Not really a commuting story for me today, but this morning I looked out the front window of my house and saw a bunch of flashing red lights and a bent bicycle wheel sticking up in the air. One of the local bottle collectors had lost control going down the hill and smashed hard into my neighbor's car. His bike and trailer were destroyed, the car was damaged, and the poor guy wasn't looking so well either as they loaded him onto a stretcher.

Keep your brakes in good condition guys.
