I still don't have lots of answers, and I'm still having some difficulties. 2 more cyclists were killed in a hit and run within the last week in my area. They have not caught the driver. And a well known rando rider was hit here not long ago, and has a very long recovery ahead from the sounds of it. Her most recent blog
post pretty much sums up what I'm feeling with regard to biking (minus the tremendous pain and rehab she has ahead of her, of course).
