sorry, i doubt this was meant to
be funny, and i'm sure the bike rider was screaming the whole way, but, i'm
still chukling. i sure do hope your friend is ok and that you all forgive
me for having a sick sense of humor.

Here's another good reason to wear gaiters.... a good friend of mine
did a lot of mountain biking. He wore gaiters. One day, he was on a narrow
brushy path and a rattlesnake struck as he pedaled past. The snake's fangs
hooked into his gaiters (not his leg thank goodness) and the snake was
stuck. Richard was afraid to stop pedaling, so he raced in terror to the
ranger's station and pedaled around (with the snake flopping along) until
the ranger came out and helped get rid of the snake.
