Raven. Thanks for posting. I am appalled. How depressing. Wishing all the cyclists a quick recovery.

That's atrocious, unbelievable. Here's another report, from a TV station, including interviews of Kersten and Nichols:

Sadly, I can believe this happened. I just can't believe how stupid some people are.
ETA: I just read the comments. Unbelievable.Last edited by Grog; 05-09-2008 at 07:12 AM.

Very sad. And I could not bring myself to read the comments from some on the news site. The ride of Silence is soon and here's another reason to raise awareness. We've recently had our own TE'er (MM_QFC & her DP) hit and recovering.

oh no! and OWWWWWW! were my reflexive responses...I could only scan the info but, trust me, I got the gist of it...more cyclist senselessly mowed down - arrrrghh! To read of the human callousness is sickening too...heartfelt wishes for their recovery...

These kind of stories make me so angry!
Unfortunately, this happens in the US, too. A group of riders in Chicago-land had something similar happen this year.

This is just unbelievable, the lack of mental capacity of that driver, to endanger so many lives because he was behind them, what an IDIOT. I'm angry beyond belief that this could happen, but it also makes me aware that there are people out there that really are dangerous and think nothing of a human life. My prayers and speedy recovery for those injured.
