Well said Velogirl....I read about this accident while I was away on vacation. I read the SFGate story about a wonderful young man.....I didn't have the honor of knowing him, but was so moved by reading about him that I looked up the website where friends and students had posted tributes. He sounded like an amazing man and gifted teacher....

Bad accidents do happen...in cars, on bikes, hiking, in the home....it doesn't mean we should be afraid. I will admit that after reading the article about this young man, I did think about riding and what transpired and what, if anything, I should do differently when I ride. That is not a bad thing....
