Driving home on the cross town (6 lane divided 65MPH) I saw a guy on a pretty big bike maybe a 650-750 coming towards me. No this should be no big deal right? The guy was riding on one wheel in rush hour traffic at probably 70+MPH. I could see him coming and going away from me, so I can estimate he held it as long as I could see him maybe 1/2 mile...and he showed no signs of wanting to get back on 2 wheels.

I had horrible visions of this guy splattered all over some old lady's nice Town Car or some crap.

In Berkeley, this fool was coming up Durant towards Telegraph on a bike.

He popped a wheelie going about 25 mph... a mere 15 ft from the back of a stopped truck. Needless to say he met the back of the truck and busted his oil cap and got a big rash. I was actually the first one on the scene, but the guy got up so I left him alone.

The truck didn't feel it and drove off.

Bravery and stupidity are the same thing.

Not quite. Like Murphy's laws of combat state (i'm paraphrasing a bit), "stupidity is sharing a foxhole with someone braver than you."

It's a bit of both. Bravery is often determined by the coolness factor of the deed and this was at least moderately cool.
