Excuse my French but for ****s sake, this cycling lark is a laugh, just had another bike written off. I was waiting for the cars coming round a roundabout and Mrs 4x4 didn't see me (her foolish words) and shunted me from behind. Battered, bruised, cut and an ankle twice its normal size and growing. Will start flicking through the bike reviews for a new tourer.
What is really pissing me off is no Crazy300k ride this Saturday
My hubby rides much more than I do, and I worry about him getting creamed, too. He's had a few brushes, but nothing serious, thankfully. It stinks that you are down and out, but at least nothing is broken!! Heal quickly!!
BTW, we have the blinking lights on the back of our saddles. Although I was almost hit from behind once, I imagine it would have been a done deal if not for the flashing lights

2.3 miles - too many things on the to-do list to do the usual.
All this bike crash talk reminds me of when my brother got hit on his. Some guy was making a turn and plowed right into him. His bike was in pieces, the flashing light was missing so the police ended up giving my brother a ticket as well. He told them to go look in the ditch for it. Hope all you bikers stay safe!

DEAN - That's my job!!!! *insert realistic whip-cracking noise here* :bigsmile: I'm trying to set a good example and do my part too though...I biked 10.2 miles before work, walked 2 over lunch and did another 6.2 miles on the bike after dinner.
SCARFE9991 - Yup! You are firmly in the GREEN now! :drinker:
ANACONDA469 - I bet you're going to like them. I know I love mine. I've had cages/straps for many years so I'm used to that sort of thing, but I didn't realize just how much better clips are than cages! They're SO smooth! And unlike cages, there's no slack or play in them where you lose some of your power every time your foot transitions from pushing to pulling and back to pushing again. The snugness and firmness of the shoes make it such a fluid motion!! My only word of advice is this....consciously get in the habit of unclipping the foot you usually plant on the ground about 10-15 seconds *before* you come to a complete stop. Don't wait to do it as you're stopping...that will be too late. Also until you really get accustomed to them, adjust them so it doesn't take very much effort to twist out of them. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
