Safety de Mayo

Eleven years ago today I was nearly killed by a red light runner on my bicycle. I broke my back, lost my spleen and I have a titanium plate and screws installed in my hand. One thing I did not get was a lifetime of spoon feeding and being a general burden to my family. Why? Because I was wearing a helmet.

I still ride my bike every day through that fateful intersection, although a little slower than I did from 1991-2000.

Wear your lids, kids. 

For those of you in Tempe here is the intersection: E Broadway Rd & S College Ave
