I read this article online from the Nashua Telegraph about a bike accident there on Monday. The bike rider is in critical condition after being hit by an auto. There have been a rash of bike accidents up here in the Laconia area too. No less than 3 people I know have been in bike accidents in the last week. At least two of them involved other cars. All of these people were wearing a helmet and none of them has a head injury.
Even though it is hard to see bikes, as a driver it is important to pay attention. I know when I ride, I have a neon yellow jersey. One client we have even had reflective tape on his shirt. He still got hit when the driver turned left and hit him.
