Well, as there were no cars going by a few seconds before and a few seconds after, it's a darned good assumption that he put that bike on the ground without any help from another vehicle. If there were another one close enough to clip him, it would have come into frame as well. Clear visibility, straight road, bright sunny day, it's unlikely that road conditions or anything else had any bearing either. While one may be making assumptions about the situation (heck, we're assuming the whole thing isn't CGI, right?), I'd put good money on those assumptions, and I'd venture most other reasonable folks would as well. He panicked, locked the front brake, and rolled past the cop trailing his bike exactly as we saw...

Glad he's OK. The dumbass needs to learn how to ride a bike.
