How to Ride a Bike Like Keanu Reeves

Keanu Reeves is often described by celebrity journalists as "inscrutable" and "unknowable." Despite this, there is one thing Reeves is willing to share with the world—his love for motorcycles. More than just an average biker, Keanu Reeves is a born-wild rider.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Make bike riding your primary mode of transport, as Reeves did until studio executives convinced him to buy a car (he bought a Porsche Carrera 4, the closest thing on four wheels to a motorcycle, according to the "Matrix" star). Reeves also rides motorcycles as one of his greatest passions, making bike riding one of the central aspects of his off-screen life.

  2. Step 2

    Ride like a daredevil as Keanu Reeves loves to do (and talk about doing) by riding down windy roads at night with his headlights off, something he refers to as a "demon ride." Take the bike to the freeways, as Keanu does, for some high-speed riding, preferably with a beautiful man or woman holding on tight from behind.

  3. Step 3

    Invest in quality but idiosyncratic bikes, such as Reeves' much-beloved Motto Guzzi and Harley Davidson motorcycles. Reeves also goes back a few decades by riding bikes like his favorite British 1974 Norton Commando. If you like your Commando, do as Keanu did and buy another Norton of a different vintage to get the feel for a new bike.

  4. Step 4

    Walk away from bike accidents as Reeves has done on multiple occasions such as a 1998 motorcycle crash that left him without a spleen. More importantly than this, however, is to keep on riding bikes no matter what the risk or previous injury, so you can be the kind of wild, demon-riding, motorcycle lover that Keanu Reeves is.
