Bicycle, crash hat and accident

[Nick]

In London a lot of people choose not to have cars. You shouldn't judge everyone by your own parochial existence.

[Mrcheerful]

In London a lot of people are forced to NOT have cars, it is not a choice thing.

[Fredxxx]

What measure of force? Physical, mentall, emotional? Threats of violence?

With night buses and subsidised transport 24/7 it can only be a choice, a financial one. If I could get around quicker and cheaper using public transport where I live I would but I can't.

[Peter Keller]

Plenty of bicyclists are not organ donors. Plenty of motorists are organ donors. Both those statements are true if reversed.

[Peter Keller]

Perhaps "fracking" has been mis-spelled.

[JNugent]

Not at all.

[Mr Pounder]

This makes you immune from accidents does it?

How recently?

Wet weather gear has improved enormously since I was a kid. I never used to bother to put it on in drizzle - condensation made me as wet as the rain.

60 years of cycling without hurting anyone (or animal) says, yes.

[Capitol]

Hmm. Not much use as an organ donor then!

[Bod]

[Mr Pounder]

That means nothing of the sort. It means it has not happened.

[Bod]

And *won't* happen. Have you got pedestrian insurance in case you trip over and fall onto an old lady which breaks her hip? Have you got dog insurance in case your dog kills a cat or bites someone? "Does it have to be compulsory to make sense"? ;-)

Round here?

[The Medway Handyman]

Did I ever tell you about the cyclist my daughter attended who had 'de gloved' his penis?

[Mr Pounder]

Can you see the future by saying it won't happen then? Your pedestrian insurance question was just silly. Yes, we do have the dog insured in case she bites somebody, this is included in her health insurance. This makes sense but is not compulsory.

[dennis]

What's silly about it? Don't you have insurance in case you injure someone while out walking?

[Bod]

Where I cycle now, there is zero chance of injuring anybody the way I ride. BTW, there are no "blind corners" on the wide gravel tracks that I frequent. I rarely see anyone walking anyway, most days there are none.

[Mr Pounder]

I may have. Give me a while to check my policies.
