Dang, that's pretty cool. I couldn't quite tell, but I am guessing they are on fixies?? And really slick tires? -Jak

Yes, all fixies. There's a sequence starting at 1:20 where the guy is doing one-legged tricks where he stops the pedals with one foot while still smoothly riding forward.He was so smooth I had to rewatch the video to see if his rear wheel stopped. It does: the postcard in the rear spokes (so that's what they're for...) tells the tale.Apparently it's an SF group called Macaframa.I think you're right about some of the road surfaces being slick, but they're also unweighting their rear tires really skillfully.
