[yanmaka]

いったい何がしたいねん？（笑）

[Estrodile]

Lucas Brunelle! I haven't seen this video in years.

[Gachain]

Great Seat of Your Pants footage!

[weezyheezy]

what an awful buttrock song

[CzechDetectingChap]

@weezyheezy do better or shut the fuck up

[weezyheezy]

as usual, sped up to at least 1.2

[1Giannis2]

can some1 tell me how it calls the song? ty and very nice video .. keep it up!!!

[FTWplanking]

Holy shit! the dude on the red fixed was bombing! :O

[astrosntexans]

listend to "Timestretch" by Bassnectar while watching this one. epic

[562tamez]

thats week i do that all day on a fixie pussy

[SKYsTHeLiMiTuKNo]

@562tamez all the way across the city in under 15 minutes? please, unless you're a bike messenger with some experience, dont talk shit about real bike messengers. and it's not a fixie, it's a fixed-gear. i ride one but dont talk shit about any rider. it's called respect.

[klubbansmakarkuk]

@SKYsTHeLiMiTuKNo

"it's not a fixie, it's a fixed-gear."

Errrr, what?

[orengard2]

what is ur averange speed?

[Chris050493]

@orengard2 Looks to me as though it's about 20-25mph and 30-35mph on some parts, namely the truck, sprints and downhills. Maybe more for the truck, not sure

[ideasoner]

1:00 to 1:05 ...gnarlyyy!!

[tkgil]

Love that 1:05

[90JohnDoe]

Messengers for sure.

[CycleMan2200]

This kind of riding is gonna get one of them guy's killed someday. I mean, running through lights, cutting people off, nearly hitting pedestrians, running stop signs. It's amazing they all are still riding.

[ideasoner]

@CycleMan2200 party pooper

[CycleMan2200]

@ideasoner Better that than laying paralyzed in the hospital, or buried in the cemetery.

[ideasoner]

@CycleMan2200 they look like they are in control to me, its a race anyway, its a one off, they don't always ride like this

[CycleMan2200]

@ideasoner Yeah their in control, until a taxi driver smashes their skull into the pavement. I don't think he is in control.

[jonnierogers42]

1 guy was riding free wheel

[ave2timeslip]

As a cyclist I say this is plain stupid.

No wonder many people hate every cyclist.

[sourj234]

San Francisco is a great place. But seeing these bikers make it better

[ardenro]

I'd love to ride through there !

[crazymansf]

I fucking hate bikers that cut me off. they are just trying to kill themselves

[ideasoner]

@crazymansf no they don't, they want to live, they live a lot more riding past you than you do sat in your car

[JPnetherlands]

Visited SF but didn't bring my bike. Big mistake.

Greetings from Holland!

[Demosthenes409]

lol how long did u guys ride

[unclechipper]

A great street to ride was Gough street.From the top going south all the traffic lights were timed so that you could bomb down hill and catching substantial air where the street would level off at intersections.They were launching pads.

[vinWo316]

damn i love the feeling of blazing threw traffic in san friskie, there is no other feeling like it in the world!

from the finacial distric to the mission district blazing threw market street is the greatest feeling

[AeroChrisMartin]

and they said helmets weren't cool

[twenty2082]

thats not a race,thats evreyday riding

[pipinoeljoven]

Me parece una sana costumbre esa de meteros entre los coches con las bicicletas. Vais a vivir muchos años más. [/ironic]

[liuwenjie6678]

2:19 I saw a mountain hanging behind a car,do you roadbikers hate mtb?

I never ride a roadbike...XD

[martymcflyca]

Amazing that in all these videos...no one gets packed by a car. But that's a good thing!

[markandrach]

fantastic,well done lads.looks FUN

[ideasoner]

better than POV porn, haha!

[meinshnake]

so fast downhill! I guess it is the one city almost free of fixies, impossible to be able to climb up and spin down the hills in one gear

[ideasoner]

@meinshnake be suprised at what we can do...

[123seal]

1:28 she should have stayed in the kitchen.

[AyeBrian]

what was their average speed

[metrosk8tr]

crazy mofos

[Clodulf]

Des roillés ! Des cinglés ! Des têtes brulées! Ils jouent avec la mort ! Ils sont entre ce monde et celui d'à côté ! Ils sont suicidaires !

