Calvin's bike is actually one of the weaker conceits of the strip: The punchline of a bike trying to kill its rider tends to wear thin quickly. Watterson noted in the Tenth Anniversary Collection that, given his own love of cycling, he had to resist the urge to draw biker strips too frequently. I suspect that bias explains the blindspot with the killer bike strips.
All that said, this particular panel worked quite nicely.
