They say you never forget how to ride a bike, but after watching German cyclist Viola Brand perform, we’re starting to have our doubts! She makes it look far more challenging than we remember.
Viola is a world-renowned athlete specializing in artistic cycling. Over the years, she has honed her skills, winning multiple national and European championships, along with three silver medals at the World Championships!
She dreams of the Olympic Games recognizing artistic cycling as an official sport so she can one day compete on that grand stage.
At the Unibike Expo 2019 in Istanbul, Turkey, Viola wowed a crowd that had no idea what they were about to witness.
She began by pedaling in a wide circle before seamlessly transitioning into a series of breathtaking tricks. First, she stood on the handlebars with her arms extended, balancing effortlessly as the bike continued moving.
Then, she rode the bike backward, transforming it into a unicycle, and her performance only became more impressive from there. In short, she’s absolutely incredible, and we are in awe of her skills!
Viola revealed that it took her seven years to master her favorite stunt—doing a handstand on the handlebars!
Watch her amaze the crowd in the video below, and don’t forget to share this jaw-dropping performance!
