On Labor Day, I was driving in Colorado from
Nederland to Estes Park up in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The road is essentially a mountain pass: steep, long, winding, with rocks on one side and valleys on the other. It was a beautiful sunny dry Colorado day and I enjoyed the sights. And so were many other people on the road. But I saw more than a few bikers who weaved in and out at 60mph on these roads, even if they couldn't see more than about 1/4th of a mile ahead of them. What the hell were they thinking??
Most of them weren't wearing helmets either. Seriously, that is just lame. When I'm on my bicycle, I always wear a helmet. It's saved my head a few times too (although I can't say the same for the scars I have in various places).
