Make sure she's security conscious. Students are prime targets for theft because of the sheer amount of expensive equipment they carry around, or leave around waiting for someone to walk away with.
And your point is...? There's a certain level of skill required to operate one of these machines. Just like a motorcycle or car. As for myself, I would probably be careful not to ride one beside a cliff's edge. But if I saw in the news that somebody drove off a cliff, I wouldn't stop driving my car altogether.
Oh, they're fun to ride and easy to crash. Once you get the hang of it, they're not bad at all. I would be terrified of taking one on a public street, though.
I've watched 2001 without nodding off, and I've also made it through the last half of Rocky Horror Picture Show a few times (though with some difficulty - it really drags towards the end), so I don't think the problem was with me or my friends. Just because you like a movie doesn't meant that others will. You probably grew up with the books, and enjoyed seeing the characters you read about through 12 gloriously thick volumes. It may have blinded you to the bad acting, poor production values, cheesy script, or plodding plotline, or whatever made the movie dull to regular people who hadn't read the books. I don't recall what the problem was, since it was a snoozefest to me.
"This kind of thinking"? Do you mean concern for safety? Like wearing seatbelts or bike helmets? I think the cyclists in Boston need to accept the fact that during unusual, heavy snowfalls, maybe you can't ride your bike on that path until the plow gets around to where you are. Just like where I live, on a really heavy snowfall, my street may not be plowed for a day or two. That's what snow tires and patience are for. Yup, it's dumb to fill up the bike path in the first place, but perhaps they had no other choice? As for whom to sue in a cycle/car collision, it wouldn't be directly the fault of the bike path being temporarily closed. It would ultimately be the choice of the cyclist to take the road alternative, and fault would be determined just like any other road collision. First-World problem.
