At about 7am on the East Drive, behind the Met, a cyclist going at a pretty good clip slammed into a pedestrian. From what I could tell, and I was second on the scene, he must have had his head down, and he was very close to the right hand curb. He looked like a racer type, in a team kit (he had buddies in the park), and the pedestrian he slammed into apparently had just stepped off the curb just as he was racing past the crosswalk. I don't know what the traffic light situation was. I heard a scream, I looked up, and they both went down HARD. He was a bloody mess, his chin gashed, he claimed to have lost a tooth as his face hit the pavement. She was a large woman with an Eastern Euro accent, and she had trouble getting up. They were both pretty dazed, but lucid.

Seems like this weekend is the 2011 GW Bridge Challenge Ride (http://determination.acsevents.org/site/TR/DetermiNation/DNFY11EA?fr_id=...), which may close the GWB bridge entirely. From their website...

I just received an e-mail for Active.com's imitation Groupon called Swaggle.  There is a deal for $85 of merchandise for $45.  It is not applicable to in-store purchases

I was planning on a ride on Father's Day, but plans change.  Instead I'm scheduled to attend an event at a friend's place in Bedford.  So I was thinking I could ride there and get home by car.  Does anyone have a route to suggest or a cue sheet to Bedford area?  Thanks!

Looking for a second-hand road bike in good/great condition. 5'9" female - 54cm, but men's model may be fine. aluminum or steel frame. +/-$800, negotiable.

Anyone know of anyone selling a road bike (Felt F24, trek kdr 1000, specialized allez junior) for a 9 year old girl.  I want to intro my daughter to cycling this summer. Let me know if you have any ideas or leads.
