Bicyclists and those driving vehicles are forced to share the road many times, and unfortunately, this arrangement isn’t always civil or even safe.

Deaths from carbon monoxide are quite rare in a statistical sense, but when they do occur the results and details are often nothing short of tragic. Apparently, that was the case in Boca Raton over the weekend, as a schoolgirl sleep-over turned out to be deadly for two girls who were killed as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning. It appears that the cause of their deaths was from a car that was left running in the garage. (more…)
