Video: Irish cyclists need to see Red Bull’s adrenaline-pumping extreme urban bike race

The suspensions on this bike must be unreal.

The suspensions on this bike must be unreal.

We would wager that quite a fair few of JOE’s readers travel into college, work or school via their bike and that the journey is usually a drab affair.

The bloody wind is usually cutting at your face as you keep an eye on the road, potholes and any potential puddles that could cause some embarrassing splashes.

A cycle in Ireland definitely isn’t like this one in Valparaiso, Chile though because this race involves a gravity-defying downhill challenge over an extreme urban terrain with thousands of winding staircases.

This GoPro video shows exactly how fast these cyclists go down the treacherous track.

Try this on an Irish street at your peril.
