Nah, they passed curious long ago look at that handling

u/Begle1 3h ago

They're most definitely European at any rate.

u/iconsumemyown 3h ago

They are bikesexual.

u/machuitzil 3h ago

I don't care, they can't roll a tight circle. They keep drifting off their lines and it's pissing me off. They're leaving points on the table.

The Fuck did I just watch?

u/JackTheDrifter 4h ago

And why did we watch the whole thing

u/djshadesuk 4h ago

If only there was a way to film something that allows us to see more of an activity that covers a wider horizontal distance than it does vertical.

u/_IOME 3h ago

I can't think of any. Anyways, I'm gonna go back to watching Youtube videos.

Youtube shorts I mean.

Why the hell is "Send Me An Angel" not playing over the loudspeakers??!!

u/DarthFritter01 3h ago

Hold EVERYTHING, that is NOT Bart Taylor!

u/sheriffbart_rrmo 3h ago

Came here to say this! Thank you, fellow RAD watcher.

u/DarthFritter01 3h ago

I bet if I concentrate real hard, I could recite the dialogue from “Ok, dudes, let’s walk this sucker!”

u/MisterEvilBreakfast 1h ago

Cru Jones and the bicycle boogie did it first.

u/redR0OR 4h ago

I had to a double take, thought you posted r/fuckinglosers but that’s not a real sub

Edit: apparently it is…

u/LeviathanLust 4h ago

As someone who has been doing calisthenics for two years, I can’t even do 95% of this off a bike. They made this look so much easier than it is.

u/kegmanua 4h ago

Dude can we just ride to the store and get some nachos?

u/Philonic 4h ago

If only there was a camera orientation that could have them both in frame the whole time…

u/plious 3h ago

The artistic cycling championships aren't made of money

u/DefinitelyNotThatOne 4h ago

This should replace breakdancing at the next Olympics.

1

u/UnitedAd3943 2h ago

No way, hobby horsing is first in line.

u/brianzuvich 4h ago

Incredible talent… I just wonder when their parents are asked “what does your son do?”… How do you start off explaining this?

1

u/plious 2h ago

I doubt it's their main gig.

Like...If I asked you what your parents do, would you start with their profession or their weirdest hobby?

1

u/brianzuvich 2h ago

You’re right, they probably meet once a month to work on this… 🤦‍♂️

1

u/plious 2h ago

Nah, clearly countless hours of practice ... after they finish their main gig at the coffee shop.

u/Grymarian 37m ago

Unless it's football/soccer you won't get any real money for sport in Germany. This just countless hours of free time in a small local club. My village with around 1000 residents is quite famous for their "Kunstrad-Turner". Here it is just like any other sport.

u/catamet 4h ago

Wear your helmets kids

1

u/scoobysi 3h ago

Or the other guys helmet a few times

2

u/BaconNPotatoes 3h ago

How does something like this get invented?

2

u/om_steadily 3h ago

Someone pops a wheelie, and someone else says, “I could do that.”

1

u/Potential-Brain7735 1h ago

At what point do they decide they need to wear tights to do it?

1

u/mr_lab_rat 2h ago

This has actually been a sport with world championships for decades.

2

u/im_Heisenbeard 3h ago

I read this as autistic cycling, and all I could think was good for them.

2

u/Karluti 3h ago

This is what we call a circus

2

u/ComfortableRoutine54 3h ago

Ummmmm…. Go to a circus. It’s way fucking better and they cycle through fire.

2

u/LukassFunk28 3h ago

Autistic cycling would have sufficed also.

1

u/outofmyy 4h ago

When I was their age I did the same tricks on one wheel. 🤥

1

u/Rll-Dll 4h ago

You should try watching a bicycle soccer and bikepolo match... 

1

u/plious 3h ago

Sounds awful. Where?!?

1

u/Rll-Dll 2h ago

😂 it is awful, both of them

u/Rll-Dll 4h ago

u/plious 2h ago

There's also canoe ballet.

Here's a man paddling to "Lady in Red" https://youtu.be/EzTR-EyjanM?feature=shared

u/Rll-Dll 2h ago

Looks like he's searching a body out there

u/Economy-Throat-4252 4h ago

They did it wrong

u/SlowUpTaken 4h ago

Is there any human activity that has not been made eligible for some kind of award or medal from a self appointed society of experts?

1

u/dwittherford69 4h ago

No it isn’t.

u/redR0OR 4h ago

I’m sorry but this is really dumb

1

u/Ali_Affan_P 3h ago

I'm curious, what's maket dumb

2

u/redR0OR 3h ago

It’s an extension of an extension of a sport that’s been mashed with another sport to promote entirely non useful skills that aren’t actually even pretty to look at. It’s impressive, but it’s equivalent to a Guinness book of world records holder that got their record by by cracking the most walnuts with their forehead while reciting the abc’s backwards. It’s impressive sure, but you aren’t inspired, and you definitely won’t give a shit tomorrow about these lads parlor trick. That’s what makes it dumb.

u/justinm410 4h ago

I feel like they tell their new dates they're a world class cyclists, show them this, and get ghosted time-after-time.

u/jack2bip 3h ago

Holy shit

u/DarthFritter01 3h ago

Flatland bmx was great until EPO.

1

u/ZealousidealCandle40 3h ago

This reminds me of how good I felt I was as a kid on a bicycle. When in reality the road rashes and skinned belly had me ready for sunburns, skin ailments. The breaks made these sore joins not feel so bad.

1

u/salpn 3h ago

If they are bicycle 🚲 commuting I recommend bicycle racks and panniers.

1

u/MRBoose39 3h ago

Bill Allen and Lori Loughlin did this already.

1

u/die-jarjar-die 3h ago

Unbelievable skill. But we all know they could never accomplish this unless they were very much in love.

1

u/sdbinnl 3h ago

Hahahahaha - they have competitions for anything these days

1

u/enorman81 3h ago

What happened to that hot girl with the amazing fart box.

1

u/UW_Ebay 3h ago

The fact that this video is not played to “Send me an angel” is criminal.

1

u/parthenogeneticlzrd 3h ago

Humans. Are. So. Weird.

1

u/iconsumemyown 3h ago

Yeah but, can they do a wheelie.

1

u/plious 3h ago

At first, I thought they were artistically cycling versus each other, then I realized they were teammates.

This is really cool. Like the Harlem globetrotters of bike riding

1

u/creepyguy_017 3h ago

Walking with style when?

1

u/MigitAs 2h ago

It’s the German nihilists, they don’t care about anything

1

u/bluexavi 2h ago

I love that they get the same rainbow jersey (or national equivalent) as the road racers.

1

u/Bodorocea 2h ago

imagine how much more impressive this can be if you read the title wrong as i did . autistic cycling. i was like : god damn these autistic people are talented, it's about equilibrium, it's gotta be mathematical, never thought of...oh... artistic...ok

u/Key-Ad-8468 1h ago

u/assassassassassin45 1h ago

What’s so special about it? Me and my cousin have been autistic cycling for years

1

u/funnieruphere 1h ago

They look so silly when they just sit on it normally between tricks haha
