To remove your rear bumper cover
1. Place bicycle behind car laying down.
2. Back up fast!
3. Pull forward fast!

Voila! Easy. (not recomended for those with hart conditions. May cause scratches.)

MINI vs. Bicycle.
It was a double knock out! The MINI bumper cover came off and broke the welded brace that is in the middle underside. The bicycle has bent chain guard, tweeked training wheels, and scratched grips.

The MINI surgery was a success! The brace was screwed together and is back to normal. The bicycle will have to live with minor blemishes. Both are resting comfortably in the garage.

Geez, I'm only 27, and even I remember when bumpers used to actually function as bumpers... Glad to hear this didn't turn out too terribly!
