What kind of a person does this?

I'm sorry to hear about your friend and his accident. I hope that his recovery goes well for him.

Riding on country roads is a fear of mine and one that I will have to overcome in the near future as I will be living in North Carolina by the end of August. I am signed up for the MS 150 on September 7th and 8th from New Burn. Is this the one that you are signed up to do as well?

I'm so glad that he is doing ok. And is in good spirits.

As much as I am personally aware that drivers drive negligently (and furthermore that negligent drivers are still responsible for the damage that they do), I will say that I incurred more damage than that with just me and the pavement. If you are going 25 mph and hit the road, it hurts and breaks bones.

Unless there was a witness or some evidence of a vehicle being involved, it's possible that there was no vehicle involved.

I am happy your friend is doing well and his spirit is not crushed! I am sorry that the driver did not stop. I wasn't there and I don't know the full story. However, I am willing to bet that the driver heard/ felt something. I mean we notice when large bugs hit the windshield- not to compare your friend to an anthropod. We complain about pothole roads. We get upset when people shoulder us on the street. There are things we are willing to give time to think about and there are things some people are willing to run away from. Maybe we all need to shift our perspective just a little bit. But well you all know my perspective...

That thought crossed my mind, too. How do you know he was actually hit by a car if he can't remember what happened?
