The eagerly-awaited sequel to Martyn Ashton's 'Road Bike Party' video is here.
Trials ace and bicycle stuntman Martyn Ashton amazed everyone last year when he took Sir Bradley Wiggins’ bike for a spin – or at least a Pinarello Dogma very like Sir Brad’s bike – and demonstrated that in the right hands a skinny-tyred bike was every bit as capable of being jumped, hopped and backflipped as a trials bike or mountain bike.
For this sequel, Martyn’s enlisted a couple of good friends – Chris Akrigg and Danny MacAskill – to help with stunt duties as he is still recovering from a spinal injury sustained when a stunt went wrong earlier this year.

Once again it seems Martins Law* has been abided by.
*Martins Law dictates that if one produces a video that has cycling as its subject matter one must add truly truly awful music to it.

In short, the wheels are road racing ones, with GP4000 clinchers.
Time to be less worried about what punishment super lightweight road bikes can take?

These vids are a gentle reminder of what bike riding is all about – having fun.
Out for a road ride and spot a tempting bit of singletrack weaving down though the woods? No, you don’t need to go home and get your MTB, just gun it! Running to the shops and pass the skatepark on the way back, why not have a go at jumping the box on your roadie?
