Insanely tall, wobbly bikes are now a thing on the west coast.  This may be limited here with all our overpass, viaducts and tree branches and what not

Even taller and more wobbly (look at it as he climbs up)

That is crazy!

The first one is almost excruciating to watch. Imagine if he fell!!

I agree.  I'm semi-squeamish on heights, (these guys are truly fucking insane) but the guy in the second video at least had the sense to do his ride on a closed course. The first guy went for his ride on a route he hadn't even scouted before hand. He mentioned a world record and thus:

""The tallest rideable bicycle is "Stoopidtaller" which measures 6.15 m (20 ft 2.5 in) and was built by Richie Trimble (USA) and measured in Los Angeles, California, USA, on 26 December 2013.

The measurement is taken from the ground to the handlebars, and the bicycle must be successfully ridden a distance of 100 m (328 ft 1 in).""

Considering the lack of danger and obstacles it's a duller video but the guy has the world record for the tallest bike which means someone will make a taller bike and eventually someone will have a 30 or 40 ft bike and this will keep on until someone topples over and hits the pavement like a hammer hitting a nail, which in this case, is worse for the hammer than the nail.

Or This guy:
