Sorry for the late post... Just saw this and laughed my ass off for a good ten minutes or so:



Arguably the best part is the helmet cam inset, so in case watching him from the side is too suspenseful, you can look down and quell your fear of his raw speed.

I like seeing ideas like this realized, though it seems somewhat useless on the downhills; I mean, all you can really do is coast right? Uphills are understandably the focus of much innovation in bicycle design, though are only one aspect of cycling (lets not forget about downhill and flats).

I think negating utility in one place in favor of high mechanical advantage in another is a little like buying new jeans to make cutoff shorts; then again, riding this slow would also likely force you to become masterful at bike handling, so maybe its not so half baked after all.
