A woman went to Regional Medical Center after being hit in the head by a thrown bicycle Saturday night, Anniston Police said.
From the local news paper. Here is the link but this paper requires you to pay to see more so the link is not going to do much of any good except it really did happen.

She didn't need a helmet. She was protected by her hair.

Who threw the bike? Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie?

That Anniston woman - it wouldn't have happened if she hadn't dumped Brad.

The article said she was 55. Amazing what they do with makeup.

Since the Olympics has recognized BMX as an event...........I submit that they might take a look at bicycle throwing.

Would it be appropriate to run and throw it like a javelin or would one use a circular pit, spin and throw it like a hammer or shot?

Personally, I was heartbroken when they rejected BS throwing.
