Wow! I guess just riding down the road is boring for him.

He makes me more proud of my Scottish heritage than just about anyone else in history! :D

He makes it look effortless. I have read up about his story and how his first youtube video got him landed in the New York Times, etc. Almost overnight fame. I hope he handles it well. Just an amazing athlete. Human beings can be so ....talented and inspiring.

Thanks for posting this Velocivixen. MacAskill is supremely talented and such fun to watch. Hadn't seen this one. I also really like the one of his 'trip' from Edinburgh to his home town in Skye: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cj6ho1-G6tw. Scotland is beautiful.

I have now watched several of his videos. I hope fame doesn't "tarnish" him. I can just imagine him as a kid riding around visualizing things thinking, "How could I ride up on that?" That Freeride, I think it's called, reminds me of Parkour only with a bike (Google Parkour if you want to know). Beaverton, where I live has a gym that specifically teaches Parkour and I've seriously thought of going.
