I never took drugs to improve my performance at any time. I will be willing to stick my finger into a polygraph test if anyone with big media pull wants to take issue. If you buy a signed poster now it will not be tarnished later. --Graeme Obree

Seriously, he's got lucky there I think. OAP driver could quite easily have froze and taken him into the wall.

In this case, it may be that wearing a helmet would have resulted in serious injury or death, as the helmet might not have fit underneath the car. Low profile does have its advantages.hazel, West Sussex, United Kingdom, 1 day ago wrote:I hope he had a helmet on!
