    Really good video. What an experience that must have been for them

    FCN is minimal as I don't see many bikes on the way to work

    Watching that video makes me want to get a fixie.

    Fricking nutters going thru traffic junctions like that ! Fantastic fixed riding though. V impressive and he looks smooth on his.

    I noticed the RLJing at around 1 minute in all right. Observance of traffic laws and general respect for other road users goes up markedly when Lance joins the bunch. Don't have much respect for mad skillz if you are relying on a motorist's quick reaction to your lawbreaking to avoid getting squashed. Now where's my pipe and slippers...

    if you go to the front page of that site it'll automatically play the same video. At the end it has credits and shows LA trying to pull a skid...at about 4 mph... :lol:

    Reminds me of a kid who couldnt help but join in our bike ride thru Connahs Quay last Saturday - he overtook us - we were keeping up with the slow traffic - then undertook a few cars - getting almost squashed once, and clipping a mirror another time, and then when he'd proved his point - about being faster than us I guess - he did a U-turn in traffic, nearly got squashed again and carried on his way.

    Connahs Quay isnt quite as photogenic as Austin, and I'm not Lance, but a v similar situation. Kinda. ;-)

    There's the suspension bridge over the Dee, which is pretty new!

    There is MG - that is quite stunning - but this was thru the busy town centre. The new bridge looks very continental IMHO. http://www.aidan.co.uk/photo6100.htm
