Hi guys, I watched a show on PBS few days ago about brain fitness and they said that when people are afraid of falling they train themselves to look down at their feet while walking, instead of looking ahead, and that throws off the balancing system and they tend to fall more often. Therefore, they need to retrain themself to look ahead. Don't know if there is anything to this, but might be worth paying attention to. Lori - I feel the same way about stairs, still get kind of dizzy going up and hang on for dear life going down. Five years ago I climbed 94 floors at the Hancock Center in Chicago - even beat my sister who has always been better in cycling, ha.

Jeff, you have a great sense of humor! Sorry about your fall. The best bike helmets are the ones with a rating of 90 or 95.