They are crazy !

[tenchufreak]

be funny if someone just opened there door and on of you flipped and he was like FUCK FIXIES :D

[ideasoner]

@tenchufreak fuck you.

[mjames76]

gotta say I was hoping for a crash.

[Darthprivate12]

I know that tunnel. Its near china town.

[grubgrob]

how wide are those lanes... and they have big cars too....

[ongne1234]

hate riders with single speed and acted like that is a fixed gear!!!

[KinoFilm21]

super awesome !!!! but i wonder, are there any accidents during this type of runs?

[sanjosebikeblog]

bommin' those hills...rad..

[sphinxrising58]

You call this a race ?

My girlfriend goes faster than this just cruising, lol

[imnotaballer]

@sphinxrising58 aha ok you're cool. have you ever raced in the city?

[sphinxrising58]

@imnotaballer Yes, and most likely way before you was even thought of.

Kids nowdays think they invented everything, lol

BTW, what you call racing, that is about my usual cruising speed, lol

[imnotaballer]

@sphinxrising58 trust me, im pretty sure what i call racing is more than your cruising speed seeing as i run a 51/14 ratio.

[sphinxrising58]

@imnotaballer I have 21 speeds & over 30 years of riding esperience that says your ratios mean diddly, as it is not the bike so much as the person riding on it that matters, laughs.

[LoveLikeLuxury]

hella killed it with the music

[XghostriderrX]

LOL! where are the up hills scene

[xhappyxscreamingx]

way to hit the guys rearview mirror at 1:04. what a dumbass these are just one of the reasons why motorists hate cyclists. yes i ride i'm just more sensible

[KrunchyJD]

@xhappyxscreamingx Agree to a point, but the cars driving in the bike lane, is why cyclists hate motorists.

[yinyangsf]

THESE DUDS ARE AWESOME!!!

GREAT VIDEO!!!

[thischannelisincompl]

You guys are weary of life.

[neilmandude]

they should make a movie with these bikes messengers. it would far surpass Macaframa and MASH.

[CosmosFever]

This is the kind of stupid-ass stuff that motorists hate bicyclists for... this is the kind of stupid-ass stuff that makes bicycling better than driving! Biking's a helluva drug.

[PO146]

ESTOS MAE ANDAN CM LOCOS EN LA CALLE Q BIEN

[richardrockssss]

i like the tunnel part. its like you guys are biking to a bright, harmonic place, and have to work hard to get to it (cause it's uphill)

but then you just end up in an normal sf street hahaah. still nice :)

[LittoBUbbo]

im freaking glad I got a bike with brakes

[gtr3cords]

i almost got hit by a bus doing this in downtown LA lol

[HeadMan12345]

san fran would be hard going up thos hills

[robotrock909]

@HeadMan12345 You have no idea....and don't forget going down the other side when you're on your brakeless fixiewhip!

[HeadMan12345]

@robotrock909

i dont think any smart san francisco biker wouldnt have brakes on their bike xD

[chumbscrubber42]

looks like fun

[123BeNy456]

what is the name f this song

[tjmayfly]

fucking awesome!

gives me goosebumps!

makes me wanna grap my bike and go weaving!

[johngorgis]

not fixies but still intense

[fisherxoxo]

That looks super dangerous - yet, it must feel fucking awesome to weave through heavy traffic that fast! Almost as fun as bombing those hills on a skateboard!

[dozorcakrypty]

If You ever taste this freedom you will want more and more, great feeling. I'm addicted

[xpNoYx]

NOW THIS IS EPIC.

[woodpusher662]

fuck that was exhilerating to watch.

[bishopdante]

@woodpusher662

speeded up by 1.5 maybe even 2x nitro.

[cryoes]

@woodpusher662

Makes you wanna ride your bike eh

[Antiseptikum1]

...@ oetamFCTC

[maxcor3]

1:06 lol i think he broke a mirror

[xxbondsxx]

seriously i saw it flash. no way he fit his shoulders through that

[toxicated01]

i really thought that too, but if you observe closely, its the sun's reflection off the mirror (the sun is on the right side in the video at taht time). the only reason its so visible is because the side mirrors on cars are convex mirrors, which make things appear closer than normal. i know its kind of hard to reason, but just take note that even if he did hit the mirror, he didnt even flinch. an impact at the speed hes going would definitely hurt :\

[robseven7]

@xxbondsxx Looks like he hits it to me too. Balls of fuckin steel ridin through that at that speed either way!

