A U.S cyclist was taken to hospital after he crashed when a bee flew inside his bicycle helmet and began stinging him.
The 73-year-old was cycling in Omaha, Nebraksa when the incident happened.

Well Hello Berlin.

Looks like a girl’s bike. I thought you we a guy, but it looks like you’re a gal. Well it’s nice to hear from you from Berlin.

Berlin unveils plan for 3000-kilometre bicycle traffic network
My app says I rode close to 3,000 kilometers since January 1.
That is the distance to Israel.

This style of bicycle is unisex. At least in this day and age.
Have a great day!

Bicycles provide good - healthy exercise except when ridden on the same Roadways as motor vehicles. Bike lanes are dangerous too.

Bikes should be banned from Roadways that have motorize vehicle traffic.

It’s called a “step through” frame. Ideal especially for seniors who have trouble getting their legs up over a bar. I bought a step over e bike (what we used to call a boys bike) and sometimes find myself wishing I’d gone for the step through.

Why? Roads can be used by both cars and bikes. There is no reason to ban bikes. Bikes were around before cars, so do we ban cars instead?

“Roads can be used by both cars and bikes.”

Well Sir you are at risk of injury or death because Bikes are no match for Cars and Trucks. Bikes should stay where they belong - not causing accidents and injury/death.
