Video: Brazilian cyclist balances gas canister AND watermelon on his head
The video we posted yesterday showing a cyclist in São Paulo, Brazil trackstanding while balancing a gas canister in his head got you talking. Now, another has emerged showing the same man riding not just with a gas canister, but also a watermelon perched on his noggin.
The clip below was spotted by Twitter user Scotbot, who tweeted a link to a version on YouTube. The original was uploaded to the video-sharing site in August 2013 by Gil Cesar Cavalini, who lives São Paulo.
The bike appears to be the same in both videos, although in the one we featured yesterday, posted to Facebook by Aecio Rullian Freire Barros on 22 December, it now sports a rear luggage rack – not that we imagine that ever gets much use.

I suppose they'll just have to bid on it when it inevitably ends up on ebay!
Mavic, and indeed all wheel companies, have to be extra vigilant anout this. This could be the start of something on a much larger scale.
