3 July 2005 - New York City, NY, USA - A rider gets his manifest stamped by "Junjun" (R, partly hidden) at an alleycat checkpoint on 43rd street in New York City, USA, July 3rd 2005, as Richard (L, background) waits for more riders to arrive. Alleycats are urban cycle races held informally - without notification of the authorities - on open roads and in real traffic, to simulate the messenger's working conditions.
