Dragon flip flops are so good, I'll only use shoes if it's very cold out or if I need to walk or run a good distance mid-ride.
Why would I watch a whole 18 minute of some bloke riding a bike on the streets? I watched a few bits here and there. Seriously stupid. Good for you that you didn't get hurt. Should I post hour long videos of people riding a motorcycle in t-shirts, flip-flops, and helmetless, and then claim it somehow proves it is safe?
Or that the rest of the nonsense you spew is true because you managed to video yourself riding a bike for 18 minutes?
And this is the second time you compare yourself to a professional bike rider. The first time - on your old bike - you compared yourself to Cavendish, this time it's Pantani.
Since you're so infatuated with those riders, maybe look at their footwear and you will notice that it's pretty tight. And, no, you still need to look up the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Good for you. See my above comment about riding a motorcycle helmetless in a tee-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops.
