But Vancouver manager of transportation planning, Dale Bracewell, learned first-hand just how risky the roads can be for cyclists on Thursday. Bracewell was cycling downtown when he was knocked to the ground by a motorist in an alleged hit and run. "Today, this was so real as an aggressive driver knocked me over while I was biking to work," Bracewell tweeted. On Thursday afternoon, Bracewell posted that he was home from the hospital but will require surgery on his elbow as soon as possible. "Not one of [my] best days but hoping my story spurs on more safety progress," Bracewell wrote in another tweet.
