I've realized that when I ride a newer bike with strong front disc brakes that I use only 1 finger for applying front brake pressure. When I ride older bikes with drum brakes I use 4 fingers on the front brake.
Since a promotion at work brought me to middle management, I now dress nicer for work and carry dress shoes in a backpack on the bike. That has me wondering if the backpack would maybe have worse implications during an accident (if landing on my back does it give more distance for my head to travel before meeting pavement?)
Just last week a co-worker took out a deer 20 minutes after sunset in his F250 on the very road I ride to work everyday....
And the Wisconsin DNR wants to buy more elk from another state to help build up the population here because the few that are here are being killed by cars!
It seems like the warm weather has us making fewer posts here so thought I'd submit some general ramblings.
