If you want to see real bicycle skills, check out any of the You Tube videos on indoor artistic cycling. It's actuallly a UCI sanctioned sport. It's amazing to see to the individual perforamnces but I prefer the team competions, where the timing and co-ordination can be breathtaking. Here are some sample performances from past World Championships.

Love me a good fixie video.
I was a fixie goon in the early '00s, corking intersections for alleycats, bombing the wrong direction on one-way roads. I'm recovered now, but I still have that mentality when I ride. Hyper aware of my surroundings, constantly calculating the best way to maintain speed/momentum, ready to jump a gap in traffic in a split second. I just can't do it on a fixed gear very often anymore. Maybe once or twice a month I can live vicariously on the MUP.

Haha, I agree! I found it amazing that he's doing all that on a museum grade bike?!
It's already hard to do these tricks on a bike set up for it but then this man goes on and lifts it on those skinny vintage pista drops. I had to share it with the rest of the vintage-bike crew

Is it me, or was his tire pressure a little low?

Vid was OK. Having a hard time with the Shoei helmet and full leathers with knee pucks and all. A little much protection for wheelies in the street, was expecting the rider to bomb down a hill after donning such apparel.
