New York City race video

[Sombeech]

This is a pretty wild video. I was puckering just watching it.

You will need high speed internet to see this, it is a very large file, about 7 minutes, but well worth the watch.


I'm not completely sure, but there may have been a little swearing in this. I'm not completely sure what the race is all about, or if there is a certain course, but I think they just have to get from A to B in rush hour traffic!

It was Tawny Kitaen. Who beat up her (baseball player) husband Chuck Finley a few years ago. She sure looks smoked in the mug shot.

That video is so cool, Now those boys now how to ride. There is no way I could keep up with them, I could speed wise but there is no way I could maneuver like that through those cars.

Wow, that is a sweet video , however, I will say, anybody who does anything like that on a regular basis is asking to be plastered to the front of a cab/bus.

I felt myself squeezing my shoulders in when he would ride in between those tight cars.

And how about those pedestrians? That could leave a mark also.

Same here, I thought they were gonna hit a couple times. Not to mention they were all running fixed gears, probably with no brakes either.

Really?

For some reason, I can't boot it up at home, but I know that at least some of the guys had fixed gears (you could see on one or two guys when their feet were off of the pedals). Those guys look like messengers, or just hardcore city cyclists, many whom swear by the bicycle messenger setup of fixed gears, and no brakes. I know several people here in San Diego that run that exact setup. Very unwise if you ask me. Try stopping with only your legs next time on a fixed gear bike, then if you can, try it on a hill!
