of Trackbikes on the streets (and sidewalks) of San Fran.

Watching the two riders side-by-side blow through three stop signs, then the three in-line running another, then the pair again running another one...

In fact, I didn't see a single stop sign that was obeyed in the whole clip.

Of course, when you're that age - you're invunerable.

But -- Same roads, Same rights, Same rules. Gee, haven't I heard that somewhere???

Had I cared about their reckless speed throughout the city I may have had a decidedly different opinion, but bike-messengers in EVERY city do the exact same things... that doesn't make it right. It just is.

The richness and excitement of urban life.

Very cool. Stopping isn't really a track bike's special move.
