Yes i understood what you meant..... there's many forms of dementia of course, including Alzheimer's. With an ageing population, its becoming ever more apparent as well.

One of the main problems i see with cyclists, is their absolute aversion to having to stop, its almost as if its built into their psyche that they must keep moving at all costs. I get the fact its annoying to lose momentum and have to start pedaling from a standing start..... but is it really...
