Based in merry old London, Harvey does, indeed, ride bikes on his TikTok account — but he does so much more.
“HarveyRidesBikes” is the perfect counterspell for those who might stereotype biker culture as overly aggressive. While Harvey’s face remains hidden in a classic motorcycle helmet, his personality knows no bounds. He wriggles through London streets and crosswalks making engaging conversation with strangers, focusing on positivity and connection via simple acts like fist bumps and compliments.
The best version of this content comes when Harvey comes face-to-face (er, helmet-to-face) with an upset driver amid road rage. Rather than escalate the situation toward violence, Harvey responds with simple silliness, and it remains a delight to watch the perpetrators’ faces upturn in an inadvertent smile.
Rolling around on a delicious Triumph T120 Bonneville, Harvey shows off the trials and tribulations that come from being a city cycler. Of particular note is the “Average Speed Camera” race against a car in traffic, a keen flip of what may feel boring into exciting, relatable content — just don’t try it at home.
