Virginia Was In A Bike Accident

What happens when the co-founder of Salem Bike Vision is nearly hit by an SUV in the very family-friendly buffered bike lane she worked to get installed? Turns out she breaks her collarbone and gets a concussion. We did the math and she was 68.2 milliseconds from a very different ending. It is very likely that the BUFFERED aspect of the bike lane saved her life. Call it crazy timing, but we already had Salem Bike Vision scheduled to come on the pod this week and we're looking forward to that conversation, more conversations about how to improve the bike infrastructure in Salem, and a smooth healing journey for Virginia in the months ahead. Get out there and stay loud.
