Bike Life is a community that borders on a movement—artistic, social, and expressive. The scene is predominantly composed of young adults and teens from diverse backgrounds and genders from all over the city who express a creative language and personal style through bike tricks—wheelies, swerving, dancing, and surfing.Gatherings happen regularly as ride-outs, where anywhere between 10 and 1500 bikers ride en mass, weaving through the city for anywhere between 10 and 35 miles while mesmerizing bystanders with a parade of stunts and choreographed and freestyle compositions. Bike Life's circulating message, "We're outside," speaks to a certain adjoining vibe—of freedom and positivity, staying true, celebrating, and lifting up each other's individual styles, not only on the bike but in their world that follows, in their being.Bike Life—it's the movement and tricks and being in the flow. It's the feeling of wind while you map the city. It's popping wheelies with your pack. In Bike Life, that bike is life.https://www.newyorker.com/culture/photo-booth/biking-outside-the-lines-in-new-york-cityhttps://www.nationalgeographic.com/photography/article/new-york-city-bike-culture
