Cyclocross from the 1950s


Thanks to Jonas for emailing this clip around. Just thought I would share it with the rest of you too. The running start idea is very good. Can't we do that? And crossing rivers reminds me a lot of Farrisrunden in Norway earlier this year. Maybe we can extend our track across to Hisingen?

Considering my last race, the idea of throwing the bike over obstacles is a nice idea. Or if someone gets too far ahead of me, I can throw my vevparti at them while I grab my spare bike. Or when my tubdäck fall off I can lasso other riders. Yes...I have many ideas now...

And if they do finish with a bike, we will have to conclude that 'They don't build bikes like they used to.' =)
