Obama Bike

My Story
My name is Jedimastermoon, and you will never believe the story I am about to tell you. I made a living out of making random videos on youtube under the name BloxyCatRoblox. I wasn't doing very well. Few people watched my videos and I had barely any money.

It was a cold autumn night, I was in a bar trying to search for inspiration. As the bartender handed me a drink he asked "How are you doing?" "Horrible," I said. "I'm trying to find something interesting to make a video on." "Its my career, and I hit rock bottom." "Well," the bartender said. "If your looking for something interesting for your videos, you should check out the Obama Bike." "The Obama Bike?" As ridiculous as it sounded, I was intrigued. "You haven't heard?" "Its all over the news!" The bartender exclaimed. "The Obama Bike?" I repeated. "Some guy living in Robloxity saw it out their window." "A bike rolling down the street by itself." My excitement dropped. "Thats what bikes do," I said. "Yeah, until it turned around and went back up!" "WHAT." "I know, sounds ridiculous right?" The bartender said while handing another person a drink. People around the bar started listening in. "The police thought the same thing, and they sent him back home." "At that point the story would have died, except some else got actual footage of it!." "Seriously?" a woman yelled in the back. "The bike was spinning around before suddenly crashing into the bushes before it disappeared." "The person who reported it in the first place and the person who had the footage were payed 60,000 and 110,00 robux by the media." "Now freelance youtubers and journalists are all heading to Robloxity to try to earn some cash." While everyone chattered around me, I was lost in my own thoughts. 60,000 robux just for reporting it? This was it. This was the story that was going to make my career. I called my neighbors and asked for someone to take care of my cats and my house, then I got in my car and speeded toward Robloxity.

The extent of the freelance youtubers who had traveled here was revealed to me. The streets were filled with buses, all marked "Obama Bike Hunt 2020." Media outlet trucks and helicopters flew overhead, as hundreds of people ran around me, holding cameras, phones, recorders, any recording device a person could name. It would appear that every normal citizen of the city was staying in their homes. I glimpsed a little girl staring from a window with a bewildered expression on her face. "Excuse me sir?" I turned around and saw a woman in a suit handing me a pamphlet. "There are stores down the street selling cameras and the bus fare is 5 robux. "Oh, thank you." I said, but the woman was already turning around to hand pamphlets to other people. It was apparent that some people were cashing in from the craze. I paid the bus fare and got into an empty looking bus. The bus driver gave me a curt nod and then started driving around.

Suddenly, a siren blared. I looked up as the people outside the bus started going crazy. The bus driver frantically took out his radio and listened in. "A bike has been spotted on 6th Avenue rolling down by itself!" I had barely any time to register this before he hit the pedal and drove forward. I hit my face on seat as the driver swerved down the street with people screaming, barely dodging the bus. There was a huge crowd ahead. The bus driver jammed the breaks as I almost hit my head jumping out of the bus and running as fast as I could toward the street with my camera rolling. I pushed my way to the front of the crowd

Information
For the most part, the story's description fits in with the actual description. The Obama Bike is a bike in the game Robloxity which moves by itself, as if it was driven by an actual player. The myth was brought into attention by a popular youtuber named Greenlegocats123, who showcased in a video posted on October 31st 2019, titled "The Scariest thing I've Ever Seen in Roblox." In the video, Greenlegocats is shown with his brother in the game, riding a police car and chasing a bike that is moving forwards until it hits a hill and flips. Greenlegocats notes that the bike was still trying to move forwards suggesting a player was riding the bike. Exactly a year later, Greenlegocats posted another video on the myth on October 31st 2020, titled "The Only Real Roblox Myth?" In there, he delves more into the myth and shows other recordings of the Obama Bike.

The events of the story are kind of true. Aside from the money stuff, I actually went to Robloxity with a huge group of people and drove around a bus searching for the bike, hoping to get a recording of it. There were a lot of false alarms, and a few people trying to fake it. The videos can be found here.

Explanation
The biggest piece of evidence of this bike is Greenlegocats's footage. However, it is shown that the footage he showcased was the only legitimate one in the community. Other footage of the bike was proven to be edited such as this one. Many mythbusters have made videos showing these edits and how the bike actually moves. The bike that moved by itself in Greenlegocats's video was most likely a glitch.
