This discussion reminded me of a video I saw a while back. It's a song that gives a moving glimpse into the male dominated urban horse culture in Dublin, Ireland. It's amazing to see shots of teenage boys racing their horses through city streets.

- munificent 7y agoThis reminds of the feeling when I discovered some urban areas have subcultures of mostly black people riding dirt bikes and four-wheelers around cities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D34OOYXF10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D34OOYXF10 Such a remarkable juxtaposition of people, vehicles, and setting, like watching a schooner drift through a grocery store.

- ethbro 7y agoAtlanta's got a strong bike (and ATV) culture. It's not uncommon to see a group of 10-20 blow through downtown on the weekends when the weather's nice. I think it's awesome! Find your passion and do it. They're boisterous and the bikes are loud, but the larger clubs generally self-police reasonably well. They're usually not doing anything more dangerous than a wheelie and are obviously having a great time.
- gullywhumper 7y agoThe Atlantic had a photo essay about a riding club in North Philadelphia a couple years back. I don't know if they race, but it's still pretty crazy to see people riding horses in Philadelphia: https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2017/02/fletcher-street-riding-club/515520/ https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2017/02/fletcher-street-ri... Here's the club's site: http://www.fletcherstreeturbanridingclub.com/main.html http://www.fletcherstreeturbanridingclub.com/main.html
