This happened right outside my apartment building. The block of 3rd avenue between Atlantic and Pacific was blocked off for about an hour. When I got outside to walk my dog, the ambulance had already pulled away, but the crumpled bicycle remained in the middle of the street.

Later, when I went to work, they had spread sand on the street to cover the blood.

Gary, 0723 is seven twenty-three am. It's 24-hour time; the evening would be 1923.

Atlantic Avenue is "the avenue of death" if there ever was one in Brooklyn. I live in the area and I never bike on Atlantic Avenue, but take the parallel side streets. It is too bad because Atlantic Avenue with proper design including a planted median could be much prettier and much safer.
