Road Rash.
I think I've finally found the perfect bike for me and hope to go and
buy it after work. News stories like this don't have me rushing to
make a purchase:
CBC NewsA dozen Ottawa Bicycle Club members were cycling down Riverside Drive in June 2004 when a truck drove by the group, slowed
down, then clipped the lead rider.
The lead rider suffered two broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder, and four others were injured.
Richard Martin was found guilty in April of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and for failing to remain at the scene of an accident after five people were injured in a cyclist pileup.
At Wednesday's sentence hearing, his lawyer, Kimberley Pegg, argued that Martin had "no malevolence" when he sideswiped the cyclist.
During the court case, it came out that the driver, who was with his
son in the car, laughed the whole way home.
