To Cohn’s point, outcomes are a trailing indicator, while outputs are a leading indicator. It would be foolish to only try to measure based on outcomes. We don’t need to pick “sides”.

Two quick tips for cyclists and drivers
What a ride this morning. And thus, I have two tips. One for drivers. One for cyclists. Here goes: Drivers. Three lanes with no traffic except one pickup truck and me. The driver of that truck got within inches of me, even slowing down as if to prove a point. As the driver (finally) sped away, I saw […]
Racing bicycles is strange
I recently listened to an interview with Seth Davidson on The SoCal Cyclist Podcast. Definitely worth a listen. Seth is the proud owner and author of the Cycling in the South Bay blog. He has no shortage of opinions on all things cycling, most likely because he loves riding his bike. He loves it so much […]
The one thing I was never told
During the last 2+ years, since being hit by a driver of an SUV while I was riding my bicycle, I was advised on a lot of things – a lot of important things. There was lots of medical and dental advice, and I’m thankful for it. There was quite a bit of legal […]
It’s just like riding a bike
The most popular (and annoying) question I was asked shortly after being hit by an SUV while riding my bicycle was whether I was going to ride my bike again. My wife was asked that question too – a lot. I think she hated the question more than I did. My response was often […]

With (more than) a little help from my friends
I like to think that I’m in control of much more than I am. Getting hit by that SUV while riding my bike and having to recover from that has been a harsh reminder of how little control I have. It’s also been a reminder of how thankful I am to have people in my […]
All I want for Christmas is my four front teeth
Lawyer up
Spoiler alert – My case is all settled. That is why I’ve been able to publish these posts. It took from February 8, 2014 (when I was hit) until November 24, 2015 for the last paper to be signed and check to be cut. With that out of the way, be prepared for a lot […]
Sometimes I sit and think, and sometimes I just sit
I vaguely recall gingerly walking from the garage to our upstairs family room the day after I was hit by an SUV while riding my bicycle. My body was so bruised from the waist up, it hurt to move – at all. Since my left clavicle was fractured and my right shoulder was separated (though […]
