He goes bike riding with them, sometimes hopping on their bikes looking like a clown in a circus.

If you happen to be out at night on the bike path without a light, ring your bell constantly. No bell? Then sing "Hotel Yorba" on a continuous loop, loud enough to warn the unseen.

I'm looking forward to this end part of the season, ... Riding the bike in Japan for a factory Honda rider is a real honour. We left Brno two weeks ago after the race and tests in pretty good spirits. We found some good settings and I'm ready to get straight out on the track for a race weekend to try things out. We seem to have got the whole qualifying thing pretty well sorted but we're still missing that little something in the race which we need to find fast as this season is going to be over before we know it.

So we're going to do a Battlestar Galactica themed bike and bring another one of the bikes.

There is a bike for everyone. There are bikes for just about every specific need, even hand-pedaling bikes. You just have to find the correct bike for the rider.
