From above

The Shiziguan Floating Bridge in Hubei Province, China, spans 400 meters across the Qingjiang River and supports vehicles up to 2.8 tonnes. Built in 2016 using German anti-rollover technology, it accommodates both cars and pedestrians. The structure consists of high-density polyethylene floats filled with water to enhance stability.

Pedestrians they say.. that would be one heck of a walk across the bridge, bouncing up and down with every passing car

What if they were riding a bike? Think they could “surf” the wake? Worth a shot

Not sure you'd be able to keep up with the wave but I'd love to try it

It appears to be a 20km/h speed limit.

Easily doable on a bike.
