Ash Wednesday. It was today. I saw one. As I'm wont to do during this season my mind wanders to days long passed. And today - because I'm thinking about Lent lots - I remembered this article. Biking as a Lenten practice - By Melissa Bixler

Terribly sad news out of Champaign/Urbana, IL.

Meet: David and Cindy "have been married for 20+ years. Neither of them drive; she is blind. They live in those apartments and travel just about everywhere on that tandem."

Tragedy: "... were hit from behind last night. Cindy is gone. David is in critical condition and they’re not telling him."

Distracted Driving: "Police believe a driver who hit a couple Monday on a tandem bicycle, killing one, may have been distracted by reading a map."
