but PLEASE be careful and sensible out there, folks. We had a young couple killed in a bike crash this week in our county. If there were ever two preventable fatalities, these were them. Facts:
1. Riding a brand-new bike (had it 2 days), much bigger than he had ever ridden before;
2. In the wee hours of the morning;
3. Heading home from a bar;
4. Wearing no helmets;
5. Estimated speed of 82 mph;
6. Misjudged a curve, went off a steep embankment, both hit trees.
Sad, sad, sad. And stupid. And totally unnecessary. Two 25-year-olds, planning a November wedding.:sad:
