6/12/2003: Rhine high-wire act

The gent on the seat is Johann Traber, and he decided to cross the Rhine by bike in an interesting way. The gent on the bike is his nephew, Peter Traber.

What the picture doesn't show is how they spun around the line 14 times to set some sort of record. You know, spun in such a way that the guy at the bottom was temporarily at the top and upside down.

How they do that I'm not sure. It seems like it would be impossible unless you were actually attached to the wire.
