I’m sat here with a bunch of metal in my shoulder and a brain full of analgesia after coming off my mountain bike. I crashed at about a tenth of the speed I’d normally be going.
My helmet was trashed and definitely saved my life. I’m wondering whether extra padding would have saved me from weeks of pain, a surgery and months of immobilisation followed by months of rehab.
The thought of blasting down the road on a One wheel in T-shirt and jeans gives me chills now.
- sandos 3y agoI mean bikes are soo much better than one-wheels and boards... the way you can "just" use tha brakes more or less freely on a bike without worrying about getting your CoG right before you do.. priceless. But yes, of course people get hurt on bikes, too. But I believe you can be an order of magnitude safer at least.
