No, not really, but you never know.
I like the idea of the DVD however, I don't think any of the techniques would work well with a longtail cargo bike. That is just my opinion, not having seen the DVD.
My Christmas was awesome.

Not all the techniques demonstrated require lifting of the bike, many standard strikes, kicks, grabs and locks are shown. The instructor is skilled in a variety of martial arts and weapons, and obviously has spent some time thinking through and practicing tactics that a cyclist could use to defend themselves if approached by thugs while out riding. Anyone who trains in martial arts and loves to bike like I do would find it interesting and helpful even if they never get jumped. I haven't even watched the whole thing yet.
