FS9-BS "Bad Survivor"@TatoGremlin wait like a bicycle crash? Is that even a thing, other than getting run over by some homicidal asshole in an SUV/pickup?
@FarmingWarMech lol i call any accident a crash bc it's a fun word
@TatoGremlin fair enough lol
I don't live in a place where I can bike to many places but I think the only bicycle accident I've ever had was car-induced, except for when I was still learning to ride ðŸ˜
@FarmingWarMech yeah, most of mine tend to be bad roads, bad weather or bad drivers
never been hit, but definitely have made the decision "hey i'd rather fall off this bike and hit the ground than get hit by a car, fall off this bike and hit the ground" a couple times
Kim@TatoGremlin I've had only one crash in four years of biking five days a week, 6 miles each way, through NYC traffic. That crash happened in February on the Brooklyn Bridge, where no cars are allowed. There wasn't even any pedestrians around, just me being dumb and turning too sharply.
