Wow. Hope your pal makes a full recovery. I am so paranoid at lights. I keep it in first, eyes in the rearview and try to leave myself an escape route. Still hard to avoid a doofus who's not paying attention. And they're everywhere.

Finally got a brief update. Sounds like my buddy is doing better than I was expecting given the circumstances. I should find out more soon. Thanks everyone for sharing all of the positive energy.

I got to visit with my friend tonight. He's doing incredibly well. He was hit by a car containing three teenage girls. The girl driving was apparently distracted by some kids who were at the intersection waving signs for a fundraiser carwash they were putting on (adamant that she was not using a cell phone in any way). There happened to be a guy at the scene who owned a local cycle dealership who was being helpful in any way he could — he informed the paramedics about the the emergency release padding in my friends Shoei helmet. Amazingly my friend escaped with only bruising and a bit of road rash — no broken bones. Not sure what kind of issues might reveal themselves with time, but for now there is plenty to be grateful for.
