Good Evening All-

Does anyone know the condition of the rider or if he/she survived this accident?

StrangeCosmos bills itself as "... Your Exclusive Portal to the Funniest Pictures, and Today's Most Current Humor and News..." on the Internet. Call me crazy, but as a motorcyclist I didn't get a really belly-laugh out of that picture.

As Martin_Fierro said, it is a grim reminder that we have to ride as if we're invisible out there.

BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!

Good advice and remember to assume you are invisible to all cars. Also, a good corollary to this is remembering that every intersection is a potential death trap. These and a few other bits of biking wisdom have kept me accident free in almost 50 years of riding things with two wheels and a motor (Childhood happiness was having a Maytag gasoline washing machine motor for your Schwinn instead of a playing card flapping against your spokes :-)

Man, that's an image I could do without. Stupid cager. That light has obviously been red for a bit as the car in front of the bike is past the intersection.
