Vulnerable Road User

As a couple of readers have sent this video along (and thanks to all), uploaded from somewhere in India, I can no longer resist posting. Whether this was a stunt of some kind, or how he even did it, or whether he is still alive today are all questions beyond my immediate grasp. One sees many odd things on Indian roads, but this ranks up there.

    So there’s a market for recumbent bicycles in India after all!

    On a serious note, is this guy that really far removed from your common or garden eyes-and-mind-off-the-road motorist fiddling with the radio while chatting with passengers?
