Dan Rubinstein has walked in northern Quebec, in inner-city Philadelphia, in the
British Isles, and more, to research his just-released book Born to Walk. But it
was right around the corner from his house that the Ottawa author encountered a
pedestrian’s worst nightmare. Rubinstein was walking his twin daughters, Maggie
and Daisy, to school in their Alta Vista neighbourhood, as he does most
mornings. Maggie was ahead of him on her bike. Daisy was behind. As he watched,
a car turned directly into Maggie, crushing her bike. The car then swerved and
ran over Rubinstein’s legs. via
