Yikies! I'm guessing the cameraman was on an ebike (about the only way I can figure the video capture was so smooth).

That's some serious riding. i remember being a kid and watching all the movies/documentaries about bike messengers and thinking I'd be one someday. Nope!

I took a ride out to the cemetery on this old Basso; a friend of mine gave me the wheels, and I'd wanted to try them out. Those Mavic hubs are pretty fast, compared to the old DuraAce! Felt like I had a tail wind for the full 21 miles. (The headstone at the top of those steps reads WHEELESS)
