Landing back at home after a week bike tour with my family and hearing the news about Seth V was/is gut wrenching. Like most of those who commented on that thread, I only knew Seth online through this group. It still feels like a loss nonetheless. Right before we departed on our trip, I heard another incident of a cyclist hit-and-run on a road just outside Portland. As me and mine pedaled over this past week, it was tough to shake thoughts of the risks we take by riding on roads. We made it through without incident and the the time spent with the family on the bike was the stuff to remember for a lifetime. Despite the risks involved in doing a trip like this, my belief that bicycling is the "freedom of the open road" that car commercials have been peddling for however many years, is that much stronger.
