Monday Morning Motivation – The ballerina on the golden bicycle

Lilly Yokoi was an acrobat who specialised in performing on a golden bicycle. During her career, she toured around the world and appeared on the Ed Sullivan show three times.

Yokoi did some stunts that definitely seemed before-their-time. These tricks included:

• a no-hands handlebar spin
• a no-hands wheelie
• a handstand over the handlebars

Yokoi managed all of this in high-heeled shoes!

This video of Yokoi is bound to make you smile on a Monday morning, even if you don’t aspire to her level of skill on a bicycle!
