An Open Letter to the Cycling Community
Thanksgiving Day is only a week away and already I have been contemplating the many things I have to be thankful for. Earlier this year, on January 6th, I was involved in a hit-and-run while cycling to work. As I was being strapped to a stretcher and taken to Good Samaritan Hospital, I was unaware that the events of the morning were being shared rapidly through Twitter, email, phone calls, and later that day through blogs. Thanks to these communications my wife and family were able to meet me at the hospital well before I would have been able to contact them myself.

KROQ Steps Up for Wounded Hit and Run Victim
Too often, we focus on the issues that create a crash, and what can be done to prevent them in the future. However, once a crash has occurred, there are real victims.

Other times, it is more of a struggle.
