Yup, 3 easy ways to die or get permanetly injured. Riding is good for the soul but a lot of common sense and skill is involved. Even when you do everything right you can have a mishap and be laid up for quite some time. BurkesBuild was doing everything right until he fought that stupid dog and lost. More proof that even a low speed get off can leave you bent and broken.
Acting manly on a bike can have dire results. I don't ride with those kinds of riders. They are not thinking far enough down the road and thinking "What If ?????"
Thinking of worst case scenarios can make you more aware of what to look for when riding. We can't avoid dealing with other riders, cars and wild life but we can make it safer.
Just yesterday on my nice Sunday ride I made a point of changing to the left lane(inside lane) before passing by a view point. As luck would have it a cager barreled out of the view point into my previous lane position. Another What If just possibly saved me some bloodshed and pain.
