Frying an egg for breakfast was probably the best way to respond to the attack--like climbing back on the horse after it throws you.
If only there were a way to have an SUV for breakfast. Bikies readers may be interested in checking out the work of Jeff Frings, a cyclist who works as a photographer for Fox6 in Milwaukee. He has his bike (and helmet, too, I think) rigged with cameras pointing fore and aft, and he has records of many collisions and near-collisions with drivers in the Milwaukee area. There's a link to a Fox6 story about him at: http://urbanvelo.org/bike-safer-still-going-strong/. His own blog is at: http://bikesafer.blogspot.com/. Mindy Preston wrote: > Haysh!
