A lot of Kevin Bacon's bike riding in Quicksilver was actually done by a stunt double (David Brinton).

Us guys in the New Haven Cycling Club in the mid-1960s perfected the technique of dismounting by kicking the left pedal forward at the top of the pedaling circle while simultaneously lifting off the saddle, swinging the right foot back, and finally grabbing the saddle as the bike rolled away forward. A bit tricky with TA Jacques Anquetil nail-on cleats on a slick surface. Haven't thought of that, much less tried it, in at least 50 years.

In that video that stunt biker has a really wild seat (no, on the bike)
What is it??? Looks like a Brooks after using something "other than Proofhide", but seriously???

Not a lot of videotaping going on in 1965. But it's not that hard to do. Try it while riding on dirt or grass to start with. As I said, kick one pedal forward at the top of the stroke while swinging your other foot down to the ground; at the same time, let go of the handlebars and grab the saddle with one hand. Won't take you more than a couple of tries to get it down.

So I jump ship in Hong Kong and I make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas.
A looper?
A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock.

When your ship comes in
And you’ve got the stock market beat
But the man who’s worth while
Is the man who can smile
When his shorts aren’t too tight in the seat
