Dear Cyclists,

Please wear helmets. Perhaps my humanism is incomplete, perhaps there are other things to say, but we have no way of knowing when a calamity will occur. Remember, the imposition of helmet use is inconsequential; conversely, the variety of circumstances and relations of physics that can produce a life threatening injury are numerous, exponentially numerous. So, care for your loved ones, make them look like space explorers, and, if you feel so inclined, please keep this  great gal in your thoughts as she fights for her life.

Wishing you well Bethany, live for the pit.
