This subject came up on a cycling blog thread the other day. It’s worth looking into. It’s never happened to me (now that I’ve said that it will), but I’ve been with people to whom it has happened. It’s absolutely terrifying and they were understandably rattled. And although I’ve never been with anyone who has gone down because of it, it often results in a crash.
This is a really good article on the subject and explains how and why they happen. Knowing the physics behind them really helps to understand how you might bring them under control and not crash. And, as we all know, knowing is half the battle!
Jonah Holland was struck and killed by a drunk driver last Saturday, August 13 while cycling along Osbourne Turnpike near Richmond. She was cycling with Natalie Rainer who was also struck and remains hospitalized. Jonah was an avid cyclist and swimmer and a member of numerous community organizations as is Natalie.
At the time of release of this podcast there are several ways to help. A “Take Them A Meal” page has been set up for Jonah’s family, but states that the schedule is full. You can contact the organizer for other ways to help.
Meals for John, Josie and Grayson Holland
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help with Natalie’s expenses and hospital bills which will be significant.

A new VO project for Design Blasting Services. I love digging in on a read like this – authentic, blue-collar, a little gritty, unhurried. Great vision, production and direction by Dawson Waters.

This is the 50-mile route and the 1.5-mile kids’ route for this year’s Go Forward Together cycling event fundraiser.
This year we’re proud to have added some new partners. In addition to sponsors Primis Bank, The Goddard School, Virginia Credit Union, The Social Ginger, and Garth’s Gourmet Goodness, Final Gravity Brewing will be the location of the start/finish and the post-ride celebration, and the word is that they’ll be brewing a beer especially for the ride. Carytown Bicycle Company will provide mechanical assistance and support. And Palani Drive is providing lunch for the registered riders thanks to food sponsor Red River Foods.
Check out the routes via the Google Maps below, and get more info and sign up via the link.
