Are people even questioning the Skujins video? Even with the video?
Second video - he turns crank, picks bike and turns it around => beginning of first video. The footage is overlapping and reasonably clear, I really can't see anything suspect there at all myself.
They are 2 almost seperate snippets though.
You see him turning the pedals in the second video but if you watch the first again the wheel is in contact with the floor and the bike moving slowly, then no pedal contact, then wheel spinning fast.
I'm not one for conspiracies generally speaking but don't think the second video fully explains the first - though i do recognise the first isn't conclusive either due to position of the bloke walking by...
Sir Bradley speaks very highly of you...
The spinning video is interesting, he claims it's a turning of the cogs yet the wheel seems to be touching the floor when he's rolling the bike, then accelerates as he lifts the wheel...
Look at the other video posted - it's just what he said it was.
Wiggins is a twat and that dude using his leg to get a tow is a legend, top bike skills, he's the type less likely to come a cropper than others supposedly taking more precaution and hi-vis/helmet adorned.
No one takes the rules seriously, do they? Do they?
If you can't sort a chain whilst keeping rubber side down, then I can understand your need to excuse your inability to follow the rules
Dude, I put the chain back on without stopping the fucking bike. As for folks who want to up end their bikes, go fo it, there's nothing wrongh with that. It's like folks that use tyre levers to get their tyres off, nowt wrong with that either.
Rules are there to be broken.
HERETIC!
You won't catch me wearing those things either...
Rule #1 //Obey The Rules.
I call foul on Skujins! How is he able to sort out the bike without it being upside down.
He probably suffers from hayfever too!
As with matters already covered, he's just obeying The Rules.
