    And you thought courier riders took risks...


    This video of a biker on his daily commute through Moscow's rush hour will make those of you who have endured a walking-pace grind into work open-mouthed with disbelief (and probably more than a little jealous).

    We've brought you stories in the past of the erratic state of both Moscow's roads and its drivers, so this chap's riding to work in a way that would be deemed reckless if you rode like it on Grand Theft Auto is jaw-slackeningly extraordinary.

    We're not, of course, defending driving like this - but it is impressive stuff.

    Mad - completely, certifiable in fact. The worrying thing is, that you just know that it is a daily occurrence for him.

    Lang may yer lum reek!
