Amazing cycling video "outlaw in Lycra

From this Canadian Specialized Site they have a short video clip of a
cyclist who was absolutely zipping along at a good pace.
But I don't suggest anyone ride their bicycles on a busy freeway anywhere.

Amazing. Either that was downhill or he was juiced and traffic was slow,
but that guy is nuts.
Great video.

the video seemed to speed up unnaturally right before the end, where the guy
on the bike got by the truck....

*cough* CGI *cough*

It's a humourous clip with no reflection in reality (assuming it's the
same clip I've seen before, which it sounds like it is).

Yeah, i agree. But the entire thing seems to speed up...make me wonder if he
had a lot more time than the video makes it seem he did, thus making it less
dangerous. Slightly.

I can accept that. The Interstate looks flat and he is flying....I couldn't
really tell if he was pedalling on my screen....

Looked at it again... the truck doing the cut off seems to move at a
normal speed for that situation and going from a dead stop.
