Where is the accountability!? The kid should get more that just a $42.00 ticket! At least get community service on how 'not' to hit a defenseless cyclist on the road. Besides, I'm sure he feels awful and this would also be therapy for him and dealing with the fact that he caused someone's death.

I'm still recovering from a cycling accident on Sept., 3rd and know how lucky I am. It could have been a lot worse. I had a fractured and very bruised right hand and a had a concussion (you should see my helmet!), however I think I'm ready for a trial run on the road again.

ACCOUNTABILITY people!
