Melbourne cyclist dabs for Google StreetView car

Dabbed his way right down the street

A Melbourne cyclist has made the most of a short ride behind a Google StreetView car by adopting a dab pose for the photographs it was taking.

The Telegraph reports that while riding along Cecil Place in December 2016, the unnamed rider either executed a whole series of dabs or quite possibly one long one.

It looks like he only returned his hands to the bars at the end of the road at the junction with the rather busier Chapel Street.

In 2011, Tom Boonen popped up on StreetView clad in his Belgian national champion’s jersey, while more recently, Jeremy Corbyn was snapped on his Raleigh near his home in Islington.

Alex has written for more cricket publications than the rest of the road.cc team combined. Despite the apparent evidence of this picture, he doesn't especially like cake.

Alledgedly, dabbing comes from cannabis culture where a 'dab' of hash oil often causes the inhaler to cough (into their elbow is the recommended technique). Believe it or not, the dance move has been made illegal in Saudi Arabia: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/saudi-arabia-dab-arrest-singer-abdallah-al-shaharani-dance-move-onstage-taif-festival-anti-narcotics-a7885686.html

Was thinking exactly the same thing although i thought they would also add in a jail term of 6 months as well.
