Alleycat Bike Racing

By: GearJunkie, 1 year 7 months ago


Alleycat bike racing pits urban riders against a course made to mimic the route of a bike messenger on an average day in a city. Alleycat racing combines three things I love -- urban riding, bike racing, and navigation with a map. The resulting game, which includes manned checkpoints where you get a "manifest" passport stamped as well as landmarks where you write in the answer to a clue, is an elaborate feat of athletic ability, urban riding, and route strategy as you crisscross a city. This photo montage, from the All City Championship Alleycat race in Minneapolis, highlights the spirit of what it is to do an Alleycat event.
