Okay, so Newton's First Law of Motion states: An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Okay, so with that in mind, a cyclist is moving forward. The rock is large enough to stop the bicycle. However, the cyclist not being attached to the bicycle, will tend to stay in motion, lauching said cyclist over the handlebars.
