THis method makes going up steep climbs look effortless, even the Madonna di Ghisallo. http://it.youtube.com/bikeitalian

Anyone notice that he switches to a mountain bike for the descents.

I was MORE impressed by the Mountain bike descent.

It's hard enough to wheely on the flat. But to control a bike on a MAD descent like that....:eek:

I LOVE FRIDAYS

I'm hard to please. He needs go out and do it again on a single type of bicycle.

I note he left the front wheel on for this one- while I can understand for the descent wonder why he did it for the climbs? (He took the front wheel off for the wheelie hour record.)
