Recently, I ran across a journalist for one of Kansas City rags. The Pitch is a weekly paper that I suppose would be best described as "alternative culture/hipster news". It covers high-profile stuff in and around KC, night-life, dining, arts and entertainment and the like.

Anyhow, The lady I talked to lives near one of my bike commuter friends, and works close to where he works. After sharing his commute route with her, I found out that she was worried about safety on the road, which ended up in an e-mail volley about my crash back in March. It felt interview-ish, and that's what it ended up being. Yet another commuter friend of mine had a similar run in, where he was actually nudged off the road. He got interviewed as well.

Today, I just got my ugly mug captured digitally by their photog. It sounds very much like they're trying to really push for people to start paying attention to cyclists out here. The photo guy said he has also taken pictures of a guy who got run down while on a recreational group ride, so it doesn't sound commuter specific. I really won't know the entire content of the article until it hits the presses, but I know they have enough information about me to draft up a short bio including my crash.

No word on press date, but since it's a weekly rag, it's probably going to hit newsstands in the next few weeks.
