Man Calmly Lifts Car Out of Bicycle Path, Continues on His Merry Way

Aside from making your morning commute five minutes longer, cyclists don't have a lot of recourse in this world.

Physically, there's just not a lot that a guy in spandex can do to a driver wielding an engine belted to thousands of pound of steel. 

The combination of speed and weight differentials leads to a lot of horrible encounters between bike and car, with cars "winning" an unsurprising majority of those encounters ("winning" meaning "emerging alive" in this case).

But now, like a gladiator sent from the two-wheeled gods, a very strong cycling enthusiast exacted a small amount of revenge on morons who just do whatever they please with their automobile.

Video of a very large man dead-lifting a car parked in the middle of a bike path emerged Monday. Metro's Richard Hartley-Parkinson reported that the incident was filmed in Stockholm, Sweden, although I've been told this took place in Sao Paulo, Brazil—which is very much not Sweden.

Anyway, what we do know for sure is this man moved a sub-compact car like he was rearranging beach chairs. It appears the car's owner (possible the guy in the white shirt) may have walked in at the end to offer to move the car.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I can back ou-...welp...just pick it up then, I guess. Picking it up works, too."

The one common lament here is that the giant man didn't ring his bell twice as he rode off, which is a shame. On the other hand, the fact that this guy didn't find dead-lifting a car remarkable enough to gloat over says volumes.
