Hardly had I sent my message than I received a private note that the rage monkey Flunky did add something new about the "prevaricating Platyrrhine", which is a cheap attempt at sounding educated (alliteration takes talent to do right) and totally misguided. See, Flunky, you flunked again by not knowing that the Platyrrhine are in a South American parvorder, whereas I'm from Africa and identify more closely with the Pan Paniscus.

I coulda, shoulda written, and to someone I actually want to talk to, woulda written: The Germans went on a rampage shutting down coal-fired power stations on a whiff and a promise of wind and solar power which, of course, didn't materialize. But I was only writing to you, and I thought it was my social duty to keep you busy and thus out of the pub, where you would only get beaten up for being an obnoxious, ugly little man. You should thank me, but of course you lack the grace.

Feel free to admit you were wrong when you wrote "They shut down all fossil fuel power stations on a whiff and a promise of wind and solar power" any time now.

In your case, I think the term "bloviating shitbag" is more appropriate.

That was the last time I used lollipop pedals. If any bones were going to break it would have been a couple of years ago when my C40 started steering itself on a very fast sharp descent and I ended up falling into a culvert the same size as the bike at probably 25 mph (I had managed to slow the bike that much) I went from 25 mph to zero in one second - the amount of time for the tires to compress. I was sore as hell, but otherwise no damage. The ONLY bone damage I ever had was from an old style power mower with a bag on the side rather than the rear. The mower hit a bump hidden by the tall grass and lifted up and I stepped beneath it. The large toe on my left foot had to be amputated because of the damage not to the bone but the surrounding muscle tissue. That amputation took one week to heal to the point that I could walk normally and I was walking with a limp directly after the surgery. Can't say that it felt good though.

I was so far above the ground that I had time to actually plan my landing. The only damage was a cut small finger from the damn bike landing on me. Though I will say, that is probably a case in which the helmet actually protected me from head injuries. This isn't pertinent to Frank's disbelief in helmets though since he never rides off-road or in any case where he might be injured. That is a perfectly logical way to ride if movement from A to B is the idea. Even on Centuries I ride pretty hard. Despite not being able to climb much because of armed bicycle thieves in the Oakland Hills, I still have more than 21,000 feet so far this year. 95,000 last year and 250,000 in 2019

So have I. But slow and steady wins the race. If I can ride 3 days in a row my climbing legs return.
