Top New Zealand mountain biker Vanessa Quin escaped being paralysed
after breaking her neck in a fall during the national championships in
Nelson at the weekend.

It is the second time in five years that Quin has broken a bone in her
neck - she will be in a brace for up to 10 weeks.

She says she is feeling very lucky and is determined to get back on a
bike again soon.

Quin, 30, also broke an arm in a World Cup race in Spain and needed
further surgery after the Rotorua world championships in August.

Was that a splash she heard or a splat?

It really is in poor taste to lower yourself to Vandeman's level by
trying to use an accident to make an argument.

The fact is that both activities can be dangerous.

I prefer to concentrate on the environmental aspects of activities, and
everyone agrees that mountain biking is no more damaging to the
environment than hiking.

You know that's a bald-faced lie.
