withdraw from the race.

He had his hand in the spokes when it occurred, apparently.

Of course, you were 'told' no such thing. This is just another strawman
that you made up.

No, rotating couples and all sorts of bollocks were spouted to prove
that a cyclist never, ever, goes over the handlebars.

Please provide a URL to google groups, showing a post in which any cyclist
on this newsgroup ever claimed, 'a cyclist never, ever, goes over the
handlebars'.

Read back through the archives, it is there.

[Anthony 'Piss_Taker' Janssen]

Another dumbarse troll who thinks that he can make claims and then refuse
to back them up.

That's now how it works, cancerboi. You make the claim, you provide the
proof.

[Roger Merriman]

regardless if it is or not.

A young man in a road race attempting to ajust something on the fly, who
apart from braking his nose also has fractured his skull, no bleeds? so
hopefully a full recovery.

But that is a world away from most folks use.

[JNugent]

Have you not noticed yet that you are the only one asking for this evidence?

The rest of the usual suspects (here before you) know full well that
such claims and assertions were made.

And in the same vein, where do you think the "fridge-freezer" line came
from?

The group was solemnly assured that almost every cyclist was insured
against third-party risks by their domestic insurance (even, apparently,
in the relatively high proportion of low-income households that don't
have any insurance).

[MrCheerful]

I am still waiting to see all these cycling posts that you make, you
haven't been able to show those, yet claim they exist.

It started as a helmet argument with the claim that "going over the
handlebars" required a helmet. The counter argument is that there is no
rotation to tip the head down and the person making the original claim was
asked to show where such rotation could come from. He provided plenty of
videos of people "going over the bar" in the attempt to give proof but none
showed the necessary rotation. He failed.

Needless to say, all this went over the heads of the usual suspects and the
summary they produce is miles away from the discussion.

[Anthony 'Piss_Taker' Janssen]

Good attempt to divert attention from my question. But not good enough.

If you want to claim that someone on this group made a post containing the
words 'a cyclist never, ever, goes over the handlebars', or even that
someone made a post implying this, then _you_ supply the proof.

[Anthony 'Piss_Taker' Janssen]

In other words, the trolls are making things up.

Fancy that, eh..?

[Anthony 'Piss_Taker' Janssen]

Ah, the tory troll and his (in)famous command of the concept of logic...

I would suggest that they 'know' no such thing, because no such 'claims

and assertions' were made.

Dazzle me.

Again, a blatant lie, because no such thing was ever claimed.

[JNugent]

Nobody has made any claim that that specific string of characters has
been used.

... but it's impossible for them to do that.

[Anthony 'Piss_Taker' Janssen]

They're too careful for that, aren't they?

So, for an extra brownie point:

Please provide a URL to google groups, showing a post in which any cyclist

on this newsgroup ever claimed that cyclists never, ever, go over the
handlebars.

[JNugent]

Would you think so?

No, of course you wouldn't.

No.

Isn't it a shame that you are incapable of actually discussing anything
in the manner of an adult?

It must cause you no end of embarrassment in everyday life.

From Macaw earlier

Unstable contraptions those bikes:

Ah well. A lot of energy in that wheel (amazing how high into the air the
bike went).
6:08 is the usual type.

Yet he _still_ looks better than most motorists!

Well, you've gone strangely quiet.... I wonder why that should be.

Yep, it certainly went up.

I was once hospitalised after a similar emergency dismount. I had a head
injury which I always suspected was due to the bike landing on the back
of my head but I was never sure if it was possible. This video tends to
suggest it is possible.

That footage has obviously been fabricated : cyclists cannot go over their
handle-bars - it is a physical impossibility

[MrCheerful]

Apparently you must now quote the details of the post that used that
exact string of words.

Oh, look ...... another straw man. Poor thicko cunt loses another one!
