Nice video, but I took an instant dislike to him on account of the fixie singlespeed, the narrow bars and the whiney voice.

I do have to ask why he could not take the bike upstairs with him though.

Good plan, until that one is also full of other bikes and he locks it through the stem again... 🙄

Nice work...

It's just a New York voice. He is a bit of a hipster though - but somehow he makes it look very cool.

He says in the comments: [i]"ever been to new york city? nothing simple about bringing a bike? inside"[/i]

I was waiting for someone to trip over it and sue the pants off him.

So many parts of that film, from the knuckle duster knife to open the box, 'cool' skids, workman 'uniform etc. just screamed.......... [b]pillock[/b] 😐

So the solution to no bike parking is to install your own.

But this turns out to be illegal and you have to remove it.

Well I don't know about the rest of you but I've definitely learned something today

Nope, sorry. That second video still makes me dislike him.

I'll say this though, he probably better at doing mad tricks on his mountain bike that I am. He's also probably way cooler than I am.

Not that I really care.

Why would you lock your bike over the top of someone else's? Take the bike up stairs into your big empty workspace, or if for some unknown reason you can't take a full sized bike up the stairs stop being such a hipster whore and get a folding bike that is actually useful for the environment in which you live.

I like this. The lack of bike parking in London annoys me.

He may be a bit of a character, but he does make a good video. Go and watch some of his other stuff before writing him off...

Wow tough crowd!

I think Casey's videos are very watchable, maybe some just don't connect with his humour and conscious narcissism.

Maybe his bike lane video will win some over?

Or his bike thief one?

Are these really worse than 30 minutes of wobbly headcam footage of a middle-aged IT consultant bimbling round a trail centre on several grands worth of under used bike? 😉

I thought it was quite funny, he's clearly a passionate biker whatever his choice of bike and that cycle lane vid was great.

It does seem to differ from the British approach....
