Danny Macaskill shot to overnight fame in 2009 with his first youtube video featuring him performing stunts on a bicycle in an urban setup. Since then his fan following has increased manifold and with it a respect for the obscure sport of 'street trials'. Read the link below from the National Geographic magazine which nominated him as one of the 'adventurers of the year 2012'!

In fact even before reading the article watch the youtube video which shows his death defying ride along the Cuillin mountain range in Scotland. It will give you a very good perspective of his talent at elevating a simple activity of bicycling into something that is truly breathtaking!
