  1. Who rides a bike on the pedestrian shoulder, where your center of gravity is higher than the guard rail whilst cars zoom by? Kudos the Audi driver for changing lanes.

    A bicyclist plunged more than 25 feet from a bridge over White Oak Bayou in the Heights area late Thursday morning.

    The mishap occurred about 11:30 a.m. on Studewood just north of Interstate 10 near Stude Park, according to the Houston Fire Department.

    Officials said the man, whose name has not been released, was rushed to a nearby hospital. He had a broken arm and other injuries, said HFD Capt. Don Martin.

    Martin said firefighters hauled the man up from the edge of the bayou after he fell at least about 25 feet. He ended up on concrete near the bayou's center channel, which was flowing with water from recent rainfall in the area. His bicycle was near him.

    Martin said someone who heard the man screaming called 911.

    It is unclear, Martin added, what caused the bicyclist to topple over the railing along the sidewalk on the bridge. It appeared the man had been on the east side of the bridge

  2. could we change the game up and not say "game changer" any more. two threads this morning and i'm "game changed" out. lots of game changing going on apparently.

    retail follows residential. at some point, the retail industry will swoop in to the main corridor and our heads will be spinning. do not be surprised if it happens overnight as residential solidifies between the medical center and downtown. (university line please?)

    Game changer. ^
