If OP didn't want the types of comments he got, exactly what did he want. These threads are conversations, not just random musings by the OP.

I hope you don't "get back to that in a day or two"!

You should be thinking about the risks more consciously all the time. Do not become complacent. This goes for cycling ... it also goes for driving a car, operating the equipment at work, walking across the street ... pretty much anything we do.

Charges are pending on the driver of the truck. The area where he was struck does have a wide shoulder, I have ridden there before and there is plenty of room to be out of the flow of traffic. Like I said, I haven't seen any details so who knows what really happened.

Ive been checking the news sites and didn't see an update. Have they released a name? I'm going to check now for myself...
