The best "car vs." race I've seen was in Paris, run by Top Gear (the UK motoring show) where the guy in the car was beaten by a couple of people on foot. They did a parkour/free-running thing, over buildings etc

It's unfair. The driver made wrong turns and is not that skillful. If one puts Michael Schmacher and or a local Cabbie, the result will be different.
Anyway, it's a mighty cool video. Most of us ride the bike not because it can get there faster, but it's much more beneficial and fun.

Opposite for me. I ride purely for efficiency. Dirtjumps are way too slow to do on foot.
I was in the context of a typical urban commute scenario. I'm not sure dirtjumps is a standard maneuver in an urban situation.
For argument's sake, you can dirt jump with a dirt motorcycle as well.

I remember my freshman year of college I worked with 3 or 4 guys that lived in the same campus apartment complex as me. We'd always get done with work between 5 and 6 and I'd beat them the 3 mile home everyday on my beater huffy 10 speed. Gotta love rolling past 2 blocks worth of backed up traffic :D
