Was a road rider for years and stopped out of fear something like this would happen. Horrible news.

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.

Thoughts and prayers to him and his family.

Longtime cyclist and the danger is real by distracted and often times malicious drivers.

Same here, too many crazy drivers out there, you're basically defenseless.

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.
