Talk About Bicycling Vindication!

I dunno, if they'd bumped redrhodie there's no telling what would've happened

Ha! Good thing they didn't have to find out. I would have done whatever I needed to to stay safe. I'm really glad this turned out well for her, too!

As for getting a description of the driver, easier said than done. She managed to look directly into the car because of traffic situations. When the stuff was thrown at me, the car was coming from behind, and I wasn't expecting it. By the time I was hit, I could only see the back of the car, so getting a visual id was impossible (until they stopped, and even then I only saw one of them very well).

I haven't heard from the prosecutor, and their hearing is Fri, so I guess they don't need me.

If I could be ther for the victim impact part of the trial I'd certainly go to support her.

Thanks for sharing your story velociviexen! I'm sharing it with everyone I know! Drivers need to wake up and realize that (moms, dads, sons, daughters, loved ones, friends, human beings) are on those bikes!

It always amazes me how judgmental people can be based simply on your vehicle of choice at any given moment.

I was reading about the Big Ride Across America on a blog and one rider said that in Montana someone drove by and screamed "Get a job, you filthy hippies!" lol It's amazing what a bicycle between your legs projects to people.
