Vittorio Brumotti versus Barcelona traffic Facebook video still).PNGVideo: Vittorio Brumotti versus Barcelona traffic
Former world trials champion Vittorio Brumotti is one of the best stunt riders around – we’ve regularly featured him here on road.cc in videos such as Road Bike Freestyle or the ones he’s ridden in as an unofficial member of the Tinkoff team.
> More Vittorio Brumotti videos here
In his latest, appropriately suited and booted, he takes on the morning rush hour traffic in Catalonia’s capital Barcelona with spectacular results.
In the spot Brumotti seems to be on a hire bike – those of Barcelona’s Bicing scheme are red, as his is – but look more closely and you’ll see it’s a road bike.
The spot was filmed for Seat, maker of the Ateca 4x4 that the cyclist jumped out of to avoid the jam … but which arrives at his destination at the same time he does, no doubt due to all that larking around on rooftops.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Sadly the Boris bikes in Barcelona can only be hired by local residents because the bike hire shops didn't want to lose business.
A road bike as a city bike? Do they have the sort of Boris bikes and they just replaced them with road bikes for the shoot or are they actually renting road bikes for the masses? If yes, I want that in London!
Love the drops on the rental. Boris bikes shame on you
bloody cyclists!
nice basket though
looks a lot like my commute.
