Hre's a video showing some amazing bike handling. No handed wheelies... Backward riding... in a nice choreographed pattern.... Can it be real? If so, who ARE those guys?

yeah, these guys are the real deal. i know a courier who can do backwards circles, these guys just take it to a new level. theyre more circus performers than cyclists though.

Is that a UCI sanctioned event??

It was cool for a while, then you are just kinda... wow thats a long time to be watching a bunch of guys doing a wheelie

Yeah but if curling is an Olympic event then I see no reason that synchronized cycling or bike dancing won't be in there too. Just wait, you'll see.
Two versions: Road and Mountain....

It looks really awesome, but at the same time, quite gay. Maybe that's just the music talking to me!

They'd have to be ex uni-cyclists who thought it'd look cooler to do what they do on real bikes.
