Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before.

The Smiths are the pioneers of the bike messenger/fixed gear fashion genre. Seriously … the only thing separating this video from todays Portland bike culture is the lack of oversized, $600 messenger bags and custom-made cotton cycling caps.

Dave & Rick - Wearing the same shirt and having the same hair cut sounds a lot like Snakebite Racing. When the time comes for me to leave SBR to form a Northeast Ohio cyclocross team, the team kit will be Motorhead t-shirts, shoulder length hair, and handlebar mustaches. And for the team name ... Ace of Charades*.

Eric – You’re right, The Smith's ROCK! Upon further observation of the video it appears that Morrissey is uncomfortable in front of the camera. He’s either trying his best not to be self-conscious or he’s putting on a great performance.
