Artistic cycling: if you haven't heard of it, let us introduce you to Viola Brand. She's a 26-year-old professional artistic cyclist who does things on a bike that shouldn't be possible and makes them look easy.
But don't just take our word for it. Competing in the 2017 UCI Indoor Cycling World Championships in Dornbirn, Austria, Brand hopped on her bike and put on a show that you won't be able to believe. No, seriously — she was popping off stunts we can barely even name: backward, no-handed wheelies; handstands on the seat and the handlebars; mesmerising one-wheeled spin moves. And it was all set and synced to an enchanting soundtrack, combining strength, grace, and coordination into a performance that's beautiful to watch. Judging by the 13.8 million views on the video, we think the rest of the world agrees! Brand is a European champion [1] and has come in second at Worlds, according to her Instagram, and when you watch the video above, you'll see why. Get ready to be blown away.
