Lesson to Learn:
If you're on a bicycle, don't kick a car driven by a person as equally
crazy as yourself.
The kicking story is most likely BS. any sound kick to car would cause a
lateral force that could likely result in the bicyclist falling.


Never underestimate gyroscopic force's ability to keep a cyclist
upright.


The gyroscopic forces are minimal - basically enough to allow hands-off
riding on reasonably decent pavement (assuming appropriate bicycle
geometry) but no more than that.

Besides, a mounted cyclist is not in a position to effectively kick
anything.


Well, some people do better at this than others...
