"The Wild Bunch"

There is an interesting article in this morning's New York times called "The Wild Bunch." It paints an intriguing portrait of what biking was like in New York City in the 80's, and ends with an earnest plea to bikers to follow basic traffic laws, "...because they do hate us, they being nonbikers and us being bikers."

I found the article especially relevant as one of our mentors, Gary, was in a bike meets car accident last week, putting him out of commission for this year's Solvang Century. Marylin described it as "Well, they had to put his femur back into his leg, but he seemed fine on the phone..." but I missed the rest of the story because I was stuck on the phrase"FEMUR back into leg?" He'll be on crutches for a couple of months but is planning on doing the Cool Breeze Century this August.

Careful out there everybody.
