Brett was not right hooked by a city truck. My thought is if the city had allready had this concept in place would have the outcome been different. (Just wanted to prevent any confusion. Thanks) P.S.

I would give anything to have Brett alive and I will always wonder if these guards were not in place then, if he would not be alive today. I pray that things improve for you all there in Tucson. It has been a hard battle here. Sadly it took 7 people dying to get the point across. -Sarah Hobbs One of the two cyclists killed in right hook accidents, here in Portland, was a dear friend of mine.
