PS- Please limit you television time to re-runs of "Little House on the Prairie" or "The Waltons" as other shows may contain blood/action/violence which could raise your blood pressure and produce harmful side effects.
Hey, that's great advice! There's no point whatsoever in discussing how to avoid crashes, minimize damage, etc., while still bicycling. Just like how you accept regularly crashing into other cars and things as a fact of life of driving!
