Now, old people on BICYCLES?! ohh, don't get me started...

About 15 years ago, I saw an old man on a bike get hit by an 18-wheeler here in Rocky Mount.
He got thrown clear across the intersection; I will never forget it.

He pulled right out in front of the truck; there was nothing the trucker could do but slam on brakes.

Bacon had a similar experience some two decades ago, and lived to tell. (He was the cyclist, not the trucker.)
