ViaVelo fixie tricks make me long for springtime and open streets

I just stumbled across this footage from the fixie trick jam at last year's ViaVelo. Seeing those crowds of people gathered 'round to watch the tricks made me remember what a great day it was. I heard plenty of people who had never seen a 180 on a track bike (and didn't know what a track bike was), telling each other how much fun they were having at San José's first open streets event.

A little visual reminiscence after the jump...

Thanks to John Hamilton, who was out there on his skates getting great footage of the whole day.
