Bicycles lighting the night in Venice Beach - BBC News
What happens when you apply thousands of LED lights to a bicycle? You fit right in with Venice, California locals. Venice Beach, which served as a US hippy hub of the 1960s, is now seeing dozens of locals cruising its boardwalk late at night with brightly glowing rides.
The bicycle enthusiasts say they fit right in with the hundreds of performers, artists and musicians that already call Venice Beach home. BBC Pop Up's Matt Danzico is off the road this month and exploring his new home in Southern California.

So it's a good idea to get less on my mtb?
Wow - 80 riders? It's 7 years since this video and we had in my estimate tonight we had 500 riders. All ages too!
I love it and it's useful to be seen by car drivers, thumbs up!
I love riding with everyone in the Venice Beach Light Parade every Sunday at sunset. Come join all of us for the ride. Everyone is welcome to enjoy the fun💯🏁
Been at here for 2 years on my own mountain bike with led lights bought & put on my self love his saying get lit or get hit I like being safe at night 24/7 keep them videos coming
This Bike Culture is the Best Thing on wheels that ever happened I've been riding bike since I was five years old now I'm 55 years old and still going strong I'm one of djs that handle the music while riding bike.

+Merlin Bruce Hi, thanks💫
I love riding my bike at night. Sure, it might not be the coolest bike in the world, but I still think it's pretty alright with the wheel lighting it currently has (front wheel blue lights, rear wheel green). Plus a little under frame red light bar.
it was my first time riding venice light parade shit was fun
Tonight I'm going to make my surprise debut. No one in my town has a led bicycle.
I also like the one with the bike trailer
My cousin Luis is one of those lite Men! he is the one with that funny bicycle with the front wheel on the right side! (0.42 secs)
I’m the only one in my city with vibrant lights on my bike. Idk if people think it’s tacky but those who love it typically give compliments or ask questions. I’ve inspired at least one other person when it comes to LEDs but they have yet to put anything on their bike. I have also inspired a few people to get an e-bike. I showed up to work one day and someone else had gotten an e-bike from the same company. I was pleasantly surprised since, as far as I know, people tell me that they have never seen anyone else with this brand and they’ve never seen anyone with lights either. It’s great to be “unique” but I wish more people had the same interest and passion for it. It’s so lonesome here lol.
This is AWEEESOME!....I love riding with Marcus and his V.E.L.P
I was doing this with my bicycle years before this report in Farmingdale, N.Y. Long Island everybody there knows me. Very cool glad to see people catching on, they are a little slower in N.Y. too much lead in the water.
I love it!! Just moved to Venice and I am absolutely elated with joy :)
This just happened last night! I stumbled upon it while on a night ride, joined the ride and loved it! So much fun the vast majority wore masks so that was good too. About 100-200 people that night
Senseful use of freetime. Glow in the dark spray with uv light is nice also btw. :-)
Beautiful 😍👌 lights!!!!!
Lights and Music Provide a universal Calming enviroment for all to enjoy millions of tourist from all over the world visit Venice California on a daily basis and there are tons of Language barriers but the one thing we all can understand as a whole is Lights, Music and Loads of Happy People!!! ;)
My first ride in Velp I remember Marcus always in your side 5 years ago erre erre I’m Lulú
Does anybody know the song of this beautiful news ? LOVE IT!
Dope.
Very cool 🚴🏼♂️💨💨
You´re not doing ok man, you are doing great :)

I though they are talking about Venice in Italy :(
Nice!! East Coast rat rod with lights here, love to take my ride out there for the parade.
we're van I get a pair of these lights
Can't possibly know about a website somewhere, but you know. It started as a car culture, but you can't afford a car with Sodra services, because all the government is now online or maybe I just need a public support sign to be able to talk about Dark Souls again.
sabistion your not the light man come on man im the light man ok here in new mexico usa
Cool bike I want get a BBC bike with lights

+tomato totato You've clearly never played GTA V.. it's a world famous beach, many very famous Hollywood films have been shot there, lots of current huge music videos, etc.
Always someone taken check for other people’s ideas and inventions, nothing new about that.
