Risk has many sides.
Death is inevitable at long last, but long and needless suffering is what I seek to avoid.
Then there's responsibility.
I've been a biker for almost 20 years but given up because of risk - If I die or get physically unable to work my family would suffer greatly.
I got struck by a rogue hubcap on the highway; the blow at shoulder height was enormous.
I looked at the broken windshield and thought myself lucky for not being on my bike right there and then. Sold it 2 weeks later.
