Mad riding in NY...

bloody hell, I sat through that swearing every other second. I knew alleycats were crazy and that, but some of that riding was just unbelievable -- the gaps! The peds! the abuse!

Chapeau, crazy person.

have sweaty palms from watching that

I hate those Lucas Brunelle videos. The ones shown at BFF urban shorts were just fucking stupid. Fucking stressful, yet boring. Shite like most of the US films in that screening except Made in Queens - boring oh-so-earnest oooh look at me I ride a bike, wow big deal. Mostly the other films had humour, and CONTENT and were brilliant, like the polo ones and the stupid bird one, and actually the scraper film was good too). Even the tricks videos were entertaining next to the alleycat ones.

Alleycats are for smellytwats. Oooh look I can go fast. Hi fucking five. Bollocks to that. You're a prick for going fast, there. Go fast on a track. Go fast on a TT, or in a crit or whaetver. Not across zebras and against traffic.

My 2 guineas.

god he rides like a lady with half a leg through a pretty park cycle path on a nice summers morning, drinking a latte and listening to radio 4.
what a gay bike, it's like.. gay

Skully for world president!

(BTW i love alley cats for the record - they are a massive buzz)

Well, I was going to invite you to my alleycat themed birthday party, but if that's how you feel, then no cake for you.

I was even going to let you dress up as a traffic light.

Heheh

Happy birthday if i miss it / am not really invited.

I did think some of the near misses would have elicited blind rage from me had it been me or my wife who had been the near missee. At the end of that video a guy chucks something at the riders, looks like a sandwich or something. I dunno what your chances of avoiding accidents would be if you rode everywhere like that.

OT, anyone had any probs with old bill / racing on the highway in relation to alley cats??

Not really, your still invited. And it's not really alley cat themed. I'll make an annoucement about it in december, but it's the same as last year.

Nattacats are different. I just hate all that macho I WIN bullshit.

You have blatently never seen me win before ;-)

No, it's a pizza party. I do the same thing every year, one big bring a topping pizza party. The catch is that it's boxing day.

I have met my polar opposite. I went to urban shorts to see Lucas and found the Queens video hilarious. I was interested in the polo one but it could have been much better. Scraper bikes was just a bunch of kids slapping breakfast cereal labels onto their bikes...
