Safety for Cyclists Forum in Arcata on December 8

I'm hoping our safety forum will move biking front and center in this community. And of course, I hope to learn something.

I've had three falls in the past 30 years; the most recent was this morning. Fortunately, all three were low speed failures. Happily I made a three point landing each time: both gloved hands and the top of my helmet. Fall number 2 left a five inch crack in the top of my helmet. I donated the helmet to my doctor, who hung it in his waiting room, a mute warning to one and all (this could have been your head).
