They are often ridden by bike messengers who know their way around a city, but bicycle commuters might be interested as well.

Some info ... especially if you've never heard of these:

I attended an international bike messenger competition once, as a spectator, maybe 25 years ago. It was fun to watch. They did sprints, delivery course races where the competitors had to grab a package and deliver it through an obstacle course to a receptacle, and probably stunts too alhough my memory is a bit vague.
