I kicked off Bike Month by getting hit by a motorist that ran a red light and did not see me on my bicycle wearing a safety yellow shirt. Wish I could have done it a different way. I still love to ride thank God I will be back on soon.
ReplyDeleteRob,
ReplyDeleteWow! I hope you weren't injured and that the cops ticketed the guy who ran the red light. You make the case for why we should consider red light traffic cameras in Lee County.
Darla
She was ticketed and injuries aren't that bad considering. Also there were two families that stopped and gave their accounts to the FHP thank you to them.
ReplyDeleteRob,
ReplyDeleteWe are interested in getting more details re: the location of this crash (intersection) and would love to get in touch with you directly re: your suggestions for signage near bike/ped paths. Could you e-mail me directly: dletourneau@bikewalklee.org? Thanks!
