Bengaluru never fails to surprise—this time, a unicyclist weaving through the chaos of Outer Ring Road (ORR) traffic has caught everyone’s attention. A viral video circulating on social media shows a man, wearing a helmet and backpack, effortlessly balancing on a single wheel as he glides past cars and buses with remarkable ease.
Shared by the Instagram account “Bengaluru Visuals,” the clip quickly gained traction, with the caption asking, “Is this the future of Bengaluru commutes or just next-level risky?” Online reactions have been mixed—some are in awe of his balance and confidence, while others highlight the obvious dangers of navigating Bengaluru’s notorious traffic on just one wheel.
People have reacted to the viral video in the comments section. “Bangalore is not for beginners,” wrote a user. “One unclosed manhole and we have another episode of heegu unte,” said another user.
A third user commented, “In his mind he is living in US or Europe but on small pothole will bring him in ‘Namma Bengaluru’.”
A fourth person said, “India living in 2025 bro after coming from China living in 2050.”
The ORR, known for its relentless gridlocks and bumper-to-bumper congestion, has seen its fair share of bizarre moments, but this one takes things to a whole new level. Recently, another Bengaluru traffic incident went viral when a man named Pathik booked a ride on Porter to get to work due to long wait times on Ola and Uber. He shared his experience in a post on X and it went viral.
