Must have a death wish. Gotta give it to him, he clearly has skills.

I constantly get the urge to ride like that, but you have to be able to temper your libido a bit in that kind of traffic. Not sure I agree about the skills assessment from that short clip. No way he knew what was coming on the other side of that mini-van, and I bet he came a lot closer than he would have liked to that line of cars. He got lucky.

Dickheads like this just bring us lower speed limits, tighter noise regs, power caps, more complex testing regimes, Police clampdowns, and generally f**k up biking for the rest of us, and when they finally kill themselves their death gives the anti-bike lobby more ammunition.

I think he would be better off on a track or trying his hand at Moto-gymkhana, here he can properly test his skills without risking the lives of normal folk going about their business.

I don't have much use for guys like that. IF he wants to toast himself, he should get out of town and find a giant birch tree to plow into. The trouble with these guys is that they usually end up taking out a harmless bystander, and then they walk away from it. This guy needs to lose his biking privileges for say … maybe 50 years or so. But I'm feeling lenient this morning. ::019:: R

I have met a few guys who ride like that. They don't say anything when I first meet them. In fact, they don't say anything at all, as they are covered by a blanket.
