bike paramedics save heart attack victim at the Taste

Here's a cool story from today's Sun-Times.

I've seen the bike paramedics in action around the Loop. Those incidents and this story are a great illustration of the difference bikes can make for first responders in getting to a call quickly in congested areas.

Elvis lives a few blocks from me. When he's not working, he rides with the Beverly Bike-Veepak racing team. I occasionally see him riding around the neighborhood or zipping by on a team ride.

Note that the good samaritan who started CPR before they arrived was also a cyclist. Does anyone know who she was?

It made my day, too.
Great story! Thanks - I'm in the office by myself today and that made my day.
