Share a Story of Awesome Bike Handling

This evening, it was already fairly dark as I pulled up at the front yard gate. I got off the bike, took a last drink from the water bottle, and heard a freewheel. Looking up, I saw a dark rider on a dark bike - nothing unusual, but as he went past I saw that he was riding with only his left hand on the bar. The other hand was on the bar of a second, riderless bicycle to his right. He was riding straight and true down the street, into the darkness. I called after him, "Now that's bike handling!"

My other story is seeing, years ago, a rider taking his jersey off over his head with both hands WHILE RIDING. He wobbled just a little, but did not lose direction, and he was quick. I was awed.

Anyone else with a story of amazing/awesome bike handling?
