That Man Is Lucky To Be Alive
He Needs To Play The Lottery!!!
If you ride so low that you are not visible to the traffic your riding with you cant blame anyone but yourself for getting ran over !! Was he afraid the treatments might involve a blood draw?? And its obvious that the Sheriff is a better man than those who “bash” him. 🙂
I’ve encountered MANY. RECUMBENT BICYCLES in county, cities, etc. Most do have reflectors, flags, etc.AS A DRIVER YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO OBSERVE NOT ONLY WHAT’S IN FRONT OF YOUR HOOD BUT ALSO WHAT IS AROUND YOU. IF YOU, Karma, DON’T WANT THAT RESPONSIBILITY GIVE UP YOUR LICENSE.!!!!!!! If you deserve to be bashed, you earned it by a stupid selfish act.
