Stephen Covey rode a bicycle

  1. USA Today’s coverage originally contained the unfortunate quote, “He was wearing a helmet, which is good news.”

    That remark was actually made at the time of Covey’s accident, not in response to his subsequent death. USA has since edited it out of the article without comment.

  2. Wait, he had a bike crash in April, gets out of the hospital, and dies in July, and they blame it on the bike? That’s a lot of displaced hatred and I’m not buying it. Very unlike Covey’s writings.
