Set Camera

ehm... shouldn't the motion blur be on the bike and not on the surroundings with a static camera?

Yes but luckily you can add words to any picture and post it somewhere online and assert that’s the origin.

They used the CSI enhance feature.
Some cameras are mounted on pivots and have subject tracking
- Unlikely to get locked-in and moving this quickly

It's one of those rare descendants of Vikings. The Biking.

Not to be confused with the prominent lgbtq personality "the bi king"
- A thing can be two things.

video of the ad campaign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jL4AI2kp3o

does not contain the exact picture, but definitely part of that campaign.

Finally a good picture of Bigfoot.

He is...

The most interesting mountain man in the world.

Geico caveman.

Weird Fact: The Geico Caveman commercial 'characters' ended up in their own TV series called Cavemen. It only lasted one season.

- It was super racist and Nick Kroll was in it

Bradsquatch sighting.

And he still wont sign anything.

Bigfoot riding a bike

Bigcroc. Bigfoot's consumer culture cousin.

Diogenes never died

I don't know, but they have more money to burn than I do.

I really want to know the original context of the photo. I suspect the face and hair are prosthetic and it's a younger rider doing something like a Jackass skit; like you say, the bike is easily upwards of $10k.

That's the second coming

I heard Zeus retired and wondered what he was doing now. Cycling apparently.

Us kids call it shredding the gnar.
- Gotta get your gnar on!

Pedalling with crocs sucks. I do it sometimes when I go to my cabin and need to get back to the entrance 300 metres away. It's soft, pliable and uncomfortable.

I dunno man, I pedaled on flip flops I bought from some tourist trap in Ocean City for years and it never bothered me much.

This is easily my favorite photo of the day. Why's he looking directly at the camera? Seems like he's in the middle of a pretty fast turn.

Its from a commercial, I'd link to it if I could remember what they were selling.
- That's disappointing.

Christ on a bike.

IT'S

A guy with style

Looks like AI to me.

You couldn't even look through the comments? It isn't.
- Actually at the time I commented, I only saw other people in the comments who thought the same. 🤷

I remember that commercial

Santa Claus in the off-season

In some places in the UK, this question would be casually answered with "Oh yeah that's Pedaling Patel, he's always out on a Thursday."

Rad as fuck, that's who he is!

That's probably the most real.person you'll ever see in your life..

pity it’s not real

Winter is coming

At least it's not AI slop.

I swear this image has been around for ages, way before AI could generate anything this well
- The scary/annoying part is, from now on there'll always be a little voice in our head ask: is it AI?
- yep: https://imgur.com/gallery/imagine-catching-this-on-trail-cam-is-that-you-god-tPKixSo
- It looks upscaled or something though. And did the guy always look like that? 🤔 I easily may be misremembering of course.
- If you look at the frame of the bike, around where the rear shock is, it doesn't look right. Also, the scale is off, this dude would be ridiculously tall if this was a normal sized bike. Look at the size of the seat, for example.
I'm gonna need some evidence for that.
It doesn't look like AI. The bike and everything makes sense. I can even read S-WORKS on the frame.
lol what an edit without telling people that you originally said it was AI slop without making that note in your comment
- Who, me? 😇
It's not AI, it's from the specialized EVO ad campaign like 5 years ago.
Is it?
- Look at the frame. It makes no sense. The front wheel has both disk brakes and caliper brakes, but the bars have no brake levers. The front disk with different slots on one side. I could go on. On the other hand, there is a bike that looks like this, so I'm not sure any more. That front disk is definitely not right.
But he has the right number of fingers!
I’m not sure about that, but it does have motion blur in the background, so unless it’s a fancy setup that tracks the movement of the subject, it was not an automatically triggered shot.
- Obviously it's still fake or set up to some degree.
