Bike derby (single speed world champs 07)
Some shonky photos from a dangerous midnight liaison, not as dangerous as the night club where I got a nose bleed and 2 black eyes. For those not in the know (as I wasn’t) a bike derby is where you ride round and knock people off until someone’s left riding. Sounds OK in concept but on concrete with lots of drunk single speeders even the local yoof just watched from the sidelines while this years bike porn was discarded to make way for the latest sparkley thing next year.
The chap in red in the bottom left photo was so drunk we’d had to help him lift his bike off the ground 2 minutes earlier but it didn’t seem to impair his riding. He also has a front rack filled with beer strapped to his rear rack. I think he might even have won the derby.
