Nicole had a safer bike route planned for that day, that did not get used. It is so hard to watch ypu and your mother suffer while people ridicule you. I pray that you recover and that the pain in your mother's heart will eventually fade.

This horrible tragedy was 100% preventable. With all the bike paths in Montgomery Village, why that road was used, will forever haunt this family. My heart is breaking as I watch this family grieve. Nicole is missing so much of her life. Those who know her, know she is not a risk taker.
