A little story about a cyclist ..
……..and a bit of physics.

Would you drive a car like this?

Maybe?
Then there is a good chance you would end up like this
![Page 4: A little story about a cyclist.. ……..and a bit of physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8a1a28abf838c8ab66/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Have they not heard of my Laws of
motion?
If you travel too close to the person in front then you will not be able to stop in time
If you fall off then gravity pulls you to downwards
When skin and road surface meet – skin wears off before the road surface

These guys ignored Newton at their peril……

Would this guy ignore Newton?
You would think he would know
better

Yes he did…
![Page 8: A little story about a cyclist.. ……..and a bit of physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8a1a28abf838c8ab66/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
One artist
impression
![Page 9: A little story about a cyclist.. ……..and a bit of physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8a1a28abf838c8ab66/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
And
another
![Page 10: A little story about a cyclist.. ……..and a bit of physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8a1a28abf838c8ab66/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
But it was very close to this…
![Page 11: A little story about a cyclist.. ……..and a bit of physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8a1a28abf838c8ab66/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Broken Leg at the hip
Damaged shoulder
joint
Smashed helmet and concussed
Lost skin from shoulder thigh
and legs
The outcome….
![Page 12: A little story about a cyclist.. ……..and a bit of physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8a1a28abf838c8ab66/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
But wait.. Physics comes to the rescue!
![Page 13: A little story about a cyclist.. ……..and a bit of physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8a1a28abf838c8ab66/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Physics discoveries helped design many of the features of this handy machine
![Page 14: A little story about a cyclist.. ……..and a bit of physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8a1a28abf838c8ab66/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The discovery of xrays enabled us to see the bones through the flesh to check for breaks..
![Page 15: A little story about a cyclist.. ……..and a bit of physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8a1a28abf838c8ab66/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
And this is my hip – can you see the break?
![Page 16: A little story about a cyclist.. ……..and a bit of physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8a1a28abf838c8ab66/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
And here is how it was fixed – bolted together with 3 bolts
All it required now is 3 or 4 months to heal.
![Page 17: A little story about a cyclist.. ……..and a bit of physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8a1a28abf838c8ab66/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
And the shoulder… No break – just a damaged joint
![Page 18: A little story about a cyclist.. ……..and a bit of physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8a1a28abf838c8ab66/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
A knowledge of Physics designed this helmet that saved my head
Surface scraped of on
the road
Foam lining broke to
reduce the impact
![Page 19: A little story about a cyclist.. ……..and a bit of physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8a1a28abf838c8ab66/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
To check that there was no bleeding around the brain a special x-ray device all CT was used
![Page 20: A little story about a cyclist.. ……..and a bit of physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8a1a28abf838c8ab66/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
This shows the slices of the brain that were imaged
![Page 21: A little story about a cyclist.. ……..and a bit of physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8a1a28abf838c8ab66/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
And this this is one of the x-ray images
![Page 22: A little story about a cyclist.. ……..and a bit of physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8a1a28abf838c8ab66/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
An another imaging process called MRI was used for even better images….
![Page 23: A little story about a cyclist.. ……..and a bit of physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8a1a28abf838c8ab66/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
And apparently, “nothing significant” was found!!!!
![Page 24: A little story about a cyclist.. ……..and a bit of physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8a1a28abf838c8ab66/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The moral of the story is…
Even if you (stupidly) ignore Physics…..
It may save you to ride another day
![Page 25: A little story about a cyclist.. ……..and a bit of physics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8a1a28abf838c8ab66/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
However if everything else fails then one could try the more traditional Chemical cure….
