New Zealand cyclists hit by a teen driver

[RoadRaven]

Update...

Saw Jo yesterday... she came to the club race to watch
She's the one that ended up in the middle of the road and whose bike was under the car

Had a brief chat with her, and she seems to be doing well.
The doctors have told her 3 months for full recovery - Shona and Ray are going to take longer.

She has been back on a bike - but off-road on a mtn bike on a bike path. She has also been told off by her physio for over-doing it in water-aerobics. So all sounds good for her - better than I expected really.

Roll on our velodrome which should be built inside two years. It would be an ideal place for people like Jo as they build up confidence and fitness on a bike again - no cars in a velodrome!

Thanks again for all your thoughts when I first posted this. Jo was saying she has had so much support from club members she has been a little overwhelmed.

She has the victim support people coming for an interview today, to see how this has affected her. She says that one thing she is going to tell them is how this crash did not just affect the people in it. She wants them to be aware of how it has affected the whole of the club, and possibly non-club cyclists in the Bay. People in the club have changed routes, have followed training riders in cars, and worry constantly about their partners and children when those family members are out for a ride.

Crashes and altercations with cars are expected - but not on a quiet Sunday morning in the cycling lane on a straight clear piece of road...

Just thought I'd let you know that Jo is doing ok and progressing well.
