英國小綿羊飛車黨

小綿羊與青少年的次文化從1960年開始就與英國形影不離 ，前幾年英國地下小綿羊生活文化UK BikeLife 在社群媒體的帶動下一發不可收拾，現在跟隨VICE新聞一起探討這個於英國的小綿羊次文化。

VICE發現的其實是一群年輕人，在現代社會的殘酷下，試圖逃離現實、尋求幻想。
沒錯這樣玩車的生活態度，不負責任也相當危險，但他們在現有生活資源下，不理會嘲笑、盡情享受生活的哲學，卻是不折不扣英國人的成功方式。
雖然在網路上的認同看似微不足道，但對這些人來說卻是迷霧中的一點希望，一個可以加入美國機車自由文化的希望，即使這個夢無法達成至少他們也找到了自我定位。

不管如何至少經過這麼多年後，機車與男人仍是魅力、樂趣與刺激的象徵!

Mopeds and teenage boys have gone hand-in-hand since the 1960s. But in the last year UK BikeLife culture – where young scooter riders upload videos of themselves wheelie-ing down motorways and through industrial estates – has exploded, with the scene’s leaders picking up thousands of YouTube and Instagram followers in the process.

These British riders are beginning to receive international attention, not least from Baltimore’s notorious dirt bike club, the 12 O’Clock Boys. Although they may lack the CCs of their American counterparts, they’ve done a good job of making up for it with charisma and a dedication to the underdog of the two-wheeled world: the humble moped.

In London Bikelife, Daisy-May Hudson lets a nostalgia for the moped gangs of her teenage years get the better of her and travels to industrial estates on the outskirts of London to meet with the underground stars of the UK BikeLife scene. After spending some time at northwest London’s Ace Cafe – an iconic hangout for bikers and petrolheads – Daisy is taken along to one of the group’s big ride-outs, where hundreds of boys take over the roads with their mopeds.
