Video: Man solves Rubik's Cube one-handed in 40 seconds - while riding Boris Bike

Simone Santarsiero cracked 3D puzzle while cycling in Hyde Park

Mon, Oct 05, 2015 21:47

Here’s something we haven’t seen before – someone solving a Rubik’s Cube one-handed in less than 40 seconds, while steering a Boris Bike with the other.

The video was shot in Hyde Park on a recent trip to London by Simone Santarsiero, whose YouTube channel reveals him to be a big fan of the 3D puzzle invented in 1974 by Ernő Rubik.

There’s nothing in The Royal Parks’ Pathway Code of Conduct: Considerate Cycling that specifically addresses the issue of solving a Rubik’s Cube while riding, but we’re sure there will be soon.
