What happens when a bunch of dinky little mopeds hop on 280 between King Street and Mariposa? Watch this video and find out.

Nice bit of red light running on 5th street there – that’s a good way to die.
They must have had a tailwind to make it up the onramp
Wow! That was epic! As in super lame!

Absolutely nothing?
did i miss something?
What, am I the only one that can appreciate a bit of suspense without a big cinematic payoff?
I can appreciate ALL of these comments, as well as the video! Awesome.
I believe this demonstrates something very important about DRAMA. Toward this – SimonSays and Allan, I especially appreciate your comments! What is “super lame” (and temporally extended) in a one context is “epic” in another. When what is conventional about a setting is juxtaposed with what is not (even only as a premise or surmise, as in Hitchcock), the mere temporal extension of the juxtaposition creates dramatic tension. On a moped, just not getting hit by some dude in an automobile blasting up the 6th St. onramp onto 280 – and not getting pulled over by a CHP cruiser on its way from the Mariposa exit up Pennsylvania to 18th and Farley’s – is a hero’s journey. The call? As Mallory said of Everest, “Because it’s there!” (however, he remained there).
Are any of those moped kids the ones who work at Farley’s?
Mopeds rule. Plus, they are so fashionable. There should be a “Moped Stylz” calendar, with fashionable mopeds and their owners.
Thanks, C.!
Everyone knows you have to stay on until Cesar Chavez to be epic.
Epicly annihilated!
Triple epic!
Canada is indeed very fully and beautifully “there”. Although I would love to be on the seacoast at Ingonish right now, it may remain very much “there” – and not “here” – for me at least for the next while…
Do they have mopeds in Canada?
There, really more skidoos than mopeds.
Nootka‘s nice too.
There, more kayaks.
psht. lame.
lame. and stupid dangerous.
Allan you’re still cool though.
You scoff because you are jealous. What is the last actually epic thing any of you have done?
Had THREE beers?
pfft.
lol
