"On top of that, Alley cats aren't technically illegal. Running a red light is. Riding with one or no brakes is. These things are done in broad daylight every day."
I'm fairly certain racing on public highways without conscent from the relavent authorities is illegal.
Having been a skater in the 80's and seeing that go main stream, I don't think fg/ss riders have too much to worry about; more decent bike shops with better stock of relavent parts.
