I too have known Susan for 18 years. As hard as we try to be safe with the correct equipment and following as much safety as we can while riding with or without traffic around, accidents happen. It is hard to judge what happened as no one was there but the two people involved. Sadly, we lost a good friend, wonderful mother and grandmother to early in life. I pray that God will look over all her family and prayers go to the gentleman who will be in pain with this accident for the rest of his life.
