Interesting piece in the Toronto Globe Mail by Sarah Boesveld asking whether cyclists think twice about getting on their bikes after they have been drinking. This is a topic of discussion in Toronto after a cyclist died last week when he was run over in a road rage incident. According to Boesveld,cyclist Darcy Allan Sheppard had been drinking before he got on his bike and collided with a convertible driven by Michael Bryant, a former attorney general in Ontario. Apparently the two men exchaged words and Bryant attempted to drive away in the top-down convertible with Sheppard clinging to the car. Eventually Sheppard, who had a job as a cycling courier, fell from the car and was run over.
