Hmmm... Decisions; Decisions...

More interesting reading over at DrunkCyclist

Golf analyst David Feherty broke three ribs and punctured his lung when he was hit by a truck while riding his bicycle near his home in Dallas. He expects to be fully recovered in time for the Masters.

Feherty said Friday he was returning from his morning bicycle ride a day
earlier when a truck hauling irrigation equipment pinched him into the curb and he was struck by the side mirror.

“He didn’t want to hit the car on the left, so he ran over the cyclist on
the right,” Feherty said. “I don’t remember a whole lot about it. There was a lady on the scene quickly, keeping me conscious. The next thing I know, I’m at Baylor Medical Center, the only hospital in the United States that doesn’t have The Golf Channel.” Read more: sports.espn.go.com

A *MUST READ* from Benjacat

The Drunkcyclist blog had a writeup on the two cyclists killed in California by a sheriff's deputy who had went left of center and all the way off the other side of the road.

I'd been following story of this terrible event since then, and Benjacat has a great post with a link to an article on Sports Illustrated / CNN.com about the incident. It is a *MUST READ*

The story

Authorities are searching for a man on a bicycle as a possible suspect in the Thursday bombing at a military recruiting station in Times Square, investigators said.

The blast, around 3:45 a.m., caused no injuries, officials said.

A witness and an officer at a police substation just steps away from the recruiting office saw a man riding a bicycle, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said at a news conference.
