Amazing Bike Stunt

During Critical Mass tonight, I saw a rider crash into the rear of another one, eject over the handlebars, but then able to grab onto the back of the other rider, and both of them were able to come to a stop on the one bike.

The first rider was able to control the bike, and the crasher did a Fred Flintstone while holding on. It was almost like they practiced the crash, but I don't even know if they knew each other.

Considering this all happened in the middle of a busy intersection, it was really the most amazing bike stunt I have ever seen.

I once was hit by a slow-moving car that turned right, into a gas station; only I was in the way. I rolled onto my back, and over the trunk of my car, back onto my wheels. (OK, I dabbed a little) But I was clipped in the whole time! The funniest part (?) was
that it was some old lady that never even knew what happened. Believe me, I asked.
Monroe Ave. in Rochester is always fun on a bike.

Was he wearing a helmet? If not can we have a 5 page rant on how he should have been wearing his skid lid?

Let's do it anyway!
Freakin' morons with no helmets. Did you know a driver instantly feels more confident about a biker's skills, when they see that they are wearing a helmet? It's true.
The study didn't mention anything about full-face helmets though.
There's a bag lady in the city that wears a full-face when she rides,
I bet she's got no skills....

Or maybe she's got really cool skills. Like ninja skills, or bow-staff skills, or computer hacking skills! Does she ride a sledgehammer with pegs and shocks. If she does, she's lucky!
