Would this be the long bridge coming into town from the south on I95? I could see falling off that one, and there aren't a whole lot of neighbors.

Of course, if he had a "I Love California" sticker on his helmet he'd be lucky the locals didn't shoot him...

[Squawk 8888]

apparently tipped over a guardrail on an unlit bridge

Funny how the propagandists never fail to mention when an injured cyclist didn't wear a helmet, but didn't bother to point out that this accident wouldn't have happened if this guy had lights on his bike.

[Atomic Vomit]

If he was wearing those dopey shorts and the other bike-riding regalia considered neccesary today, I'd wouldn't have ignored him.

I'd have pissed over the edge and given him a splatter as payback for bad fashion and the traffic rudeness these uniformed clowns subject to those they are supposed to be sharing the roads with.

... and then climbed onto support beams 12 feet above water, where he began to scream for help.

Couldn't swim? Didn't want to get his perm wet? Psychic blindness? Or just an idiot?

Bonehead should have gotten off his bike and walked. Pedestrian bridges are for pedestrians. The dude is shooting for a Darwin award.

[Tacis]

Just another demonstration of the high regard in which the general public holds these arrogant bicyclists. But, this one will be out blocking traffic again, it appears.

[Lazamataz]

The cyclist managed to scramble to safety on the bridge's concrete piling, and then climbed onto support beams 12 feet above water, where he began to scream for help.

OH FOR G-D'S SAKE!!!

If I saw some pantywaist screaming for help because he was 12 feet above water, I'd laugh my ass off at him and keep walking, too! What is he, part cat?

It appears that bicyclists and motorists get along about as well on the internet as they do on the road. :)

geez, the poor slob had an accident, do what you would like someone to do for you and give him a hand. talk about striking a nerve...

Why was he riding his bike on a pedestrian bridge?

I used to ride a bicycle everywhere some years ago. Things were different then. You didn't assume that cars would move over for you, and you did everything possible to stay alive.

The current breed of bicyclists are certainly different.

Just the other day, I was heading home up the two-mile, one-lane gravel road that leads to the road where I live. Naturally, two city people were riding their bicycles downhill. I slowed to about 10 mph and stayed as far to the right as I could in my full-size pickup. Apparently, I was supposed to just drive off the side of the mountain to accomodate these bicylists, because the woman rider yelled something at me as she passed.

I once saw a bicyclist stop at a stop sign, but it is indeed a very rare occurance.

In my neck of the woods, coming around a sharp turn and encountering bicyclists riding 2 or 3 abreast is unfortunatly not a rare occurance. I feel safer driving when the weather is poor, because I know there are not likely to be any bicylists riding on the roads.

I don't understand the mentality of today's bicyclists. I prefer staying alive to making sure that anyone driving a motor vehicle "knows and respects my rights." It's just crazy.

>SANDPOINT, Idaho -- A bicyclist who fell off a pedestrian bridge clung to its girder and yelled for five hours before he was rescued -- ignored by two boys who walked away laughing, police said.

In Edgar Steele's hometown of all places!  Steele was the attorney for both Joanne McGuckin and the Christines.

This is a prophetic picture based on the principle of inasmuch as ye did it (or did it not) unto the least of these, ye did it (or did it not) unto me.  Mt 25:31-46.

In a narrow sense, if (and there is reason to consider this scenario) Steele was a double agent for the forces of darkness and was hired in to do a less than good job for Joanne McGuckin and the Christines, then he is that yuppie on a bike and he is a betrayer, a despiser of them that are good and a hypocrite and shall receive a hypocrite's reward:  When he calls for help, God will not answer.

In a broader sense, America, the yuppie on the bike who lost his way, fell off the path, who traditionally prefers his own thing and has no time for the cares of downtrodden and persecuted such as widow Joanne McGuckin and her five children or Brian and Ruth Christine, the tip of the round-up.  That America is cruising for a fall or a wreck pictured in all the recent train wrecks.  That America, because it would not hear when the Lord called, will not be heard by the Lord when it falls.  When she calls for help, God will not answer.
 
Will you inherit Psalm 91 or Proverbs 1:20-33?

Jerry Golden: Vision of 10-06-01

If one substitutes the word "Lord" for the word "Wisdom" hereafter, one shall truly get the mind of Christ towards those in America who refuse to repent.

Pr 1:20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? [seduction] and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 For the turning away [backsliding/apostacy] of the simple [seduced] shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
