I am a peaceful fellow, but come on. Holding his shoulder? #1, that's a great way to get stabbed or maced via the other hand, #2, it's pretty easy to shake someone's hand off their shoulder, grab the bike and vanish into the night, and #3, the guy pretty much gave his consent to be choked when he tried to steal someone's bike.
Awesome story, OP.
