I can’t say I blame you.
For various reasons, I have taken up riding a motorcycle to work. I’m close enough to ride a bicycle (9 miles), but the thought of taking a bicycle out on some of these streets is horrendous.
I went to graduate school at UC Davis. Davis is a model bicycle-friendly town, with dedicated bicycle lanes and traffic signals. Unfortunately, most places just don’t accommodate bicyclists.

I’ve never dragged and animal or a bike under my SUV, but I’m guessing they sound different?

She said she thought she HIT an animal; didn’t say anything about being aware of dragging much of anything.
People don’t believe her, but weirder things have happened. In Baltimore some illegals ran over a child in a stroller and dragged it for blocks on end, not knowing. (The poor child was killed, too.)

Having recently lost a family member to a hit & run - your comment was appropriate. Sadly, the majority of comments on this thread are disgusting. Clearly, not all are Christians.

Maryland State Police were called shortly after 5:30 a.m. Sunday by someone who had seen the injured Pettigrew along Route 202 in Largo, according to State Police spokesman Greg Shipley. I wonder if she could have lived if treated sooner. Prayers up.
