Apparently he crashed into a wall and got hit on his forehead below his helmet. He's a regular and experienced cyclist, and I know he wasn't doing anything foolhardy. Being a regular user of the same route, I'm wondering what happened, but haven't been able to find any information online. Has anyone else encountered or…See More

I'm an editor for Chicago Review Press, and we are publishing the U.S. edition of a book that just came out from Random House in the U.K. entitled Cyclopedia: It's All About the Bike, written by William Fotheringham.
