Default OT, but interesting, bit about the US and a cyclist killing a jogger.

"Huddleston was hit Thursday evening, apparently when she abruptly
turned into a cyclist’s path in a section of the trail near Routh
Street. She was wearing headphones and may not have heard the bicycle
approaching, police said.

She was taken to the hospital with critical head injuries."

I'm surprised you didn't suggest that if she had worn a helmet it
would have saved her life.


I'm surprised you didn't realise she wouldn't have heard the cyclist without
the headphones.

Thats what make pavement cyclists so dangerous. Silent killers.

a kid's toy, not a viable form of transport.
