bike messenger races

[Ben M]

I saw this on another forum that I frequent. The sheer madness, selfishness and lack of respect for anything is huge.

Yes, seen that one before... I believe they're called 'dickheads' in the less polite circles.

They do a bit of that in Manchester - Alleycat races...not seen one yet though.... all the fixie/messenger crowd.

I want to see the one where somebody yanks one off a bike and beats him to a bloody pulp.

Much riding like that and you can start to see why black cabs may feel negatively towards cyclists.

yes seen that, good stuff

That vid starts off OK when one can't even make it out the Car Park without falling off.

You've come across a Lucas Brunelle production - the rest are at http://digave.com

Never seen that in eighteen years of driving a cab in London. If I did I would probably shrug my shoulders. I take a rather more sanguine view of such nonsense after almost going head on with a double decker London bus, driving at high speed, the wrong way along one way system some years ago!

Just search 'Lucas Brunelle' on youtube, also, 'itsdayv' is another one with some good videos on, only a few bike messenger races, he has videos on of his normal days at work though.
London calling is what the part of that london bike race is, there was one in 2008, the guy with the youtube name 'itsdayv' has videos on his youtube thing of it.
Stop complaining about them the ones who do, look at that skill, and relax, they are good to watch.
No im not a fakenger

Oo, it'd be like being a driver for a day.
