Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I can't tell if that guy actually thought he might make it, or if he just ran out of braking power, and figured that was his best option escape route. In any case, he obviously miscalculated the risk, although I would not have even taken that shot.

My favorite part is the jerk-off who rides into the gap behind him!

The nice thing is that you have a reckless idiot here and the only person he endangered is himself. When guys like that get in cars everyone is in danger.

This vid is a few years old. Urbaneverthing.com should read Rehasheverything.com

+1 on disappointment due to lack of skirts.

try "narrowly skirts" next time so I don't get my hopes up.

You don't hope to see narrow skirts?
