I had a recent accident on a bicycle. Serious injuries. The funny thing was, I rode my harley to a location where the bikes were and then crashed on a bicycle. When the Ambulance arrived, they would not let go of the motorcycle idea. They were nearly calling me and my friends liars. They demanded to see the wrecked motorcycle. There wasn’t one. It was very upsetting.
The hospital ended up sending me to different hospital because of differences of opinions. They were threatening to put me under and then treat me as they wish. They were claiming I had 4 broken ribs and a punctured aorta. I knew there was nothing wrong with my chest. I demanded a second opinion but they refused. They scolded me for vomiting blood all over the place. They tried to force a tube down my throat against my will.
The second hospital was much better. It turned out I was right about the broken ribs and punctured aorta. I should’ve sued the F-ing a$$holes for all they were worth, but that’s not my way. I’m healed and thankful there are no lasting disabilities...and back to riding my harley.
No bicycles though. Those things are death traps.
I think with bikes, the lycra wearing crowd were mentioned,
What were you riding???
I’d admit to have problems riding some road bikes out on the highway,
But cruisers for the neighborhood??? Mountain Bikes??
I think, with bicycling it depends on what one rides and obviously where.
