Road STP (Seattle to Portland, 207 miles) and this guy was riding what I believe is a BMX frame at its core, drop bars and a position I can only describe as “Downward Dog” like.
First time I did STP there was a woman who did the full ride on an upright 3speed internal gear bike. Super impressive.
Not gonna lie, this guy is giving r/schizophreniarides meets xbiking vibes. But it’s impressive to see nonetheless

Flat pedals. And what the fuck is in the Morton’s salt canister?

I think it is not a BMX but a Bike Friday. What a ride.
Edit: It appears they removed the steering mast that’s why the bars are so slammed, my back hurts just looking.

If you’re gonna do STP, either do two day and party hard at the overnight, do one day screaming fast, or ride something outrageous. Anything else is just boring.

STP on that setup is a whole different kind of suffering, but respect the commitment to the bit.

207 miles and really hunched down, neck twisted up to see the road.
Whoever they are on that backbreaker should be having their milk everyday.
