 Friend & Biking Partner Hit By Car in Santa Monica
My friend and biking partner, Paul, was struck by a car while
riding his bike last night in Santa Monica. Both of the bones of his
lower leg, the tibia and fibula, are broken. He is having surgery at
UCLA Medical Center, in Westwood, to install pins and rods into his leg.

His head impacted with the car fairly hard, and it's possible that his
helmet saved his life.

Needless to say, while he is glad to be alive and well, his spirits
are down about the prospects of not riding a bike this year. If
anyone would like to send "Get Well" wishes, here is the info:

-----------
UCLA Medical Center
Paul Bringetto - Room #709A
10833 Le Conte Ave.
Los Angeles, CA 90095
-----------

He could really use some encouragement.
