OR #7: Today I read an article in the Minnesota Daily. This article was written by Mike Langseth. The article is titled, "Metro Transit bus runs over biker's legs on 10th Avenue". This headline really caught my attention. What happened was that there was this lady and she was biking north on 10th Avenue against traffic. She swerved a bit and fell down. Then the bus rolled over both her legs. One of the witnesses reported that they heard the bones snap and pop. I was shocked when I read this. I think both drivers and bikers need to be more aware and careful of their surroundings. The victim is now in the hospital, but the hospital will not release the condition of the patient.

I agree with you that people need to be more aware of all their surroundings when they are on streets. There are a lot more bikers, and drivers aren't use to them yet.
