Glad someone got pressure on it in time!
Did the guy in the Mercedes stick around or did he bail?

He was stuck in traffic so he didn't go anywhere. I don't think anyone noticed the brake check, but it happened for sure. There is some BS going on the Santa Cruz Sentinel Blog about it.
Thanks for the link to that. Glad to see you are ok...

this was you eh?
that sucks balls.
Sorry to hear that. I can see the hostility on the blog. I don't think many people have ever known what it's like to have a car stop dead right in front of you, but I have and it sucks balls. The worst part is then the douchebag gets all the sympathy since more people drive than there are people who ride.

Heh, that sounds horrible. Like a spandex experiment gone horrible wrong or something...
Yeah pretty sad how that blog got so out of control. Oh well. Accidents happen and I am glad I made it out ok and nobody else was hurt. I just want to recover and get back to being able to ride my bike.
That blog made me mad. Such bigotry and hatred. You're such a tweaker Josh.
Not to make light of your serious injury and I'm glad you are ok, but...
You know if you were on a fixie this wouldn't have happened. Those brake levers are dangerous.
Seriously, I'm sorry to hear about your accident. That was a scary situation. Get better soon!
The Mercedes driver was obviously a drug dealer that was driving while on crack. We need to get rid of those thugs!
See cyclists can be ignorant and presumptuous too.

That Santa Cruz write-up makes it sound like you plowed into a parked car or something...how bizarre.
Glad to hear you're okay, but makes me mad as hell that some drivers don't seem to care or even think about the fact that's there's a human being on those pedals...

yep, sometimes people don't even stop and think what's more important. The fact that they're going to be 3 mins late to where ever they're going or the fact that the object they're raging against is just someone in front of them doing the same thing but trying to save a little gas/air/get fit....
...except there are some serious douche riders around santa cruz too that don't help anyone by disobeying the laws. It sucks that Josh had to be a casualty of the whole conflict.

River street is a bitch.
Sorry to hear of your misfortune. Wish you best of luck on recovery.

Thanks man. I appreciate it. Still recovering. Probably have another couple weeks before I can get on a bike again. Really just trying to be easy on it and reduce the risk of infection as much as physically possible.
