On another note, and as a public service I wanted to tell a little story. I just got out of the hospital after a two day stint for an e-bike accident. It was not really much of an accident, was not going fast (maybe 15 mph) on a dirt road while on vacation. Drove into a sun baked wheel rut that would not allow me to turn out of it and I tipped over sideways. It happened quick and I hit pretty hard on my right side. Whacked my head pretty hard but since I was wearing a helmet there was absolutely no head injury. So after taking inventory of my body parts and brushing off the dirt I felt OK but we decided to head back. By the time we got home I had some torso pain and suspected a broken or cracked rib. After washing out the wounds from the road rash I found that I was having a little difficulty breathing that I chalked up to the rib pain. A couple hours later the breathing difficulties could not be accounted for by the rib pain and I decided to go to the only ER with 100 miles. It was a little 2 bed affair with a country doctor. They had to get their radiologist out of bed to come over and take x-Rays. Sure enough, I had a broken rib that had punctured my lung and deteriorated into a pneumo-thorax (collapsed lung). I needed a chest tube right away. They brought in the Chest Tube kit that looked like they got it off a back shelf and blew off the dust and proceeded. So long story short (I know, too late) they tried to put in the chest tube twice and failed at the ER there before they put me in a helicopter and flew me out to Sutter Roseville medical center near Sacramento California. There they successfully put in a chest tube which allowed my lung to re-inflate. Two days of observation later and they released me. So in the end I guess what I am saying is that even if you are keeping it slow, and even if you are never in traffic, you can easily have a life threatening accident. If I had not been wearing my helmet I am sure I would have had a concussion or worse (and I know what I'm talking about as I have been an EMT for 30 years). So WEAR YOUR HELMET...EVERY TIME! I will admit that on a time or two I have gone on test rides and such without mine and now, looking back, I am horrified by what could have happened for the single purpose of vanity. Now, down off my soap box. Carry on. OBiwan.
