This is totally SFW, it's a chap commuting at speed through a tunnel at speed. Bumps a lorry and pushes a truck along! Makes good ground but don't think he'll last long!

    Darwin would have been laughing if he had impaled himself on the back of that lorry with the overhanging steel...

    That looks like so much fun. Last time I did the tunnel thing it was closed to traffic and we were being led by a Aston Martin.
    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.

    I'm actually amazed he hit something and stayed up! I've skimmed the back of a van before and did a great roly poly over the bars!

    I'm guessing its a tunnel through the Alps?

    Ok so his riding is clearly stupid, but wtf is that wood / metal doing sticking out of the lorry like that?! Seriously dangerous to all road users

    Trying to figure what country that is in, I'd guess at Southern Europe somewhere but can't get a clear view of thr reg plates.....nuts though chapeau for the misguided size of his gonads!

    i would say either france or italy looking at the van he was hitching a ride on at the end, too many risks going inbetween lorries for me but would be good to try on a closed road day
    Sorry its not me it's the bike ;o)

    I'd guess at it being Russia.

    Guys an idiot.

    Yes, it's Russia. Pause at 56 secs and a truck has MOCKBA (Moscow in cyrilic) written on it.
    That being the case I'm surprised none of the drivers wiped him out for their own amusement
