Also the spirit of the race is that you use a fixed gear bike. Having non-pedal brakes and especially being able to freewheel makes it considerably easier.

This in no way "makes the Tour De France look like a practice run" - The Tour De France is on average 3500km...split in 20 days of cycling - Riders hit speeds of upwards of 120km/hr on very windy downhill narrow mountain road descents. Crashing can be fatal or career ending - It is considered probably the hardest sporting event ever created. Riders at the end of the Tour De France are so weak they lose muscle and even bone density. - Try riding up a mountain for 6 hours and do that on nearly 6 mountain stages of the Tour. Go to your local street with a hill and bike up that hill...see how tired you get after 1 minute of hill climbing on a bike. - Sprints in the Tour De France hit 70km/hr on a flat road; riders are literally centimeters away from each other going 70km/hr. Crashing and pileups are almost inevitable sometimes For the Tour De France to be considered a practice run, a couple dozen riders would need to pull out of the race before it even finishes...a lot of riders can't even finish the tour de france due to crashing out or just fatigue. And these guys are considered the elite of the elite in the cycling world and some still can't finish.
I stumbled upon this video because I'm into bike racing and realized that at 1:43 the photos of the 1980s bike race are from the same town which I'm currently a member of the bicycle race committee. The town is Haverhill, MA and the race will be August 18th, - Shoe City Pro Circuit.
African Warlord is that a question? Cuz ya they’re putting a lot of drivers in danger dogging in and out of traffic forcing them to stop or make dangerous maneuvers
@ all of you above you could call me a professional pedestrian a hobby triathlete and a regular german driver and from all 3 perspectives, the skill of you as a biker has nothing to do with the type of icidents that you are causing. even on a bike rekless driving endangers not only you, but everyone else that shares the road with you. if you are busting out of a sidestreet onto a main street without checking for anything, if you are disturbing traffic you are the cause of the incident, even tho from a law point of view cars are at foult, since the damage they cause is higher.
She is following a bike race, therefore not going at normal motorcycle speeds. She is also filming a video, so bike helmet lets you see her face as she talks. Obviously safer to wear a motorcycle helmet, but same could be said for the cyclists, and the safest thing to do is to not break all these laws in the first place.
Bike helmet is better for visibility to see her face as she is reporting. Motorcycle helmets covers too much and less comfortable and ruins her hair. They also probably don't have an extra motorcycle helmet available. Bike helmets are more common and cheaper and more available at a moment's notice. It's Mexico so the rules are more laxer.
I'm a hardcore biker myself, the amount of concentration and adrenaline is huge. It plays a big roll in what you do but believe me not every biker is as hardcore like this.
its the truth, over here in berlin 9 cyclist have been killed this year. And almost all of them were over 60 years old, complying with the traffic law.. so most of the incidents happen by ignorant drivers. Thats how it is
emilianhrx No, this is illegal cycling races. If he was following the law he had nothing to do with that percentage. It's death from illegal bike races.
This reminds me of all the times that I've been riding solo and took extremely risky manuvers (sp) and later thought back about how stupid and dangerous it was.
No issues with cyclist just jerks idiot cyclist we have a problem with. We love cyclists we follow the rules as they help relieve traffic jams and helps with parking. We have problems with cyclist who put other lives at risk for a sake of a cheap thrill unnecessarily. By running red lights and making other with green lights stop for them. Same goes for many motorcyclist, scooters, skateboarders. Anyone who doesn't respect the rule of law and puts others at risk and think the laws don't apply to them. No regards for life and respect of other's space and safety. That is what we are against. How many wheels you have we don't give a shit. Same goes for DUI drivers who don't' care about other people. Maybe we would care about you if you start caring about others first. You want us to care about you when you don't give two f***s about other's safety. We could care less what mode of transporting you choose. It is your lack of concern for safety and life that we have a problem with.
corrupted brand that basically is seen on every shitty ads, so why not give it break one time. fuck Gopro those tiny box is no match for sony camcorders. they are in business for long time
George Windsor you know what gives cyclists a bad name, fuckers that ride in the middle of the road going 10mph, i highly doubt any driver would care about cyclists if they were going as fast as them....
They give a good name for us, because no one cares about cycling, so this happens when there are no cycling roads for cyclist. If they want to see a lot of deaths, they know what to not do. Don't wait, and start doing the lanes!
In Russia no cyclist will come to finish ) the cars are driven so fast, that no bicycle can pass on red light alive. Also if you drive into an open door, after you fell of the bike, the car owner will come and kick you if you will not be able to run away ) Anyway I think this race is very crazy.
As a cyclist who often has to deal with angry drivers that put my life at risk, this kind of thing really pisses me off. The more bicyclists like these anger drivers, the more it puts my safety at risk.
"Make Tour de France look like practice run" The things these news rats say to get attention. These posers wouldn't survive a day in Tour. And these guys give proper cyclists a bad name. I wish there was some sort of strict regulation for bikes so that these hipsters stop doing this.
bloodsord9 Not really, tour de France and allycat races are like two different types of races. Its like comparing drifting to drag racing. And lighten the hell up man, who cares if they are going fast etc, the only person that will get hurt is themselves, so why do you even care? the only people that get pissed off with them are people that are too scared to do it themselves so they feel the need to make it illegal so they don't look as cowardly.
HighestRatedPlayer Because they give cyclists a bad name. And they also put the pedestrians and motorists in danger. Pedestrians don't wear helmets. If they get hit by a car it can end in grief for them as well as lawsuits, major bills and other problems for vehicle owners. It's not about being fearless. There are plenty of places to do it where the rider will be the only person being hurt if they make a mistake.
bloodsord9 Yeah i'm sure a motorist is going to get hurt if a light weight bike hits into their car.... And pedestrians should be looking around when crossing a road. The only time pedestrians get hit is when they walk across a traffic filled road at a non crossing. And if you want to play the pedestrian safety card, then why not just ban cars from using the roads aswell? since they are the biggest danger to pedestrians. You clearly know little to nothing about allycat racing so please shut the hell up. I've taken part in unoffical allycat races (not the redbull ones) And I've never seen anyone hurt another person apart from theirself (which was extremely rare) and was only because they had never rode a fixie before, but thought they would be able to allycat fine.
HighestRatedPlayer These guys go on red light through pedestrians. Are you serious or are you just stupid? If you read my comment you would know that I was talking about financial and legal losses for motorists. You are a typical example of why everyone, including cyclists hate the fixie hipsters
+Peter Kapica I guess, because it's not just that there is a lot of traffic, it's because the traffic is a mess. usually, tourists who go there have to hire a driver, because it's too dangereous to drive there.

The guy with the cameras has more angels then a octagon!!
I guarantee you none of these people could come close to finishing the tour de france
Wow. Such hardcore. Much lycra. Many rebellious. Very danger.
U guys are Heros for me i drive like crazy myself but u Guys are Nuts may God Bless u !
Disqualified for not taking a selfie? I'm done with this race.
this is how i cycle when i deliver food in london
On that deliveroo 😎😎
Wow… the producers obviously don't know what the Tour de France is or how it works.
Triggered much
BIG DEAL!! Cycle couriers have been doing this for 30 years.
Any collisions occur during this race?
I'm a biker myself but this is unreasonable! They break a lot of traffic rules and make the roads unsafe for others.
@4:00 even horses are getting in on the action. LOL
4:58 the ultimate bike rider holding up a whole highway
I remember doing this sorta thing with my mates about 40 years ago....nothing new here.
1:09 original poco loco???
"They make tour de france look like a practice run" ok boomer
That doesnt qualify for an "ok boomer"...
Say something you normie
I've ridden numerous organized events... I've visited Mexico City five times.... And I would never ride my bike or drive in the city. I drive trucks for a living in Vancouver and when I arrive in Mexico City my girlfriend, who lives in the city... Does all of the city driving. This chaotic race gives cyclists a bad reputation. If I saw one of these riders pass me... You'll be on the receiving end of a football tackle.
