Very healthy object. Why would this happen? Bad weather earlier? Hmmm....

Re: The unexpected...
According to gn2 he wouldn't be a pansy because he got hit by the tree, but he would be because it looks like he has the infamous "L" on the front fork.
You have to admit that he did a great job keeping the bike upright. Maybe for that alone he should be allowed to remove the "L"

The guy is an instructor on a school bike, so he gets a dispensation.

I'd have to change my pants to. Lucky he was on the side of the road he was or it really would have got him. Makes you stop and think. You never know but you may as well have fun while you can because the day is coming when the fun your having now will be never more.

They didn't teach 'looking up' as part of my CBT! Wow, what are the chance of that!
