Somewhere around 30 is where I figure I would be ashamed to explain why I was riding by choice to the folks in the ER, 'cause I lost control or something blew by and hit me.

It's been in the20's lately, though. I was out in the cornfields on the weekend and up from the grass between road and corn comes this helium balloon! It proceeded to sail up into the sky off to the NorthEast... but how it got down in the grass half a mile away from anything is a bit of a mystery.

Oh, and carbon bikes blow all over the place... steel and even aluminum are better. I've protected light guys on light bikes sometimes
