I love rallye racing. Here's how to do it with a bike.

WARNING: NOT A HIPPIE BIKE. If you are looking for a safe, efficient way to travel around town, LEAVE. If you are bored and want to have epic fun, stay.

Finding the Right Bike.

First, you need the right bike. I'd suggest a bike with small gears(if you want a lot of torque,big gears)and knobbly tires.

Stage 1 Weight Reduction

This step is simple but long. Simply long. Just remove all decoration. If it doesn't function in performance's favor, lose it.

Stage 2 Weight Reduction

Step 2 again, this time remove the rear brakes, just don't forget to leave the mounting bolt, like I did:

Simply bolt on a strip of curved scrap metal. The one here's not painted.

Take some neon orange spray paint and duct tape and make a bright stripe in line with your wheels. It helps with straightening your line by giving you a guide.
