The Thousands

So you think you’re all tough riding your brakeless fixie through traffic without a helmet? Well, I guess you are because those cars really are quite sharp and hard. BUT, imagine brakeless around a gravel velodrome with full body contact and five other aggressive dudes, jostling for place in the bicycle version of motorcycle speedway. This largely British phenomenon, possibly the best thing they’ve invented since crooked teeth, was huge in the 50s and down Findon way it’s still huge every Sunday.
