It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I really need to find and join this group.
"Ladder two-wheeler with underglow" was not on my 2025 bingo list.
Without the video specifying a locale, I could fill this comment with how California law has a weird prohibition on bicycles with handlebars higher than one's shoulders, but that would first require that I determine if said ladder would even be a bicycle. It might actually be an e-scooter. But instead, I'm just going to roll with it [pun intended] and enjoy the spectacle. Everyone needs some joy from time to time, including us watching and them riding.
Never forget to just go out and ride.
Did you watch the full vid?.. I mean.. all the people where not on my bingo card of 2025 to be honest: https://imgur.com/fwb5cO9
I did, but like, there wasn't much else that I could say. So I figured I wouldn't spoil the video for anyone.
Is trampoline dude in the hospital? The cut was too quick to see 🙈
Yeah I winced watching that one. But the low 4 wheeler and shopping cart looked fun and safer
Exactly what I camebtobthe comments for. That dude does not look like he would've just stopped.
This may be the dumbest thing I've ever seen and I love it.
This has to be in a country with universal health care

Your first reaction will tell how old you are:

- Insurance!

What if it's all three
In some jurisdictions, groups of small vehicles like this can move through intersections as if they were a single vehicle. It makes sense because a peleton would take forever to move through a stop sign otherwise, and nobody wants that.
It's possible the front of the group stopped, and when the riders in the shot caught up the front of the group was already proceeding.
THEY DID WHAT?!
“they needed the money!!”
This might be one of those Critical Mass ride or similar smaller event in that particular area.
Also stop sign is stupid. Some place treat stop sign as a yield sign, and some place allow people on bicycle/micromobile to treat stop sign as yield sign.
Critical Mass is bicycles, not assorted motorized art vehicles. It has a specific protest/advocacy goal of demonstrating the need for bicycle infrastructure that using a bunch of other sorts of vehicles (especially 4-wheeled ones) doesn't really serve.
This is closer to something like ATL Bike Life (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndh7s4LMNd0, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlJAySvoH9M). Not the same, to be sure, but closer.
Yup, Idaho stop, my state just legalized it this year and Colorado, where this seems to be, also has it. I just copied the title of the original post and I interpreted it as sarcastic anyway.
Idaho stop
In Malaysia we call it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Are these the wartime combatants in our cities Trump is deploying troops and ICE to battle
Glad they are wearing a helmet
what the dickens !
Where is this?
Looks like Boulder CO to me
I think they blew through the stop sign because it was a big loud protest/parade sort of thing. Maybe legal?
Yes in Colorado cyclists can legally treat a stop as a yield.
interesting. Makes sense, since they generally go slowly enough to see if anyone's coming.
Yep, it's commonly called the "Idaho Stop". Spending less time in intersections is safer for cyclists, and to me the biggest benefit is shutting down drivers that complain about bikes not stopping completely (even though most cars roll through anyway). If it's busy cyclists still need to stop and wait like normal.
New Mexico adopted it over the summer too. https://www.dot.nm.gov/blog/2025/07/02/new-mexico-adopts-idaho-stop-for-cyclists/
