Damn....I hate reading stories like this. Before my accident, I guess I felt sorta invulnerable, but now I am much more aware of the bad things that can happen out there. It won't keep me from riding as all of life is risks, but I definitely lost my innocence. I feel very, very lucky that I am okay and even riding again...it could have been so much worse.

I think it's nice that you're going to put flowers out. Scary to know that it's a route you ride frequently. Be careful out there!
