We Got Another Winner!

Someone told me to cross post this to the Commuting forum.

Just a short video clip to put a smile on your face.
Sorry if this is a repost.

Gotta admit that watching those crazy Canuckistanis is one of the few things that makes flying bearable these days. Thanks for posting this!

This happened for real to Fred A. Birchmore (Fred the First).
When Fred was on his first round the world tour (back in the 30s) Fred was in Tuscan region of Italy, he noticed that he kept passing cyclists with numbers on their backs. When Fred reached the hill town he was greeted by the entire village, Fred had won the race.

Fred's bicycle "Bucephalus" is now in the Smithsonian Institute.
