The way Luke Hoffman handled a brush with death says a lot about how he approaches life.

Hoffman, one of the Des Moines Register's 15 People to Watch in 2025, is director of the iowabicycle Coalition, a statewide assemblage of cycling interests whose agenda for 2025 is topped by an all-out push to win passage of long-sought legislation requiring that drivers' use of communications devices like cellphones be hands-free while they're at the wheel. 

The goal: reining in distracted driving, the cause of an average of nine fatal accidents a day in the United States, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
