A good friend of mine, who delivers freerange eggs to our store every morning wind rain snow on his bicycle, was run over by a dumptruck yesterday.....
his leg was run over and broken by the front wheel the bike was ripped in two just behind the head tube.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)
his wife and him still delivered the eggs this morning, he was in good spirits, with his mangled bike in the back of their pickup, off to see insurance adjusters
this is the fourth time he has been hit in his life, he has flashers headlights and bright clothes, and always a helmet
i thought it might be a good reminder that the week before and after time change has a much higher rate of accidents
so be careful
not all stories end this well
