Same thing happened in my area a couple of weeks ago.

I was driving my car on my usual commuting route, where I feel like the cars drive too close and TOO FAST for comfort, and there was a mangled bicycle laying on it's side. There was an ambulance, 4 cop cars, and a hurt cyclist laying on a gurney as the EMT's assisted him/her. There wasn't a car or tow truck at the scene so who knows what could have happened. Hit and run? Gosh, I hope not.

It's so scary to see those kinds of accidents where you ride everyday. I have since stopped riding that exact route. Instead, I ride the ample and hardly used sidewalk until I can get to the safer area. I know, I know (sidewalk) ... but I just don't want to risk it. Speed limit is 45, but most cars easily go 60+. Eeek!
