Sometimes nothing beats a STEEL bike!!
My apologies if this has been posted elsewhere or if I posted this in the wrong category.
From the description on liveleak:
Two thieves on a motor-scooter flew by and snatched a womans purse on a street in Wenzhou, China. Surveillance video shows a man riding a bicycle. As he was passing by the front of a hotel near where the thievery happened, he stopped, calmly got off his bicycle, picked it up, and then threw it at the thieves. The bicycle hit them, they lost control, and crashed to the ground.
And the link to the video:

Since this happened in China I wonder if the bike was a "Flying Pidgeon".

If yes - that guy must be a weight-lifter. Hitting the crooks with that, in the USA, would probably get you arrested for attempted murder. I find a plain old walking stick, or cane, an excellent offense/defense weapon. But my hat's off to him. Where's utube when you want 'em?