[Antiseptikum1]

Great work! looks like good fun...

tryin to to start stuff like that in Austria, could you tell me which song you used for the clip, cause it fits perfect for a bikerace !

ride on guys

[oetamFCTC]

yes! I would like to do the same in Quito. it's definately Def Leppard, try to pick the song from the lyrics

[Antiseptikum1]

Thank you for the answer, Good Luck in Quito! got a myspace site too?

wish you a good new year in fwd :)

[oetamFCTC]

thanks! a good year to you too. got no myspace

-the song is run riot

[MrZatochka]

умеют типы кататься )))

[darksova12]

Велеры вообще смотрю без башни ))

[ldw100]

1:21 fuck yea mustage

[tankak47]

most sf messengers rock a geared bike cause of the crazy ass hills but fixies arent all that uncommon either.

[moe354sa]

check out deese toe-clips 'fixed gear realms ep. 1"

[decamerondix]

wow that's pretty cool-going through the red light seems kinda dangerous but shows that biking can be a good alternative once traffic reaches a certain level

[11grandma11]

you guys bad traffic should gett ticket for helmets?

[xpo147]

helmets are only require by law for teens in CA i think :/

[HenryLBrugby7]

yeah once your 18 you dont weed one. its like super laxed though like if you look older than 10 and a cop sees you your pretty much good

[xpo147]

@HenryLbrugby7 --I wear one just to make sure the EMT has something to scoop my brain up with, lol

[xxbondsxx]

haha seriously i wear a helmet too. breaking bones is ok, getting permanent brain damage = not so much

[xpo147]

@xxbondsxx I have a sticker inside my helmet that has my full name, blood type, & contact info for my family. Good thing I'm not allergic to many things

[anominous838383]

prosecute shmosecute, rode that way every day for 8 yrs with only 2 tickets, messengers keep the wheels of industry turning. ok, only rode hard like that for maybe an hour a day at most but still this is nice flashback video.

[vneckkids]

Awesome video! I love the girl who jumps out of the way @ 1:32

[aznlilhero]

whoa nice. love how you held on to the truck to take the lead hahaha

[rookie66]

LOL 0:56 *Looks to the right8 "Yo WTF!? that guy is off!!! Let me try draft behind him!"

lol

[instanium]

Just wondering if some of the messengers were running single speed. Either a few parts of it was them locking their legs while sitting on the seat or they were coasting... but i'm unsure. Anyone want to verify? :)

[imnotaballer]

no, no messengers run single speed, either fixed or road bikes that it

[hardcoremofo]

i want to see them going up hill ;)

[xpo147]

lol, it'd be slow. i've seen fixie riders push thier bikes uphill

[eamonnca1]

You think it's funny that a girl almost got killed? I have a good mind to send this vid to the SFPD.

[woody12i2]

stop being an internet troll, pussy

[WRBfF]

But dude, even if you did you dont have a good look @ their faces, and seeing all the riders in SF there would be no way to persecute them

[vulpalasar]

Or even prosecute them.

[eamonnca1]

I'm not being an ass, but if you really want to race, why not race in an actual race with a USAC license in a proper environment where there's less chance of you killing some innocent pedestrian? Anyone could outrun cars in traffic. I'm a competitive cyclist and I love riding in traffic, but some stuff in this vid makes me feel very uneasy. I swear I saw you running red lights, I just hope that natural selection takes you out of the gene pool before some poor kid gets killed by you.

[likestoride93]

was this a straight up allycat because the ones that i go to the rules are that everyone can ride but only fixed can get placed. maybe its just the ones that i go to but i dunno

[aclohesy]

I love this video! Really got into it, too - I was leaning with the cyclist round the corners, and ended up guessing which way he'd go! I even saw the pick-up and thought "Now I'd be tempted to grab hold of that about now..." :) Thanks!

[xpo147]

I love this video so much and I trick my friends telling the its me! hahaha, but the credits gives it away!

