You can ban coffee if you want. That's cool with me, I don't drink the stuff. Even if I did it would be a hell of a lot safer than cycling in the trails, on the road, or in my own driveway. That's what you are doing, holding your breath. This issue has been looked at over and over again and you have lost. End of story. A grace period has been given as everyone suggested but only time will tell. Hey while you're after coffe, why don't you just gather all of us cyclists and find out how to wipe out all injuries. Let's not try to prevent common injuries, let's live in a make believe world without injuries. Later. bog
