Bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as other traffic on the road. They are NOT pedestrians and the failure to recognize that fact (from either side) can be dangerous.Bicycles are worth points.
In February I was riding Inside Highlands Hammock State Park on my RB1 when some JACKASS came off a county road, ran his stop sign, and broadsided me. He was clearly exceeding 30+ MPH and accelerated as he turned onto the park road which has a speed limit of 15MPH.
My bike was destroyed and I suffered seven broken ribs and a punctured lung.
The driver sped off and left me for dead.
This road would normally have been filled with families and small children and the results could have been a lot worse.
I am still recovering and the prognosis is good.
Be careful out there and take care to show a little courtesy whether you are driving a car, motorcycle, or even a bicycle.
