BikeFest 2008 climaxes with choreographed clown-car collision

Posted Thu, 2008-05-15 17:26 by marc

BikeFest 2008, held Wednesday at Woodruff Park in Downtown Atlanta, concluded with a daring performance, one that launched a wrong-way Charlie the Cycling Clown - known in some circles as Kyle Torok - headlong toward a tempera-coated corrugated-cardboard jalopy piloted by the law-abiding Irene. Ringmaster, Erica Crabb Moon, not only provided play-by-play commentary for the unfolding drama but also graciously rendered assistance to a dazed - but fortunately uninjured - Charlie.

You can see more of this theatrical premier and other photos of ABC's not-ready-for-drive-time players in this photo gallery.
