The new Danny MacAskill bike freestyle film looks like your typical Scotland tourism video until the 34-second mark when he does an aerial front flip off a wall at Edinburgh Castle.

A week ago Monday I wrote a post about a dozen Cranksgiving bike rides rolling out around the U.S. this month to collect Thanksgiving items for local food banks.

So far, 16 U.S. states have put 3-foot passing laws on the books to protect bicycle riders.
The legislation introduced Monday by Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal Minister Bill Estabrooks has other requirements as well ….
