Supposedly we are in the middle of summer. However, the weather keeps making it feel like it’s nothing like that. In fact only the other day I got a proper drenching on a ride home from work. This amount of getting wet brings me neatly to the recent story of a teenager supposedly riding on water to promote a charity ride.
If he really was riding on water, this would obviously be useful for those damp rides to and from work, although there is much speculation that it involved a platform just under the surface. Nevertheless this story managed to get around the news a fair amount, although it’s not as impressive as it seemed. Several months ago a similar stunt was pulled by a different group of people, including the editor of Singletrack magazine.
So once again, who got the idea first? And who does it better? (my vote’s for the more rough-water appropriate mountain bike for open water riding).
