Just shout "bike!" as pleasantly as you can manage and let them decide where to go.

That brings to an end my small repertoire of horrible hand X-rays.

If I were attacked by a rampaging bear, I would probably develop a strong fear of bears and spend a lot of time warning neighbours not to leave their bins open because it might attract the bears and that if they encountered one, more than likely they would get mauled and probably killed too.

He had a nasty crash, it doesn't mean that everyone cruising down that path will suffer the same should they come off. We don't even know any details of his crash, perhaps he was mauled by a bear?

Australia and NZ have a long way to go, all this paranoia about cycling helmets is painful. I've had to explain to parents that we can't fit Nutcase helmets on toddlers because their neck muscles aren't strong enough to cope with the 300+ g weight of it. They don't care about the necks, they care about the heads and they buy the helmets regardless.

He's about 71kg, so that's over 8W/kg for 5 minutes. Fffffff.

I looked around the other forums, but I didn't see any institutions or names coming up, probably because it constitutes advertising? Anyway, I'm sure there are some self-employed people here!
