Hi there, my name is Emily DeMarco -- I'm a reporter working with PublicSource, an organization focused on in-depth and investigative news for the region (you can check out our work here: www.publicsource.org)
Eric suggested I post a note here to see if anyone would be interested in speaking with me about bike accidents related to street maintenance (potholes, grates, etc.)
You can give my desk a ring 412-765-9650 or send me an email at edemarco@publicsource.org
Regards,
Emily

... there's nasty broke-bike pics but not a direct contact person here, too: http://bike-pgh.org/bbpress/topic/caution-ellsworth-avenue-outbound
Thanks -- I hadn't seen the second thread you listed (my eyes popped looking at the photo, and I'd love to talk to the friend noted as 'Dave' to hear more about the costs incurred from that pothole!)
Yeah, those pics are motivating me to get my recalled fork fixed.
I'd PM the poster of the pic see if they're around. Not everybody reads every thread, so might not see your request. PMs can be funny, though.
Thanks for the advice (and I need to update my profile to at least include a photo!)
