Amazingly skilful driving.  The barge effort proves he's 100% confident he can put the car where he wants it.
There's plenty of tyre marks showing he'd had some practice runs, as you would.
It would be interesting to know how you go about blocking off all those streets, including the iconic Golden Gate bridge, in daylight.  And what it would cost.
Would also like to know how many cameras there were, including the one in the wheel well!
Interesting to see the "hood": (as they call it) flex on the landings.
That's one set of Pirellis for that vid, I'd reckon.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Apparently the bridge was closed for renovation/maintenance and so hardly anyone was in the city so they took advantage of the situation.
