I did study abroad one summer in Italy and we spent two weeks in Sienna, which is a small mideval town. Tons of people would walk down the main throughfare cobble streets where most of the shopping was. One of my favorite pass times was running across that city through the crowded streets dodging people and trying to remember who to say Scusi or Scusa to. It made my daily runs into a game, but I don't think I'd try that with cars....on my bike...going through red lights...without a helmet.

Sort of on topic. Motorcycle related so it's still two wheels right?  There was this dude they called the "Dark Prince"  (yeah, I know it sounds gay, but he was french) who held some kind of record for riding the Paris ring-road.  Can you say 180mph through rush hour?  He's dead now.  I can't find the video's anymore, but if anone has them I'd love a link.

Do you mean the L'arc de Triumph?

That's great! Riding in traffic is so much fun, especially when you're passing cars. I've ridden in a couple Critical Masses in SF and they were a blast. But I don't know about going through red lights, and all that pedestrian traffic would be tough to negotiate. Other than that, looks like a great time.

I am not sure scary does it justice. Just watching it I was scared. I have no idea what it must have been like to ride it. YOu have to have a lot of faith in car drivers to ride they way they do.

NO HELMETS!!!

Yep. A car in NYC is pointless...

But that kicked ass! I would never do that, the most wild thing I did like that in NYC was the NYC bike Tour in may.
