What I often see with club group riding is the group is to large. When you have a group of say 30 bikes with no break (or sub-groups) it is nearly impossible to pass on a two lane road. Often you will see a motorist pass only a portion of a group th…

I have no doubt that some injuries would be less like to occur if the vest properly inflates.

James R. Davis replied to Andrew Kass's discussion 'Air Vests...Has anyone used them?'
I was sent an air vest along with sufficient CO2 cartridges to inflate it three times by a well known manufacterer in an effort to get me to test it and write up my reactions. I had earlier told him what my measurements were so the vest was properl…
