19 May '07

Hello BBTC bikers, Just a little reminder and invitation to join Mini Me ride #5 this Sunday. This one is the Rush Valley ride, which starts at the Camp Floyd/Stagecoach Inn in Fairfield and follows the old Pony Express Trail past Faust (where is THAT, you say? Come and find out), then loops around Deseret Chemical Depot past the canyons with the old mining towns of Ophir and Mercur, and back to Fairfield. Barbara Gardner, 801-554-8984, (thanks, Barbara) is leading this one. Dig out your maps or go to Google to find out where Fairfield is, and come join the fun. I hope you can make it. Robert

[BBTC Ride_calendar] helmets work
by jp2705＠comcast.net 18 May '07

18 May '07

Another helmet story anyone? This one is about a 5-year-old barreling down his driveway laying prone on a skateboard, going out in the street, and getting his head run over by a truck's back tire. He was wearing a bike helmet from the looks of what was left to photograph. A few lost baby teeth and a couple staples in his head later, the kid's just fine. Without the hat, he'd have had a smashed pumpkin for sure. See: http://www.deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,660221688,00.html john -------------- Original message -------------- From: cle13(a)comcast.net Hey everyone..... I need a copy of the picture of the helmet that went along with this email about bike helmets really work. I thought I saved it, but it has been deleted. I wanted to send it to a few friends. If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it. Thanks, Cristy

Thank you Kim, Yes helmets do work, and if I had not been wearing mine back in Oct. 1996, this response would never have occurred!! I will not bicycle nor ski without this vital piece of self preservation. I was crossing a 4 way stop intersection in semi-rural (plush) Sanata Barbara with designated bike lanes when looking to my right realized the auto coming into the intersection had not a clue to stop. I had no where to go, and she impacted me @ 25 mph, throwing me to the opposite corner of the intersection. My right shoulder (level 5 dislocation of collarbone) and thigh (massive hemotoma) contacted her vehicle, which catapulted me 45 degrees to the opposite corner of the intersection (for you engineers, how far was that? from mid lane in the NE quadrant of an intersection to pretty much the edge of the SE quadrant given luxury level So. Cal. roads with 6' marked bike lanes 150' ?). Anyway landed on my head, then left side with enough impact that my elbow caused 3 cracked ribs on my left side. Three surgery's and six month's physical therapy, I was back on that "horse", ONLY BECAUSE WEARING A HELMET SAVE LIVES! (MINE) It's a Brain Bucket...If you have a brain, care about it and fo r it...protect it! I'll get off the soapbox now Peter -------------- Original message -------------- From: "KIM HAGGIN" <bikerkim(a)msn.com> Bike helmets do work! I fell off my bike last year and landed on my head. Even though the side of my head was bleeding profusely, my head was just fine. By the way, I was wearing a Giro as well. I emailed the company to see what their replacement policy is. They gave me a 30% discount and I was happy to get another Giro since the first one saved my noggin. Just an FYI......

[BBTC Ride_calendar] MTB riding with the BBTC!
by Rob Y. 15 May '07

15 May '07

Hey BBTC! WE have had some great riding this past week up on the BST. Last Monday Jerry B. started a Monday evening ride heading out from the mouth of Emigration and there were six riders that came out to play in the dirt. Then two days ago, Sunday, There was a MTB ride that started out from Popperton Park as part of Salt Lake Bike Week, unfortunately I was the only representative from the BBTC. Eight riders went out on the trail, we had a fun ride with new friends. Last night was our second club ride, unfortunately Jerry couldn't make it so I led the ride in his absence. Five of us hit the trail on a perfect evening and had a fabulous ride. We missed you! Hopefully we will get to see a few new faces coming out to play in the dirt next Monday! Have a great week and I will see everyone tomorrow on the ride of silence. We must come out and show our support to all those that have been injured or died on their bikes. 7pm at the Galivan Center, come early and help stuff packets! Pedal Fast and Laugh Often, and please be safe out there! Rob Y.
