This is what keeps me off bikes.

The guy could have done nothing to avoid this and it was totally the car's fault.

I don't know if he lived or died, but he was carried away in an ambulance after they scraped him off the pavement.

It's not how careful you are... it's how blind other people are.

There's no protection on a bike.
No thank you.

These are my thoughts exactly. Not that I fear death that much... it might be a welcomed change. But my family needs me to hang around.

I am a firm believer in the Old Paths

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945

"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
