ehm... shouldn't the motion blur be on the bike and not on the surroundings with a static camera?

Yes but luckily you can add words to any picture and post it somewhere online and assert that’s the origin.

They used the CSI enhance feature.

Some cameras are mounted on pivots and have subject tracking

Unlikely to get locked-in and moving this quickly

It's one of those rare descendants of Vikings. The Biking.

Not to be confused with the prominent lgbtq personality "the bi king"

video of the ad campaign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jL4AI2kp3o

does not contain the exact picture, but definitely part of that campaign.

Finally a good picture of Bigfoot.

Weird Fact: The Geico Caveman commercial 'characters' ended up in their own TV series called Cavemen. It only lasted one season.

It was super racist and Nick Kroll was in it

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Wasn't that, like, the whole premise? That in a world where "cavemen" (apparently neanderthals?) exist alongside humans as we know them into the present day, "It's so easy, a caveman could do it" becomes racist abuse?

I guess the best you could do with that premise are a series of Very Special Episodes, but I bet that's not what happened. I didn't watch the show, like most people I was like "This isn't going to make a show worth seeing.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This isn't going to make a show worth seeing.

You weren't wrong

The show earned an extremely negative reception, becoming regarded as one of the worst television shows of all time.

I don't know, but they have more money to burn than I do.

[–] egrets@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

I really want to know the original context of the photo. I suspect the face and hair are prosthetic and it's a younger rider doing something like a Jackass skit; like you say, the bike is easily upwards of $10k.

I heard Zeus retired and wondered what he was doing now. Cycling apparently.

Pedalling with crocs sucks. I do it sometimes when I go to my cabin and need to get back to the entrance 300 metres away. It's soft, pliable and uncomfortable.

Christ on a bike.

This is easily my favorite photo of the day. Why's he looking directly at the camera? Seems like he's in the middle of a pretty fast turn.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Its from a commercial, I'd link to it if I could remember what they were selling.

In some places in the UK, this question would be casually answered with "Oh yeah that's Pedaling Patel, he's always out on a Thursday."

Rad as fuck, that's who he is!
