    Hi Guys! Hope you enjoy the video! I know this has been attempted before, I'm not saying I'm the first person to ride a boris bike up alpe d'huez, but I'm PREEETTTY sure I'm the first to do it in under 24 hours... (the guys who did it for charity were just over the time limit). Anyway, let me know if you have anymore crazy ideas, and if they're crazy or random enough, I'll do it 😉 peace! ✌️
