VIDEO: This Might Be The Greatest Bike Trick We’ve Ever Seen

Puck Pieterse just took down the final level boss of bike trickery, apparently.

The all-terrain Dutch phenom shared a hilarious video Saturday of herself riding “backward” in an Instagram post that’s blowing up the internet.

In the reel, the 24-year-old sits on the handlebars of her Canyon road bike facing the saddle. With her feet on the pedals, she cycles “in reverse.”

It’s a reel that makes you go a little cross-eyed. We struggled to figure out what was going on. It puts your head into even more of a spin when you notice Pieterse is wearing both her helmet and sunglasses the wrong way around, too.

Is this the greatest bike trick in the book?

Well, sort of.

We’d not seen it before and were suitably bemused. We certainly weren’t going to be trying to replicate it. We can barely pop a wheelie, goddammit.

Only, it turns out the joke might be on us – and any other unwitting viewer who didn’t realize this is one of the oldest pranks in the peloton.

Check out this old-school stunt, then play the video in reverse.

Pieterse’s video has been met with awe and applause. With 18,000 “likes” so far, it’s three or four times more popular than many of her racing recap photos.

How many of those impressed online fans realize it’s all fake is another matter.  Pieterse – a bike-handling ace, former mountain bike world champion, and CX and road star – certainly had us fooled.

Pieterse is currently in Spain with her Fenix-Premier Tech teammates, laying the base for her cyclocross season.

We presume she’ll be riding forward when she’s racing for the holeshot.
