This past sunday a colleague of mine was hit by a car while riding his bike. He's alive today, but has been in the hospital for a while, and has received several opertions. Hopefully, he will recover and ride again someday, but this did not need to happen.

I implore both car drivers and bicyclists to be courteous to each other and share the road. Car drivers especially need to be more careful around bicyclists. You don't own the road completely, but you have more control of the situation. Share the road.

The following are links to bike advocacy groups.

Active Transportation
League of American Bicyclists
One Less Car

Hopefully, this will help educate both bicyclists and drivers.
