You want me to get pics and videos of me grabbing the back of a lorry while steering with no hands at 20+mph in traffic while he is swerving to get me off?

Let me get my helmet and elbow pads

I seen a guy on rollerblades do that to a fire engine when I was younger, still mates with the guy actually.

The fire engine put on its lights and sped away, he skelped a kerb and did a Klinsmann aling the pavement. Resembled a car crash victim after it

Nice ^

Thats why I said lorries as the road I cycle along is always backed up with traffic so they never get going that fast.

What is the max speed for a budget bike tyre?

They don't particularly have one.

It's normally to do with tyre pressure, tread, grip, mud clearance etc, rather than speed

According to Section 26 of The Road Traffic Act 1988 someone "holding or getting on to vehicle in order to be towed or carried ... is guilty of an offence.”

While Article 68 of the Highway Code states cyclists must not “hold on to a moving vehicle” or “ride in a dangerous, careless or inconsiderate manner”.

Still loads of fun though

I might stop doing it then if I can actually get done for it, if I failed it would be my own stupid fault
