You're looking at a very lucky guy! He's a bit bruised and battered, but he is alive. We're counting our blessings at our house.
Last night after Will got off work he headed for his bus stop on his new bicycle (thanks Ryan!). He was on a busy major Tempe road. In case you didn't know, Tempe does not have bicycle lanes so he was on the sidewalk. Unfortunately, he was just a bit up the road from his office and still riding opposite of traffic. That's when an oncoming car missed seeing him heading northbound while the driver was making a right turn southbound. Bam! Will got hit by the car and thrown off his bike onto Rural road. He landed on his face first. Luckily, there wasn't any oncoming traffic at the moment the accident happened and he was able to bounce back up. Both Will and the driver were pretty shaken up. Will had some blood from some open wounds from road rash on his forearms and his new fat lip and bruised nose. He was VERY fortunate to walk away with somewhat minor injuries! It could have been A LOT worse! And for that we are thanking our lucky stars.
(we thought the bike came away unscathed, but it looks like Will is going to have to fix his rear brake before he can ride again....which is still pretty fortunate considering)
Looks like we all might need to be a little extra nice to Will these days ;)
