I wonder how fast he was going?

sebhockey · 12-22-2007, 06:31 PM

That has to be fake, no way can someone pedal that fast

i know this guy muscles... long story short he was about to die at 17 yrs old from a heart issue. i dont know what exactly and the doctor told him he has less than one year to live. if he gets into shape he will probably live longer. guy lived probably 10 miles from his work. he rode his bike every day to and from and worked out at the gym before and after work for years. dude got huge.. we have lots of hills here so riding around is really a lot of work. anyways..... he ended up with some really cool bike (i know nothing about bikes sorry for my ignorance) and he would literally pass cars on the freeway on the way home. (it was downhill) speed limit 55 mph. now if you see sirens in your rear view you would slow down right so maybe this guy really did it he didnt pass the semis going that fast. if you tell me its fake you will ruin my christmas........

409industries · 12-22-2007, 10:06 PM

uhh yeah does anyone else think thats fake too? like those powerade ads where the guy jumps over the raised bridge gap? etc. etc.

The comments suggested it was an ad for specialized bikes.

kylelikewhoa · 12-22-2007, 10:21 PM

Fake or not, that was an awesome video!

Blix666 · 12-23-2007, 09:24 AM

the end is the only part that i think looks fake. not only that, but i SERIOUSLY doubt that any cop would've tried to make it between those two trucks like that.

It's a viral promo for a bike company.. it's as real as the Gatorade commercials. i.e. not.

The "Outlaw in Lycra" clip, directed by Dave Laden for Teak Motion Visuals, shows what appears to be aerial news footage of a high-speed highway chase, but rather than two cars being involved, police cruisers are in hot pursuit of an especially fast cyclist. Connelly says Corbis' original clip featured one police car chasing a vehicle, but, after some wizardry in post, one of the cars was transformed into another police car, and the "outlaw" biker was digitally plopped onto the highway.
