If the fellow he hit was registered (D), then this dude’ll probably be a paid speaker at CPAC next year.  Look at how they celebrate Rittenhouse.

The opposing tapered gear arrangements of a wide range cassette and a triple chainring remind me of a CVT.  Maybe that’ll bridge the car/bike gap for your musings?

Take a look at some of the chonkier cycling multitools, like the two piece ones from ParkTool.  Dull pry thingies, stamped steel box wrenches, etc.
