My chief "witness", my cycle mechanic told me about a customer who was doing 35 MPH when he hit the back of a parked car.
Bike total write off, car damaged externally and internally. Internally? Yup, the cyclist went through the rear window.
Undeterred the same cyclist went out on his other bike 4 days later, with his head bandaged up. Did the same again to another car. Still doesn't wear a crash helmet!
2 bikes total write offs within a week.
I heard a lot of funny and not so funny cycling tales while I was waiting to go into court.
Going on from my previous thread, I've had a great safety idea so thanks Braincell -
Instead of buying a new synth, I'll put an mp3 player and speakers on my bike. I can play some of my rejects (and uploads) and no cars will come within 200 metres of me.
