I've seen this video before but it was worth watching again. They make a big deal about that being an R1, but he probably would have been better off in that traffic on a 125 or 250. Put a string of 5 or 6 of those little bikes together and then strap a GIANT box on the back of each one, as big as you can imagine bike carrying then add about 30%. Now imagnie this string of tiny and nimble yet overloaded bikes and weave them through traffic like this guy was doing and you have an idea of what Rio in Brazil is like.
