There are few rules and no set race course in the dangerous bike races invented by bike messengers.

  • "They make the Tour de France look like a practice run" - Do you actually know anything about cycling?

    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.

  • @BikingBadwithTC
    It’s one thing to put their lives at risk doing what they love, completely unacceptable putting other people’s lives at risk doing it.
