I broke both arms in a crash several years ago -- sudden over-the-bars experience like yours, only caused by a dog darting out into my wheel. Um, into? As someone else asked about a different crash: so what happened to the dog? I almost had that accident a few weeks ago. Goddamned border collie, too. Today was really weird for me. Dog runs out and tries to bite me, after ignoring my wife just ahead of me. Kick to the face stops him. A man then watches my wife pass by while tossing a cigarette in her direction, not noticing that I'm behind her. I ride into the path of the cigarette. 5 meters later, a van slows down, and I slow to go around it on the right. Just as I'm about to reach it, he slams on brakes, and throws it in reverse. Only the fact that I have a loud voice saves me from being crunched. This all happened within a 100 meter stretch. I'm avoiding that area for awhile. Michael J.
