TH3_FRB cycling accident (Page 2)

Oh my!  That sucks indeed.  He was on his way to having a kick *** year.  Idiot drivers.  Glad that he is mostly ok.  As much as it sucks, he will come out of this okay.

We can rebuild him. We have the technology.  Better than he was before. Better... stronger... faster.

Please keep us posted, and let him know we're all sending good thoughts his way for a fast recovery ( does he do *anything* slow? ).

Omigod.  When I saw this thread title and opened it and the first post was from you instead of Joel my chest tightened up.  What an unbelievable high/low for him.  Of course, thoughts and prayers are with him.  Too bad there's no way for the woman who hit him to have any idea how extensive the community that would like to thrash her is.

(must purge these evil thoughts)

had a fantastic commute into work today - no crappy drivers or pedestrians, and then i see this.

thoughts to joel!

Best wishes and a speedy recovery!

I hope he keeps his head up, thankfully he'll be (mostly) ok. I dread the day something horrific happens to a BTer. I hope they catch that idiot.

Wow! that sucks

I am so sorry to hear this. I hope Joel recovers fully and quickly and that they catch the worthless piece of sh!t who hit him.

Katie, that's terrible. Give Joel my best wishes for a speedy recovery.

And tell him no racing inside the hospital.

Hey YellowKate,

I am so sorry for Joel.  Recovery from this will take a while.  I hope Joel will spend some time researching his ideas on nutrition and training while he is off his feet and maybe put some it down on paper to share here.

Thanks for telling us about the accident. 

 By the way, we've missed you too.

WOW!!!

Please send Joel our best wishes and a speedy recovery!!!

I have this picture of him in mind slamming down the halls in a wheel chair ala Days of Thunder.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery indeed.

So sorry to hear that... let him know he's in our thoughts and prayers!

That sucks! I try so hard to ride early in the morning just because you don't know how many crazy drivers are out there!

hang in there!

Man...there is just no words to say how much that sucks.  And to think that I too was riding last night tryin to recover from Boston and Joel was just 30 miles away getting hit by a moron! 

Yellowk8t, I am going to PM you and see if I can visit him the Hospital.  Is there a food he likes?  I'm sure I can get the wifey to whip something up. 

Not that you guys need any verification to know how good of a guy Joel is, but he was even willing to give me a ride back from Boston if I wasn't able to get a flight back.  And that was on 1 days notice!  That's the kind of guy Joel is...

Good luck with the recovery Joel, sorry to hear abotu the bad news.  I guess one positive note to get out of this is that he gets to spend more time on BT!  don't know if thats good or bad.

Best wishes
