Recent Corner Worker Discussion...


Look, moments of inattention are normal, and not something to blame him for. In my opinion corner workers make the environment safer, but it's still the RIDERS who have to take the risks and manage them. All the corner workers could be sleeping and I still don't see how we can place any blame on them.

The riders who piled into that turn obviously had a moments innattention as well. In the pictures the oil is clearly visible, as is the smoke from the crashing bike. in one picture I even see a rider negotiate the spill safely. Is anyone blaming the riders?

When I see evidence of a crash I check up unless I have enough info to safely keep pushing. Seven bikes down in the same incident seems excessive to me.

Another question that hasn't been asked is why did that guy ride straight into Jersey? And why did Jersey sit up?

You're not going to fix, or even improve this situation unless as a rider you recognize that the risk is higher than you thought, and you check up at the first sign of trouble and STAY DOWN when you fall.
