Riderless bike?

Leo Lichtman said:

This morning, as I drove away from the house, I'm coming up to the
top of a hill, when--what the?---a riderless bike is coming up the
other side of the hill toward me. In a few seconds I saw what it
was: the bike was rack mounted on top of a car, which had been
hidden by the hill. I'm still getting over the strangeness of it.

You startle easily, Leo 🙂

For a couple years there was a guy who lived in my area. He was
handicapped (in a wheelchair). He had a special motorcycle with sidecar
he would ride around in--the sidecar was open at the rear, and the
wheelchair would roll up into it and a gate closed behind it. And there
were another set of controls at the front of the sidecar....so you'd see
a motorcycle w/sidecar going down the road, and a guy sitting "in" the
sidecar, but nobody sitting on the motorcycle.

We had a guy set up like that in my home town, too. It was startling the
first couple of times you saw it...very resourceful!!

Well, it's Harry Potter season, a riderless bike is pretty much par for
the course, ne?
