damn that would be a beautiful ride.

I always wanted to ride through the mountains when i was close to Mt. ranier national park.

No, fortunately i did not. It was a fairly shallow slope on the leeward side of the hill. Very awkward stop though. I had 5 skid pads on the tire and was able to seize the wheel a few times times, but eventually fish tailed on the last skid and then hit the front brake as a last ditch effort.

The driver ignored the bike lane and was looking to squeeze past a line of cars get into the right turn lane, but didn't make it.

Cool video, he's pretty awesome for being able to do that, but I think roadies be laughing. I certainly would as I spun in a comfortable gear past him.

Roadies don't like to have fun on bikes. They only like to spin efficiently.

That's why I don't consider myself one, despite my unsightly spandex and riding on roads.

another epic fixed gear ride documented on film.

It must all be documented. We are changing the face of cycling as we know it. WE MUST DUE EET

musicians duet better.

Fixed.
Ha! "Fixed", get it?

No, I don't get it.

I don't get it either. Where I live has a huge roadie population and none of them actually enjoy riding their bikes.

Well at least they actually ride their bikes, unlike all of us here.

Oh yeah. True.

I get it.

Anywho, i thought it was a pretty neat video. A little boring yes, but i'm not hating myself for spending the time to watch it. Thanks for sharing.

I should elaborate: I did get it, I just thought it wasn't funny.

This, however, is awesome.

Like the vid lots, hairnet! Thanks for bringing it over. Hope I can recall the feeling on tonight's sprints.

Thanks for a most brilliant signature, cc! It's a prototype of a black carbon concept not in production yet.

A complete FAIL ...

What an annoying video.

Probably you surveyed them all, huh?

Props to that guy. Quite a feat...doubt I could do it.

@Scrod--I don't think you can say that about roadies. True, some of them are just in it for the competition or the fitness and don't actually enjoy it, but plenty do. I myself love riding bikes and am what some might consider a roadie.

There are also those times where I'm trying to suppress insecurity/self-doubt/depression by sprinting up hills until I'm so out of breath that I feel like I'm drowning, but those are becoming increasingly rare.

But w/e, I can only speak for myself. I'll always love laying down mile after mile at 21+ mph on a bike designed to maximize efficiency and extend the reach of what's possible for me to do with my body.

Do all fixie riders think roadies don't enjoy riding their bicycles? What line of logic lead you to believe that?

THIS IS BOOOORING...i am switching to porn.

That's a great example of the English language.

I work in a shop that services their bikes and caters to their silly whims (and tantrums) on a daily basis. It seems to be all about bull**** "competition" to them and pretending to be some kind of athlete.

BTW - I was being mildly sarcastic and perhaps it seems I was generalizing a bit too much. I wasn't speaking of all roadies everywhere. If you read my post again, you'll see that I was only speaking of the weekend warriors around here - middle-aged chubby dudes on full carbon bikes that look down their noses on anyone who isn't decked out in a $500 leotard.

This is where you walk around their training grounds (MUP) and yell "IM FASTER THAN YOU"

observe reactions and take note

Wait...are you joking?
