I love how the reporter seems to believe that the Lake District is in London...

There is a platform underneath him. The only question is how he is keeping it under him and moving with him.

The bike is super glued on to a dolphin.

The tires were lubricated with oil which everyone knows stays on top of the water, thus allowing him and the bike to stay on the surface. Amazing I think. Ha Ha.

Helium Tires....Duh!

You realize that exposure is not permitted on these forums right?....I suggest you delete your post before one of the mods do.

you all had good guesses but the truth is it is real magic....

He inhaled helium before he got on the bike

Funny, I didn't think we exposed such things around here. . .

It does look like the Andre Kole system, whether the kid consulted with Andre or not, I couldn't say.

It's fine, I was the magic consultant for that stunt. If you ever visit that lake you may even be lucky enough to see the bike riding itself on the water.

it seems pretty easy to figure out, mythbusters did something similar on the discovery channel so I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that its the same method.

I think the real mystery is not whether he has something underneath him. Like I said, it is how he is keeping it going with him. I didn't "expose" much if you ask me.
