LOL You get hit by a Lincoln Navigator doing 35 mph, you're in a world of ****, bike helmet or no bike helmet. Hell, at that speed, you're in a world of **** even with a motorcycle helmet. For the more typical low speed accidents and collisions, bike helmets are useful though no panacea. Moderate statements have no place around here. HTH |

Which is why some states and provinces, like British Columbia, consider helmets a mandatory item for all cyclists regardless of age. |

Somebody apparently did something stupid to cause something a lot more stupid. That was jackass and entirely preventable. It's not like cyclists have effective horns to warn drifting drivers. The motorist was entirely a jackass. I don't see what the problem is. |

"Paul Berg" wrote in message ... ~ News report from KGW TV (Portland, Oregon) - August 17, 2007 Portland police arrested a driver Friday afternoon after a bizarre chase in which two cyclists were hit by a car in Southeast Portland. It all started around 12:30 PM on 1000 block of Southeast Clinton Street. Police said 46-year-old John Eschweiler was driving along when he reported a cyclist kicked his car. Officers said Eschweiler sped up and hit the cyclist, who rolled onto the hood of the car, smashing the windshield. The car continued on about 75 feet, sideswiping a car and hitting a truck before turning a corner where another cyclist heading towards the car was then hit, investigators said. Police arrested Eschweiler and charged him with two counts of attempted assault. The cyclists, 25-year-old Ben Ramsdell and 41-year-old Timothy Mastne, were taken to OHSU. Their injuries were not life-threatening. Neither cyclist was wearing a helmet. I seriously doubt that a road cyclist kicked his car. Maybe hit with a hand. What would be the reason? Let's see the scuff. |

Lesson to Learn: If you're on a bicycle, don't kick a car driven by a person as equally crazy as yourself. ~ |
