Yeah, I have been amazed by these videos for the past few months. I actually tried my first messenger race at Halloween time and had it handed to me. I definitely stuck out at the start with my helmet and hardtail mountain bike, but had a blast. Even though it was the most fun I have had riding in the city limits, I am not sure if I would do another race as I was not exactly representing the cycling community responsibly. I could not believe the athleticism of some of the guys, not to mention the city riding skills. We rode about 45ish miles to checkpoints all over Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens and the winner came in in under three hours. This was in live traffic on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, in the height of the ticketing spree, no less.

Lucas Brunelle makes the videos and was actually stamping people at one of the checkpoints at Halloween. His face was completely mangled from a recent accident, which surprisingly was his first big crash. Nice guy. I think my favorite clip is on the Baltimore video where a mirror hits him in the arm and then the driver tries chasing Lucas down. It is worth trying to find.
