2nd Bicycle Rider Sues Over Accident Involving Streetcar Tracks

A bicycle rider in downtown Milwaukee becomes the second to file a lawsuit after falling off her bike when a tire became wedged in streetcar tracks.  Trace Matabele broke both elbows and a rib and is expected to need six weeks of physical therapy.  Expert cyclists suggest getting five-inch tires to avoid being stuck in the space between the pavement and the rail.  Matabele is a teacher at the Lincoln School of the Arts.  She says her tire became wedged and she fell when she was trying to maneuver out.  She’s suing the city of Milwaukee.
