I am definitely NOT telling my wife about this one. This is what she imagines will happen to me every time I commute or take a long ride on roads in general. Too bad it does happen though. Sending positive thoughts his way...

Still praying. Going to look at our budget and speak to wife about Chipin. Made this thread a sticky.

That doesn't mean I can stop thinking about it, though. Mike, you're in my thoughts and prayers, buddy.

Yeah. Not telling my wife either for the same reason. I chipped in and put a post on my blog. Hopefully, we can help out a bit.

I am praying for Mach/Mike and his family. Horrible news. It hurts the entire cycling community to know another cyclist is down and in so tragic a way. I wish I could say, I feel his pain, but I have no idea...

There are no words... 
I hope he recovers well enough to get back on a bike later this year.

Wow, this sucks. I was thinking during the Ride of Silence last night I don't know anyone personally who's been hit by a car while riding, and this is much too close for me. Sending best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.

I'm glad to hear it sounds like he wasn't paralyzed. Still, it will be a long road to recovery. Hopefully he can get back to riding eventually. Anything else we can do for him & his family?
I was thinking after I heard about his accident, but before I heard it had happened in Garland, my gut feeling was that Garland and Irving are two of the most dangerous cities in the Dallas metro in terms of drivers driving crazy, aggressively, and not paying attention.

Horrible news, but it sounds like the immediate prognosis is reasonably good.
FWIW: a bike-club friend of mine was hit several years ago and spent a month in a coma, then nearly a year in inpatient recovery. He's alive and functional, but can no longer ride a bike (no balance). He helped out at the club's big ride two weeks ago. He's doing pretty well, considering.
