For decades Whittier Blvd. has been world renowned for its low riding movement, from classic bombs cruising to oldies to modern day SUVs bumping hip-hop. Whittier has been a Mecca for the low rider movement. This urban art form is taught to our youngsters at an early age through the art of modifying low rider bikes.

Every Sunday the Elegants Bicycle Club gathers together and cruises up and down Whittier Blvd. With more than 20 members deep, the Elegants make their present felt ever time they hit the boulevard in unison. That's how we met up their bicycle club and decided to sponsor them with new shirts sleeved down our company's logos to represent the real with the real.
The Elegant Bicycle Club will be featured on a future Urban Latino TV episode.
