That'll teach you. An unrideable bike is not a laughing matter!

Speaking of unridable bikes, I recall an Open University film about one years ago.

The lecturer had a bike rigged to allow him to change the front geometry.

A fairly small adjustment made the bike lean out at corners, making it impossible to ride in anything other than a straight line.

Edit: Just found this paper about bike stability:
