<p>Maybe there&#8217;s something to this whole intelligent design thing because Darwin is clearly wrong about <a href="http://vimeo.com/17439730">these guys</a>, who filmed themselves bombing Portrero hill and blowing stop signs on fixed-gear bikes.</p>
<p><a href="http://bikesnobnyc.blogspot.com/2010/12/tempting-fate-look-ma-no-hands.html">BikeSnobNYC</a> had these bits of commentary gold to offer:</p>
<blockquote><p>I&#8217;m not sure why you&#8217;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.</p></blockquote>
<p>Ouch! And:</p>
<blockquote><p>You&#8217;d also think that, in a city like San Francisco, <em>climbing</em> hills quickly would be the true measure of cycling prowess, but I guess water and stupidity always find their own level.</p></blockquote>
<p>Great idea. Anyone want to start making some impressive &#8220;reverse hill bombing&#8221; videos? Let us know. We&#8217;ll meet you with the cameras (these may be cell phone cameras) at 22nd and Church.</p>
