John,

I saw this video and thought of you. I'm not going to give you any clue's as to what happens. You may already have seen this?

An 80 second video of pure genius in action.

I suspect a bump or pothole in the road could cause extreme discomfort in the nether regions

To be honest he's probably tucked a bit more defensively in that regard than normal
It's my teeth I'd be worried about

That position is banned now in racing to stop kids trying to copy it.

...I liked the way the 'leader of the pack' emulated him.

I have seen it, amazing how that aerodynamic position, (unsurprisingly known as the "superman") is so effective. As has been mentioned now banned.

I have not tried it but the even more impressive thing is that he is riding a fixed wheel bike and you might notice how difficult it is for him to resume pedalling at the end. I speak from experience when I say that once you take your feet off the pedals of a fixie it is very tricky to get them back on at any speed.
