It was dangerous enough. The bus wasn't stationary that guy passed toward the end of the video.
As to wimpy bikes - I don't think so. It seemed only one guy was on a freewheel. The others shown were locked.

And building it into a single speed. It's a cool old Swiss frame from about '81 or '82, built with Reynolds 531. Then I'm moving to NY...
