Had I been on a bike it mite have been bad!!! I think I may have just found my next rant!!! Seriously though, it's so sad but it's just not safe to ride now. Glad your son is ok .

Hey John. Yes, he's still riding. Had to get a new bike of course, then basically rebuild it from scratch. (Not that anything was wrong with it to begin with, it was just not cool enough. LOL He lives in Mesa, Az, so the traffic is not as bad as NY/NJ... in fact, when he had his accident he was virtually alone on the highway, out in the desert, going to meet my sister (his aunt) who lives in SF. He had a new tire on the back, and pushed the bike too fast, it went squirrely and threw him. He has his good days and bad, but he's still working and still riding. And I totally agree with you about the new crop of drivers (and some not so new) that don't seem to be able to keep the GD phone away from their eyes for more than 10 friggin seconds. You're gonna be fine. Might even take you fishing later this year.
