Riding a Bicycle Backwards and Playing with Your Phone; What Could Possibly go Wrong?

The verdict on whether this incident was staged or not remains open, but we're going to assume that you will at least have a laugh or two after watching the video of a bicyclist riding backwards while texting on his cell phone.

Naturally, it didn't take long for a scooter (going suspiciously slow…) to appear on the road, and well, what you suspected from the beginning of the clip happened.

Container Truck Fall Right in Front of One Very Lucky Motorcycle Rider

Rest assured, if the scooter rider featured in this clip had not been able to back up a couple of feet before the container truck tipped over, we wouldn't be showing you this video footage shot from a nearby security camera.

Then again, if he wasn't in such a hurry to sprint through the traffic light in front of the cars waiting on the zebra crossing, he wouldn't have found himself in this life-threatening position, would he…

Uncle Jim's Rowdy Snow Mobile Causes a Mini Avalanche

Sometimes us humans think we can conquer mother nature with our mechanical contraptions, but that's clearly not the case.

A one Uncle Jim, and whom we assume to be his nephews, went out to play around in the snow with their rides. When the former tried to climb a slope, he seems to have triggered a mini avalanche that sent both the rider and his snowmobile rolling down the hill.

Unmarked NYPD Police Car Chases and Pulls Over Bicyclist

We are not saying that police officers shouldn't pull over a bicyclist if the rider breaks the law, but it's really not that often that we see it happening, even more so on film.

According to the YouTube poster, the bicyclist ran through a red light at the intersection of 6th Avenue and West Houston Street and was caught by an unmarked New York Police Department Chevy Caprice sedan.

The bicyclist is said to have received a US$270 (€208) fine. Head past the break to watch the video.

ATV Versus Cow, Guess Who Loses…

Argentinian cross-country champion Lucas Bonetto who finished in seventh place in the quads category at the 2012 Dakar Rally had an unfortunate encounter with a…cow while riding his all-terrain vehicle (ATV) on a dirt road.

The 21-year old rider captured the crash with the large animal on video through his head-mounted camera. Luckily, Bonetto says he didn't suffer any injuries. As for the cow, we can't say as it seems to have fled the scene right after the accident...

Check out the footage in the video right past the break.

Angry Woman Thrashes on Motorcyclist During One of the Craziest Road Rage Incidents Ever!

If you still don't believe that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, then we'd advise you to take a look at the following video that was shot in Brazil.

We can honestly say that it’s one of the craziest and most dangerous incidents of road rage that we have ever seen. Period.

Reports emerging from Brazil say that, according to the police report, the said incident took place on February 23. It all started when a woman driving a Fiat Palio Adventure allegedly cut off the motorcyclist at a red light.

From there on, a passenger in a following vehicle catches the entire episode on film. Apparently, some words and/or looks were exchanged and the motorcyclist kicks the front fender of the Fiat. That was a bad move because the woman immediately runs her car onto the motorcyclist knocking him down! Sounds crazy right? Wait, you haven’t heard the half of it!

The angry motorcyclist then stands up and walks towards the Fiat – we're going to assume that he wasn't planning to turn the other cheek yet.

So what does the woman do? She drives straight onto the man who lands on the car's bonnet clinching onto the mirror for his life, while the woman steers the Fiat into stationary vehicles and on to a parked car on the other side of the road!

By some kind of miracle, no one, not even the shaken up motorcyclist was hurt during the Brazilian woman's insane rage.

But just to be sure, the motorcyclist quickly got up and took the keys off the woman's vehicle before she could run him over again…

You can watch the incident unfold in the video after the break. We've also added a TV news clip from Brazil, so if you know Portuguese and we missed something, the comments section is all yours.

Hat tip to Commanche!

Trashy Payback: Motorcyclist Throws Garbage Back Into Car

You've seen it done by others many times, and perhaps even done it yourself at one point or another. We're talking about littering from the car.

Usually, there's not much one can do about it most of the times, but one scooter driver somewhere in Asia took matters in his own hands when he observed a vehicle passenger throwing out some trash from the window.

What did he do? He stopped over on the side of the road, picked it up, then approached the sedan and graciously threw it in back to its rightful owner! Watch the video after the break.

Motorcycle vs. Car Drift Battle 2 debuts, someone called the cops

We all know sideways is slow. Kicking the tail out and sending the rear tires blazing may take a heaping helping of skill, but it won't win you any races. That doesn't make it any less awesome, however.

Icon has gone through the trouble of crafting yet another drift battle between motorcycle and car, and this time, two specially built Triumph Speed Triple bikes throw down against a 550-horsepower Ford Mustang Cobra piloted by a fictional officer of the law. The trio commence tearing through the rolling hills of mythical High Plains County before facing off.

Admittedly, the drift scene isn't typically our bag of tricks, but this is one of the more entertaining videos we've seen in a good while. Between the bark of the FoMoCo V8 and the wail of the big-bore Triumph Triples, there's enough audio glory on hand to keep us up at night. Throw in some excellent tunes and better videography, and you've got us hooked. Watch the video all the way through to the end for some hair-raising outtakes, including at least one roll over. Hit the jump to check it out.
