Half of Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver’s face is bruised and purple, and there are stiches over his left eyebrow and a scab across his nose and the back of one of his hands. Silver sustained the injuries while riding a bicycle when he hit a pothole and fell, according to a spokesman for the lower Manhattan Democrat.
“The speaker said to me he feels a lot better than he looks,” spokesman Michael Whyland said.
Despite the injuries, the 35-year-veteran legislator is keeping up with his normal schedule. Whyland said Silver is in his New York City office today with a series of meetings scheduled, and that he’ll be in Washington tomorrow and in Albany and Utica later in the week.
Silver’s appearance was reported to me Friday evening by a source who saw the speaker.

It is clear to me, that if bicycle riding wasn’t a liberal thing to do, it would have been outlawed long ago.
See, it is much more dangerous than plenty of things they have outlawed, and has much less utility than the same. But, they like it because it makes them feel good about themselves, and we conservatives think that if people want to kill themselves- they can go at it.
Good for him he voted pro toeiva
Hes going to need alot more than that for a kaparah!
SUE SHELLY SUE!!!
Maybe he should sue Bloomberg for not fixing the pothole in bike lanes. He definitely won’t fix them in car lanes.
