I'm fascinated by shit like this. Clearly he's an idiot, but his brain somehow thinks what he is doing is just fine. How did he arrive at that conclusion?

The frame of reference of a moving vehicle is that it feels stationary,and it's the world that is going by. So in his mind, he's just getting comfortable on his "stationary" bike. I've heard that for a lot of people who get in accidents, after the accident, they have a really hard time getting back into that feeling of sitting in a "stationary" vehicle. They are painfully aware that they a hurling through space at very high speed and that high forces are involved. It freaks them out and they have a hard time getting back in the groove of driving.

But this guy, sheesh.
