Clarence: The Traffic Calming Sasquatch (3:07)

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

Taking the Clarence: The Traffic Calming Maniac concept one step further…

This time in Portland, Oregon where Dan Kaufman from Crank My Chain! Cycle TV goes searching for the long lost bigfoot in an area well known for its traffic calming. He stumbles upon the ever-elusive, mythic character and finds that safer streets have coaxed him out of the wild.

  1. I don’t know what to say. First, I’m amazed that you caught a sasquatch on camera, and second, that he loves traffic calming?? That’s quite an unexpected surprise.

    Excellent and groundbreaking reporting once again, everyone.

  2. I traded in my hovercraft for a bicycle a few months back. Glad to see others doing the same.

  3. I am glad to see that Sasquatch knows all the correct hand signal techniques for riding a bike. All those years in the woods, and he is educated enough to teach himself to ride a bike properly.

    Although I don’t know where he’ll get a helmet.

  5. Clarence, hmmm is that a cousin of yours? I love that he has running shoes on. Man, everyone out there sure does like to keep fit.

  6. I’m sorry but this is totally FAKE!!!!!!! And just another example of sSasquatch users of by skeptics. I live in Skamania County, Wash. and I can tell you Sasquatch real and they hates cars but they are probably intellegent enough to ride a bycicle.

    I hope you are attacked once by bigfoot even thogh they don’t do that.

  7. This highlights the problem of Bigfoot becoming acclimated to human society. If Clarence is going to ride a bike in public, could he at least wear some pants? Please? Thank you.
