Cyclist tackles 205m challenge with no brakes or gears
Biking with no brakes or gears
Location: Swiss Alps
Patrick Seabase took on the hardest challenge of his career
cycling 205 miles and climbing 8,500 meters in a day with one fixed gear
For his latest stunt titled "UnBRAKEable" he crossed five mountains
and faced unpredictable temperatures, steep descents, and harsh headwinds
(SOUNDBITE) (English) PATRICK SEABASE, SAYING:
"The main difference between a road bike and a track bike is, there's only one gear, on the track bike there's no brakes, no physical handbrakes and as soon as the wheel turns, the pedal turns as well. So you're basically constantly pedaling. // But will power is the most important thing."
