Alleycat: Originally from the bike messenger scene in the USA and Japan it is a race designed to find the best bike messengers. The race does not have a route – there are only checkpoints at various places in the city. Each cyclist can go to the checkpoints in any order, he just has to come back to the finish point with his race card showing he has been to all checkpoints, otherwise he will get penalty points. The cyclist with the best knowledge of the city knowing which streets and alleys are the most convenient to ride on and having the least traffic is more likely to win.
