I would think that Volcano is a lot more mellow, Mauka.
Thanks for your good wishes. My husband's injury was a long time ago. It left him with pins in his leg and a perpetual ache in the bones, trauma-induced arthritis probably.
I had not thought of this for years, but my younger son also broke his leg when his bike when down after a road crew put sand on the roadbed. That was bad. He was thrown onto a bridge that has a very high drop into a river and a short railing. Thank god he didn't go over. His bike was thrown into a brand new Mercedes and the people sued him. Years ago now, but the only bodily injury he ever had was from riding a bike.
My huspand and I rode scooters in the Cooks, where there are more scooters than cars, so I do know what it's like to have a lot of scooters on the road ... very very different from East Hawai'i. They do have quite a few accidents there, mostly from the roaming dogs that run in front of them and cause them to wreck. People don't wear helmets there either.
There is no road on Rarotonga where anyone goes over 35 mph though.
