How can he get pics whilst riding a bike down a steep hill with a paper bag on his shoulder asleep? He will surely crash.

to be fair, i could set up a camera on a pre timer or video it... but i'd have to go walk down the bottom of the hill first and set it up, then walk back up and get on my bike.
Ironically (Coincidently) - this same bit of road is where I fell off my bike racing someone and broke my middle finger pretty bad.

God I wish i could go back to the years where 18th gear = Extreme Speed... and wheel spinning in 1st / 2nd gear made you look like a god

That is what you get for being awake.

Falling asleep on a bike is pretty extreme, maybe you had a mild case of narcolepsy

Quite true...
I had reached terminal velocity on the rotation of my pedals... in 18th gear, they could not rotate any faster... wind resistance and physics prevented this... I was tucked down slipstream... then hit a bump which caused a foot to slip off and BOOM! next I'm tumbling down the road
I would've won that race! Was racing him for his scalextric set too he got my snes

My eyes keep shutting and i have to force them open again.
I've not slept at work, since I was a paper boy I used to get to the downhill sections i knew quite well and shut my eyes and have a quick nap... Was always risky, as i could potentially hit a curb or something, but I usually found if I completely dropped off my hand would slip off a handle bar or a foot off the pedal which would wake me up enough to regain control.
How do you sleep whilst on a bike? Come on noo!
Quite easy... was this long downhill straight section. Used to just coast it and close my eyes. get a few mins sleep.
I'm sorry but what a lot of shit You may be able to close your eyes for a few seconds, but falling asleep, whilst sitting up on a bike for a matter of moments is utter garbage Come on to fuck.

Did I tell you this was my bike?
Stabilisers mate... You should look them up... extra drag on the straights, but over 50% more stable in the twisties.
