Seriously this has to be VOD.LIke about 5 times they were inches away from being crushed between cars, they were dodging people and other bikers, and at full speed.That was so intense.

Thats so neat, Drivers in my city would just run you over if you made them slow down.

I bet they saved $50 in gas in that 10 min bike ride.

Holy mother of god!!! 1. ripping by the cops at the cross walks 2. coming inches from smoking people doing 40km/h on your road bike 3. coming inches from getting run over by cars... And I thought downhill racing was intense lol looks like I need to try this!

I think this would be sick with downhill bikes and really short bars, it would be more comfortable and if you hit anyone chances are your bike would be less damaged than a roadbike, fuk the pedestrians they are infutile and useless! VOD VOD VOD!!!!

of course, the 10 inches of travel and the 2.5 inch tire would be so much faster than a fully rigid bike with road tires...

If you crash you would probably be more worried about your own body getting wrecked. As for the manholes and bumps, they don't really have to worry about it with their technical skills, they can easily maneuver around them.

You would not want DH bikes with this - bars are too wide - tires are too thick - DOWNHILL = DOWNHILL not streets - and these guys are awesome - showing the rest of the lazy asses in New York how to get around - BIKE REVOLUTION

When riding in the city, you have to worry mostly about yellow cabs, cause they drive like maniacs and they don't care about anyone else. I like hanging onto buses and get speed like that. Manholes and bumps are not really a problem, it's those big metal plates and the white paint on crosswalk, because when they're a little bit wet, they get really slippery.

pff a downhill bike would be shit for this...but..I think a XC bike could be better for this with slicks or semi-slick tires and a rigid or 80mm fork.. because the seating possition gives u more control( but if ur not human like the guys in the video it doesnt matter) and if u fit disk brakes or even good V-brakes it will brake so much better and its easier to get to the brake levers and to stop more quickly.
