Yeah, that's all a bit folksy..... the Morris Dancing of bicycle dance  ;D. Sorry to be critical, but the real bicycle ballet is surely artistic cycling.

Very European (http://youtu.be/Y9mJ2hXryGc)

And very Japanese (http://youtu.be/Zjo-zryES5I).

An Irish lady too  :D

Pretty remarkable balance and talent, there, Pete!  Years and years of practice, I'd imagine. Thanks for sharing!

Best,

Dan.

[For the gear freaks]

They also ride very special bikes as well. Straight forks (completely straight), 1:1 fixed gear, special flat kicked-up saddle, one-piece handle-bar and stem with a special shape. They all help with the balance, control and unique postures involved.
