Cyanide and Happiness: You Did What?

Must Watch: Extreme Mountain Biker

Yeah, the thought of mountain bike riding always sounded like a lot of fun, but after watching this video, not so much.  Well, maybe if it wasn't quite so fast. One wrong move and this bike ride, would have turned into an ambulance ride.
Check out this truly insane video of Alejandro Paz, from Perú. He's a downhill mountain biker and current Peruvian National Champion. The video was shot in San Pedro de Casta, Lima, Peru, 3,200m above sea level. The trail begins at Marcahuasi, a famous touristic attraction of great historical relevance to the pre-Incan culture. Perú is a extraordinary country for Extreme sports. The video was shot in the normal frame rate and speed.

What a Hot Mess: Bicyclists Take Matters Into Their Own Hands

I don't know if you've noticed, but bicyclists have had some really bad days recently. First the following note was left to a bike thief on Valentine's day; only to get an even more embarrassing one in return.

Then there's this poor bicyclist in the video below.  He was literally pushed out of the way by a driver in a small, gray car.  The bicyclist wasn't haven't any of it, so he ripped of the driver's side view mirror and rode off.  What a hot mess. Lol.  For those who don't know, bicyclists have the right of way on our city streets.  They take a place of a car if they are in front of you.  What would you have done?

Freestylin' On A Vintage Ladies Bike

You know you boys wanted to freestyle when you were kids, and this goes for you too, ladies. 

My sister learned how to ride a bicycle without hands way before I ever could. Hell, I don't think I ever learned how. 

In either case, check out French Trials rider, Mickael Dupont attempt some bicycle tricks on a vintage ladies bike. It doesn't go so well at times, but he actually managed to pull some through after a while.

A Cyclist's Legs

Cyclists have gorgeous thighs, calves and great asses, because each of these muscles fire through the pedal stroke.

Bike Lanes Suck

So how do you prove that bicycle lanes are the dumbest thing in the book?  Just tape a video of yourself crashing into things.

Last week, I posted a great video by Ron Gabriel, on the expansion of bike lanes in New York, and the issues that have arisen because of it.

This time around, Casey Neistat wishes to let everyone know he got a ticket for not riding on the bicycle lane.  He informed the officer that bike lanes were not safe, hence, the video below.

IT'S A 3-WAY STREET

"By summer 2010, the expansion of bike lanes in NYC exposed a clash of long-standing bad habits — such as pedestrians jaywalking, cyclists running red lights, and motorists plowing through crosswalks. By focusing on one intersection as a case study, my video aims to show our interconnection and shared role in improving the safety and usability of our streets. The video is part of a larger campaign I created called '3-Way Street'."

Videographer, Ron Gabriel couldn't have stated it any better.  Towards the end of the video below, he also states that, "There are 12,370 intersections in NYC, 74% of crashes happen in intersections, and 4 people are killed or seriously injured every day."

After you watch the video, you'll see how crazy it is.
