I have to confess to a couple of ambivalences about this one. First, the music is awful. Second, this is more than one MTB video in a row, and I prefer to mix it up a bit more than that.

However.

The archival footage in the intro is charming AF, and Josh Lewis’ (no relation) riding is so fun and stupid that I can’t help watching. Also known as Loose Dog, the dude throws himself and the bike around like a 5-year-old in a bouncy castle.

Also, dumb crashes and laughter.

Robot fell in love with cycling watching the older neighborhood kids ride wheelies down the street. It was the early '70s, and Evel Knievel was jumping motorcycles over buses. Everything seemed possible. From that moment, the die was cast (iacta alia est).

He studied philosophy in college, of course he did. That's what idealists do, romantics, kids who think there must be a better way. At the same time, bikes were carrying him everywhere, delivering all of life's gifts and surprises. Occasionally he crashed and didn't mind.
