Bicycle slapstick

A scene from Jacques Tati's 'Jour de Fete':

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emSnZvoSfeE


Pretty bad film-to-video and bad soundtrack (dubbed into Spanish??) which doesn't really matter as Tati's films were essentially silent. I have not seen this one before, but it's going on my must-see list.
