Delete the subject lacks any coverage in reliable third party sources. The article is quite possibly a hoax. Alpha_Quadrant ^(talk) 20:57, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is not a hoax and is still practiced in Minneapolis at the very least annually during the Bicycle Film Festival after-party at One on One Bicycle Studio. It's not "covered" because it's counterculture and hasn't been "discovered" by anyone yet, though I'm sure it's just a matter of time. ;) As to whether it should be kept or deleted, I guess I can't say; here are some links, though:
