That near miss with the lady - the one that kept backing up despite seeing him - is more representative of the current social mentality around (although I must say he was ballsy/irresponsible doing what he did, I would never in a million years try to pull that move). In this society the majority is still stuck with the motto: bikes are inferior, cars reign the road, you should ride on the sidewalk.

    The 180° rule may be good, but I would like to be able to freeze frames to identify the vegetation on the road. Solanum mauritianum may be present, it's a miraculous plant that allows you to do without stripping products to clean your bike transmission, and do the dishes too!

    Friend, sometimes you take a lot of risks. This downhill somehow reminded me of motorcycle racing on the Isle of Man, only there on the track all the corners, walls, fences, they try to protect at least with compressed hay, well, or other means, and everything is adult for you. Respect you!

      Love my loud hub. People clear the way on the bike trails and it lets other riders know I'm drafting them

      @@kw4704 yeah I can kind of see the appeal for a loud hub. But when watching videos like these, I personally just find it too loud for me to enjoy his skills and the scenery.
