I don't get your point.

When I look in the mirror, I don't see a woman, nor do I see anyone either in their 30's or 40's.

Is there some relevance to her age and gender? Or are you just being you?

Maybe you're trying to say that it's not possible for anyone but a woman in her 30's or 40's (maybe one or the other but not both) to learn anything about staying alive on a bike from this tragic incident, certainly not college freshmen (or women) nor anyone who cares about a student and might pass along a reminder about truck blind spots.

God forbid that any thread here on A&S actually tries to discuss safety in a constructive way.

(to anybody reading this, save one, I apologize for the tone, but A&S has become more caustic than Drano lately, and I wish we could get back to constructive posting instead of dealing with snipers who wait to take pot shots on minor details.
