Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

According to the Internets, this was the GA Dome response time:

10+ for first medical response

15-20 before actual medical team with backboard

20-25 for stretcher and removal

30-35 for 2nd stretcher and backboard

40-45 min for 2nd removal

Kid fell around 8:20. By 8:40 he wasn't even on a backboard. Most of the initial 'response' was stadium security taking a peek. First cop showed well well after the fall. Fans were yelling and pleading for stadium staff to get medical attention. No excuse.
Pathetic.

Is he a off roader or a rancher?
It looks like a fancy pick-up, why would you want that?


Does it compensate for the loss of his family?

i just came back from a 3 hour night ride to a seaside town and back. I love night riding. I don't do it normally but each time i do it I think it is the bees knees.
