I would guesstimate that with the two riders and the bike, the vehicle would have been close to 300 lbs.
My memory of physics is pretty bad but 300lbs travelling at 25-30 km/h plus an unobservant pedestrian/jet sanchez equals one dead pedestrian/jet sanchez
Well if we're going to F=MA it then a 250 lb rider on a 50lb touring bike will be the same deal.
