Watch: Best Side Cycling captures what it’s like to ride Chilly Hilly

In what may be his best ride video yet, Hanoch Yeung of Best Side Cycling took a slew of video equipment, including a fly-along drone, to capture what it’s like to ride Cascade Bicycle Club’s longest-running annual ride: Chilly Hilly.

The winter-time ride is renown and even celebrated for its unpredictable weather, and while turnout of typically good in rain (or like last year, snow), the numbers can balloon if the sky happens to be clear. It wasn’t exactly clear last weekend, but close enough. More than 2,000 people rode this year, and anyone starting on the east side of Elliott Bay began with an iconic bike-filled ferry ride. As Yeung (who is a recent addition to the Cascade board) says in the video, “It’s sort of like if you entered into an upside-down world where everyone commutes by bikes, and we fill these boats and ferries with people and their two wheels.”
