X-Men NYC

X-MEN NYC VIDEO

I don't know how to embed it!

oh it just embedded.... duh

Don't be a clown, don't be a clone....!

O, the facial hair and bandanas. Sweet.
(Makes that funny crossed-forearms x-sign-thingy across chest).

Very... special.

if you skitch on cars that much in London, you'd never get anywhere.

80mph MY ARSE

It's was posted here before but from a historic pov it's still really cool.

RPM
80mph MY ARSE

That's true actually (or somewhere near that mark). It's the speed record on Brooklyn bridge in a time before fixies.

fuck, really? how was this feat measured?

I don't imagine it would be easy to peek through the driver's window to watch the speedo going that fast!

[pedant] car speedos are notoriously bad for under reading, especially yank motors, it would have been nearer 65-70mph[/pedant]

cool, i'll hire a van, someone get some protective gear and we'll pull rpm along to 82mph around regents park!!

Find a big enough hill (nowhere near London) and you don't even need skitchin' to get that speed :)

"Handsome face" MY ARSE.

dogsballs cool, i'll hire a van, someone get some protective gear and we'll pull rpm along to 82mph around regents park!!

I did 115km an hour behind a van once on my cycling speedo. Catching the draft (van was being driven by my trainer though not some random driver)

But the NYC story is just one of those things. Don't know how true it is but it's a good story....:)

MPH not K

80 is fast, too fast for you

it's harder to get to 100km+ downhill then behind a car.

what do the stayer bikes get up to on the track?

about 45-50mph I reckon....on the bigger tracks..

right. i'm getting myself a full NFL costume for my richmond park rides

Well, when I was still doing races we would regularly train behind a big car or a van to get 'speed' in the legs. Sometimes we would push it to see how fast we could go. Max I ever did was 115km an hour. Mind you, I was only wearing a helmet and normal lycra shorts + t shirt.

But obviously we trained on quiet and long empty roads.

American speedos are in kmph so .... 80 = 50 mph

scott not scot That's from the 'need for speed' documentary.....some lovely fashion in that docu...:)

"Nerd for speed" more like it.
Skills may be l33t but the styles are rancid, I never looked that bad in the nineties.

Zippie American speedos are in kmph so .... 80 = 50 mph

I thought the US was all MPH?
