All Bengaluru citizens and active social media users are well-versed in the "peak Bengaluru moment" trend. For the unversed, it refers to any interesting or unusual incidents that happen in Bengaluru and often involve traffic, technology, hustle and work-life balance. One such incident related to traffic was recently shared by 'Bengaluru Visuals' on Instagram. It featured a man riding a unicycle on the city's chaotic Outer Ring Road (ORR). He was seen manoeuvring the traffic while wearing a helmet and a backpack securely strapped on. The side note read, "Is this the future of Bengaluru commutes or just next-level risky?"
