'Only in New York': Man Rides Bike With TV on His Head

A man had to confirm he wasn’t seeing things after spotting a cyclist balancing a TV on their head in Brooklyn, New York.

Video shared to Instagram by Ramelo Adonis shows the impressive display of balance.

The man tells Adonis the TV is 45 inches and then asks him if he would like him to “spin around” for the camera. The man then mounts his bicycle with his feet and continues to balance the TV.

“Only in New York man,” Adonis says as the man rides for the camera with his feet balancing on the bike seat and handlebar.

Adonis said that he noticed the man while driving and had to pullover to document.

“[I] saw him ride by and he was in my vision and then he wasn’t,” Adonis told Storyful. “I was astonished [and thought] this can’t be real.” Credit: @youngcassius.clay via Storyful
