About This Item

My nephew Patrick was commuting to work on his mountain bike in the bike lane. A car was stopped in traffic and wanting to get home quickly, he turned to find a quicker route. Patrick was lucky as he only broke his hip when the car hit him. My friend Tod wasn't quite so lucky. He was riding his motorcycle to work when a truck made a left turn across Tod's lane. In trying to avoid an accident Tod lost control of the bike and died at the scene. (Team Rod & Tod w/KAboom...The Cachestalkers)

Both of these accidents could have been avoided if the drivers weren't distracted and taken the time to check for these types of vehicles.

Be aware and drive and ride safely!!
