I can't imagine myself doing something like that. Those poor pedestrians too! Can you imagine sitting inside one of those cars stuck in traffic and seeing those cyclists zooming by! LOL Thanks Irulan

GOD! Riding in the city is fun!!

The Critical Mass I did there was similar, except think 1000 bikes and 5:00 traffic!

Yee-hah! :eek:

I used to watch the XMen, a motocross gear wearing grp of couriers... mad men every one!

Kinda scary to see those bike handling skills, isn't it? I like my country roads.

They are actually really good... really quick... but they do tend to piss people off.

There is an interesting book call The Immortal Class which is a memoir of a season as a bike messenger in Chicago.
