It is, but several years of theraphy and strong medicine helps quite some degree, however you can forget that racing career what you once find attracting
Today was the fist day that reminded me of winter cycling. Had to choose between 2 meter front visibility, or having tons of hard and cold snowflakes in my eyes while trying to hurry to the bus. Not to mention that the ice and other crap is still to come
If you have a bike that will cruise at 80 KM/h then yes, it will overtake. But if you have a minibike that fast you have either huge balls or a large amount of bullshit.
I hope you got a cool scar out of that, rather than permanent disfigurement.
I once rode a bike downhill into a set of trees and was lucky to not have my eyes poked out by branches. Worst injury I had was going downhill (again) while overtaking my best mate on the way to school, who decided it would be a good time to swerve onto the pavement. Needless to say I was in the way, his back wheel took out my front wheel and I had two very large holes in my upper arms, just in front of the elbows. I still have the scars now, although they're quite faint.
But if he would be a finn, that of course would not be anything special, finn would probably just take turbo engine from old brick shaped Volvo and put it into minibike and then drive it like there would be no tomorrow while posting comment to LFS forum, not that I would do such thing, or do I? :drugs:
