Video: Cyclist in Brazil rides over cobbles – while balancing a FRIDGE on his shoulder

Seeing as his car is probably a gold wrapped Hummer or G Wagon, it would appear that his taste mechanisms have been out of action for some time.

At the very top of the hierarchy would be separation of cyclists and motor vehicles, or reduction of car journeys. Safety features fitted to cars, while better than PPE, could fail or be override.

Yeah, the updated site isn't exactly an improvement.

No chance. Television viewing figures dictate tea time/evening finishes. Look at the scheduling of the USA football world cup, with some games kicking off mid afternoon in 90 degC plus and high RH, just to meet European evening viewing slots.

But hey, everybody prefers summer to winter, right?! And by the way, it was cold yesterday where I live, so global warming is obviously fake.

Corral (two r's) is the word they're looking for, as in Gunfight At. Granted, it's pleasant to imagine a tropical reef slowly forming over a submerged bike.

We have proxy records dating back millions of years from ice cores and tree records. They show that the planet is now at its warmest point for the last 130,000 years (when sea levels were 6m higher than today). If we keep on the current trend which predicts temperatures will be three degrees above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century the planet will be hotter than at any time since the Pliocene epoch, which ended about 2.5M years ago. We've managed this in around two hundred years. Nothing to worry about there then.

Re Yoro There was little prospect of a collision but I note he is wearing a seat belt in the picture. OK to take risks with other peoples lives but not your own?

Who has interest in promoting and pushing for the hi-viz fashion apart from the state that collects extra sales tax and importers/distributors of hi-viz gear? Always follow the money trail. The RSA midleading narrative might create a false sense of safety creates a among children who wear fluorescent jackets, pants, gloves, ... In broad daylight, with or without a high visibility jacket, an inattentive and/or reckless driver causes the same bodily damage.

50 years of data on a planetary timescale of 4.5 billion years. Ideally, cycling should become an indoor sport to limit costs and risks and maximize viewership and TV rights. Triathlon is leading the race.
