Don’t be a Hero, be consistent.
So I really love going to the track to ride my bike. Everyone here knows how track riding feels. O so good!
Sunday night I began to tell my wife, who has always supported me in whatever I decide to do, about what days I was planning to ride this year. She was not thrilled to say the least. Her argument was that track riding is dangerous. My argument was that street riding is MORE dangerous than the track. I know it's not the safest thing but you all understand what I am saying. It was late so we went to bed.
Monday morning came and it was nice enough to ride to school, but I didn't have enough time to put on all my gear. So I drove my truck. While I was sitting at a red light I got rear ended by some guy in a full size suv. While sitting in the ER my wife came in knowing full well that I almost took the bike that morning. She came over to me with tears in her eyes and said "You can ride on a track anytime you want to". She realized how dangerous the real world is when you are on a bike.
I'm not looking for any sympathy. Everyone was okay. I just couldn't believe what happened. Just thought I would throw it out there.
On the lighter side getting hit was way easier than discussing track days with my wife because she had made up her mind. Now I know what to do to win an argument.
