I’m absolutely gutted that one of my best friends, @jimpagels, was killed on Friday by a driver while he was biking. For Jim, who was a passionate urbanist and safe streets advocate, to become DC’s latest victim of traffic violence is infuriating as it is devastating.
Tragic news: Hit and run-driver struck and injured Alexandra Betzel, 31, on her bike Wednesday at Addison/Kimball in Avondale. She's in a medically-induced coma with injuries to her ribs, chest and face. Her family is asking the driver to turn themself in.
