it doesn't show the height of the chimney. Amazing thicknes of brick courses.
Would you expect him to cycle off a path that wide at ground level?
Given the state of the brickwork up there, I would not like to stand on it let alone ponce about on a bike (of any type)!
No, but I bet the wind speed at that height is rather greater than at ground level!

That chimney is actually quite thin. In the UK. the chimney wall would be twice that thickness. And probably multiple flues.
It looks like it's part demolished. There's normally an iron ring and lightning conductors on top of that sort of chimney.