I cant wait for more! post MORE!!

[janeparton]

4:11 brilliant! did you speed up the film or were you guys actually going that fast?

[medusiform]

the moment when he grabs the truck cab on market st. is awesome!!!

[hypnos2010]

not seen this vid in like a year the song brings back great memories thanks for the upload

[alheimnj]

cool, but not all of them are riding track bikes. which makes it a bit less impressive.

[Shinyahujii]

whoz song?

[AngryLeftist]

One opened car door could ruin your day....

[xpo147]

but it's not our fault! w00t!!

[langbay2005]

he held on to the pick up! cheater!

[vulpalasar]

Impewssive footage ... wish I could see it at the speed it was filmed. It's obviously speeded up.

[mybikeisnamedtrogdor]

if it is sped up then why are the cars going at normal in-city speeds?

[gvingua]

i agree, nothing is sped-up since every scene is almost all downhill.

[poorandimmature]

only the boring part where they're doing the uphill climb in the tunnel is sped up, the rest is as is.. Lucas Brunelle doesn't need to speed up his videos when they're this exciting!

[rockeravril]

amazing... i'm speachless ... wow

[xdr5xdrf]

Some of the footage is obviously speeded up

[lildre996]

dude awsome and 1 question do you ever run into the cops?

[barbixy]

riding in traffic like this...great skill, good job! scares the crap out of me trying to ride in traffic, I can do it, but its not the most relaxing riding, cause motorists are...clueless for the most part

[dabincho]

nice video im a biker too and run so faster its so cool

[jmoseph767]

that's so cool!  you go so fast

to bad there are only one or two where i live

[bradbond1119]

with gas prices, ill be doing some of this this summer, but no where near that fast.

[ahda81]

that;s freaking fast

[maercin]

sooooo cool! greetings from polish bikers! yeeeaaah!

[maskedban]

1:00 very fuckin nice

[jmoseph767]

great job, too bad internet is taking the business

[sosuamaukar]

no worries... there is always companies out there who appreciates messengers and the interpersonal feeling it brings.

[willr91]

the song sux ass...

[therther606]

I rode in that tunnel!

[waneklrotor]

how fast are these guys going?

[Fatkaty]

Sweet vid. Videos like this with my bike five feet away make finishing college difficult..

[hud101]

how many mirrors did you brake? :D

[utternonsense1983]

Yeah! cool dudes

[imsgoalie]

The guy riding his fixie through the tunnel: One part machine, three parts beast. Dude was pedaling his ass off.

[mallek69]

was it fixed?? i saw him stop pedeling a few times i thought??. sick vid though

[Jayskrilla1232]

sped up most of the video?

[tomatoketchup50]

Does anyone know what song this is ?

Bike messenger = Best job EVER

[i1024]

Def Leppard - Run Riot

[crihsshirc]

what race was this and who filmed ?

[Mikuz]

YOu guys are fuckin nuts

i live in SF also and I almost run over bikers like you at least 3 times a week

[misvideosaqui]

yeaaah!!! I love going that fast ever! Bicicle is faster than cars on streets!, I always get first on my bike than people on bus or car!!! THIS IS REAL SPEED (for the one who said is not) I do it TOO!!! COOL

[jlbrads]

idiots.

[Piersv]

You americans are crazy!! can't wait to visit your country though!

[lilbangbang88]

stop coasting : )

[2020fo]

Bike messaging is one of the coolest life styles/jobs ever. I plan on being one after I'm done with rode and mountain bike races.

[Lightning757]

why dont you show it in real speed your ass would be dead going that fast in the City!

[speeddemon0117]

Awesome song and an awesome video! Makes me wish there wa a market for bike messengers in my home town.

[alPachino85]

You guys are crazy, f***ing great video, I love it

[pasqualified]

reminds me of my daily life :) so much fun.

[caiden915x]

amazing you guys do this all the time?

[boogiechillen123]

Great video! Being from the Bay Area, I wish I could ride like this. Can you tell me what the prize was? I couldnt see racing like this if the prize wasnt good. Thanks.

[nicktamaman]

F**k, this is great...makes me want to do the same in montreal...

[EconThought]

Awsome!!
