pool of sharks
attitudes about bicyclists sometimes confound me. for example: i had a crash
recently and made a visit to the ER at the hospital where i work. it wasnt a bad injury but i was worried about the ligaments. the doctor said : "dont you know bicycles are dangerous" to which i suggested "you are swimming in a pool of man eating sharks pointing at a lobster and saying it's dangerous". |

Laying in hospital a night nurse asked how I'd broken my leg. When I said "bicycle", she right away had to interject "dangerous". I reminded her that she'd seen more and worse injuries from automobile collisions. She had to agree. -- zk |

If "dangerous" means there is a possibility of being hurt then by definition, if you end up on a gurney in an ER you were engaged in a "dangerous" activity. Does that nurse also warn people with puncture wounds on their hands of the "dangers" of knitting? Those needles look pretty "dangerous" to me. Regards, Bob Hunt |
