[lbo-talk] Can you rub your belly and pat your head at the same time?

[Kevin Robert Dean]

"[At] about 1800 hours the President approached the junction at speed on 
the bicycle. The road was damp at the time. As the President passed the 
junction at speed he raised his left arm from the handlebars to wave to 
the police officers present while shouting 'thanks, you guys, for coming'.

"As he did this he lost control of the cycle, falling to the ground, 
causing both himself and his bicycle to strike [the officer] on the 
lower legs. [The officer] fell to the ground, striking his head. The 
President continued along the ground for approximately five metres, 
causing himself a number of abrasions. The officers... then assisted 
both injured parties."
