Searched fixie on Youtube and this got thrown up. Not sure if it's been posted before but they're absolute nutters.

Have a search for Alleycat, or Lucas Brunelle for more, like this one...

See to me an Absolute Mentalist in a cool way is some one like :

Base Jumpers
Flying squirrel suit nutters
Down hill bikers
Isle of Man TT racers
Paragliders
F1 drivers
Round the world yacht's people
Red Bull race pilots
Astronauts
Sky Divers
Cavers and Pot Holers
Mountain Climbers
Polar explorers
Members of the Armed Forces in Iraq / Afghanistan
etc


This lot as far as I can see are Absolute Mentalists in
an Selfish Arrogant Ct sort of a way .

As some one who lives , works , drives and cycles in London I hope I'm never
unfortunate enough to have to share a bit of road / pavement or whatever bit
of land they feel they have the right to use with them

I also feel for the unfortunate bus driver who eventually hits one of them .

While I can't fail to be impressed by the balls, skill and fitness these boys have, its hardly painting a great picture for us cyclists is it?

Its the Getaway in Stockholm syndrome but in busy London.

Forgive me for being a bit beardy about it

Fixed that for you, there is no way F1 drivers belong in that catagory. OK thay are skilled and brave but if they make a big mistake they will almost definitely walk away.

It's exciting to watch, but they're still fking idiots and I hope they get hauled in front of a judge.

As a cyclist, that's just fking embarrassing. Total twunts. Roll on natural selection, that's what I say. Morons.
