the free press article suggests that a motorist waved the biker through. this is why i kind of hate when people do that--they just have NO idea what traffic may be coming from another direction. i know someone who got hit by a car on mass ave last spring because some car waved him over, even though more traffic was coming in the other direction.

We should have very careful while we driving.
