In bicyclist's lingo, a jogger who suddenly turns around without looking after reaching a mileage goal, usually with headphones on. If the crazy ivan is executed just as a cyclist is passing, it can be a dangerous maneuver, as the jogger is changing lanes to go the other direction. A jogger with headphones on may not hear an audible pass warning from a cyclist.
