- I don't think that the bike dance troops are really relevant to this article, however they should be in some article or an article of their own. Popular culture in this context is generally assumed to be culture with a much broader reach, often through mass media. Bike dance troops are awesome, but as far as I know have a more niche audience. --GarySe7en 20:48, 21 May 2008 (PDT)
- I agree. SPOOK 20:56, 21 May 2008 (PDT)

- Realistically, I agree with Spook and E-stop, and Gary, but not with Spook. Alex 23:12, 21 May 2008 (PDT)
- The definition of "popular culture" as mainstream culture (or culture with a "broad reach") isn't the only accepted one. By that definition, you would have to get rid of most of the entries under "Bike Music." Percival Cornelius 13:31, 27 May 2008 (PDT)
- What about defining pop culture for the purposes of this article as culture with substantial reach outside of a specifically bike oriented culture, or something like that? I think that's fair - since things like the VeloVixens don't really reach outside of the bike culture, but the songs listed do. Otherwise, if we don't make some delineation, this article may as list every page in the wiki. Alex 15:48, 27 May 2008 (PDT)
- Like Alex T said, I feel that this article is mainly relating to cultural elements which exist outside of the bike scene but still relate to bikes. E-rock
- Fair enough. Percival Cornelius 03:07, 1 June 2008 (PDT)
