It has been on the internet for a couple of years, but I like watching it. It is 8 minutes long and makes me realize there are crazier riders than I. :D

Watching that I think I just had heart failure...................

My knees are weak.

I love the NYC Bike Race video! It gets me totally pumped to go out and ride, even though what I do is a yawn-fest compared to what they do. I love the part when the rider runs his hand along the length of the bus as he passes it.

Thanks for posting it. It's cloudy out this morning, so I needed some motivation :D

I liked the guy who grabbed hold of the car and shot way ahead.
I'd never DO that....but it was wild to watch.
...and interesting the guy on the fixie with his feet up on the frame and the pedals twirled wildly going down the bridge.
Whew!
Yeah....makes my rides seem like casual strolls through the park.

Yeah, I get a kick out of the guy with his feet up, too. Bike couriers and alleycatters are definitely a breed apart. I love watching the couriers in downtown DC. In a nerdy sort of way, they're my idols just as much as Floyd and Lance are.

Wow-I kept waiting for on of them to be hit by a car door. Make my rides look like leisurely strolls.

Kali, I think you can consider that an instructional video on what not to do while road riding ;)

Aawww, Nicole, does that mean I can't grab the back end of a pickup truck and have it pull me along Poolesville Road? Now, that would be the way to get up a hill... ;)

Be my guest, but *I* don't have the balls for that ;)

Ok, now I have just got to find the thread in which someone posted the link to the fake "balls" that you could hang from the bumper of a car...

And, heck, while I'm feeling so giddy, I may as well watch the NYC Bike Race video again :D
