I know of four people who have done this 1 died, 1 may never speak again, 1 had severe leg injuries
and 1 (who also wasnt wearing a helmet) had no injury other than dented pride.

None were boxers but all were cyclists. Hee Hee.

It is considered possible that some people who have never boxed might at some stage in their early
teens have ridden into the back of a parked car when studying, say, the curious bulge developing in
the front tyre.

No forks were harmed in the making of this hypothetically hypothetical anecdote.

The same 4-dimensional, surely... After all, there's been many a time when I've been cycling to/from
work and occupied the same 3-d space (more or less, given the rotation about the centre of the
galaxy etc., and procession) as a cage from the previous day or so... (I'll get me coat...)

Surely the bulges you were studying, you were curious about, rather than being curious in
themselves?

Back of a police car when aged 16. Neither coppers nor bulges were present.
