working today i got a call for a bicyclist hit...wasnt a fixed rider, actually an older chineese food dilivery (i think) person hit by an suv who wasnt paying attention...but i thought it was still relevant for this forum

Please, my personal plea to all of you is wear frickin helmets, and think about a front brake for "emergency stops". I know neither one rank up there in cool points, but the last thing i want to be doing at work is rushing a fellow fixed gear rider to the trauma room in critical condition.

As for the guy, he is in bellvue in critical.
