This coin will travel with me to events and on the trails to help to promote biker awareness. If you see me ask to log this coin. This coin is in remembrance of two bikers who died recently in motorcycle/car accidents that would have been preventable if the other driver had only been paying attention. Above all watch out for bikes!
Todie's Wild Ride coins are being released all over the country and the world to promote Biker Awareness. They are released in loving memory of Todie Phillips of Manitou Beach, Michigan--Tod of Team Rod and Tod w/KAboom...the Cachestalkers. Tod died in a tragic motorcycle accident on August 12, 2008 when a truck turned in front of him and he tried to avoid it. Even though Tod was wearing a novelty helmet that wasn't DOT approved when he died, this accident was preventable if the truck driver had been paying attention.
On March 30, 2009 Jerry Pates was riding his bike through an S curve. Reports state that a car turned in front of him just like in Tod's accident. Jerry laid the bike down to try to avoid the accident. Unfortunately Jerry didn't make it. Sadly this accident was also preventable if only the other driver had stayed in his own lane through that curve and paid attention before attempting the turn..
May you both rest in peace.
