Default Brother went down
My brother was in a bike accident a few days ago, was accelerating up an interstate entrance ramp and noticed a tree-covered Yield sign. Got sandwiched between a car and the curb. He's busted up but not in danger. Oklahoma City ticketed him $250. If we lived there we'd fight it. He'll be in the hospital probably for a week before he can get home in Memphis. He and I just got back from a ride up in South Dakota, he was on his way home. Everyone be careful.

Sorry to hear about your brother. All of us are pulling for his speedy recovery.

It hurts us just to hear about incidents like this.

We are glad he is otherwise ok.

Not trying to be a dick, but it doesn't really matter if the yield sign was covered or not, It's HIS responsibility to merge safely onto the interstate. Sorry he got hurt, but it sounds like he needs to figure things out a little bit before he merges onto an interstate.
