   "Myth 7: A Skilled Rider Should Be Able to Handle Almost Any Situation"
   This is not a myth. A skilled cyclist CAN avoid ALMOST any situation. I e-mailed Cruiser mag about this. This line of thinking discourages a continuing learing process & encourages riders to focus more on expecting others to watch out for you. YOU can't make others a better driver. YOU can improve YOU. If that's true than I guess get rid of that silly motorcycle saftey course & track day courses. I guess Valentino Rossi is just as likley to be unable to avoid most situations as a newbie with his permit. Most accidents I see with cyclists could've been avoided if the rider had been paying attention &/or not have target fixated. More so had the rider have had the skills to react properly. If you don't possess the learned skills to make quick moves properly on a regular basis you won't be able to make them in an emergency. People focus on making their ride "look" better & rarely focus on improving their skills. PLEASE, at LEAST read Keith Codes "Twist of the Wrist vol 1 & 2". It can SAVE YOUR LIFE if you APPLY theses basic teachings on a regular basis.

   Another myth is that safety belts in cars can prevent you from being saved when your car ends up in a river.
   On bikes, Rotten.com shows a rider with half his face missing because he hadn't a helmet or just an open faced one. It doesn't matter. You stand more chance of surviving a shunt wearing one, than without.
   Blue Skies everyone.

   I used to work for a brain injury services non-profit, that helped people with brain injuries (for free).  Brain injury is the #1 killer in the US. That's right #1... But because it comes under different titles, the figures are diluted by other names.  but brain injury beats out cancer by over twice as much.  The story I always tell to people who complain about helmets is this personal story.  "while working at this non-profit a I met a 25 year old guy would come in  and work stapling paper together... he had to have a special board made for him just to staple, he has little control of his motor skills. Also while speaking we would switch into multiple languages while speaking, sometime even mid-sentence.  Before his motorcycle crash, where he was only doing about 30 mph and not wearing a helmet, he was a budding translator who had spent most of his youth learning 7 languages, in hopes of working for the government, security, or the UN.  A helmet would have saved him, a helmet would have kept his mind intact.  Where a helmet folks, it's just stupid beyond all stupid not too.

   DO NOT WEAR A HELMET,. The world does not need stupid people. So please, if you're stupid, or a moron, dumb, etc., forget about the helmet.

   Well thats really big of MC Cruiser to pop these myths. Of course they are carefully worded so as to make each a myth. There are few absolutes in life and the same is true for riding. Stay alert and stay alive.
