:( Bikes are damn dangerous, thats for sure.

My dad's a surgeon so he tells me stories all the time about kids coming in all mangled from bike accidents in order to deter me from getting a road bike.


I was watching a show on car safety and they showed that airbags in bikes can make a big difference in many collisions. Do any manufacturers have airbags for them? It'd be nice to see some safety measures going into bikes. I had a dream last night I ran head on into a tree riding a black kawi :thumbsdow

Not too many places on a bike where you could put an airbag. And I dont know how much help it would be if you're flying off the bikes anyways if you crash. Some situations I can see it helping a bit, but it could also be fatal and throw you off the bike even more so.
