Is the fastest way to get important paperwork around town.

Awesome!

really cool!

Cheers Asphalt, il try to reach him. Best regards and keep making those great documentaries.

dont let them get you down! you make some great videos.

Cool guy, great rider. Reminds me of an old melbourne messenger named Dan Ash, best courier i ever saw.

That Rocked!!

The Black Keys, or Dan Auerbach's solo album, can't tell. LOVE THEM.

Dope!

That was quite fkn awesome really guys got great bike skill

Awesome dude! It's always a rush to ride with speed and dodge traffic!

0:52!!! ohhh shiiiit! ;-) nice riding skills!

Man you are too cool on that fixed wheel. Stay safe bro!!

cool video, what he said in subtitles at the end really makes sense, too bad I cant play sound coz i desperately want to hear the tune-Lovely stuff.

oh man, this guy rules.

He's awesome

Great video. Couldn't of picked a better song.

very cool

This is the same style and philosophy i have when it comes to bike riding in a city - cyclist find their way around 'objects', none moving and moving(humans are also objects for a cyclist). No one should care about the cyclist or move out of their way,that is unexpected move for us and actually makes everything harder.

Five years are gone but still... While I have the same goal and principles as you and this guy, I think one should care about pedestrian boundaries, is very natural to get freaked out/surprised/scared/annoyed if a guy pass just by your side/in front of you while you are walking on the crosswalk or the sidewalk, and whatever our skill level we are putting them in a non-asked, unnecesary and plain absurd dangerous situation while they are existing in a supposed shared safe area... there are enough 4ssh0l3s in cars sh1tt1ng on them already, let's be just little smarter and human than those. People are subjects, with their own inwardness, experiences, feelings etc, not objects.

Best out of the four!

Victor Fath Well, there are goals and things I want do with my life rather than act like a careless Juvenile :)

To outsiders it does indeed look dangerous and probably ruthless. The secret is to not be seen by other people before it's basically too late for them to react. If you pay attention, you may notice that in the "dangerous" situations he either approaches other people from behind or passes by very quickly - out of the nowhere (from their perspective). Of course this requires massive experience. To get an idea about what distances messengers typically cover in few days, take a look at this nice time lapsed animation of GPS tracked rides: lab.bikecitizens.net/cycle-courier-rides/

Have ya thinked about mountain biking? Its so dam AWESOME

Thanks alot, join on FB if you like -see link above. New Asphalt episodes from NYC coming up soon.

DC messenger here. Jumbo's on point.

*WOW!*

Dude!!!!! your freakin' fast :)

looool at 2'32!!! nice vid

He broke his own rules by making that truck driver panic.

Thanks baws!

cool video, what he's saying at the end really makes sense, too bad I cant play sound coz i desperately want to hear the tune great stuff.

that's funny about the 3:00 p.m. deadline for court filing, because here on the other side of the world, we have same 3:00 p.m. deadline at some courts. they have a computer which generates your number to wait in line to get something filed. show up at 3:01 p.m., and you don't get no number, and can't file. you'd be a great court runner/process server lol

you are amazing rider

Nice one :D

Fedt arbejde, Jumbo :) /Delta

great vid and even better soundtrack always found that black sabbath intro kinda creepy, but nonetheless awesome song

cool video, what he's saying at the end really makes sense, too bad I cant play sound coz i desperately want to hear the music now

now thats a nice job :)

this dude is legit premium rush ;)

amazing.. im from southamerica, my boyfriend its a fixie rider, greetings, sorry for my english

Great! Welcome to Russia! We don't have bike tracks and we don't have tickets for bikers either! :-) Was nice to see familiar places of Kobenhavn, thanks!

Great song choice Sabbath kicks so much ass man

Lover

Har selv kørt mange år i Kbh, men sjældent har jeg set rådden kørsel.. Du bringer andres liv i fare ved at køre på den måde og det har jo intet at gøre med at være hurtig når du ikke overholder reglerne. Tænk lige hvis andre trafikanter ikke overholdte reglerne, så kommer der pludselig en fra siden der ikke burde være der og klipper dig.Tænk dig om.

Jeg har en ven der udformer og udsmykker miniature violiner, til en overkommelig pris (han sælger næsten udelukkende til pygmæer og kretinere). Jeg vil gerne spille på en for dig; hvor bor du, så kan jeg lige komme forbi?

I once rode through with Antonio Da Cruz in Sydney AFTER the Olympic Games RR in 2000. He was awesome through traffic, anyone who thinks Pros would struggle to match a messenger in traffic should be made aware this is probably not the case.

was this beginning footage shot with a VHS GoPro?

Juuuuummmmmmmbbbbbooooooo!!!!

Jumbo can ride!

is this the guy that designed the omnium cargo bike?

❤❤🔥🔥

Rushes an risks ! :D

chainring and cog combination of good that's how, so that feels light skid?? thank you

What's that thing over the back wheel for? For holding packages?

Sorry, English is my 2. language -I'm Danish like Jumbo, but Episodes from NYC coming up soon and then subs won't be necessary anymore...

This is great!!! Can you remind me who plays the initial song please?

This is one of the rare fixie videos on youtube where I can respect the guy. If someone beeps their horn, that means you're in their way. Tone the fuck down and try again :). Thanks for the nice video!

your fucking amazing bro

Wonderfull COPENHAGEN CITY, like in Asphalt CoPenHagen...

A bit optimistic on the numbers there aren't we? In NYC the rate is $4-$5 max per delivery. In London, England the rate is 2 GBP max per delivery. There is not a delivery every 10 minutes, couriers can deliver as little as 10 packages as many as 40 in a day. What this works out to is that beginning couriers average $8-$12 per hour for the hours they work. Experienced couriers average $11-$15/hr. Then there are the "stars" that are capable of $15-$21/hr. For this last group there are very few.

I ride a old schwinn 10 speed road bike :) this guy is inspiring I wanna be a messenger

what kind of crank do you use ?

so this is where the movie "Premium Rush" got all their ideas from...now i get it...

cool

isn't there a movie like this coming out?

Love the Danish for "worst case scenario" 2:00

@AsphaltCPH It's probably been asked already and you've probably answered it, so in advance sorry to ask.... again ;) I wanted to know what bike you ride and most of all what's the brand and the model of your wheels. Cheers keep cruising with that great style of yours and most of all stay safe. PS: I had some great rides everytime i was in København, great city, great spirit PEACE from Paris :)

what frame did he use?

What is the song at the end of the video?

I've only been hit by a car once when somebody merged into me to make a right with no blinker. Thankfully I was aware, bumped into the car to bounce off and absorb the impact, didn't even have to put my foot down.

kinda inspires me to ride fixed alot more, but then discourages me, cuz i know i wont be as good as him lol haha

Am I right that this is a guy who won trackstands in Dublin 2007 Bike Messengers World Championship?

Whoa, that's a little harsh. He's making a living based on runs, not hours. I'm sure it's an adrenaline rush, and he does break a few traffic laws, but I'd love to grab a coffee with this guy. Then again, that's your opinion, and I don't want a comment fight.

100% safe rider yes.

That's just one of the best fun way to ride a bicycle

What`s the song in the end?

1:16 I think this is how most of us messengers feel.

what bike is that

what frame he rides?
