Beautiful acrobatics. Wish I met girls like that on my daily commute ;)
Seriously though. My suggestions above are not so far fetched. Elisa is
already started on her way to do the cool handlebar mount by rocking her
bike back and forth just like is described in the links above. She just
needs to get her rythm and timing down and she will be mounting her bike
like a NY bikemessenger.
