Omg! I just found out a good friend of mine died last night when he was hit by a car while riding his bike.
I am so sorry to hear. Friends are so much needed and in a way like that to go. My son rides a bike and is my only son. So Sorry!
The sidewalks arent plowed here early in the AM and he had to be to work by 530am every day so he was riding his bike to work. He recently asked me if i could start driving him on days when the snow was the worst because he'd already almost been hit a few times by having been forced in to the road due to lack of plowed sidewalks. I told him once i started on second shift, i'd be getting home around 230a most nights and hence id be awake around 430 so i could take him. But... clearly i didnt make it to that. i start 2nds next week.
@Sadoi So damn Sad... my best thoughts to you and his loved ones.
That sucks! I'm so sorry for your loss!
Thank you. I appreciate it. I really do.
Oh ... I'm so sorry! That must be extremely difficult for you as well as his family. Especially when it is so unexpected.
It is. My friends asked me to be the one to contact the family so I had the honour of taking that torch on. It was emotionally draining. I spoke a bit more of it in the above responses. Its shocking. He was young. Only 20.
