Hi my name is Randy and I live in South Lake Tahoe. I built my first MB last week and was already was hit on Tuesday the day before Halloween by someone making a last moment right turn. Luckily I was wearing my BMX or Skateboarding Mongoose style helmet.The bike's front part of frame is toasted... And my butt hurts from landing in the pavement first after shattering his windshield with my back. A bit of his paint is in the helmet and there are quite a bit of scratches on it. But nothing on me is broken just bruised and sore, so I am luckily than most when I am in a town where at least 1 cyclist is killed at weekly here even without motors. I had never wore a helmet till I motorized a bike, and when I got hit I was traveling no faster than I could normally pedal. So maybe motorizing saved my life ... I used the $90 Wish 80cc silver motor kit attached to a Big 5 Trek 7speed road bike. Well it was a learning experience for sure... Brakes Brakes Brakes and bigger mirrors and brighter lights because as always 'he never saw me'.
