Was a road rider for years and stopped out of fear something like this would happen. Horrible news. _________________ 14-5-3-12 |

Not sure if that was meant as funny...I wish him a speedy recovery. Being paralyzed is so sad. |

Damn this sucks, heal up Shawn. A lot of times these cyclists hug the line of their lanes and partially obstruct the driver's lane so not surprised whenever these incidents occur. |

Tough news for Bradley, my respects and best wishes. I was hit by
a car while riding both a bike and a motorcycle but when younger
and it's never good. _________________ Lakers need to build a freaking team ! |

Thoughts and prayers to him and his family.
Longtime cyclist and the danger is real by distracted and often times malicious drivers. |

man i remember when i was 15 years old i went downhill like a mad man at around 50 mph and fall then hit a brick/stone wall. hit and broke my nose, blood absolutely everywhere, hurt my arm pretty bad but other than that i was super lucky. never again did that again.
also, my grandma got hit by a (bleep) idiot who was speeding like 35-40 years ago. paramedics by some miracle came to the site in 2-3 minutes and they saved her leg by holding it at the place the leg should normally be attached. the leg was hanging in mid air and there was only a couple of centimeters of meat that was still holding it a little bit together. she recovered after spending 7 months in the hospital. from then on she thanked the paramedics that saved her every single year on the same day. man i always got chills when she told the story.
the only thing that can save, comfort Bradley is a strong mind, that's the most important thing. _________________ ANOTHER WIN IN LA! BOSTON SUCKS! |
