Also
Don't VanDeGraaff generators cause static electricity by the electromagnetic field they cause?
Seems to me this is a viable explanation, also dependent upon the tires and material of the bike, and the dryness of the person.
This could be true , if you walk through a power transmission switching yard on a high humidity day ,you can feel the electricity in the air ,your hair starts to stand on end & if your wearing wool ,it starts to stand on end too, may be this guy is more sensative to electricity
