“Bumbling” is not a word to be tossed around lightly, as it essentially means that you are an incompetent idiot. Sadly, in cases of someone who posts their bike atop a live electric fence, there are few words that can describe them more accurately. Of course, the bumbling doesn’t really kick in until they realize they are going to have to somehow get that sucker detached from said fence without shocking the living crap out of themselves.
Let’s hope it goes well for them. Prayers up!
Cyclists Pry A Bike Off Of A Live Electric Fence
While we stand by our one-word description of the hijinks you just witnessed, for those looking for a bit more substance behind all this fun, the YouTube description is about as concise as you’d expect it to be:
Whilst pedalling today my mate Paul went to put his bike over a fence. Half way though he realised that it was electric! So he dropped it on the fence. This is a video of him and my mate Al trying to get it off! Please excuse the swearing and oh yes by the way the clicking sound is the electric pulsing!!
The next time you see a cyclist blow through a red light because the laws only apply to them when they’re taking up the entire road in front of you, at least you’ll always have this video to laugh at. And it’s all thanks to that one friend in every group who would rather capture an embarrassing ordeal on video rather than lift a single finger for the cause. God bless them.
