Yep I saw that on the news last night and was shocked. Thankfully no one was seriously injured from what I heard on the news report but injuries were bad enough that one cyclist may not be able to ride in his olympic selection event.
I still find it hard to grasp that there are people out there with so little respect for human life.

Oh - and angry, Trek... I forgot to say I was angry...
Particularly on behalf of Kate Nichols whose father said she had only just got back on a bike on the road last week... LAST week...
After all that girl has been through!
This is such a callous thing to do. By current accounts, this guy (yes, a man) was sober and acted deliberately...
Yes, I am sad and very very angry.

How awful.

Just getting back on a bike after the German accident shows that Kate Nichols is one brave girl. Lets hope this bugger has not stolen her joy for cycling.

Heartbreaking. Thankfully not enough to break the wings of butterflies on their way to help in healing of bodies and souls.
Hugs,
