Ten More Music Videos with Bicycles
Here's all the bicycle music videos I've found so far on a YouTube playlist. #YouTubeNchill
1. Flume and Chet Faker - "Drop The Game" 2013 *A few bicycle cameos in a video that is all about the dance moves.
2. Duke Westlake feat. VerBS - "Geyser" 2013 *This bicycle has a starring role in the video, with close-ups and everything; courtesy of Mello Music Group.
3. Latyrx feat. Forrest Day - "Exclamation Point" 2013 *I hereby resolve to stop overusing exclamation points.
4. Isaiah Rashad feat. SZA - "Ronnie Drake" 2013 *One of my favorite things about SZA is that she is not afraid of getting dirty. She's playing with a pile of leaves in this video and can be seen wading in a dirty pond after putting her white sweater in the dirt on Ten Music Videos featuring Reflections.
5. KMD - "Peachfuzz" 1990 *MF Doom's first crew has been down with bikes since 1990.
6. Rocky Rivera - "Ain't No Way" 2014 *This video also has skateboards, playgrounds, bubbles, and dogs.
7. Dag Savage feat. Blu - "Don't Stop" 2014 *Synchronized dance routine for the win.
8. Kwamie Liv - "Follow You" 2014 *It's a blink and miss it bicycle, at 0:45. She is from Copenhagen, Denmark and she is awesome.
9. Mick Jenkins - "Jazz" 2014 *He gives some great advice in the first line of this song. Mick Jenkins is opening up for Method Man and Redman (cue giddy squeals) at The Showbox on November 3. Bonus points for having balloons.
10. Fences feat. Macklemore + Ryan Lewis - "Arrows" 2014 (SEATTLE MUSIC) *This is a truly amazing music video. It has a double bicycle as well as a tiger, some Wes Anderson shit on a train, a bunch of taxidermied (not a real word) animals and a ladder.
*The first installment of Ten Music Videos with Bicycles can be found here. It has LL Cool J, DJ Shadow, En Vogue, J Dilla, Naughty By Nature and five more.
