Yeah. There used to be a guy on our bike club list serve who posted a lot of messages with links to stories about cyclist being injured or killed. I always wonder how he found the stories. It was very macabre.

The guy on your bike club was not the OP, and FBinNY's question has been answered, so what's the utility value of your post, if the OP's was deemed 0?

My communication was (obviously) directed at FB, thank you. Enjoy your day.

Start your own threads, then, to discuss about people who conduct nightly accident search and to ponder the unlikelihood of a NYC member getting his news from--alas, a UK source. God Almighty.
