Tim Jackson (the MasiGuy) in the hospital

One of the frequent commenters here at Commute by Bike and a good friend of mine, Tim Jackson (the MasiGuy), was involved in a wreck during a track race a couple nights ago. He hit the boards at close to 40mph and has plenty of injuries to show for it.

  • concussion (he was out for five minutes)
  • cracked ribs
  • several cracked vertebrae in his neck
  • distended eye
  • cracked knee/kneecap
  • almost severed his right thumb

So far the docs are expecting a full recovery but he’s in a lot of pain… although the morphine button at his side keeps him in decent spirits.

If you’ve ever met Tim Jackson you’ll know there’s not a guy on the planet more passionate about the bicycle. If you’d like to send well wishes or donations, visit this post at the Racer Blue Squirrel’s blog.
