thanks everyone. i will pass your kind words along to my husband.
so far all we know is that someone pulled out in front of him from a side road and he was thrown from the bike. he had a faint heartbeat when EMS arrived, but was DOA at the hospital. he was 1.75 miles from home. classic, isn't it? stupid cagers! oh yeah, he was not wearing a helmet (don't know if it woulda mattered though).

God rest his soul and comfort his family!
This sorta thing is so sobering as I commute on my bike almost everyday through city traffic. I take it for granted alot that I always make it to and from work without incident. God Speed
