Top Gear Peak Hour Challenge

Much like the Brooklyn Challenge featured a few weeks/posts ago, only bigger, longer, and - as is Top Gear's custom - sillier.

Still, Richard Hammond rode this bike to victory - leaving an SUV, Public Transport, and even a speedboat in his wake (pardon the pun). Check YouTube for illegally distributed copies of the footage.

Nice to see a car program give a nod to cyclists. I felt the show was fairly even-handed - in its own grossly exaggerated way.

Editor's Note: Something about the name Hammond that brings out the inner bicycle nut, it seems.
