Cyclist effortlessly 'drafts' behind bus in risky maneuver

An unusual video has emerged of a cyclist using a slip stream from a bus to glide effortlessly along a road in the UK.

The footage, captured in Hull on Thursday, shows the cyclist 'drafting' the bus at some speed - right up close - barely peddling at all.

"After visiting the hospital on Thursday 24th December I returned to the car. As I set off and approached the traffic lights the lad on his bike in front set off. I couldn't believe how close he was to the rear of the bus! So I asked my partner to film it", the filmer wrote online.
