The Tragedy Was Not In Vain

Yesterday I was riding through Court House on Wilson. I noticed something different on how the drivers were driving. I would see people turn on their signals early then gradually make their right hand turn. I also saw a lot of drivers being more observant by looking around while crossing an intersection. I am cannot be for certain if this is because of Alice Swanson or other wise. All I must say is that for at least one day drivers are being more cautious. The next time I ride on Wilson, or any road, I hope I see the same thing. Keep it up drivers!

Alice Swanson

We all have heard of Alice Swanson tragic cycling death that occurred early this week. Here is an article that The Boston Globe had written. It will give you a little more of a better perspective on Alice Swanson and the issue we have at hand.

Please refer to GhostBike for more info.

And I quote from her father,

"I just feel that she had so many things that she wanted to do - to help people. Now it's not going to happen."
