I think we have all seen this, but it is fun to watch someone else doing it.

I might walk it, but I'm afraid I would start staring down and then ride that way!

Great video! But I would never do that now, maybe when I was young and not afraid of heights.

Not sure how wide the trail is, camera lens may be deceiving at times making it look barely wide enough for the bike. If you look closely much of the trail has double tracks indicating 4 wheel vehicles have passed on it.
That being said, I hope he rode it with a parachute strapped on his back.

I agree with you

I've seen footage of trucks loaded to the max traveling that road, with people walking next to it.
When they encounter an on coming vehicle one of them will back up to the nearest wide spot,
so that they can pass one another. I have also seen a driver bail out, just before the truck
and everything in it went over and down the cliff. I will try to find the video.

This is a highland road video, that shows the boys from Top Gear, trying some of them out.
The following videos are good too.

And I thought rush hr traffic was bad .

I'll stick with double lane highways and quiet country roads .

Ice road truckers did a summer series a few years back in India. Some of the roads they were on looked similar. Seems over there, the horn and flailing arms solve most traffic situations.

Just think of the people building the road. Not for me.

I thought the same thing when I watched the video.

I wonder how many workers fell to their death making this road.
