Impressive.  Although they were putting those unpadded handlebars in places I would never want to put them!

In my next triathlon I'm going to stand up on my aerobars just like they did. No helmet, either.

That takes ridiculous skill to be able to do that without the syncronization aspect even, but the fact that synchronized biking is a sport kind of subconsciously bothers me - I'm not sure why. I guess I feel like the fact that the competitors focus on being synchronized kind of takes the artistic expression out of the tricks and makes it at least seem more rigid and mathematical (not that mathematical is bad), but in this case I'd opt for watching a sole trickster.

Don't get me wrong though, it's super cool

Eh, I do that stuff all the time.  

Holy cow!  If I could do that, it wouldn't matter that I'm a slow lard-azz on the bike.  Which brings a funny memory to mind -- a signed poster that Greg Lemond gave to my brother, and he made it out to Lard A$$ .  They knew each other as juniors, so that must have been a little good-spirited razzing.

What, I have my wife jump on my bike before every bike leg ends and I cross the bike leg finish line every time like that, granted, I always get a time penalty added for not dismounting in time, but to hear the cheering crowds, it is always worth it.

I saw that video last week for the first time, and I was amazed. I see hipsters everyday out side my office window (downtown Austin) I keep hooping they would do something that cool, instead, they just cut off drivers riding their fixie bikes like idiots.
