Roadblock from the hospital:

“Yep, I’m at county USC. Was heading N. On glendale blvd. Was in far right lane preparing for a change to left lane to make left at park. I looked back and saw a car approaching at extremely high speed. I aborted my lane transfer and the car swerved into my lane and rear ended me at about 45mph. I flew up onto hood and probably dented hood and windshield. Drive applied breaks and I flew off into the street in the right lane. My read wheel is taco-ed and rear of bike smashed. I had a helmet on. I was solo. Rear light on. Reflectors on shoes and headlight on flash minewt night rider.”

Since then, a countless number of Ridazz have chimed in with their support and eagerness to help, serving as a testament to the strength of this community that Roadblock has helped to create. Fortunately, his injuries were not as severe as they could have been, and he is in the process of recovering.
With hopes of gathering more information from the night of the crash, and finding the driver, friends of Roadblock posted signs around the scene of the accident.

In just a few weeks, cyclist Jesus Castillo was fatally injured in a hit and run, and shortly after the Hummer vs. bike incident ensued. How do we make sure our streets are safe for cyclists and that the people committing these crimes are brought to justice?

Roadblock’s injuries weren’t crippling, and he’s expected to make a full recovery. If you’ve ridden critical mass in Los Angeles or spent any time with the bike community Roadblock is a familiar face.

We here at OMFGBIKES! wish him a speedy recovery. If you have any information regarding the accident please contact him via the midnight ridazz forums.
