There's tall bikes and there's tall bikes but this is the tallest we've seen. Check out the amazing POV footage from this hacked Huffy beach cruiser. At over fourteen feet to the saddle you need a real head for heights and some climbing skills just to get up there. And once it's rolling through the streets of LA there's no putting your feet down at the lights. Enjoy!

@MoralHazard From what little I have read of Richardson, his life was pretty much 'ruined' in the first place.
@whosatthewheel "Reducing the speeds wouldn’t have helped in this case" Yes, it would, because knowing the junction layout very well (I live nearby) the driver approached it at high speed, likely did a quick check to his right (from where Mr Mullins approached), and continued on at high speed. Making it a T-junction would have forced him to slow down to a crawl before turning - else he'd have gone through the hedge opposite.
@andystow That is, or at least used to be, the notorious cost/benefit analysis applied to roads by the Department for Transport.
There are parts of the UK that are not yet called 'London', surprising as that might appear to readers of this story and similar ones in the national media.
@mdavidford Ah. Thank you.
@kil0ran Look, you are arguing against higher profits for car manufacturers obtained through changing to SUVs and 'trucks'. To argue thusly is a heinous offence under capitalism. If it is not already unlawful we can expect that to change soon, given the seriousness with which holding a sign declaring support for Palestine Action is taken by the police, media and criminal justice system.
@whosatthewheel Perhaps there is a correlation between high levels of wealth and sociopathy.
@Rendel Harris Wow. A reasoned comment using evidence. Are you real? You must be a lefty... which the far right thinks is a term of abuse.
@Mr Blackbird Judging by the coverage on The Daily Mail, it is treated as a 'reason' to bring back hanging.
Neil here, the guy in charge of Kingston Wheelers visual identity. That poster was sent out without my approval. When I found out about it I was not happy. I’m a professional animator and designer with a zero tolerance approach to AI slop. It never appeared on our official channels, and one were to look at our IG feed, it should be obvious that we promote good design. It was too late to stop it as it had been shared by the local ‘cross leagues already by the time I found out about it. We take great care on how we present ourselves. Currently we are working with an external brand agency on our upcoming rebrand and new website, for example. I myself have designed many event posters over the years and we’ve worked with some very talented illustrators, designers and photographers. It’s been communicated to the members that no AI is to be used for anything that could be construed as club communication. I do wish Jo had reached out for comment before publishing this as it makes us look lazy and generic. I hope you are going to correct the record, Jo? Best wishes, Neil Grunshaw

I’ve mentally logged it that he had some outriders ready to steady the ship should his route be compromised. I’ve had to do that else I’d have nightmares.
