We should all remember that crashes happen with no reason too. It's quite possible that a flat caused the crash - but I can tell you from experience, there's not always a reason. Emily can tell you how she crashed (ouch!), but I have no idea what caused me to flip my bike and land on my head a year ago. I've been back over that section of road, and there are cracks in the pavement, and it's likely there was stuff on the road. But a reason? Couldn't tell you. I'm not trying to be a fatalist, but sometimes **** just happens. I'm sure I wouldn't be here today if I hadn't been wearing my helmet - just like Bike Goddess's bike club fellow.
