Generally speaking, my favorite Bay Area bike/skateboard videos involve a bunch of clips depicting the more ridiculous parts of urban life. ”fresh mucus,” which was “made with a mound of shit”, essentially perfects this. Sure, early shots of the Bay Bridge, freaked out cats, art openings, and Mr. T posters seem average. But then comes the finale, when they sneak in a clip of some asshole at 8th and Mission hammering away at a u-lock while some Financial District woman walks by, totally oblivious, chatting away on her cellphone.
Ahhhh San Francisco: where smart phones are more important than bicycles.

wait, what?
what exactly should FD woman do to the man with a hammer?
Wow really? So some lame P.O.S. bike is worth possibly getting stabbed over? Get your head out of your ass. Besides one less bike in this city is a blessing. You’ll get over.
Um, what about the guy sitting there filming it, similarly not doing anything?
It would seem that skateboard videos are also more important than bicycles.
What would you do? Would it have been a better scene to you if it were a hipster in tight jeans ignoring it without a cell phone…Christ, ten to one the girl just put her cell phone to her ear so as not to get mugged. We have a homeless issue and a petty crime issue in SF, don’t really think it’s fair to call out groups for ignoring it.
