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…

Vilner Presents the Stingray of Aprilia Motorcycles


For its next project, Bulgarian design house Vilner has once again ventured into the world of motorcycles with the full-customization of an Aprilia Tuono, which it has cleverly named (from a marketing standpoint) the Stingray.

The styling transformation encompasses a series of changes, including a brand new front fender, redesigned headlamps and turning signals with LED units, new side spoilers with two vents each, a re-sculptured tank and tinted rear lights.

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…

ATV-Versus-Cow

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.
