The Crappy German

hm, ok??????? alleycats are common in all the countries with proper bicycle messengers (us&can, europe, aus). i've competed in a couple and think it's hell. cause u lkiterally race through a, in most cases, strange city in the dark. u have to complete certain tasks at chepoints and deliver stuff. you pulse is high, you are high on adrenalin cause you ride through traffic in the darknes (most cases u don't have lights on you), you have to watch out for the police, jump red lights and criss cross the city with steps up to the pavement, poles and chains hanging in your way. and then, if you are totally nut you are riding on a track bike with fixed gears and no brake! it only feels cool afterwards at the party :-)

ja,please do a summary for us daemon

well, these funrdes happen at open roads so the cars are allowed to go as fast as the speed limit allows. if there's a bunch the riders supposedly should ride in a single or perhaps double file on the shoulder. if they don't it's not the problem of the oncoming traffic. also how should the oncoming traffic know about the cyclists. often it's to late when the bunch can be spotted. perhaps there should be signs informing the drivers!? it's a difficult situation to have races on open roads. for one it might become dangerous but on the other hand most races wouldn't happen if the roads had to be closed completely.

Exactly! And amnesty to all those suffering unjustified and arbitrary accusations. Innocence is my family name!
