OK, now I know where you're talking about. Freeman is a pretty rough road. It was really bad before the potholes got filled. Any bike less than 52cm could be swallowed up & never seen again!

Yes, I'm quite proud of DH. He rides a Trek hybrid, wears old t-shirts & regular shorts (yes, I bought him PI's, he would rather wear yellow t-shirts from Target) and carries a big pack on his bike rack. But, he's out on his bike at 12mph & that's all that counts!To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.

Glad to hear everyone finished! Great picture Dogmama-I wouldn't want to mess with those guys eitherl
MP- I can easily understand how you got dropped by starpowere DH and petit MP. What a team!
As far as Raleigh Don goes- he's just one of those "big dawgs" in disguise. If you met him, you'd probably never guess what a cyclist he is. AND- how old is this dude? (I might have known, but can't remember). No spring chicken, that's for sure!!!!
Sorry to hear about the accident. Wonder if they ever found the guy. Nancy

Not yet. And one cyclist is still in critical condition. Police are hoping that people who were snapping pictures might have a picture of the car & license plate. Originally Posted by Bike Goddess

More about the accident
It appears the driver was a 91 year old man who is turning himself in via a lawyer.

We get so many snow birds that have no business on the road. I told one of my elderly friends that he needs to quit driving & his retort was, "I don't drive any worse than anybody else on the road."
