Maybe there’s something to this whole intelligent design thing because Darwin is clearly wrong about these guys, who filmed themselves bombing Portrero hill and blowing stop signs on fixed-gear bikes.
BikeSnobNYC had these bits of commentary gold to offer:
I’m not sure why you’d make a video like this and put it on the Internet unless your goal is to figuratively urinate on the graves of every cyclist who has ever been killed by a motor vehicle through no fault of his or her own.
Ouch! And:
You’d also think that, in a city like San Francisco, climbing hills quickly would be the true measure of cycling prowess, but I guess water and stupidity always find their own level.
Great idea. Anyone want to start making some impressive “reverse hill bombing” videos? Let us know. We’ll meet you with the cameras (these may be cell phone cameras) at 22nd and Church.

Are you new? Portrero? You have too many r’s in there pal.
Po trero. Potrero.
footage of going up the hill would be *great* in slo mo
I tried doing a helmet cam of going uphill, but it is very very very very boring.
Man, these nitwits are not only stupid, they’re wimps. This is my corner. We are at el. 250′, so they might be ‘bombing’ all of 150 vertical feet. At age thirteen I regularly used to ride to BART from the folks place around el. 1000′, probably 500 vertical.
If you’re going to risk your life, do it right.
do this on a skateboard and then we’ll talk . . .
I grew up on Potrero Hill, and my brothers and their friends all skateboarded down those very hills in the 70s. A few skin grafts later, they live to tell the tale.
Take away the bikes and it’s still a really nice video of some pretty SF sunsets/views.
These are the fucktards that give bicyclists a bad name.
No, it’s the dicks who run pedestrians off the sidewalks who give bicyclists a bad name. These guys, the only name they give is “statistic”.
I used to like to go down really steep hills on my bike too. When I was 12. And even then I made sure to do it on long uninterrupted rural roads. You could put an Exhibit A cover sheet on this for why people hate cyclists.
fuck all ya’ll, this shit is old hat. fools have been bombing hills on track bikes for the past 6 years. they made a film about it, its fucking called M.A.S.H.
yup, not sure what the big deal is. A quick search on youtube and you can find loads of this.
hahahahahah….hahahahahaha… 6 years? MASH? come on. really? MASH came around when fixed gears were already dead….
None of you have ever done anything illegal or dangerous ever, right?
Haters gonna….
This looks like my daily commute (ain’t sh*t). Seen MASH?
no thanks
