The man in charge of the City of Vancouver’s transportation strategy fractured his elbow when he was knocked off his bike in a hit and run on Thursday morning.
“Today this was so real as an aggressive driver knocked me over while I was biking to work. I’m in the hospital right now getting X-rays. I still am in shock that a driver did something like this. Thx to all who cared for me after the car knocked me over,” Bracewell tweeted. — Dale Bracewell March 28, 2019Over the course of the next few hours, Bracewell — who lives in North Vancouver and has three children — received dozens of responses from his followers. He even received a direct tweet from ICBC offering to help with his claim.
“I may need to rejoin NACTO’s Cities for Cycling community — at least to share how horrible it is to be the victim of such aggressive driver behaviour — to fuel urban cities even more for the streets that don’t yet have a more protected place for people on bikes,” Bracewell tweeted.
