my brother and dad both had bike accidents where the helmet saved their lives. - loosilu Oct 13, 12:37 12
- I guess I must not do it right because I've had maybe one bike accident in my life. *shrugs* -- nm - Jim Oct 13, 12:37 11
  - eveyrone I know who rides a lot has had multiple crashes. sometimes it is not your fault. - loosilu Oct 13, 12:38 10
    - maybe jim is less clumsy. maybe he has better karma. maybe he's nicer, less contrary, so the gods have decided not to punish him on bikes? -- nm - amanda Oct 13, 12:57 9

        I have really limited internet this week. I'm not checking email so much. also, nmbswearing - amanda Oct 13, 13:04
      - maybe he's lucky. I've had a crash maybe once every two years. This is not at all unusual for someone who rides a lot. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 12:59 6
        
        ...and clumsiness does not control potholes, cars, and other bikes. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 12:59 5
        
        I rode a lot when I was a kid. I fell once, and I had a helmet on, and I didn't hit my head. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 13:00 4
        
        ah yes, the old "nothing has happend to me therefore it's not a risk" argument - loosilu Oct 13, 13:03 3
        
        it's not a logical fallacy. I still wear a helmet when I ride. At the moment, I own neither a bike nor a helmet, however. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 13:09 2
        
        or rather: The logical fallacy is not what I'm saying. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 13:09 1
        
        oh, sorry. sounded like it. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 13:10
