Welcome to the Tue, 07/01/2010 – 02:10 edition of Off Topic! You are looking at the next step in the evolution of VCN, the Off-Topic page. Have you ever been frustrated because you had a burning desire to call someone a sandbagger and could only hope to be timely by posting your comment to a photo gallery page or on a page describing a charity ride?

Well, your prayers have been answered! You can post your comment from the home page and it magically comes to rest here with the other orphans from the land of Misfit Comments. The page gets refreshed every day, but not to worry! Each day’s page will be archived and treasured, so you can look back on past pages with pride, shame or disgust-depending on how the day’s conversation went. So post away! We’ve got an internet to fill up.

“… that got me thinking about the key elements in avoiding crashing.

The first is to convince yourself of something that isn’t completely true — that you are one hundred percent responsible for staying upright and avoiding crashes.

…

The second element also involves attitude — it’s learning to not give up when a crash is happening and instead to do whatever it takes to find a way around or through it. Bikes might be falling all around you, but you’ve got to have the confidence to keep fighting to find a way out. Don’t accept that you will fall.”

– John Forrest Tomlinson, “Staying up in a crash”
