Every now and again you come across one of those videos featuring a wildly talented athlete who seemingly possesses superhuman reflexes and luck. There are moments early on in this video when you're rightfully thinking "it can't get any crazier than this", and then it just escalates.

A true champion can pull off the glorious victory with any gear. Even a spectator's after their bike breaks down.

Ryan Williams pulls off the kind of stunt that looks like a gamer just spammed all of the buttons. Only took him 20 tries and months of preparation.

Honestly both riders in this have serious skills. That cop was just committed to not letting the guy get away. He stuck to him like glue!

The entitlement is VERY strong with this driver, but the restraint on the part of the biker is HEROIC. Just our kind of Fail right here. Gotta love when an annoyingly entitled driver who tries to lecture a cyclist, ends up failing miserably.

A luxurious, Peloton indoor exercise bicycle goes for $1,995 these days. I don't know the first thing about whether that's a reasonable cost for the equipment provided. If anyone does, please comment with your insights. Pedaling onwards, what I do know is how their commercials come across, to me: and that is a sleek, sky-high marketing campaign to the deep pockets of the penthouse class.
I mean, there are moments in particular commercials, where this bike is being used in what resembles a penthouse. If you have the money for time in a penthouse, why not throw a costly piece of shiny, exercise gear in there while you're at it. That being said, Twitter user, @ClueHeywood took it upon himself to make a sardonic mockery of the whole show. His resulting tweets are making waves of laughs on Twitter, as his followers count continues to climb. Job well done, sir!

A man riding a rental bike was filmed being tackled by police right before crossing into President Obama's motorcade in New York City. And he seemed like he was having such a nice bike ride before this happened, too. According to NBC New York he was cuffed and given a summons for disorderly conduct because he did not stop when police asked him to.

The first bit of the Megavalanche is really more about dodging all the fallen racers squirming in the slush to get back on their bikes. Jamie Nicoll shows that’s no easy task, as he goes down twice in the first two minutes of the mass-start downhill. Nicoll still managed a 7th place finish.
