Capitol Alert

Good thing that Assemblyman Roger Niello doesn’t make his living racing bicycles.

A recreational bike ride went awry Sunday, leaving the Republican lawmaker with a broken clavicle.

Niello came to work Monday in a sling, which he expects to tote around for about six weeks.

The accident occurred when he returned to his Fair Oaks home after pedaling around Lake Natoma. He glanced at a gauge on the bicycle, then lost control when a wheel hit the curb beside his driveway, sending him sprawling, Niello said.

“I’ll survive,” he said, smiling.

(And, yes, he WAS wearing a helmet, Niello said.)
