Guidelines- No names. This is to protect the families from emotional trauma and avoid complicating any legal cases. No names means NO NAMES, period in this thread.
- Location/date/time/known conditions
- If a post is speculation, it MUST be identified as such
- Respect and decorum at all times: Think rules of order. No insults or barbs.
- Follow general Bike Forum Guidelines and policies
- If an impasse is reached, agree to disagree and possibly revisit the issue later after all parties have had time to think.
- If you do revisit an issue, link back or quote the specific post in this thread to avoid confusion
Follow these guidelines and this can be developed into a resource for the forums and cycling in general.
Good idea, but I'll break you're rules. ("No names.")
The only really serious "accident" I had on my bike was when a pedestrian intentionally knocked me off my bike. Sent me to ER. The morphine did it's job.
I'll never put myself in that position again.
Motorists have never hurt me. Ever.
