WVEC 's Jeff Lawson hurt in bicycle accident

There are a wealth of additional causes of motorcycle accidents that occur quite frequently as well. One in particular is motorcyclists who are inexperienced and simply do not know the limitations of their machine hence, these new riders push their motorcycles to their threshold, which, in most cases, far exceeds the speed limit. This brings about another common cause of motorcycle accidents. The freedom of the open road and the thrill of going so fast at a mere few inches from the asphalt but, traveling at velocities over the speed limit can have dire consequences. Thus, speeding can be very dangerous and is often the cause of motorcycle accidents. For more details log on to Personal injury lawyers.

Get well soon!
And for those of you who think this is only being publicized to get attention for Jeff prior to a run for office, Jeff is one of those born again conservative guys. If he were running for office, would the Pilot do anything to help him? Think about that a minute . . .

Well wishes for a speedy recovery...I had to reread the last line...glad it didn't say 'in' the air!

Bicycling can be dangerous. More Americans are killed bicycling than any other sport.

Is it only news if it informs us of death, destruction, or depression? Is it only news if it is something that pertains to a topic of individual interests? It is a comunity interest story with no hidden political agenda. It amazes me how, as benign a story this was, it can be used as a soapbox for the decay of western civilization.

I've watched jeff for years and he is my favorite meteorologist due to his easy going instructional style, and I wish him a speedy recovery and feel his disappointment of not being able to make that contest.
BUT let
's get back to the more important matters of changing from the free market, pioneer built America that our grand and great grand fathers sacrificed so much to maintain, to only now watch their grand & great grand sons tear down in a matter of a few months thru creative propaganda Nazi style, and underlying evil maneuvers to further the cause of Kruschev's destruction from within philosophy.

run for office or something?
While this is newsworthy to an extent (and I join the others in wishing Jeff a speedy recovery) is this really deserving of not only 2 days running, but being bumped up to the very top of the Local News on the second day?
So there's plenty of type space & writers to give local celebrity fluff, but not enough to yet bring us an account of a major news item like last Friday night's voting by the House on the hotly contested Cap & Trade Bill - the monumental tax increase disguised as an environmental initiative that was also uncharacteristically opposed by a local Congressman?
For those wondering why a once respected paper is suffering in the credibility & readership departments, I think I know why.

I remember Hurricane Isabelle. It was a tough one. My home and farm sustained $10,000 in damage. I lost half my barn's roof. Now, wherever you live, you may have thought it was a cakewalk, but I was at ground zero. I appreciate the hard efforts of Jeff Lawson, spending the night at the station. He really did an excellent job. He will be sorely missed from 13's Weather, as well as out there riding on the bike.

Think about this...just because a thought pops into one's mind doesn't mean it needs to be shared because you have a computer! And you know who you are...ahhh, well you probably don't. Anyway, I hope Mr. Lawson recovers quickly for himself and his family.

Those of you who think this is the time to b***h about the weather need to think about how you have never made a mistake in school or at work. I bet most of us don't have a job nearly as tough as forecasting weather...and yet I know some of you are the ones who can't seem to understand why I would order a burger with NO ONIONS. Sorry your kid's party got rained on!

Go bloviate somewhere else...or at least take a breath mint.

Moose,
You used "heels" which is the plural of heel, the bottom part of a foot. To recover, or get better is to heal. Just thought you would like to know next time you want to point out the mistakes of others.

Sounds like Jeff had a bad chain. I figure he was standing up to get more spin from the pedals when the chain slipped, catapulting him over the handlebars. I have had some close calls when my foot pulled out of the pedals doing the same thing. That's a touch accident, occurring right in prime racing season and in the summer. It's a killer on a Saturday when you can't get out there with your buds. Been there done worse, broken collar bone, separated shoulder, broken pubis bone in the pelvis, broken elbow. To think, we go through all these accidents just for fun and exercise.

Get well soon, Jeff. Remember the lady, who asked you if you were a gynecologist at a local bike party? That was my wife. Hang in there. You'll be back out there, soon.

Hey Mr. Moose, how's about kicking a man when he is down. O, wait, you just did. Shame on you! Hang in there Jeff, we are pulling for a speedy recovery. God bless and keep you. pw in NC

This is news?

Call in Dr. Duane! He will give us all a correct report as he did for us years ago. He was the BEST.

But maybe as he's recovering he'll watch his peers on tv and realize just how ridiculous they look when they hype the weather and act like a little north-easterner or little hurricane is the end of the world. You would think these people have never lived on the coast before. Every little storm they hype it up to a cat-4. I will always remember my family laughing at him during Isabelle when he had his sleeves rolled up and tie undone like it was a physical stress to report on the storm. I'd like to have a job where I could be wrong most of the time and still be employed... Then again, maybe not. I do think he's probably a nice guy and hope he heels quick and fully.
