Hence the confusion as to why the author talks about motorcycles the whole time and then throws this in. Quite odd...

Because it's more relevant.

hiyas  if you crash abiker with a car you go overtop of them and they
die...  go back and grab the cash. if you hit stuff at a low speed you
dont fall off you just kind of bop around a bit  dont know about
jumpin the bikes, have yet to take any of them off the mark, however
your body fly's off quite nicely.  theres numerous bikes to be
stolen...  bout six  i  think, all ranging from appropriately named
faggio's to somethin that looks like a harley.  dont know about
bicycles either but theres a pizza delivery scooter.  i dont ride a
motorcycle  but have played lots of games...  the different bikes all
handle differently, and are good when being chased by the cops.  have
a nice day.
