Keirin Videos and Bike Thieves

This will be a short entry. I found two keirin videos worth posting (a race and an ad). I've been searching everywhere and still cannot find high quality videos of these races. They must make it out of Japan somehow though, so help me out by posting a link to a site that streams them if you find one.

This commercial for keirin racing may be of interest to you as well:

Everyone hates bike thieves. In NYC, where bikes are stolen with some regularity and tempers are high, I would say that being a bike thief is probably a very dangerous occupation. Take for example this video of the second half of a beating that a bike thief received after trying to steal a bike messenger's Cannondale track frame.

Ouch. Hopefully he'll get a real job after that.
