I'm glad to hear that she survived and is being released though.Bodes well for her although head injuries can be lasting.

Ride of Silence
Such tragedy... that needs discussion, needs awareness. I encourage all of you to check out the Ride of Silence (website: www.rideofsilence.org). This is an annual ride, in memorium of fallen cyclists or those that have been injured. The ride originated in Dallas, TX when Chris Phalen chose to recognize his dear friend that was clipped by a cars rear view mirror. The ride is on the third Wednesday of May, begins at 7pm and is a 10 mile ride, ridden in silence. If your community does not have the ride organized, take the challenge and sign up on-line (I am taking on the organization of the Austin, TX ride). The ride is about awareness, it's about comfort for those grieving, and it is unifying.

I think almost the entire club I ride with is doing Ride of Silence... It will be my first one and I am glad I'm riding it.
There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".
