I also found a video of the end of my speech at TEDxBeijing on the Chinese site v.ku6.com. It shows the tricks that I did on my bike. Unfortunately the video is distorted which makes me look ultra slim.

Montag, März 22nd, 2010Ines Brunn in CCTV Show “想挑战吗” 伊泉-飞车上包饺子
Montag, März 22nd, 2010A few years ago I was in the China Central Television (CCTV) show called „Wanna Challenge“ and had the bet that I could make 10 Chinese dumplings while standing on a moving bike within 180 seconds. And I won!
This show is the Chinese version of the ZDF „Wetten Dass“ show which I had a bet in 1998. Here is the link to the CCTV site.
德国姑娘伊泉(Ines Brunn)自信满满 挑战现场飞车上包饺子
央视国际 www.cctv.com 2006年09月29日 19:05 来源:
您见过双脚站在自行车双把上，边骑边在空中包饺子吗？这位来自德国的漂亮女孩就是今晚《国际挑战群英会》的第一个挑战者，伊泉。她的挑战项目叫做“飞车包饺子”。所谓的飞车包饺子，就是要在短短的180秒内站在自行车上包满10个饺子。
骑自行车，我相信这对任何一个正常人来说都不是问题，但一般骑车大家都是用双脚来骑，双手扶车把掌握方向。而伊泉的骑车方式就不是随便可以模仿的了。首先必须要一只脚站在自行车的横杠上，另一只脚猛蹬几圈，然后双脚迅速站在双把上。舞台两边各有一个放饺子皮，饺馅的台子，高度与伊泉站在车上的高度平行。她在路过台子的同时迅速拿起饺皮，随后骑到另一头取饺馅，这样一个饺子才算包好了。如此繁复的过程，伊泉能完成吗？
当伊泉听到我的疑问的时候，她笑了，她的笑容看起来没有任何的负担和压力。
原来，伊泉在98年的时候就在德国参加过德国版“想挑战吗”节目并取得成功，当时挑战的项目是“飞车烙饼”，和今天的“飞车包饺子”异曲同工。伊泉从小还是德国国家体操队的队员，所以身体的协调性和掌握平衡的能力更是超出一般人。
节目中，挑战者挑战成功！

Ines Brunn TED Speech on The Beijinger blog
Montag, März 22nd, 2010Today I met with Shannon to discuss our route for the upcoming STC Friday Night bike ride. As we were looking for a suitable Chinese restaurant to have a dinner after that ride we opened „the Beijinger“ website to look through their restaurant listings. And guess what: A picture of me is on their blog. I had to smile 🙂 It is about the TEDxBeijing and they linked to my TED talk on bicycle culture in China.
They wrote: Early this month we did a post on the TEDx Beijing talks appearing as videos online. TED – Technology, Entertainment, Design – is an annual gathering of the world’s leading thinkers that has been described as “the ultimate brain spa.” TEDx is a series of local programs in various cities, and last November saw the first TEDx gathering in Beijing. Since our original post another three new talks have appeared and are now available for viewing.
In the latest videos, “artistic cyclist” Ines Brunn speaks about the perception of bicycles in Beijing, CNN news anchor Kristie Lu Stout talks about her passion for story telling, and Ben Tsiang speaks about his experience at SINA and the motivation and inspiration behind the founding of CNEX cafe and screening centre.
