There's a commentary on it somewhere on the net where the cycling boy is described as 'freewheeling' down the hill but at the time the boy was almost certainly on a fixed gear bike - hence putting his feet on a 'narrow plank' on the frame whist going downhill to take full advantage of gravity until reaching the bottom and pedalling again.
