It sure looks to me like some sort of drone camera. The angle is higher than most car/van tops. It can’t be on some sort of pole sticking up from a bicycle unless there’s some major stabilization on the camera. I wonder who’s operating it.

I just assumed it was someone on a Penny Farthing.

the little abrupt skid-stops are interesting, they can quickly shed a ton of speed that way instead of hitting something, they make it look casual but I bet there is a lot of practice in emptier places behind that

It’s the way to stop a fixed-gear bike. Very effective - but kind of a pain when they do it in front of you.

… a drone would occasionally float over other vehicles, not just between them — but there is never anything between the camera and the road

I used to be a bike messenger and found this to be quite relaxing.

It’s more fun if you speed the video up a little.

It’s like Cocoon (1985) except without old people or aliens.
