November 10th
142km (452m vertical)
More cold weather and rough roads. The bumpy ride gave me a headache...although the loud horns and terrible air quality weren't helping matters either.
At lunch, our tour van driver was in an accident with a local woman on an electric bike. The woman was hurt and taken to hospital, although she is not seriously injured. Ben, the tour leader, was on hand to administer first aid – keeping her back and neck straight and still. He was shocked when a police car drove slowly past the scene. (They saw the bike and van, and saw Ben holding the woman's head as she lay in the road...but they didn't stop to offer help!?!) Then the ambulance came, and the first thing they did was pull the woman up by her arms and help her walk to the ambulance. No backboard. No neck support. Glad it wasn't one of our riders!
The "bike lane" was under the main road:
