Hi forum
I'm a freelance journalist and shameless fakenger replete with Chrome bag and Bianchi Pista. I was thinking about pitching a story to Maxim on the Got the Knowledge Mate? alleycat, but wanted to check a couple of things to see if the feature'd work.. I need to pitch tomorrow morning so any replies would be greatly appreciated.
I want to go on a 'this is exciting, dangerous, crazy dash through the heart of london traffic' angle and then widen out to have a better look at fixie subculture in general. It'd also be great to get some shots of some bike porn hardcore fixies.
So here's my questions:
What's the legal position on alleycats?
How many racers should turn up?
Will there be good bike porn to photograph?
Is it just a race from A to B or are there tasks and stuff?
Thanks very much in advance
