Christopher Uy is a different person now, this much he knows. His short-term memory is shaky and his personality has undergone a transformation he seems aware of, but can’t quite grasp.

It happened in a split second. Last April, riding in his first-ever road bike race — the Hamilton Cycling Club’s Good Friday Race — Uy was riding at more than 40 kilometres an hour when the pack he was in suddenly bunched up. Uy hit the brakes, crashed and went over the handlebars, the carbon frame of his bicycle snapping in two.

Note to earlier post: ROMA and cycling tourism - unless the product is developed and lessons learned, and tort reform enacted these can be risky undertakings.
