So is a right angle.

but, yes this guy should have been wearing a helmet!

Sometimes, there are more than enough bystanders helping, and taking pictures doesn’t hurt.

Recall also that two wrongs don’t make a right. Neither do three wrongs.

Dipshit A who rides a bike in SF without a helmet

or

Dipshit B who sees a fellow human being badly injured and “stands around taking pictures like a jackass”

Seriously, fuck you both.

I went down on the Muni tracks in January and was almost run over by a bus. A random homeless dude jumped in front of the bus to wave it to stop… I walked with a limp for almost a month.

The helmet protected my dome.

A giant citywide umbrella to keep the streets dry. It would be cheaper than tearing up the existing infrastructure, and bikers would never have to worry about traveling in wet conditions ever again.

Wake up Gavin Newsom!

the scene: same thing happened to me last year. 2am. a foggy night. the DPW jerk did not stop spraying market though we asked him as we passed. my friend made it past the wet tracks but i did not. boom.

and the cop passing by asks “why are you out this late?” never asked if i needed help. never got out of the car. merely asked how the midnight movie i saw was.

glad a few folks helped this guy out. keep it up.

You should know that you might NOT die in a bike tumble without head protection. However, it could be worse. You could be paralyzed, or have more brain damage than you already have. Then, you’ve just become a burden to your friends and family. Cool.

Helmet=friend.
