looks like someone has a death wish- wonder what he could do with his speed in an real race?

What was the rider doing on what looks like an interstate anyway?

[zoom-zoom]

*psst* It's not real. I saw this a few years back. It's a funny hoax video.

Oh, oops! I think I'm going to use it in my physics class anyway...before I tell them it's not real. We can use the marks on the highway and a stopwatch and get an average velocity. A first day activity.

I think that's Pfunk12 trying to take a short cut on her morning commute!

Hey, I recognize those road names--Silas Creek and Stratford Road are in my old stomping ground in Winston-Salem. But IRL it doesn't look anything like it does in that fake video!

my nephew died that way. In a chase on a bike with cops in a car.. etc... just saying, it does happen..

[kenyonchris]

Yeah, they showed that to us in my police bike training class (IPMBA)...it is fake.
BTW, it so never works, although it does happen. And while bikes may be able to go where cars cannot, they can't out travel radios. A bike that tries to run from the police seldom wins.
NOW, I have chased vehicles down on my patrol bike, pulled them over (by flashing my flashlight (no police lights on my bike) and thumping on the trunk. I got a DWI that way. AWESOME. At briefing the next night Sgt. says, "well, Princess here (what they called me) got a DWI on the BIKE last night. You guys think you might be able to find a few from cars?"

Chris, were you clipped in?

How in the world did you manage holding onto the flash light and riding next to a drunk driver? Sheesh. Your cool factor just notched up a bit in my estimation.
