Gonna take a time out and send our thoughts out those friends and loved ones who were on last night’s Kushtown ride.
If you haven’t heard, last night in LA, one of our large group rides was run over by a drunk driver. A group of 50 were waiting on the side on the road (bike lane, sidewalk) for the rest of group ride to catch up, when a drunk driver plowed into about half of them. She struck anywhere from 20 to 30 riders. Putting 11 of them in the hospital and critically injuring two of those riders. It has been said that she was on her cell phone and just ran into the group. This terrible news. A lot of our friends and supporters were on that ride. No matter what the outcome, there is no need for this to happen. Drinking and driving don’t mix, there is no excuse for it anymore. This could have been a group of people just walking around and they could have been struck by this careless women. Please keep these fellow riders in your thoughts over the next few days. Thank you.
