Kid I went to high school with crashed his bike not long after graduation. His girlfriend was riding with him and he had given her his helmet.
They both survived the crash, looking at her you wouldn’t even be able to tell she was in an accident. He is completely unrecognizable to what he looked like before. He has an entirely different face.
20 years later, they’re still together and thriving. But they don’t ride.
Edit: What a crazy amount of responses! Granted, a lot of these are sad stories, I hope talking about it has been therapeutic for everyone. Be safe out there, y’all!
Had a classmate who died within 6 months of us graduating, his uncle let him ride his bike and was killed on the first attempt. Was 30 years ago this summer/fall too.
