I and a friend were riding one day from Toronto (Canada) to Brantford. It was sunny and after about an hour he was complaining abour a massive headache. I loaned him a pair of sunglasses and within 15 m inutes his headache was gone. He was also amazed at how sunglassed reduced his feeling of fatigue.. Another time I was riding at speed when a large bug hit my left lense with such force that the lense cracked. Any glasses are also very helpful for keeping noseeums and other small bugs and dust out of your eyes. Cheers |

IN LARGER TERMS, a stroke may occur with the combination of overexertion and aging then trauma. Nixon In Russia may be an example or Brandt On Doone ?
I hoped for his return and off course he may nhave returned somewhere under another ID but as the daze dwindle down RBT may not be as entertaining or educationally advanced as it was before. Surly 36 comment is pot and kettle quality. |

No. Where do you see ironic aspects? -- Best regards helmut springer panta rhei |

It's been about 2 years since he had a serious accident on his bike climbing up to skyline boulevard from Palo Alto. Not only did he injure his leg, but he had a stroke while in the hospital. Unfortunately, he was not wearing a helmet when this happened, it was one of his "religious beliefs" that he should not wear helmets, and I think he sustained some very permanent brain injuries. Even the strongest believers in foam hats would be unlikely to wear one in the hospital, where his brain injury (from stroke) happened. Nor would many of them attempt to imply that a foam hat would make any difference in those circumstances. Still, bit of an ironic coincidence, don't you think? AIUI strokes are typically the result of a blood clot from the leg being mobilised and lodging in a blood vessel of the brain. Lack of adequate cholesterol levels are contributory to the inabilty to protect along with other immune system inadequacies. A clot from a deep vein thrombosis in the leg lodges in the pulmonary artery and ultimately in the lung(s). yes, I'll have a sleep on that. It can't get to the brain unless there is a hole between the right and left ventricles. An there may be other explanations. ischemic stroke results from clot in the arterial system. There is a known stroke risk associated with hip replacement, but not from DVT. hmm, I suspect that there is much not known. We also don't know if Jobst had an ischemic (clot) or hemorrhagic he appeared quite muddle-headed in this ng for at least 6 months before his fall.

In 1987 I was using a dail-up modem to send overseas telegrams because it was cheaper than a fax to Japan. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

I've heard that for many years. And Google sources say it's true, so how can one possibly doubt? ;-) I'm not particularly worried, since I've used photochromic lenses for many decades, and my understanding is that most, if not all such lenses block almost all UV. It does amaze me that we somehow evolved in a way to be harmed in so many ways by the sun. It's not like sunlight is a new phenomenon. - Frank Krygowski |

I googled and found http://www.mmg.com.au/local-news/ben...mas-eye-1.2030 Noting that they say "It’s unique to the north-east area, ", which I assume means north-east of Victoria, and not as far south as Melbourne. Nasty! Riding around Alexandra, Yea, Seymour, Euroa, etc., I recall a few times getting a small black insect in my eyes, which caused great irritation on the spot, but could be seen by another person and removed, and the eye irrigated to alleviate most of the discomfort. -- JS. |
