It should'nt do George. If someone came to grief in their car, would you stop driving? I doubt. Sad though it is, it's the reason so many people point the finger at bikes as being dangerous. They are not. It's either down to circumstances, or down to the rider.Originally Posted by ktm_man
Some people fall off every other week. Some people ride for the whole of their life and never have an accident. Few accidents are down to 'bad luck'.
I can't tell you how bad it makes me feel when something like this happens. But it also makes me feel bad for the backlash against bikes that it provokes. I will never consider giving up biking because of someone else's misfortune. I say it again, you are in charge of your own destiny.
