An unknown individual launched a “Vélo’h” from the Adolphe bridge in Luxembourg City. Rather than landing in the Alzette valley below, the bike found itself suspended from the top of a tree under the bridge.

The peculiar scenario caught the attention of the fire brigade, prompting swift intervention to prevent any potential hazard to pedestrians in case of windy conditions. The Grand Ducal Fire and Rescue Corps (CGDIS) quickly intervened, using a ladder to retrieve the bike and secure the area.

The situation was resolved without incident, with the “Vélo’h” seemingly returning unscathed from its airborne escapade.
