Nishinomiya's 1.3 meters tall "Manbow Tunnel"

I saw some (in a Youtube vid) so narrow, in whatever mountain, that people doing MTB rides had to... unscrew the handlebar to make it loose enough so that the handlebards could then be turned 90 degrees. Otherwise the bike simply wouldn't fit (and there was no other way than that tunnel).

I forgot where that was.

EDIT: found it, it's in Switzerland. These people are insane: https://youtu.be/vZgiWYY9euM (just look at the intro and you'll see both why they're completely insane and the narrow tunnel)

That is definitely a cry for help/involuntary psychiatric hold.

Pretty condescending attitude!

Folks ride insane trails all the time: https://youtu.be/CNgOmcYCOPw?si=ohazg3Cl9poKLDNj

No kink shaming, please.

Probably Valais. It's a deep, dry valley with rain shadow. What they were biking along is an irrigation canal. At the top of the mountains the glacier gives meltwater even during dry spells. Thanks to these irrigation canals villages have enough water for their crop.
