Bike Race old school New Zealand

before the lycra and 21 speed mountain bikes made this sort of carry-on respectable, real men barrelled down hillsides on big wheeled one-speeds, with no suspension.

So Rad! Early KLUNKERZ and 'Crossers in NZ. When Joe Breeze and Steve Potts went to NZ in 1980 with their mountain bikes no wonder people dug it...they were already WAY into it. Those flipped over drop bars will definitely scoop out your kidney if you don't watch it. OUTSTANDING! 5 Stars!

What a gem! Almost two years on TH-cam and hardly any viewers, shame!
