This Intriguing Freestyle Bicycle Video Has A Pleasant Commercial Airliner Surprise In It.



In addition to all things aviation, I am also into all things bicycle.  I call cycling my "Me" time, with a wonderful health benefit attached to it.  Therefore, when someone puts out a cool cycling video, I tend to pay attention to it.

From time-to-time, someone puts out an interesting freestyle video.  Even rarer is someone who does their tricks on a road bike.  Even rarer still is someone who utilizes commercial airliners as their terrain of choice.  Check out the excellent footage (appears to be KMHV), and pay special attention from 1:05 to 1:38, as the rider uses some airliners in a way the manufacturer's never foresaw.

While the video is indeed fun to watch, the imminent death of an airliner is always hard to take.
