Re: Cycling Youtube of the Day

Is a third "video of the day" allowed?

Totally kickass eight-year old is less out of breath climbing the Col de la Colombiere than Lance Armstrong. At look at the speed! (I don't think I can climb that quickly.)

Re: Cycling Youtube of the Day

What about this one? I heard it's worth chf2000-

Maybe the creator can now afford to pay the copyright fee and get the soundtrack back up

Rather then pay the copyright fee I think the creator found a website that was not so copyright anal as youtube!!!


Anyone know if it is possible to embed Vimeo videos to the forum?

Great for Zurich place spotting in the Wiedikon area. First 40 seconds is part of my daily commute. Like to see him do a wheelie with a kiddie trailer attached.
