He looked to be 30 years younger than me, so maybe he bounces better. Fit looking MTBer. His CFRP fork blades snapped off, as I recall. Thank you. I wish you all the best for your recovery. (I was quite sure that the other guy had gotten injured much less severely than you, otherwise you'd probably either have mentioned his condition or you would have disclosed less about your part of the accident, for legal reasons.) |

I have _A Systems View Of The World_ on my bookshelf; I recall starting it but not finishing it (probably just read the introduction and then got lazy). He was highly touted in another book I was reading, Kurt Lewin I think or perhaps Steven Trierweiler's book on ecological psychology. |

My ENT thinks the vocal chords will heal and improve, although I may not get my full range back. I have to ask -- what happened to the other guy and why the collision? Like I have said here before, other cyclists can be a serious hazard. The other guy seemed to be fine (he looked to be in his late 20s). He told my wife he was OK and told the EMTs the same. As for "why," I think that I was the other cyclist that was dangerous. My recollection is that I may have cut the inside of a left-hand bend and was still towards his side of the trail. D'oh! Takes guts to admit to a mistake like that. |

My wife would vote for the latter. She would have voted for that before the crash, now she is convinced possibly beyond remediation. |
