Ride a Bike Fast
Ever wondered how to beat your friends at bike races.

Steps
- Ready your bike. If it's a fixie (no gears) take off all brakes and almost everything that is not crucial, grease every thing, tighten all bolts, cut back on number of spokes, move the back wheel back as far as it will go then cut about 2mm slack. wash and polish with high gloss.
- Buy new tires. Get ones as thin as possible, fully inflate, and put as much space between the tires and frame as possible while still having it be tight. If you have off road tires rub them down a bit and if you can slick them.
- Raise seat up to where your feet meet the pedals straight, tilt hip 15 degrees, hold the middle of the hand bars.
- Learn to ride. Do drills like practice cornering (stand up while tilting the bike) and learn to drift.
- Learn the driving ways, drag by tilting bike towards the foot pedaling downwards get real low during corners, learn to wheelie to get up curves
