This is pretty cool. I know a friend that might be able to do this on a monocycle.

Most entertaining. Most impractical. What did he shoot at? What did he "score"? Your family riding ahead of you and shooting past them at a perp while riding? A small stick or stone in the bikes path at the moment of trigger squeeze and who is injured or dead? Who's going to bike ride through the neighborhood with an AR slung over your back? Congrats to the dude for his training and skills but please label this entertainment and not a promo for personal defense.
Lmao
not gonna lie all those same questions crossed my mind as well when I first saw it. However I did come across another video after posting this one where a police force in Italy 
trained their bike force to shoot while riding as well. So it does bring up the question of training in this situation.Perhaps a skill better suited to an urban environment.Lmao
Note: My OCD is kicking-in. There's a typo in the title of the thread.

Don't leave out surfers and skydivers......trouble can come from any direction!Reminded me of Centaur.... Or, a really good Schwinn bicycle commercial?
Possibly rollerskates or skateboards next?
Paratroopers have been known to protect themselves while in air. So, not too far flung?
Something that just dawned on me: If anyone from the current regime sees this, they'll be pushing to add the question "Do you now, or have you ever, owned a bicycle?" to background checks.

MD State Police has a multi-day shoot-from-the-saddle course for their Motor squad. I *almost* had a buddy of mine talked into letting me take the course with him....dammit. So close.
Granted, a Harley/BMW is quite different than a mountain bike...but shooting while in motion (accurately!) really is a thing.

If remember right, back stone age days, used to shoot off horseback?

Nice!
Would trust a horse any day more than a bike!
Horses can be very smart, bikes not so much. Good horse can take you home when things go upside down. Bicycles, bikes or a cars, not so much, but they're working on them now days. Cars have been a mixed bag of beans. There are working prototypes of self driving bikes (Yes, Motorcycles) Has been awhile since reading about and seeing, maybe in production soon? Downside, if any, and if they work well and are dependable? Put auto insurance companies out of business?

COVID Boredom spawns unique ideas. Although I can see some Special Warfare applications.
