What a fool. Lots of muscles and no brain.
This guy will need all their prayers. He may have injured his body, but the injury he has inflicted on his own mind and the hearts of his teamates is going to be even tougher to overcome.
This is the guy who said he is careful and rode in groups. There was no group with him that has been reported for this accident.
If you are going to say you ride in groups, ride in groups. Me? I would ride in the middle of the pack, as the front and rear are most dangerous.
I feel sorry for Ben, but his famous last words about riding without a helmet....ouch!!!! Pride cometh before a fall, as the Scriptures say.
Godspeed to your recovery man!
Ah, he will cam he has been hit harder than that while playing football....gotta' have that macho B.S. to make it in the NFL you know....to paraphrase all of the announcers on tv,....."welcome to the streets, rookie!" Somebody should buy that boy some training wheels and a helmet.
Michigan is trying to pass a no-helmet law. I believe Gov. Granholm was going to veto it. It drives me nuts when I go through other states and see cyclists without helmets on! Maybe Ben will change his mind and speak out in favor of helmets.
I rode a bike until I was around thirty. Then I came to my senses. God speed and heal.
