WTOP news. I don't know whether any of the DC-TE folks have any reason to be down that way, but I couldn't help but wonder. Y'all ride carefully out there.

Cyclist struck and killed near Convention Center yesterday
"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
David Desautels, in a letter to velonews.com
Random babblings and some stuff to look at.

That was my commuting route. I heard repeated reference to a bike accident on the radio last night. Y'all check in-you know who you are.
EDIT: The Post says that a National Guard military vehicle doing motorcade duty hit and killed a cyclist. It was around the Convention Center, so things were hectic with the nuclear conference going on. The Post said that the cyclist was believed to be a female, but no names were given. Really tragic.Last edited by tulip; 04-13-2010 at 05:11 AM.

Already got an e-mail from 7 this morning to see if I was okay. I didn't commute to work yesterday since I worked at home. Sounds like it was a horrific accident. So sad.

Just heard from DivingBiker, too.
Wasn't her, either.
Whew.
