I discovered what's going on here, and it's even madder than I realised. Known 'as going kamikaze' people wait for lorries to slow down, usually at speedups, then latch on, on modified bikes with no pedals, at the top of the hill they let go and speed back down thebogotapost.com/antioquian-t...

I've Zimmed up my bike...Found the flag while having a clear out, I'll fly it for a while. I had a Senegalese one a few years ago, and sometimes drivers would pass by grinning and hooting their horns. One guy was filming!
