What does the title, “Bundy” have anything to do with a music video. It could be the fact that Dirtbag Dan is currently on a killing spree with music. His new video has the unique qualities that bring the very streets of living in San Jose. Chilling with the homies, as they say in South Africa, “On some next level shit.” Check out the gangs’ new video:

San Jose Biking Culture, A story Told

RIDEESSJ-Primera Noche 7/9/11 By: Jose “ Beans” Acevedo             Around 30 or so riders were met by a cool, simmering night as they geared up for the inaugural RIDEESSJ night ride; Primera Noche !
