yeah, I haven't done that in years--i've gotten old
i was conflicted about that, because so many others were doing it, and I ride a lot more conservatively than that day to day. I figured somebody would say something about that part of the video here, which is fine--I knew it wasn't very smart when I did it, but then, life without some calculated risks now and then isn't much of a life in my opinion.
But I take your point, and in fact while I was riding home on my own, I thought about my friend Kelly who broke his back and was paralyzed on a kawasaki, and whose spinal traction bed I set next to for four months in the Intensive Care Unit back in high school, watched him get addicted to demerol and have to kick that, spine surgeries, and having to use a catheter to piss, and on and on, and upon reflection I reckoned my old-fart regular riding style is probably something I should stick to.
But even so, it was a fun ride, and I'm glad I pushed it a bit that day. It reminds me why I don't ride that way anymore.
But if I said it wasn't a kick, I'd be lying.
