Hi Santora56
If he was a tv magician I’d say there’s a join behind one of the orange ribbons.
However, I’m still wondering why he did it! 
j.i.
Simple he thinks it looks cool to have a bike through your top lip 
there must be a gap in the frame, he just slipped his mouth thru that gap.
ingenius.. :roll:
and why did he do it? to get his picture taken. mission acomplished.
I saw a TV program sometime ago called something Bizare something or other.They showed a whole procession of these fellows with all types of objects piercing their cheeks. It was part of their religous faith to show how the gods they worship protect them.The stranger the object the stronger their devotion.They claimed to be in a trance( though I suspect shock is more likely) Many of them do this annually for years.Many others also did stuff like beat themselves over the head and attempted to piecrce their abdomens with swords which were unable to penetrate their skin due to their deity’s protection ( and the fact they weren’t trying very hard) :roll:
My explanation is Photoshop. Too wierd.
It may be a photoshop thing, but there is a festival in southeast Asia, particularly Thailand, where people pierce themselves with all kinds of objects (I’ve seen chairs, massive swords etc.) during a religious ceremony. I heard about this festival when I was in Phuket a few summers ago. Here is a link to a very cursory description.
true, people do pierce themselves with all sorts of things, but, this guy has a bike-frame going thru his mouth, there is no way he could have done that with an intact entire frame, unless of course he unscrewed the frame first, pierced his mouth, and then screwed the bike back together. I also don’t really think this is photoshop-work, i’m sure this pic went around the media, too many people there too, a prosession going on. naaa, it’s as i said it was, and i will now hear no more about it.
I was going to say something, but…well…nevermind
There was a guy in India who lifted great weights
with his penis. Kool!
I met another guy who had raised his arm in the air
twenty years before and never lowered it. Slept that way.
It had fused straight up, couldn’t bend his
elbow. Clutched in his atrophied fist he held
a stone from the bed of the Ganges.
I asked him about it and he reached up with
his left arm, pried open his fingers,
pointed to the stone, then wrote with a
pencil on a matchbox (he had also taken
a vow of silence): ‘God!’
Then he laughed and laughed.
indians are weird… 
How!
quite!
I’ll bet we were thinking the same thing. I almost posted a smart remark and thought better of it. 
Well you know what they say about great minds…although, you know, nano, one should never think better of EVER posting a smart remark. Smart remarks are…well…SMART 
I’m with amar on this one… simple visual trick performed with a simple physical alteration of the bicycle.
Well, having Googled I can tell you that we were all wrong.
It appears it was the result of an horriffic accident when he got too close to the action while watching the ‘Tour de France’ near the Massif Central this summer. Apparently the paramedics said that if the front wheel hadn’t come off at the critical moment he would have been killed outright. An emergency team was on hand to cut the spectator free but he later said he was such a fan of cycle racing he would wear the frame with pride. He is planning on sending the pedals to President Bush as a message of peace to the world.
The rider walked away unharmed.

j.i.
I get a page not found error at that link… I still think it is a hoax… it is physically impossible for that portion of the bicycle to get into that portion of his anatomy unless he held the bike while his split lip healed… seems a bit much to ask, even for 15 minutes of fame. 
This can be explained simply using quantum physics. You see, there is a small–extremely small, but positive–probability that the molecules in the frame’s top tube momentarily went in opposite directions, creating a gap in the tube. There is also a small–extremely small, but positive–probability that during this separation the man’s cheek entered this gap. Multiplying these probabilities together, we get a number so mindbogglingly small that the event was certain to happen.
Isn’t this all explained in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy?

Are you saying that he got Lanced!
