I'm 29 yrs old and I love bikes but i'm too afraid to ride them I've seen a lot of friends get hurt because of some A$^%^S with their cars,trucks.
Buddy of mine had both of his shoulders, arms and one leg broken because some lady just backed out of her driveway as fast as she could onto a busy street (rural highway the speed limit is 55 the area is improved farmland) he plowed right into the side of her SUV going right through the rear window, helmet was the only thing that saved his life. While he was loaded up on a stretcher and put into the ambulance the A$$munch officer that responded was nice enough to point out to Dave(while laughing) the nice bumper sticker on the back of the ladys Suburban
