me and a couple of mates figured it would be a good idea to attempt to hire a Boris Bike in South London early one morning, drive about 800 miles south to one of France's most iconic climbs, Alpe D'Huez, climb it, and return the bike in under 24 hours...
This has been attempted once before: roadcyclinguk....

*no damage was done to the bikes, they were returned as we received them*

Hi Guys! Hope you enjoy the video! I know this has been attempted before, I'm not saying I'm the first person to ride a boris bike up alpe d'huez, but I'm PREEETTTY sure I'm the first to do it in under 24 hours... (the guys who did it for charity were just over the time limit). Anyway, let me know if you have anymore crazy ideas, and if they're crazy or random enough, I'll do it 😉 peace! ✌️
