shit happens. I'd suggest not getting in car crashes too but... -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 12:37 15
- Little harder to control an SUV pulling a trailer at 60 MPH that it is a bicycle. But, that's just me. -- nm - Jim Oct 13, 12:38 14
  - yeah, that brake pedal is tricky. -- nm - mafic Oct 13, 12:40 5
    - Not when a car swerves out from right in front of you to reveal something large in the lane. -- nm - Jim Oct 13, 12:40 4
      - eh, for every car traffic situation you could probably find an equally unavoidable bike crash situation. - mafic Oct 13, 12:43 1
        
        causes of my crashes have been other cyclists, cars, road conditions. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 12:44
      - when I rented a trailer they told me not to go over a certain speed (maybe 50? can't remember). this is why. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 12:41 1
        
        Thanks for the lesson. I appreciate it. As if the cuncussion and loss of memory and my wife soaked in my blood wasn't enough.... - Jim Oct 13, 12:43
  - I've had one car crash and at least half a dozen bike crashes, and I drive far more often t han I bike. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 12:39 7
    - Sounds like you should bike more...maybe you wouldn't crash as much. -- nm - Jim Oct 13, 12:39 6
      - I've logged thousands of miles. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 12:40 5
        
        Then I guess you probably need the helmet. *shrugs* -- nm - Jim Oct 13, 12:42 4
        
        This sounds like the healthcare debate. "Then I guess you probably need the health insurance" :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 12:44 2
        
        I have a question. If nothin happens, shouldn't I get my money back??? -- nm - Chris Rock Oct 13, 12:55
        
        Heh heh. -- nm - Jim Oct 13, 12:45
        
        since I don't control the earth (and cars and other cyclists and potholes, etc), yes I do. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 12:42
