Dear George, I used to run a small bike shop in Northern Ca. When I was renting a bicycle to a fellow he asked about the problems with serrated pedals,,,he explained that he was representing a client with severe legs injuries sustained in a bicycle accident and he was suing the shop,bike manufacturer,municipality in which the accident occured,AND the pedal manufacturer. THE MAN WAS ABSOLUTELY CLUELESS ABOUT THE MORALITY OF HIS POSITION. I kept wondering how many $5/hr rentals it would take to survive his suit.

I am just waiting for the individual to sue some footbrace manufacturer because his pegs came off in the surf and he missed a roll and injured his neck on the beach.

even with serious injuries people have to live with the consquences of their actions,the physician doesn't,the attorney doesn't,and the attorney wins,wins,wins.
