Cyclists ride past the US Capitol in Washington, DC, on April 27, 2021.
  • Bicyclists from all over the country came to DC this week to lobby Congress. 
  • They're asking for e-bike tax credits and road safety funding, among other things.
  • US roads have gotten much deadlier in recent years as biking has boomed. 

Dorian Grilley was biking in a crosswalk when he was hit by a car making a right turn in Oakdale, Minnesota in 2011. 

The driver got a $500 ticket for careless driving and Grilley was hospitalized for three weeks with a broken neck. Nearly five months and several surgeries later, he was cross-country skiing again and back at work as the director of the Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota.
