My cousin has been in the hospital for 8 weeks as a result of a motorist turning in front of him while he was on a ride. The driver said she just didn't see him. It was broad daylight and a open road. Maybe wasn't looking...?? (Don't know if she was on a cell phone). There is a good chance he will never ride again. He broke 11 bones and totaled his knee. He was in a coma for 8 days. Still rehabing but feeling pretty good that he is alive. In one of the article in the local newspaper about the accident there is a section (online of course) where readers can comment. Some jackass mentioned that statistics show it is almost always the cyclist fault! Oh really. I guess my cousin must deserve his new plight in life. It must have somehow been his fault (she was cited by police).
