Riders used brakeless fixed-gear bicycles. There were often crashes during the races due to the high speeds and technical courses.{{Cite web |date=2015-04-27 |title=Red Hook Criterium's no-brake bike race sweeps cycling world - CBS News |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/red-hook-criterium-no-brake-bike-race-sweeps-cycling-world/ |access-date=2024-05-07 |website=www.cbsnews.com |language=en-US}} It was at one time sponsored by Rockstar Games, among others.
