So, Keith was in a bike-on-bike head-on accident on his way home from work. Some IDIOT decided to just swerve over and hit him head on on the bike path while he was barreling along at 20 MPH. The bike is bent. very bent. Keith has been investing a lot of his time and $$ into this bike, and unlike a car accident, there is pretty much no recourse, even when they hit and run. So far, miraculously, his bodily injuries seem pretty minor. Though his knuckle/hand is badly sprained, and possibly fractured and he's pretty banged up. I think he's more angry about his mint condition classic bike being totalled than anything else. And that it happened because somebody else was just being stupid and then took off without any attempt at making some effort to make it right. Personally, I'm relieved he wasn't hit by a truck or something, but upset about the bike too. He went through a lot of effort to bring it back here from St. Louis, fixed it up, and was really enjoying commuting to work that way. Lame Ass people. And hello? Can we please PLEASE catch a break?
