However, it's unlikely that any of the collisions shown in the Bicycle Safety Manual would've ended worse than some bruises and scrapes to show off to their friends. When I was a messenger and food delivery cyclist in my early 20's, I rode very aggressively and got into my fair share of accidents. Even flying completely over a car with no helmet left me quite alive. I'm not advocating unsafe riding, but it's amazing what people can live through.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04297108765430935801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492685525705691186.post-55367794226575260842017-02-14T03:27:31.276-05:002017-02-14T03:27:31.276-05:00It always kills me, (maybe some day literally) whe...It always kills me, (maybe some day literally) when the newspaper reports the police on the scene saying things like, "There was no way the driver could have seen that cyclist. He was invisible in the dark. (Substitute; "when the sun got in the driver's eyes, etc.) Poor drivers, they can't be expected to see, even with street and headlights. I call this the police, and newspaper, doing the defence attorney's job, defending the driver. Of course, if they do their job well, there won't be any need for a defence attorney because even the most egregious driving won't result in charges.Vancouver Island cyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15150635169233877051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492685525705691186.post-59203733670447357702017-02-08T17:36:41.890-05:002017-02-08T17:36:41.890-05:00Couldn't figure out much about the Police Safe...Couldn't figure out much about the Police Safety Council in Milwaukee. The address doesn't actually exist, it is now on the run up to the Wisconsin Avenue viaduct.
