NPR just reported that Ritter was on a bike ride with friends when he crashed into another rider. He suffered cracked ribs, but he is in good spirits.
I look forward to some new taxes and unnecessary legislation for bikes.

Guides His bike, like He has guided the State...

Did somebody check the asphalt to make sure it was okay?
I'm sure there will be a shovel ready project on the books creating hundreds of jobs to fix the cracked asphalt by the end of the day....

Apparently his bike hit a POT HOLE!!
It was evidently NOT a medicinal pot hole.
I've cracked my ribs before, a pain I don't wish on anyone, but I'm willing to make a few exceptions!
Was it because you forgot that other people in the world existed besides you and forgot to yield the right of way?

Speaking of this, I guess Colorado just passed a bill that makes it illegal for kids to not wear helmets while riding their bikes. They had something in there saying that boys had to wear a cup, but that got thrown out, I can only imagine why. As much as I would hate to have something happen to my kid because of some preventable accident, I would hate just as much to have the state not mind its own business and let me worry about my kid on my own. I'm so tired of these terrible nanny laws. Looks like we are late to the party as well...

i am saddened that it wasnt worse...much worse.
Oh,, Playing "wanna be".... See above statement, amended for bike racing...
BFD, sympathy comes b/t shit and syphilis in this case.
Maybe it is karma for granting ag trepass to illegal scum who murder police officers and rape children.
We should wear helmets in cars too.

I heard it was a Tricycle.
That's actually a good question BigBear. Road bikes are supposed to adhere to the same right away stuff as other on road vehicles, but I've got no first hand experience with traffic violations.

If the kid is in your driveway, can you just tell the officer to fuck off and get the hell off your property? That's what any police officer deserves if they try to write you a ticket for not having a helmet on your 2 year-old in your own driveway. That might sound strongly worded, but officers have the option to not try and enforce bullshit nanny laws and the ones that do deserve to butt heads with civilians.
I agree. Selective enforcement is an option.
I guess the article states that the law is for public streets and places where the public has access to (the park, parking lots). I have a feeling that MOST officers absolutely loath all these new stupid laws that they are supposed to be enforcing. People complain about having such a litigious society, but constantly churning out more and more laws is only making the matter worse. Now when a kid gets hit by a car while riding his bike, is the family going to sue the city for not yanking the kid off the streets because he had no helmet? More laws = more liability = less personal responsibility.
