Watch BMX Champ Bust Tricks on a Citibike

By their very nature, Citibikes are built for practicality and longevity. Chief engineer Bruno Gauthier says they were designed for the “urban jungle”, comparable to a Hummer or a family car, not a Porsche or a race car. Hardly the kind of bike a cyclist could be expected to bust sweet tricks with. But that didn’t stop professional BMX rider Tyrone Willams from doing just that on the streets of Brooklyn. Watch this video to see him pop wheelies, jump stairs and do all sorts of other tricks one a Citibike as much ease as a hipster uses one to bring home Whole Foods groceries. If you’ve seen any other unorthodoxed uses of Citibikes, tell us in the comments.
