Other cyclists in Australia break bones and incur nerve impairment from falling off their bikes in accidents. 

A cyclist could fall from his/her bike, inter alia, due to -
(i)      being hit by a car or another cyclist; or
(ii)     encountering a pothole;

(iii)    cycling too fast on a wet downhill where the coefficient of friction is much less, particularly at corners; or
(iv)    getting their bicycle wheel caught in a gap in a timber bridge.

A negligent cyclist could -

(a)    be litigated by a seriously injured cyclist, or 3rd party (ie. a woman pushing a pram on a footpath or a car driver) under common law where the damages could exceed $500,000; and

(b)    lose his/her home if he/she did not have public liability insurance which covers their negligence whilst on a push bike.

A negligent cyclist who did not have personal injury insurance (ie self-employed without income protection cover) could struggle to meet regular outgo commitments.

A seriously injured cyclist could be awarded damages which a negligent cyclist could not afford to pay if the negligent cyclist -
(I)     did not have public liability insurance cover; and/or
(II)    did not possess valuable assets.

Risk Management which warns of the dangers of cycling on public roads with motor cars, potholes and over bridges with vertical timber planks with gaps and cycling much slower on downhills on wet roads etc

1.       Muggs' 10th Annual KOM Challenge, where most of us will again camp at the Berry Showground, promises to be well attended with many of the pioneers who helped to launch it are revisiting (some with 'Billy Lids') for déjà vu, where some of them they think they 'still have it in the legs' -  Share cottage accommodation with John aka L'Etape  is available if you don't dally.  Otherwise pay the Motel or Hotel rates if you don't want to camp.

2.       Last Sunday's Somersby "Bellbirds" clockwise - where we did a 'Uie' at Mt White Village Store - 70km  -  10 starters, however, four of them, Bill aka Glasgow, Tony aka Yorkshire, Ron aka Draughtsman, and Terry aka Navigator had bolted when Bank Teller finally arrived at Mt. White following a 'senior's moment' by getting the rollout time RONG.
