Andrew Carson hit by a truck

A few days ago Andrew Carson was hit by a truck while riding his home-made (ummm... make that *custom-made*) long wheelbase recumbent bike.

The good news is that he survived with three broken ribs and a collapsed lung. He should recover, but will probably be in the hospital for some time.

I think Andrew would appreciate a helping hand during his recovery. You can send him an email of support at this address:

Andrew has been maintaining a wonderful website devoted to home-brewing long wheelbase recumbent bikes on a budget. Visit his website at:

There is a thread on the BROL website about this. As one astute BROL writer noted, Andrew should be sure to sue the manufacturer of his bike!

Safe riding,
