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
