The bicycle didn't like Daniel-san for putting it in a position of being chased by motorbikes and ejected him over it's handlebars when they went down the hill.

He was acting like the bike was crappy and caused him to go flying down that mountain. That was so if someone saw him they would think it was because his bike sucks and not because he is getting tormented by the gang.

A friend of mine crashed his motorcycle years ago. He jumped up off the floor, removed his helmet and started kicking the bike shouting 'Fvc<ing piece of s h it Kawasakis'.
People do the strangest things when they are upset and in shock.

If those pen pushers up at city hall don't like it,well, they swivel on this middle digit!

Why assume decisions made under heated emotional state are based on rational thinking?

He didn’t like his “stupid” bike because it made him vulnerable to thugs on motorcycles.
He wanted a car.
