Bicycles lighting the night in Venice Beach

What happens when you apply thousands of LED lights to a bicycle? You fit right in with Venice, California locals.

Venice Beach, which served as a US hippy hub of the 1960s, is now seeing dozens of locals cruising its boardwalk late at night with brightly glowing rides.

The bicycle enthusiasts say they fit right in with the hundreds of performers, artists and musicians that already call Venice Beach home.

BBC Pop Up's Matt Danzico is off the road this month and exploring his new home in Southern California.
