Lower the saturation. Guys sitting down look yellow and biker looks like he's been in the oven too long. B/W would probably look good here. Try it out!

He blends too much into the tree in B&W. Since you have image editing oked, I played around with it and it's really a challenging scene to edit. My mind rested more on a comic book/graphic novel look.

I think you went a good bit heavy on the sharpening. Next time use a wider aperture to help separate the rider from the background and adjust your angle so that you can see his eyes/face. Personally, I like the saturation....but then again I am a fan of bright colors... :D

Get the rider's face
Get a clean background, like the sky
B&W will almost never help an action shot

Feels too cluttered to me. Either crop in a lot more on the guy, or blur everything except him and the path he is travelling (kind of like tilt shift).
