Why is it anyone’s business what one wears riding a bike? It’s their life….
Speed limit on the part of Sherman Farm is 30mph. How much do you want to bet he was going way over that?
I hope he fully recovers.
I remember actor Busey, and his no-helmet accident.
My late husband and I enjoyed riding, my family too, all adamant on a full face helmet, jeans, boots, and a leather jacket. Wonderful memories. Never know when an accident may occur, full protection. Nowadays we see no helmets, shorts, sneakers, muscle shirts…..ouch ouch. The risk…
