This rickety velodrome appears to offer feats of the death-defying nature. There’s no description of location, nationality, or whether this guy is simply on his daily commute, but it speaks volumes about the unnecessary safety precautions our race tracks here in the U.S. are saddled with. The only thing that could possibly make this cooler would be for him to be high-fiving the audience as he passes.
If Top Gear would make this part of their Put a Star in an Ordinary Car segment every week their viewership would quadruple.
UPDATE: Now with video!

  1. Wow, given that the color and design of the railing don't match, I'm guessing there are insane velodromii all over Eastasia. Has anyone ever seen one of these in person?
    Do they charge extra to watch one of these guys slow down below V<sub>critical</sub>?
