Ouch! Get well soon, In Denver Times:
The Governor’s Office released the following statement at 9:30am this morning.
Shortly after 6 a.m. this morning, Gov. Ritter was involved in a bicycle accident at 23rd Ave. and High St. in Denver. He is being treated at Denver Health Medical Center for several injuries. It appears he has multiple rib fractures on his right side.
The Governor rides with a group of friends two to three times a week, and this morning was with a group of four other riders when he and another rider collided. The Governor is in good spirits, laughing and joking with hospital staff and his wife Jeannie.

With broken ribs, I doubt he’s doing too much laughing.
I hope he has a speedy recovery.
Those are union firefighters protesting Ritter’s veto of SB 180 last year.

You wind up dirty and smelling bad, and the hog likes it.
You can’t put lipstick on a Libertad?
….before seeing whose it was?
I can see them in an instant and I’m always correct.
But I have had to admit that the bones are now too brittle and I can no longer do some of the things that I used to do.
Goodness. That sounded like a song cue!
I believe it was the Post article that said he hit his head pretty hard, but the helmet kept him from having any head injury.
😉
I didn’t know he rode.
n/t
…only hurt when you breath (or cough.)
Clearly!
Anyone know, mountain or street bike?
…”My governor was in Argentina…” Or, DC instead of Albany.
Early March, no less!
Poster-governor for a healthy Colorado, leading the nation!
What do you want me to… “The Governor, while riding his bicycle this morning in northwest Denver came to a sudden arboreal stop?”
Wow.
into an attack on Andrew Romanoff? That happens on all the others, why not here?
as he rode by.
There.
…and Andrew doesn’t ride.
would have come out against falling off your bicycle much sooner than March of an election year.
As a matter of fact, Andrew Romanoff thinks that God is punishing Governor Ritter for appointing Senator Bennet when he wasn’t entitled to be a senator.
Obviously, AR would feel that the choice of falling off a bicycle or not falling off is a false dichotomy. Don’t we have the option of jogging?
I don’t. I’m too fucking old.
…he’s the other hard-core cyclist in the Colorado State Gov’t.
If Ritter had not passed those regs, then clearly this accident would not have happened. After all you didn’t hear of Penry & McInnis having an accident.
Oh well, great minds think alike 🙂
