That's good to hear.
Not your issue, but I just got my friend's commemorative patch to sew on my vest, and your experience, and the recent posts about others' passing, is making me think about the loved ones left behind after death takes someone.
There are probably (hopefully!) folks who love you and who would be devastated should you go senselessly.
I'm not trying to be preachy or scoldy- we all get on our bikes and it's a risk every time. But it's no fun to assist with an ambu bag and CPR, or stand back and pray when EMTs are hitting someone with paddles. Your buddy's dad could have been in that position today, is what I keep seeing.
