Its a riders risk, even if not your fault there is nothing to protect the fragile human body

[Kate]

My friend had a bike accident last year. Now he's having a double hip replacement.

He told me that his bike was one of the fastest you could buy. He showed me a picture of it after the accident and it was in loads of different pieces.

Driving home in the dark this evening along a Cornish A road.

Oncoming cars started flashing me furiously... once they had passed & I could see again I accelerated up the hill, round the corner and stopped (quickly).

Cars stopped on both sides of the road, at least one car that I could see nose down in the trees at the side of the road. Amateur traffic manager standing in the middle of the road waving me through so it seemed best to do as directed.........

I'm not sure if there are a higher proportion of crap drivers in Cornwall than there were where I used to live or whether there is less traffic which allows everyone to travel faster on roads that are less forgiving but I am definitely seeing more serious accidents

Tis the commuters and boy racers (at 2 in the morning) making holes in the Cornish hedges.

I tend to travel slowly in Cornwall, to avoid all of the stone walls that they hide in hedges.
