Cannondale has released a new hardtail cross-country mountain bike – the F-Si – and has also made a video about it. The video features a certain Slovak rider – wheelie-pulling roadie, Peter Sagan.

It's well worth a watch for Sagan's bike-handling talents alone – his bunnyhopping stunt up a flight of steps is classily executed. Watch it here:

Longer before he became a household name (if that household was into cycling) for winning two green jerseys at the Tour de France, Sagan started out as a successful mountain biker. In fact he got his first nickname as a dirt rider: Terminator, because of his tendency to break frames through sheer strength.
