Readers Write: Please Remember That As The Temperature Goes Up, Motorists Get Stupider
there were purportedly (water cooler talk) 2 separate bike accidents today at Broad and Spring Garden where the ibx, cbs, cw and other companies are located at 1500 spring garden. happened between 8:00- 8:45 and in both cases bikers were carted away in ambulances[...] everyone in my office seemed relieved to see me today- and that’s why- they thought it was me.
Let’s be careful out there, people.

Everyone gets stupid in the heat, and then there are just the stupid people:

the new trend is to not even think about pausing at stop signs or red lights if you are on a bike.

Yikes. The combination of frustrated drivers and novice bikers isn’t mixing very well.

Could we get a little more info on these accidents? Perhaps that’s asking for too much journalism. I’m surprised that Larry Mendte isn’t out there with a video camera, Ron Burgundy like.

Ride Smart. Don’t aggravate motorists. Earn their respect and we’ll all be safer.

Wow, the poster in the craigslist jawn was obnoxious. Freakin bike-supremacists…
I would also like more details on the bike accidents.
