BikeFest 2008 climaxes with choreographed clown-car collision

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.
