pacovl46 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) He must have been seriously fit, if he was confident enough to pull this off on a mountain bike. He's probably a member of the bike race community and needed the cash for his EPO treatment! Let's do a crack down on the bike community! ;-) Edited November 4, 2013 by pacovl46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
