Kracken Sacroiliac.
At least he was wearing a mask when he fell off the bike.
Everything in Malibu is an effort it’s why they have nanny’s house keepers,lawn rangers.
About the only thin that isn’t an effort is lifting a wine glass and a joint and if your real good at it both at once.
What? You say he is brokeback?
“Some electric bikes go much faster than regular bikes, wonder how fast he was going”
Might have been standing still and just goosed the throttle into a back flip.
COVID-19.

He can mean cracked or fractured vertebrae
A completely broken back means paralysis or death....
More death the higher up the spine
I tell you what, why don't you do something easy, like 5 miles with 2500' of elevation gain and 2000' of elevation loss for a total of 500' gain, and then report back.
There isn’t a throttle on E bikes. It’s just an assist to your pedal effort.you can set them different ways for how much boost you want.
To me it’s cheating but to each his own.
I’m betting he was practicing with clipped pedals and didn’t get out of them in time.
No one I know of.
Lol, that’s his “favorite” beer? I bet couldn’t pick it out of a blind line-up of a dozen other light beers.
I shouldn’t have said _drive a standard._ I meant “ride a plain ol’ bicycle.”
Ah. I read you now. You mean climbing a mountain road on a bicycle and descending it on the same, yes? I bet my heart would burst. I don’t think Simon was doing anything like that.
First Katie Price breaks her feet, now this. They always happen in threes. Quick, somebody find a meaningless fame whore we can push down stairs.
He wasn't at the time, he was just seeing what the fool thing was like, but there are uses for electric bikes.
The are good for sedentary people who somehow, suddenly have to ride a bike. Especially older people.
I have known people who lose their driver license due to a DUI and have to resort to an electric bike to get around...
Or people who work in an office and want to ride a bike to work but don't want to be sweaty when they arrive.
YouTube video? Lots of company to be found.
Simon needs wheelie bar and trainers?
