I regularly manage to avoid pedestrians who cross the road without looking, but I'm not getting any younger, and the pedestrians are always working out new ruses. And don't ask me whether they wear helmets! |

Maybe some people riding them aren't. -- Life is a venereal disease with 100% mortality. |

Do you really think the 80 year old walked or ran into a stationary cyclist, killing himself in the process? |

If you are new here, Cheerless likes to misrepresent what has been posted in the past. Nobody claims bicycles are capable of stopping on a sixpence and only Doug ever claimed cylists didn't hurt or even kill people. |

Nobody claims bicycles are capable of stopping on a sixpence and only Doug ever claimed cylists didn't hurt or even kill people. Here he goes again, deep in denial. Loads & loads of psycholists have made the claim that cycles stop faster than any other vehicle on the planet and that cyclists cannot kill people. -- Dave - Cyclists VOR.
