Pedal Power

 

Scotsman Kirkpatrick McMillan created the first pedal powered bicycle in 1839, and was involved in the first recorded bike accident when, during a cycling trip to Glasgow in 1842, a small girl ran out in front of him leaving her a little bruised and him 5 shillings poorer! Over 160 years later the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) reported that over 15 thousand cyclists are killed or injured in reported road accidents and more than 2,300 are seriously injured or killed.

With more and more people choosing pedal power over increasingly expensive petrol power it is important to make sure that you and your bike are travel worthy. Wear a cycle helmet - better to look stupid than dead! Nearly three quarters of cyclists killed have head injuries, so a helmet can help your chances of survival. Wear some form of bright clothing, either a reflective jacket, armband or sash, make sure you are seen, especially during twilight hours, in poor weather and in the dark, though its worth noting that 80% of cycling accidents happen in daylight. Make sure your lights work front and back. Ensure that your bike and brakes are in good working order and reduce risk to yourself by using routes with cycle paths even if it takes a little longer. If the last time you pedaled was to and from school in the last century, consider getting some cycling proficiency lessons before launching yourself into the 21st century rush hour. The most dangerous hours for cyclists are 8am to 9am and 3pm to 6pm.

As a cyclist you are more vulnerable than most road users, therefore you need to be aware of where the potential danger areas are and ride defensively. Nearly 75% of accidents happen at or near junctions including roundabouts, usually because other road users have not spotted you. Watch out for the unexpected opening car door, many drivers and passengers do not look before leaving the car. Also be wary around lorries and long vehicles when they are turning left and you are on their near side, you may be in their blind spot.

Common injuries in bike accidents are to the arms and legs; these injuries range from cuts and bruises to sprains and broken limbs. Head injuries, which occur in over half of bike accidents, range from minor concussion to fatal skull fractures. That said one can not take away the fact that cyclists who use their bikes regularly will on average live 10 years longer than their sedentary "petrolhead" counterparts.

With more cycle networks spreading across the land it is becoming easier and safer to get on your bike. Also many dangerous road junctions are getting a cycle friendly makeover with cyclist specific traffic lights and lanes, and speed limits are being reduced in urban areas. Play by the rules of the road, do not jump lights or ride on the pavement, use your bell, lights and reflective clothing to make sure you are seen.

If you are involved in an accident contact a good personal injury solicitor. They will be able to pursue a cycling accident claim on your behalf that will cover any medical treatment you required as a result of the accident. They can also help replace that trusty two wheeled steed of yours and get you back in the saddle again.

As soon I became open about how I feel, he started to back pedal. What to do now?

We are middle aged adults that went into this thingy for different reasons then why we are continuing to "hang out". We are both somewhat involved w/each other emotionally. BUT as soon as I became more open and "out loud" about how I feel, he started to back pedal saying that he is not really ready for a relationship "of the caliber that we are at". (whatever THAT means???)

What do I do now Do I just remain indifferent and stay w/him for the sex (the reason why I started this thingy w/him in the 1st place)? OR do I do some back pedaling myself...a step or two....OR do I keep walking away. I guess I am wanting MORE then just sex from him now.

If all he wants is sex then there isn't much in it for you. You told him how you felt and he obviously doesn't have those feelings. That's why you get the commitment first before the sex and you would know where he was at. He's just using you, and doesn't want to invest anything other than sex which is a slap in the face for a woman wanting more. Get rid of him as your wasting time on this one. Go for the real deal by refusing to have sex until you find out whats really in their hearts first.
