Default Sportsman saved by helmet. Makes you wonder how light a cyclehelmet could be and still work right.

This sounds like a place where it would be logical to walk the bike, no?


Absolutely not. Walking is far more dangerous than bicycling. You

know that.

Good point. Sounds like it's time to outlaw walking. Why, if only ONE
life can be saved...!


When it's really slick the prudent man will sit down and slide, pants be
damned. Not that it's dignified, or even easy if one has to hold a
bicycle in his lap.


In that incident when I slipped and sat down on wet grass while walking
my bike, I suppose I'd have been better off by sitting down first and
sliding down that hill. If I'd done that, the helmet I was carrying
wouldn't have broken.

Ah, hindsight!
