#1 Unread post by 2wheel »

Be smart on your bike. Her scarf got caught in her rear wheel and pulled her off! Ouch!

Scarves and motor vehicles have had their problems in the past.

Isadora Duncan, a famous dancer in the early 1900s, was killed in 1927 when her scarf got caught in the rear wheel of her Oldsmobile.

Long pieces of cloth and spinning wheels can be a bad combo.
