I'm posting this up on behalf of a good friend who's just been injured.
If this isn't the place for this, feel free to move/delete.


We are part of a group of expats living/riding in Seoul, South Korea, the Filthy Freeriders. He is very active in this community, out riding and trailbuilding every weekend. You've never met a nicer, more selfless, more down-to-earth guy.

He was commuting by bicycle from work to home the other night, and was struck head on by a kid driving a food delivery scooter turning left in front of him.

Serious head injuries. Has had 2 surgeries on his skull/brain already, and is currently in ICU, in an induced coma.

His parents have just flown in from New Zealand, and are dealing as best as they can.

Our local riding group is doing what we can for him, organizing fund raisers for he and his family.


Any help from fellow riders would be very greatly appreciated.
Every little bit helps them out right now.


A shittier situation couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Yeah, everybody's fingers are crossed. Still uncertain on the extent of the damage.

They tried to take him out of his induced coma yesterday, but brain swelling wasn't as diminished as they'd have liked it, so they put him back under for another 5-7 days.


Just the other day the police found a blackbox cam vid on a bus, that shows the event perfectly.
Scooter driver ran a red light and hit Cressy, who was riding legally through a green with traffic.
It'll make dealing with fault/insurance much easier for his family.

Thanks for the well-wishes, folks.
A lot of people and companies have stepped up for his fundraiser tomorrow night, on short notice.
