Yep, have to echo Krupo's sentiments regarding the music. Anybody know what the track is?

The track is called "Bandwitch," the second to last track on the self-titled Broken Social Scene album.

Great soundtrack. Can't believe people ride like that on fixed gears...

I found that really engrossing and hypnotic. Awesome music. I have a few songs by BSS but that's the best I have heard.

Not necessarily that bad - oh swampgirl, how can you be such a pessimist?

Its the guys, or any girl for that matter, that don't ride like that in the City that I worry about. They're the ones that shouldn't be on those roads and should stick to central park on a sunday.

These guys are obviously professional NYC couriers.

I think the soundtrack is awful personally. There was an original of this that had different soundtrack that suit more.

*promote this little baby to coincide with sifting up of my related vid, http://www.videosift.com/video/Ride-for-Heart-2007-Biking-on-Toronto-highways

@farhad's old comment - yeah, I can imagine several different soundtracks you could fire onto this. It's interesting to consider the different effect the choice of soundtrack has on viewers. I mean, "interesting" = obvious, but still a fun thing to think about too.

Reminds me of this: http://www.videosift.com/video/New-York-City-Bike-Messenger-Drag-Race
Looks like it's from the same race?
edit: Yeah, it's the same thing, just different music, imo better ;-]
