That would not be the way to keep in touch with family I am sorry to hear that. Incidentally the closest i ever came to falling off a roof was reaching for a ball cap that had blown off. Happens fast.

Get em off the paved roads and you'll reduce deaths by 90%, plain and simple. Wisconsin has stats going back years, in the last 5 years since road routes have exploded in popularity you won't find a year when trail deaths number more than a few, while road deaths are in the teens and twenties.
Almost as if they weren't meant to be operated on paved roads. The road routes are expanding. I think they have a lot of clout b/c they spend so much $. Some of the machines are so big I'm not really sure what they were designed for

That's tough one. Very sorry to hear that....I probably will start helmeting up when I ride my electric bike around.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Luckily it threw me and zippie dog clear found a rock with my back but no broken bones. It doesn't take much to get hurt out on the line so everyone stay safe this year.
No matter where you go there you are.

Don't know if this was posted or not, but in MN a 4 year old was killed while DRIVING an ATV that he lost control of. I know what you're thinking: What was a 4 year old doing driving an ATV? All I can think is: Good question!
Must be nice to eat ice cream as fast as you want and not have to worry about brain freeze.
