Is the 41 investigative team going to deconstruct another Central Park cycling accident?

Probably just needs to work on his pedal stroke. Look at those Jimmy Legs.

U2?s Bono pulls out of shows, faces surgery after cycling accident - Sticky Bottle
I can only imagine what would be done to him on HrN. He probably isn't cross-chaining, but I think that may be the only rule unbroken in this picture.
