    Hope it doesnt affect her season too much. Out of sea otter i guess.

    from the Dirt report it sounds more like she rode into the car.

    Can’t let the facts stand in the way of a good anti-motorist rant.

    RE: Dirt How can you both swerve the wrong way? Surely you go to your side of the road.

    She’s a Brit so mibbie she swerved the wrong way instinctively – it happened in the US.

    The truck came off pretty badly. She must be a tough young lady.

    I find road riding several steps above mountain biking in terms of danger.
    Glad this isn’t much worse and wish her a speedy recovery.

    no helmet head down listening to music, I’m glad she is not more injured or even worse dead as that poor driver would have had it on there conscience when it is clearly her fault, and her brother would have to watch this. I agree we with the sticking to mountain biking bit, seems sensible.
