"Reports also indicate Hobbs was riding to Thornton's left inside the westbound lane."

Not a good idea to ride in the lane in Texas.

My brother was hit and killed on his bike along a very wide road in Georgia. Nothing was done to the guy who hit him, who did stop and call the police. The guy driving the car was shaky as far as his driving history and some other facts in his background, but there were no witnesses, other than the driver.


I used to ride my bike 18 miles to work from Higganum to Wallingford, CT. For a good deal of the ride, I rode on a section of road about 12" wide outside of the white line marking the edge of the road. Those cars were whizzing by awfully close. I, too, was training for triathlons.

That is the amazing thing about hit-and-runs. Unless they are drunk or seriously disobeying traffic laws, if they stop they won't even be charged.

headed home from Superbowl halftime, my wife and I came up behind a weaving car doing about 20 (in a 45) - weaving / crossing the lines etc - I felt bad about calling 911 and having the slob pulled over until I just read your letter

My sincere condolences
