It's called...The Foreigner Olympics. (It's close relative is called The Klutz Olympics.)

Yes...you guess correctly! It's The Broom Joust wherein you ride home on your bike with a long-handled object and attempt to skewer anyone who happens to be in reach of the broom handle.

There should be citation for that. A BWK (Biking While Klutzy). Of course, if there was one of those, I'd never make to the ferry on time.
