I forget what the number of accidents due to this cause per year is, but it is quite substantial (hundreds). So take care when pedalling furiously away, and don't let your air pump get caught in the spokes (same result, down you go!) -- Bill Jefferys 8-% Astronomy Dept, University of Texas, Austin TX 78712 (USnail) {ihnp4,kpno,ctvax}!ut-sally!utastro!bill (uucp) utastro!bill@ut-ngp (ARPANET)
