Other: Yesterday morning, Wednesday August 20, at approximately 11:00 am, I was riding my bike southbound on the B-Line trail through Switchyard Park. In front of me on the trail was a riding lawn mower. As I pulled around to pass the mower on the left, the driver turned left without looking and knocked me off my bicycle. No one was injured, but the front wheel of my bike is wrecked. The incident occurred near light pole BL 29, which appears to have a security camera on it, in case it's helpful to review the camera footage. The operator of the mower is named Larry Norris, he works for Green Dragon Lawncare, under contract to perform maintenance services for the City. If it's possible to have my wheel replaced by their insurance, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Emailed cyclist Andrew Kurst and Green Dragon owner Brian Obery with an exchange of contact information. Brian says he will take care of it.
Andy, Can you send me a phone number you can be reached at? I'll will give it to the Owner at Green Dragon and he will contact you.

Thanks for this report. You're right that they are contracted to perform work mowing at Switchyard Park. You will need to contact them directly but I am also sending this on to our Switchyard GM so he has awareness and can help connect you or follow up if needed.
