Nearly nude Florida man rides bike backward on Miami interstate

https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/weird/wtflorida/nearly-nude-florida-man-rides-bike-backward-on-miami-interstate/67-a78d16a4-655b-4574-8d0f-bb7864c90b5b?fbclid=IwAR15wpJXqloR0e-xM2j6uJw32jlCQ9jnGvrlfNEp6FJg0CGXZcgkEDk1aY8

MIAMI — "He comin.'"

Those are the only words tweeted to describe a video of a man in Florida riding a bicycle backward on a Miami interstate. He's wearing hot pink socks and sneakers, a headband and pink underwear – and nothing else.

Possibly not surprising is this isn't the first time the man has been spotted nearly nude and riding his bike on Interstate 95. The Miami Herald reported a sighting of the man in August 2018.

In that video, the man was wearing hot pink socks, green sneakers and "nothing but a string for underwear." He was riding a bicycle in the normal way.

And his commentary — fantastic. He makes it sound like fun to live among all these wackos.

And to the Florida Man whose antics made this moment possible, I salute you.

The only hinky part is making turns. Until you sort it out, leaning into a turn is counter-intuitive/reversed to what your mind wants you to do.

Lester Maddox was an ass, but to his credit, he kept his pants on.

Going in a straight line is easy enough, but making a turn is the tricky part, and when things generally go south. Interesting, I can only comfortably turn in one direction.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought that this was America where all men have a God given right to wear nothing but a string for underwear.
