This is about Rouvy, but my guess is that other programs have the same "issue."
Last night I was riding a course called Turnips and Cabbage. There were several times when the guy that recorded the video did a few daredevil tricks in traffic. I realize that he probably slowed down where I didn't and the interaction wasn't as close as it appeared, but there have been other programs that did similar things. I've seen programs where the rider went out into heavy traffic, or played right of way with a truck blocking the road, or passed 3 abreast in a bike path with very little clearance between handlebars. It seems to be that a lot of these guys are doing things that I wouldn't consider, and I ride fairly aggressively in some pretty busy traffic.
Anyone else noticed this? Is a Demark thing (all the videos have a .DE web address) or is just that there are crazy riders all over the world and they all work for Rouvy?
