    Bicycling can be dangerous

    When the government's boot is on your throat, whether it is a left boot or a right boot is of no consequence. — GARY LLOYD

    The nation we live in is the nation we have built by design, each successive generation raising the wall of tyranny a little higher. - Chris Griffin

    He didn't sound too good. That hurt just watching it.
    We never had weather like this before they started messing around with that internet stuff.

    We have 22 million bicycles on 16.7 million people, most owning 2, and we all had our mishaps in the life we cycle, being clipped by other cyclists, cars, or jumping on the cycle missing the saddle and hit the crossbar, no need to go graphic is it?

    ;)

    Ouch....

    Remember those Sturmey-Archer three-speed hubs? You know, the ones that had a very touchy adjustment? If that adjustment was off just a little bit...you found the fourth speed, NEUTRAL!!!! Imagine pedaling HARD, standing on the pedals and all of a sudden be in neutral? Not only did you wind up "riding the bar", there was a total loss of control, usually resulting in a really HARD knock on the noggin.

    Only took me two of those to 1) Learn to NEVER pedal standing up in second gear and 2) BE VERY, VERY appreciative of deralleurs on bikes!

    Man, don't you just hate it when that happens?
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I didn't know it was bicyclists season.
