   Unfamiliar with basic dynamics?  Hit a 6,000-pound SUV head-on with both   
   vehicles traveling at 30 mph with a 600-pound motorcycle and see which   
   motor vehicle operator survives 99.999% of the time.   
      
   Hit a pedestrian at 40 mph with the 6,000-pound SUV and the 600-pound   
   motorcycle, and see which motor vehicle operator also gets severely   
   injured 99.999% of the time.   
      
   Even more true with a pedal bike that generally weights between 15 and   
   50 pounds.   
      
   But if you like proving yourself an idiot on Usenet, be my guest.
