And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Nothing like cushioning your bicycle crash with your face. This time it really will leave a mark. Man, that gotta hurt. But, they say you really aren't a biker till you have some road rash. Hope she has a good plastic surgeon. Pretty girl non the less.
The big problem with bicycles is the lack of protective gear, from my perspective. After years of motorcycle riding and racing, getting on a pedal bike has me feeling like I'm naked. I've known girls that have gotten hurt lots worse crashing bicycles than they ever did on motorcycles. Part of that is the speeds are not that different in most crashes.

I don’t have any medical training but I’d be happy to try.
