Bike Hero

It's an awesome ride and a lot of fun. Even though it was a "viral ad", it doesn't ruin it for me that much. I think I've watched it (with pausing, rewinding, etc) about 10 times now and still appreciate it for what it is.
I don't mind viral ads that much in general, but as long as it is done in an intelligent and hip way. The fun ends when it becomes obvious and you can see it coming from a mile away.

Case and point from comments like this from the article:

Ha.

Was watching X-Play this afternoon and they reviewed the Bike Hero video and claimed it fake.

MWUHAHA! We beat them to it though.

What losers. They forgot the first rule of night riding is to wear bright clothes so cars can see you.

Thankfully, I don't have such a death wish:

Didn't do the whole song because: 1. Trying to make a point, and I don't need 8 minutes to make a point, and 2. LAPD doesn't care about most things (we literally had a squad car just blow by while I was doing the "dump my bike and yell into the camera" part in the street), but they will care if a car starts blowing through stop signs and stoplights for eight minutes straight.
