Best friend passed out twice during bicycle ride

Yes we were out riding our bicycles at the beach and my best friend passed out twice. He was taken to the hospital and received a stent near his heart. He's feeling much better and we're going back to the beach tomorrow for another bicycle ride -- a very short one.

Im sure that had to be a scary situation
to experience with you and your friend
at the beach. Is he in recovery too? Did
you have to dial 911 there on the spot
or were you able to drive your friend to the
hospital yourself?

I'm glad was able to received help with getting
that stint put near his heart to give him
hopefully many more yrs to exercise and
ride his bike with you.

Hey Bob, that sounds scary and a bit traumatic, both for him and for you!

So glad your friend is on the mend and you can get back to your biking tomorrow.
