Here's a nice tongue in cheek vid (below) from the Netherlands. What would cycling be like if it was like driving? that's the theme explored in this short which was created as a Dutch school project aimed at promoting bikes – a long way from the situation we're currently seeing in the UK where bikes are effectively banned at some schools...

Cracking video (below) from French Prankster Remi Gaillard, this. The infamous joker set up a full size mountain finish on a French Col, complete with fans, film crews, a 2CV support car, motorbike outriders and a man in his underpants, then filmed the reactions of sunday cyclists as they were mobbed by the adoring crowd at the summit. Reactions were, shall we say, mixed. One guy gets right into the spirit of things, telling the interviewer that "the mountain was very steep" while holding the winner's cup and wearing a viking helmet. Another chap is more bemused: "I'm not part of your race", he repeats to the oblivious crowd. Excellent stuff.
