Dear Editor:
On Friday, June 17, my husband and I were enjoying a very nice bike ride on the Monon Trail between 106th and 96th streets.
Unfortunately, I was following too close, clipped his back tire and tumbled across the pavement. We were passing a dog walker who just happened to be a retired doctor, which was quite fortunate for me.
After evaluation by the physician, it was determined that a 911 call was necessary. As I laid on the pavement, I couldn’t begin to count the number of people who stopped to see if they could help.
Carmel is a community that cares … and for this I am thankful.
The #45 Rescue Team arrived promptly and evacuated me from the trail, into an ambulance and on to the ER. Fortunately, I only have road rash and severe bruising and learned a hard lesson to social distance while cycling.
Thanks to everyone who stopped. Carmel should be very proud of its community spirit!
