another wise man. this thread has made me think back, and wonder why
anyone who knows about machines and human interaction would ever consider
riding? my Dad, a construction lineman, discouraged them. and most folks
with real experience admitted to the dangers. we rcm'rs s/b smarter(!),
right? --Loren


I rode for a number of years until I broke up my knee pretty bad, about 13
years ago. I sold the bike as soon as I could walk on crutches. Haven't been
back on a bike since. The little bit of pleasure I got out of riding wasn't
worth all the pain and agony I went through. And I know I was lucky.

All I have to do is look at the 10" scar and it reminds me. The knee hasn't
ever been right since and never will be. Aches bad whenever I over use it.

Those that ride without a helmet are nuts!
