Gas canister and watermelon balancing cyclist YouTube stillVideo: Brazilian cyclist balances gas canister AND watermelon on his head
The video we posted yesterday showing a cyclist in São Paulo, Brazil trackstanding while balancing a gas canister in his head got you talking. Now, another has emerged showing the same man riding not just with a gas canister, but also a watermelon perched on his noggin.
The clip below was spotted by Twitter user Scotbot, who tweeted a link to a version on YouTube. The original was uploaded to the video-sharing site in August 2013 by Gil Cesar Cavalini, who lives São Paulo.
The bike appears to be the same in both videos, although in the one we featured yesterday, posted to Facebook by Aecio Rullian Freire Barros on 22 December, it now sports a rear luggage rack – not that we imagine that ever gets much use.

Wouldn't stay on there for more than about 30 seconds on Britain's bumpy roads. Not sure Brazil is known for its flawless tarmac either.

Don't think so, @usedtobefaster. There are loads of videos of this chap on YT. https://www.youtube.com/results?q=botijao+na+cabeca+bicicleta
Is it just me or is anyone else smelling a rat on this one? If it's real then bravo, if it's not then bravo for the video editors skill.
