hope you guys enjoy; would love a 52t front gear for some 70+ speeds but going back up might be a bit of a challenge with that ha - haven't been able to get over 67 with this gearing  |

Not that this isn't pretty cool, (and a well done video!) but drafting cars isn't super-safe...

Live a little Rachel. But yeah I can see how drafting cars especially without brakes would be dangerous.
Not to brag or anything but back in the day I might have passed two Ferraris and a Porsche going down Gordon hill. That was back in 2005 while most of you were still in elementary/middle school.

That is badass! No doubt its not the safest, but gotta live life on the edge sometimes to keep it real  I try to mitigate the risk as much as possible, only do it if there is one car going down the hill at a time, never in thick traffic. Have seen some guys on carbon road bikes flying down Gordon, pretty jealous of the speed they get ha May as well turn this into a gopro thread; heres some vids from sailing in the summer (im the guy in black ha) and downhill at blue as well |

I legitimately was in elementary school...but passing cars is definitely one my top 10 favourite things to do. Ski hill roads are the best. |

I hit 59 on my mountain bike but I couldn't break 60....yet I did 56 at some point in my first Ontario Cup back on the scene this year somehow... still don't know how I did that on trails, gotta love the mansfield hill! But yeah, a fixie behind cars above the speed limit. Bold indeed! |

Id say cool .. but I am with Rachel ... unsafe! .. I love passing cars as much as the next guy but drafting them without brakes (especially in traffic) is just not a good idea
