    I hardly ever saw one use a smaller width on the bar, fut the logics in traffic suits it for sure. I think I saw such widths on foldable bikes, but wow. My compliments on the riding done here. I loved watching this. Just the red light runs are a bit...well... Still amazing to watch though!

Seeing so many instances of this really depends on luck most of the time. I guess instead of coffee, the cyclist stimulates themselves with something else, that's why they're so daring.
