Re: Idiot cyclist survives high speed train encounter
Oh My God! Wham Bam! Smack!
When I was young on my peddler @ speed of 10mph, I rode smack into the rear of a parked car. Dead center. I flipped off, hit the car then pavement. Ouch! Bad day. As I got older, I did worse. Why? For fun. Just dumb chances I took and paid for (ahem, an ongoing payment)
I can imagine how this guy felt

Re: Idiot cyclist survives high speed train encounter
When I was a young kid (born risk taker), I lived in Melbourne, Australia. They run trams there, and I owned a fixed wheel bicycle, no brakes. For fun, my mates and myself would hold on to the back of the tram and get towed along between the tracks.
Now I rant and rave about dumb things kids and adults do.
I'm living proof that that you do get a little smarter as you get older, but not a whole lot, I still ride a scoot

Re: Idiot cyclist survives high speed train encounter
I can recall doing dumb things when I was young, but we always had a deep respect for trains. They kill, and there are very few who live to discuss their absence of common sense if they get in the way of one.

Re: Idiot cyclist survives high speed train encounter
The one good thing is that remembered pain is nowhere near as bad as actual pain.

Re: Idiot cyclist survives high speed train encounter
That is good?? If you forget how much pain you were in after you did something stupid, what are the chances that you will do the same stupid thing again? Let's ask Evil Knievel. Oh, wait. He's dead.
