Dangers of Biking

This past year I started bicycle racing. I've been training with the Texas State Cycling team and thankfully have only had a few minor tip overs. Some people havn't been as lucky though. A family friend of mine got hit by a car while riding his bike. He broke his wrist and his foot and now has a boot on his foot and is using crutches. He got a huge bruise on his upper thigh and is scraped up all over. To make matters worse he has a new baby at home and a wife who doesn't have a job. Poor guy is now in recovery mode and is amazingly pissed that a person wouldn't have the courtesy to stop and check if he was okay. Knock on wood that I stay injury-free.
