I love bicycling, but I only do it on bike trails, not public roads. Bicyclists are crazy. I recall some woman thrusting her hand out to the left vertically to signal a left turn, and turning suddenly right in front of me. I was driving to the drug store to get penicillin for my daughter, and my wife was distraught with a seriously sick child. Even on my best day, that cyclist was making a dangerous and illegal maneuver. They drive on the wrong side of the street and routinely run stop signs. They run into the rear of cars at round-abouts (rotaries). They weave into traffic. They ride three abreast. I hate the bad ones.
I’m with you when it comes to riding on trails and not on the road. I’m probably not the best judge of my own riding, but I also assume that the cars do NOT see me!
“Bradley University students organized a vigil to honor Rosewicz and Prowant after their deaths. When her fellow students learned Melgoza was going to be allowed to walk at graduation even after being charged in the fatal crash, they protested.
She was allowed to accept her diploma but removed from the list of students permitted to walk at graduation, The Bradley Scout reported Thursday.” chroniclet.com
