Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

I don't know if that was a skilled dismount or the bicycle version of the pulling the tablecloth out from under trick. I suspect some of both, but mostly the latter. The bike hit the bike forward of her, and spun it out from under her, which was only possible because of the very open frame design.

Anyway, the best part was how blase everybody was, including the cabbie who calmly got out to check if any debris might have dinged the cab. Yawn!, car hits bike, lady hops off, so what else is new, ho hum, time to move on.