Is that Mexico city or New York ?
Gives a bad name to cyclists
"Just avoiding some potholes, you know it's Mexico" 1:35
Shut up dude, like there's no potholes in America.
Rev limits did you get this video in the explore thing on UA-cam too
R.i.P Acura TLX front right axle....2013-2017...That was a sad day for my wallet
i roll every day ...goin north on western crossin santa monica bl in Los angeles CA it's worst than mexico ... been shitty roads for years and the damn city show no attention !
Arash Seif Mexico FuckN suck that’s why there trying to cross illegally. Fuck you as well. GBA 🇺🇸
Arash Seif well, he was right. It's México
*This look like NYC bike messengers, now a movie is on its way*
Irresponsible on so many levels....poor journalism. ABC news should fire you.
Men I fvcking love this cycling. It's completely dope💪🤑
These cyclists give a bad repute to the sport of cycling. Prime example of a self-centered attitude. Selfish.
We need this race in Colorado Springs, no trails allowed.
All those guys would fucking break down crying after 10 minutes in the Tour de France
Giving all cyclists a bad name. Breaking all the rules of the road. Have respect and you will gain respect.
There is no road rule in mexico you dipshit
Simon WoodburyForget I am a cyclist. And a lot of cyclists are idiots.
We don't care, you knight on a bike. Go fix your gears.
So in a straight line race all these guys would lose to a real cycling pro.
Idk... Mostly of the people that compete seriously in AlleyCats are "real cycling pro". I have completed against the national cycling champion in this type of race, and I'm pretty sure he ain't a amateur cyclist
this seems so fun but i would never do it in race form because then someone would get hurt
Somebody give this mad lad a gfuel. Going in for the interview I was look what a show off. But then he freaking hops over a pot hole like that haha wow
Tell me how the 2,200 mile Tour De France seems like a practice compared to a ride across Mexico City?
Didn't think that through, did you?
PSS we do this every day doing bicycle delivery for Jimmy johns
+Smileyfacedkiller Jimmy Johns has bicycle delivery?
+Wild Outdoor Living in certain cities and parts of the city. in Columbus Ohio, we have bike delivery downtown , arena district and in the locations on campus
Where can I find his video?
One of the best news reports I've seen. Gave alot of kudos I appreciate that 🙏
Lol!! I love what the guy said - "99.9% of the accident is not caused by us!!
They are riding in the opposite direction of the traffic, ignoring the traffic lights and hitching a ride by holding on to a vehicle!
99.9% of the accidents are not made by us... were just driving with double the normal speed trought tight spaces and hundrets of cars... wtf^^
Is it in france or mexico??
They should make a movie about this. Sounds like it would be exciting.
My daily routine actually, Everyday from M.A de Quevedo to CU through Insurgentes at 7am in a fixie bike.
Es mejor para mi que haya trafico, significa que los autos estan parados y que no me van a pasar a traer.
no, pero me robaron mi bici hace 2 meses.
Arturo Rincon de perisur a bellas artes y de regreso en horas pico 3 veces a la semana. Organicemos una carrera! :D
Thats a 2km ride.
Que no te quedaba mejor eje 10?
0:45 He is clearly pulling out that cars bumper out , prety much destroying it . Even I am a cyclist, do that to my car, I will the brakes , stop and kick your ass lmao. This is not a real race, this is a competition ''who's the biggest cheater and A- holle ''
relax bro ..the bumper is plastic...itll bend right back
if your bumper pops out like that it's already broken dude...
@@TheMegaspenny relax bro, the bones are collagen, it'll heal right back
you drive a pos car then
I saw that lol he tore it out
He should pay for repairs
4:44 lol that camera on the helmet!. A gopro would have been nice xD
How far action cameras have come better than strapping an old video camera to a head technology but awesome video
