Did you kiss the part where there is an entire wheel in the way?It's not....he is coming in underneath the wheel with the disc angled up towards his leg.
Visualize two bikes lined up side by side, with their left sides facing each other (so one is facing one direction, the other bike in the other direction). Lean them over so the "disc bike" is leaning to the left (disc side) and "Ventoso's bike" is leaning to the right (drivetrain side) and you will see what I mean.
WTF are you talking about?
The bikes were not going in opposite directions.
I'll eat my bike if they are able to prove that a disc caused that injury.
Umm...no one is talking about going in opposite directions...Ventoso says he had to break and came into contact with the rider who had stopped in front of him...they both stopped, Ventoso just didn't go down. Re-read what I wrote and apply some critical thinking.
I have read it at least a dozen times and cannot figure out what you are trying to describe. I tend to think that I am good at critical thinking but you may have to draw me a picture.....
If the left sides of the bikes (each bike) are facing each other, then the bikes are by definition going in opposite directions, which you say, "(so one is facing one direction, the other bike in the other direction)"....
This is not at all what is described by the injured rider in the link in the first post. As near as I can tell, neither rider went down and the injured rider has no memory of contacting the other bike. But by all means, feel free to invent a scenario where monkeys can fly.
ETA. The visual just became apparent to me. I get what you are describing. I think that there is absolutely no way that this could have happened without both riders going down (both riders facing at right angles to their actual direction of travel) but at least I now understand. I don't think it happened but, alas.
