firstof all the landscape in ottawa is great, u dont see anything in this vid. second.its ottawa and gat the hill cross into ottawa, and biking around ottawa, ot and gat third, its fixed gear not changes. less parts to take care of on a daily basis+lighter, grabbing onto vehicles and drafting bigger saves energy if your trying to make time or bike all day, you get good at it,

[LolaFloresyOLE]

Sorry, my english is so poor. As I see your bikes doesnt have brakes and gears. Right, you make the bike lighter but how can you stop the bike?? Thanks!

[foetusmusic]

The bikes are fixed gear, which means there is no coasting, ie if you pedal forwards you go forwards, if you pedal backwards, you go backwards. To stop you simply lock your legs to stop the pedals from turning, this stops the bike, eventually. Altenatively, you just grind you feet along the ground and hope like hell you dont hit the oncoming lorry! Hope this has been of some help!

Any you fellas remeber grabing the lader on the back of a Cement mixer truck a few summers back in the down town core. I remeber that well. I was driving and looked in my mirror and seen a dude hang'n on... I thought it was cool. Nice skills guy's.

[groddan64]

Hi.

I really admire your riding. But I got some questions about your bikes. Why aren't you using changes or brakes? Do you use brakes and changes when you do regular work but not in the races? And also, does messenging pay off good?

Regards from a fellow biker in Sweden.

[karavi]

[scoopoutwater]

This is not Ottawa it is Gatineau. (Across the river)

[badfishgood]

The white horse. Classic.

[pickymoon]

I would not imagine Ottawa had such a boring landscape....

[lasix4]

Great video - nice camera. What's the first track you used (after the intro)?

[13mom]

Bloc Party- "Luno" Remixed with Death from Above 1979

The drunk guy at the end of the video completely makes it.
