Cyclist Hit by Car in Arlington

[care free family]

Hi everyone, since March 2013, I have been writing a blog about living car-free in Arlington,Va. I wish I could be introducing myself under better circumstances.

On Thursday, 24 hours after a blog post “Can You See Me Now?” I was struck by a car whose driver was not looking for cyclists. Below is a link to my post about the accident. The driver was found to be at fault.

And the good news is that the citizens who responded to me were kind and knowledgeable and the emergency vehicles and police responded incredibly fast.

I have a post up on my blog with a little update. For those who inquired, my Jamis needed a few repairs but is rideable. Hopefully, it won’t be too much longer before I am able to ride it again.

I am elated to see that the No Turn on Red signs have been installed at the intersection of N. Wakefield St. & Fairfax Dr.

A little blog post about the sign.
