That was totally worth a click.
Bad editing, bad continuity, but lovable.

Who needs a Mustang (with seven hubcaps) and a Charger when you have a pair of 60s British road bikes and a teleporter?

Looked like pretty standard SF traffic etiquette.

That was some great bike riding. Man those bikes were really built right back then. I ran off the curb and got a pinch flat and had to have my rim trued!

Great video! Those two had balls riding like that. I'm sure they were stunt men for most of the video. May even surpass Bullitt chase scene.

It is a fun video. However, the route makes no sense. Same for the route in Bullitt.

I also liked the shot of Rock spinning downhill in his 42. Made me think of Breaking Away.

I've watched the clip a few times and I was curious to see if I could determine the make of the bikes used. Imagine my surprise when I snapped this screen capture!

It must be an early prototype model.

Why was he chasing the guy and when he finally had a good opportunity to nail him (at 4:10), he got back on the bike and continued the "race"? And since the perp had a gun, why did he wait so long to use it?
