Philosophy Wire: Do you believe your eyes?

british_teenager_bikes_on_top_of_water_for_charity_wont_say_howPhilosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2011-07-19]: A young cyclist run on his bike on the surface of a 75 foot deep lake for charity purposes [source: Yahoo! Sports News]. The man does not reveal how he did what he did, but claims the photo is real. He also claims that many people saw him do it and can verify this is not a camera trick.  Do you believe your eyes? Do you trust other people’s testimony?
PS. ATTENTION! Answering those questions can have more serious philosophical impact than you can imagine…
