I have martial arts training, so that took over when I started to fall. My instructor made us do probably thousands of rolls, so there wasn't any thought to it. I was already starting to roll before I was conscious of hitting the truck.

Pretty much like this except from a bike, into a truck and onto the road. I know why my ribs hurt now lol.

I wonder how many deaths this will indirectly cause.

It was a bit difficult to find out if they were planting a single species or not, but it seems they aren't.

...seeds of the various tree species need to be sourced...

This too.

I use front and rear lights from MECs (Mountain Equipment Co-Op in Canada, similar to REI) in-store brand. They're not super bright, but they're bright enough so I can see where I'm going in random dark spots and generally be visible at night.

These ones. Though it doesn't look like the rear (red) lights are available any more.

It wasn't an intersection, rather an exit for a strip mall parking lot. Still, I think the main reason I was hurt was because of the lines of giant power poles that are in the middle of the sidewalk; a hallmark of my city. I think they're leftovers from when the area had no need for pedestrian infrastructure, let alone bike lanes, and no one's bothered to bury the lines.

What research has the government done to show this will work?

lol

Fr lol. I overheard the paramedics saying they were in the same place this morning for the same kind of accident, but that guy dislocated his shoulder or something.

Good to hear, yeah it's probably the wheels. Wasn't that big of an impact, everything's still banged up though (including me).

Imagine telling unions that they can't go on strike lol.

That's not "wire" that's barbed wire. Huge fucking difference.
