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.
Simon has been news editor at road.cc since 2009, reporting on 10 editions and counting of pro cycling’s biggest races such as the Tour de France, stories on issues including infrastructure and campaigning, and interviewing some of the biggest names in cycling. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, his background has proved invaluable in reporting on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, and the bike industry. He splits his time between London and Cambridge, and loves taking his miniature schnauzer Elodie on adventures in the basket of her Elephant Bike.
Shit take. She had no idea the perpetrators were indigenous. If it had happened in Springvale would she have put #asianfriends, with a little emoji...
I'd forgotten about that shite.
A salad spinner is enough...
Did you look at the other side of the road as there are several cyclists in view using it. You also had 40-50 bikes on the central locking areas...
Ouch!
I just had a look and there are 6 other helmets with lights and indicators on kickstarter. Must bea gap in the market for #7
Thanks for this, looking at my IOSH notes, it is indeed a strong analogy only, however as you say, off topic...
Nah...my son rides one and he's 29kg...on 32mm tyres, however. Moderate PSI for an 8yr old.
You're on a hiding to nothing rising to the bait!
I hope that if owners are reunited with their e-scooters they are then promptly nicked on suspicion of having illegally ridden them on public land.
