Its hard to believe the driver was not given a ticket. This was a group ride. I am sure he noticed more than usual bicycle traffic, or the problem is maybe he didn’t. In any case he owns a steel co but I am sure this did not influence the decision. History repeats on another group ride in bike friendly Carolina
Sunday 10/21: Lee Anne Barry and another cyclist, Tom Hoskins of Columbia, were hit by a Chrysler SUV as they headed northbound on U.S. 521 in Lancaster County.
Both cyclists died from their injuries.
The driver of the SUV, a woman from Greensboro who has not been charged, was not injured, the S.C. Highway Patrol said Monday. The wreck remains under investigation.
There are motorists who think it's their inalienable right to pass you at 40+ mph faster than you are going and not even pull over into the other lane, even though nothing is coming. This means 2 tons of steel whizzes by about 4 feet from your rear end, big whoosh sound!
I'll take my chances on the treadmill and tennis courts.
I am very sorry to hear about the 2 deaths. The driver should be charged with something.
