VIRAL VIDEO – Boris Bikes Have Never Looked So Cool
Words: Holly Macnaghten
Boris bikes have never looked so cool. Simple as that.
Whilst most of us are used to seeing, or indeed using, them on our morning commutes – darting between London busses and irate drivers, this is certainly a new look for the bikes that BoJo introduced back in 2010. 4 years later and the Bikes are even more popular than most probably ever imagined. With new docking stations popping up left, right and centre, there seems to be no end to the bikes appeal, but cool? They are not. Until now. Enter: the viral video that has got us glued to our screens this morning.
This video is both impressive and funny. The FightMe collaborative social video initiative has released a video of Trial bikers and Freerunners stunting around tourist hotspots and landmarks of London. The bikers commandeered Boris Bikes for the clip, flipping, jumping and twisting in ways you never imagined they could. FightMe is making waves on the social scene – check it out now.
